Wednesday’s editorial on Bruce Rauner’s governorship states, “His sole debt is to the people of Illinois who elected him.”
That sounds astoundingly naive to me.
In fact, the editorial goes on to state, “Rauner and two allies had infused his campaign chest with a fresh $20 million.” Do you not think that possibly Rauner may have some debt to those contributors?
Though I did not vote for him, I hope Rauner can help the state get out of its fiscal crisis. But to portray him as some selfless man of the people who is only beholden to the voters who elected him and above any “quid pro quo” is ridiculous. Did you forget to put the halo above his head?
