Illinois Governor

Bruce Rauner

made his first budget speech to the legislature. For the first time in a decade a sitting governor has admitted that we are “Royally Rogered”. (my words, not his, but the point is the same). Governor Rauner’s solution is

cuts

. Many, many, many cuts. Which is exactly what needs to be done and is exactly what the real powers that be in Illinois would never allow to happen to the innumerable friends and family on the public dole. So the battle is joined, now we wait and see what

Speaker Madigan

and

President Cullerton

do. If past history is prologue, it won’t be pretty.
