Democratic dinner this evening. Our state treasurer should be there. Lisa Madigan, several Congress people and some candidates will be there as well. I will be listening closely.

We have had mixed legislatures and governors in the past. They have managed to work together, no matter what party was in power. They passed budgets. This is all Rauner the Ruiner. He thinks he can run the state like a business. It is running like a trump business right now: straight into bankruptcy.
