Look for even sweeter pension deals for unions, even more crony contracts, and ever higher taxes to pay for it all.

No thanks.
Honestly, I think this is why I don't mind keeping Rauner in office. A relatively moderate Republican governor isn't necessarily a bad thing in an otherwise heavily Democrat-leaning state. Illinois has had a pretty bad history with its governors over the decades (to put it mildly!), so as long as Rauner's pretty clean when it comes to not being a completely corrupt, criminal SOB, what's the huge harm in keeping him?

Yeah, I know. Not exactly great reasoning. But this state really does need someone who will at least make an attempt at working on the multiple pension crises, not to mention the overall general fiscal trainwreck that exists.
