friday news dump from illinois gubernatorial candidate bruce rauner.

Republican candidate for Illinois governor Bruce Rauner released his 2013 income taxes late Friday afternoon.
The release reveals Rauner made more than $60 million and paid more than $17 million in state and federal taxes. He also gave more than $5 million to charity.
“I’m nobody that nobody sent and independent of the special interests,” Rauner said in a statement Friday. “Unlike Pat Quinn, who put self-dealing and cronyism ahead of the people, I’ll put the people first and end decades of corruption in state government.”

not the world's most effective administrator, but a good man. he does not take advice well, which, in his shoes, i might not either.

and as always with dems, he is shoveling up after the elephants and the clowns.

and rauner's ads couldnt get any lower. harold washington and pat had a spat 30 years ago. big deal.

madigan needs to go. i hope before lisa tries again she gets the old man to retire. he is concrete overshoes for her.
he is petty little dictator of amazing power. the stories i have heard about the way he is obeyed are sickening.
but the bigots in his district think he is just the bees knees and anybody running against him is the spawn of satan.
