Rauner's 'Turnaround Agenda' only produced nausea

Amateur Governor Bruce Rauner has been popping Dramamine pills like Lifesavers as his 'Turnaround Fantasy Tour' only produced trouble in Tummy Town. Just 35 of 1,400 hundred municipal governments and county boards jumped on Rauner's carnival stunt 'Tilt-A-Whirl' to pass resolutions supporting his anti union, anti worker agenda. And most of those were cities under 10,000 or counties under 50,000 folks. Heeding to the straight and clear headed, Ottawa passed it's own resolution specifically forbidding local 'Right To Work' zones, eliminating 'Fair Share' Union' payments for non-union workers, and undermining competitive wage scales, all of which degrade the middle class. But till vertigo set in, Rauner spun like top, making 62 stops in 52 cities between February 4 and May 8. During that time Rauner avoided the most important task of his new administration: offering sensible legislation to resolve Illinois's financial crisis greatly worsened by his refusal to support fair taxation; indeed any taxation at all unless it benefits his bloated and wealthy base. Governor Rauner ain't' seen nothing yet. His self induced nausea still has three years and seven months of spinning to go.
