#Rauer takes on #ILLINOIS Dems with both firsts

llinois has the worst credit rating of any state, and the worst-funded pension system, with an unfunded liability of $111 billion. Former Gov. Pat Quinn’s budget office estimated the state’s debt will reach $9.8 billion in 2017, up from $4 billion this year,reports The Washington Post.

Rauner defeated Quinn in the 2014 election to become the first Republican governor in the state since 2003.

In addition to the spending freeze, Rauner ordered a review of all state contracts and a list of those that could be terminated, putting a hold on most new contracts and grants until July. He stopped planning on highway spending projects and said agencies should sell equipment they don’t need.

#RepublicanTakeOver - WE WON!!! Nov 4, 2014

Yesterday, here on Chi's Far North side (Rogers Park) in our Precint we had to turn away about 10 voters (Our of 200+) - 3 could not vote at all, 3 wrong precint, 3 had to register so were sent downtown. Even the Brain-Dead Democrats could not put up with it all so some went home.

It was a lot worse in Lakeview where some voters were still waiting at 3:00 AM Due to equipment failures and un-qualifed personnel. 

The PLANNIG was VERY POOR and probably sent even more of those voters home in precints that were worse off.

I'm sure you've heard about the ROBO-CALLS that Illiois Election Judges got on Sat - tellins us we had to attend a special JUDGE TRAINING on the South Side. Judges were confused and some very confused and some quit.  I got one but knew that the ONLY TRAINING on Sunday was an OPTIONAL JUDGES TRAINIG at the Loyola Park fieldhouse to ignored it since the number left was wrong or our Ward. 

The PPA (Polling Place Administrator - who sets up and dissambles the Electronic equipment) had to come from 79th St here to 7200 N, it was very poor logistics planning. She also had to rely on the manual for every step so assembly and take-down of the Touch Screen was painfully slow.  Fortunately we had a pro for the Ballot Scanner and the Election Book so that went well. 

Pat Quinn was rejected because he respresented the POLITICAL MACHINE AS IS in ILL and Voters were tired of it all. (Not here in BRAIN-DEAD Far North side CHi, which is SOLID BLUE) but the rest of the state did not buy it any longer. The Traditional Dem 'Ground Game' was missing here on the Far North side of Chicago with fewer than a quarter of registered voters showing up.  The number was difficult to guage since other polling places were open onlhy two blocks north and south. 

IT WAS LONG DAY Fro 4:00 AM will 9:00 PM BUT 

WE WON!!!

breaking news Inbox x Updates x Bruce Rauner BruceR@brucerauner.com via cmail2.com  1:01 PM (3 hours ago) to me It’s breaking news.  President Obama is coming back AGAIN to try  to rescue Pat Quinn from defeat.   I’m going to need your help now more than ever. The President must have figured out what we’ve known all along –  Pat Quinn is on the verge of defeat.  And if Quinn loses, the power  brokers who run Springfield lose too. With 23 days left in this campaign, I’m asking you to make a contribution of $23 or more today to send a clear message to the national Democratic Party – no matter how many times the President comes to rescue Pat Quinn, it won’t be enough to save him. “Today’s Illinois is broke and broken.”  That’s what the Chicago  Tribune said when it endorsed me today. “Quinn’s tenure as governor has been a complete failure.” “[Quinn]  is not the leader we need. Bruce Rauner is.”  “We now have a chance  to change course.”  That’s what the Daily Herald, Crain’s Chicago  Business and Shaw Media said when they endorsed me too. Broke and broken.  A complete failure.  A chance to change course.   But we’ll only get that chance if we win this election.   And we’ll only win this election if I can still count on the generous support you’ve shown since day one. Pat Quinn’s on the brink of defeat and the President’s going to try  to rescue him one more time.   Will you help me match Pat Quinn’s Obama fundraising machine by making a contribution of $23 or more online right now? Here’s a sampling of what the newspapers are saying about us: “A Gov. Rauner would restore state government to solvency” – Chicago Tribune “[Quinn] is not the leader we need. Bruce Rauner is.” –  Daily Herald “Rauner is the best candidate to pull the Illinois economy  out of its low-growth rut.” – Crain’s Chicago Business “Quinn offers more of the same failures. Bruce Rauner  gives Illinois hope.” – Shaw Media You have the power to put us over the top.  You have the power  to shake up Springfield and bring back Illinois.   Will you make it happen? The President’s coming back to try to rescue Pat Quinn.   I need your help… …will you help? Bruce p.s. Pat Quinn has lost every newspaper endorsement so far –  and he’s growing more desperate by the day.   With the President coming back to try to rescue Pat Quinn, will you contribute $23 or more right now?  Thank you! – BR

Illinois Gubernatorial Debate - Quinn v. Ruaner

PEORIA, Ill. (Associated Press) -Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn and Republican Bruce Rauner met for their first true debate of the Illinois governor's race.

The candidates in the race for Illinois governor are presenting contrasting views on the economic climate in Illinois.

Gov. Quinn says manufacturing is up since he's been governor and notes auto manufacturing companies including Chrysler and Ford have increased jobs in recent years under his watch.

But Rauner says the state's regulations and taxes are stifling growth.

Quinn wants to extend the state's temporary tax increase which is set to expire next January. Rauner, meanwhile, supports an incremental rollback.

The candidates have contrasting views on a proposal to fix the formula used to fund the state's schools.

Democratic Sen. Andy Manar's proposal would direct more state money to poorer rural districts at the expense of wealthier suburban districts. The plan passed the Senate in the spring and is being considered in the House. Lawmakers from wealthier Chicago suburbs object to the funding cuts some districts would face.

Gov. Quinn says the state needs to increase education investment. But he says Manar's proposal needs "a lot of oversight and review" as well as more debate.

Rauner says he "probably wouldn't support that particular bill." He said he favors an overhaul of the current formula.

We’re in the midst of what has become the most fascinating Illinois governor’s race in decades. Though the campaign still is in its early stages, the contest between Democratic incumbent Gov. Pat Quinn and Republican challenger Bruce Rauner already has become noteworthy for money raised and spent, pointed rhetoric (“Quinnocchio” vs. the “billionaire”) and the sharply divergent styles and philosophies of the candidates.
