Pat Quinn Skips Rauner's Inauguration

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Good, good. The Democrats need to fight against this right-wing madman at every turn, before he destroys the state of Illinois.

The state of Illinois is already destroyed in terms of its economy. I'm optimistic about Rauner, but no matter what sort of governor he is, he surely can't be worse than Quinn, who was without a doubt the worst democratic governor in the country.

Anyways, this makes Quinn even more of an HP than he already was.

I hate this about this site.  Right wing is the far right of the American political spectrum.  Ted Cruz is not right wing.  Left wing is the far left of the American political spectrum.  Bernie Sanders is left wing.

The People's Pat was right to skip the inauguration, especially in light of this:

Great. Just gets into office and Rauner is already disappointing me.

What's so disappointing to you?

I have a feeling Rauner is going to become one of this forum's pet hates as time goes on.

He has been since August 2014

Yup, barely inaugurated and he's already slashing workers' wages. Too bad the good people of Illinois did not listen to Pat Quinn's many warnings that this would happen.

Well, it's either cut spending or raise taxes, or some combination. How many state contractors actually pay minimum wage, anyways?

As a supporter of minimum wage increases and making governors\presidents release tax returns, this reversal does not please me.
