In reply to the discussion: Illinois GOPer admits $100,000 wine club fee as Dem opponent tries to live on minimum wage [View all]global1
(26,181 posts)They've completely turned around his effort to boost the minimum wage in Illinois and labeled it a political stunt - while the money that Rauner has looks like it is buying him this election. Again - people are being influenced by political ads and MSM reporting - rather than really understanding what is going on in this state and understanding the issues.
Quinn is a good person and has been a good Governor considering the mess he was left in after Blago was put in jail.
Instead - the way the polls are going right now we'll wind up with a Wisconsin, Ohio, Florida, New Jersey, Michigan type Governor and government here in Illinois.
I wonder what the laws are in Illinois to recall a Governor. I'm afraid if Rauner wins this upcoming election it won't take the people long to realize the mistake they will have made and begin a recall campaign.
Oh - and did I say that Rahm E - mayor of Chicago is friends with Rauner.
