Rahm says the Rauner is borrowing from the "playbook of demonizing one group of people for his political advantage." Really? Emanuel's former boss Barack Obama has been using such Saul Alinsky tactics for decades.
Meanwhile there is hell on the asphalt in Chicago.
Rauner is locked in a nearly year-long budget battle with state House speaker Michael Madigan of Chicago, who is also the longtime chairman of the Illinois Democratic Party.
While there are plenty of people of both parties to point fingers at in regards to Illinois' years of budget deficits and pension funding shortfalls, only gerrymandering-empowered Madigan, who has been speaker of the state House for 31 of the last 33 years--has been in power the entire time as Illinois' fortunes sank.
June is off to a bad start in Chiraq--two South Siders were shot to death yesterday.
