Bruce Rauner's bad week--but every week is a bad one for Quinn and ILL-inois

Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Rauner had a bad week. He got caught on both sides of the minimum wage issue. Rauner denied that he supported lowering Illinois' minimum wage to the national level--and then videotape from December surfaced that showed that the North Shore businessman proposed exactly that.

The Land of Lincoln has the second-highest unemployment rate in the Midwest. But as Mike Flannery pointed out on Fox News Chicago this morning, at least Rauner is talking about jobs and employment issues, unlike Pat Quinn, the incumbent Democrat.

Meanwhile, every week is bad one for Quinn and the people of ILL-inois. Moody's Analytics predicts that my state will have lowest job-growth in the nation this year. Except for New Jersey residents, Illinoisans endure the nation's heaviest property tax burden.

What is Pat Quinn's jobs plan? Other than being reelected in November, does Quinn have any plans?

Below you'll find Rauner's latest TV ad.
