Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner Hatchet job on Illinois Family is Supports and Voters Fault Too
I
am sure you have heard the saying, be careful for you wish for. Well the voters of Illinois are probably
regretting their strong support and vote for Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner
now. Since taking office, many of the
planned projects designed to better equip Rockford to join the 21st
Century have been put on hold as well as programs designed to help those
struggling families of the Stateline being cut under the guise of balancing
Illinois budget.
Never
mind that over 3 million dollars, which could have been used to fund many of
the programs Rauner is, has or thinking about cutting was used to upgrade the
governor’s mansion. Supporters say that
was because that money was slated for that cause so my question becomes hy then
is he justified with taking the money slated for those services and using them
for other purposes?
Classic
example is an article found on WREX.com from the Associated Press titled “Democrats
to hold hearing on Rauner education czar's salary”. In it you read that “Illinois Democrats have
scheduled a hearing on why Gov. Bruce Rauner's education secretary is being
paid from the state's human services budget. Lawmakers are expected to discuss
Beth Purvis' $250,000-per-year salary at a hearing Thursday in Springfield. Documents
obtained by the Chicago Sun-Times showed the money comes from human services,
even though Purvis reports to Rauner's office.
The
Republican governor has recommended cutting millions from the agency's budget
for programs that deal with autism and burials for the indigent. Rauner's
office says Purvis is paid with agency's funds because "a portion of her
portfolio is in early childhood development."
Well
I guess then it is okay to take from the poor and give to the rich, I guess it
is okay because the majority of the voters got what they wished for.
