Editorial: Rauner, Madigan, Let’s Do This In Public
Via Daily Herald:
“Imagine the political spectacle of Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner, Democratic House Speaker Michael Madigan and the other legislative leaders giving a public airing to the stumbling blocks that have kept Illinois without a budget for 120 days.
It would be quite a show. But with Illinois on a track to unprecedented financial doom, it has to be more than that.
…
The idea came from the Illinois Campaign for Political Reform, headed by former state Sen. Susan Garrett of Lake Forest, and six other political reform groups. In a letter, they offered to set up a public meeting for Illinois leaders to negotiate an end to the budget impasse.”
