Uh oh....
---------
Rauner has declared war on moderate Republicans, both on his staff and in Springfield.
Rauner has hired in mass former staff members of the Illinois Policy Institute (IPI), a hardline, right-wing think tank, and its sister organization, Liberty Principles PAC.
Both are tied to a conservative firebrand Dan Proft, a one-time gubernatorial candidate who now runs campaigns against moderate Republicans.

No negotiations Ruiner. He doesn't understand how governorship works. Thinks it my way or the highway
Sound familiar out of staters ?? And he is a rich businessman.Sound even more familiar??
In recent weeks, more than twenty high level staffers in the Rauner Administration have been fired or resigned, creating chaos within the administration. Really familiar ??
This is what we are stuck with in Illinois right now

The state isn't paying them so doctors and hospitals are going after people who have paid for insurance they aren't getting .. thanks to Ruiner. That's what you get when you elect repugs.
