Only one Pink Slip needed to fix Illinois

The daily drumbeat of public employee layoff notices, students losing state aid, autistic kids denied desperately needed assistance, state vendors going belly up due to unpaid invoices is truly disheartening. This sickening crisis is due to unconscionable actions of a governor trying to run Illinois like one of the many acquired companies he broke up en route to fabulous personal wealth. Governor Bruce Rauner took a solvable financial dilemma in Illinois and turned it into a cruel assault on Illinois' middle class and most vulnerable to further enrich his rich base. He used his wealth to buy the governorship to implement a pretend 'turnaround agenda' which has done nothing but turnaround for the worse, the lives of folks with whom Rauner can never identify with. 

Having followed Illinois politics for ever 60 years now, I've seen five governors indicted, four of whom were jailed. Yet, none did so much damage to so many as the the heartless business mogul who's literally playing with peoples' lives and livelihood to ram his pro business agenda down Illinois' collective throats. Rauner still functions on the diseased vulture capitalist mindset that if an acquired company doesn't bend to his will it must be broken. Rauner may never sit in a real jail cell, but for millions of us he's already earned a lifetime sentence in the moral jail cell of governing cruelty. 

One Pink Slip can begin to heal Illinois. It bears the name Bruce Vincent Rauner.
