Disappointment and the idea that we could do so much better in this state.

Embracing mediocrity is not the way to improve schools.

He can't mention ethics because he has failed to keep his promises.
|
He's cut college funding every year . . . and (then) in an election year, he promises $90 million he doesn't have.
|
He's employing the campaign strategy of carefully staged events and big ad buys paid for by special interests and no open debate.
|
I don't expect him to want to debate. He has a terrible record and no plan for the future.
|
I have not bought one second of his being too busy being governor to be a candidate.
|
I think everybody now knows the things that I care passionately about. And that doesn't change. If I think those things are being addressed, then I'm open to that, but it is a moment and he and I haven't talk and I am not thinking about that.
|
I think there's enough (time). I'm not worried about my campaign plan.

Just yesterday he diverted another $1.1 billion from pensions to pay for his election-year budget. He continues to reward contributors and his lobbyist friends in ways that give Illinois a bad reputation and have attracted the investigations of the U.S. attorney. Every where I go, people say it's time for a change.

The Governor has had four years to clean up pay-to-play politics in Illinois. He hasn't done it. The U.S. Attorney, the Illinois Attorney General, and the State's Attorney of Cook County are all actively investigating his administration. Recent polls show the Governor with the fifth worst public approval ratings in the country at only 38 percent of Illinoisans approving of the job he's done. The same polls have him losing the general election to the Republicans.
|
The State of Illinois has the fifth biggest economy in the country, but is 35th in growth. That is why I am running. We can and must do better. I know we don't have to be last!
