Chip in today to elect Dem govs across the country >>
Democratic governors are leading the fight against Donald Trump and his administration – and they need your help. Trump and his allies have hundreds of millions of dollars to attack our candidates, and we have to make sure we’ve got the resources to fight back. With 36 races on the map this November, 80% of Americans will cast their vote for their next governor. We need to invest NOW to expand our map, win in battleground states, protect our blue firewall of Dem govs, and flip critical states from red to blue. Can Dem govs count on you to chip in right now?
Rauner Takes To Facebook To Dodge Tough Questions On His Administration’s Failures
Missing From Event Were Any Questions Of Rauner’s Culpability In Budget Impasse
Today Bruce Rauner went on Facebook Live and explained to Illinois voters why, for a third straight year, there probably will not be a budget under his failed Governorship.
What was missing from Rauner’s event was any hint of personal responsibility; instead of showing any leadership, Governor Rauner continued to cast the blame on others.
Here is the reality. It is under Governor Bruce Rauner that the state’s credit was downgraded to near junk status, unpaid bills rose threefold, and schools are owed $1 billion. It’s under Governor Rauner that the state’s university system is teetering on failure.
As hard as he tries, Rauner cannot escape the fact that under him the state of Illinois is falling behind.
“Bruce Rauner can take all of the screened Facebook questions he wants, he still has failed to prove that he can pass a budget and govern the state,” said DGA Communications Director Jared Leopold. “Illinois families are tried of watching the state fall backwards under Rauner’s failed leadership in Springfield. They want a Governor that will take responsibility and move the state forward.”
