Why does Illinois have so much bad luck with their governors?

Ill. budget deadline nears; House hears 'shutdown' details

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (Associated Press) -
The Illinois House plans to hear testimony from state agency officials on preparations for a disruption in state services because of the budget impasse.
House Speaker Michael Madigan, a Chicago Democrat, has invited 15 agencies that report to Gov. Bruce Rauner to explain arrangements on Tuesday.
The new fiscal year begins Wednesday but Republican Rauner vetoed a budget sent to him by Democratic lawmakers. Government workers will continue to be paid through mid-month but some services could stop before that.
Rauner is trying reassure workers that they will continue to get paid even if the deadlock continues.
The Senate will conduct a hearing on changes to workers' compensation - a Rauner priority. A spokeswoman says Democrats will also be asked whether they want to override Rauner's budget veto.

    What is God's salary? He must be paid the big bucks for being God.

    Did Rauner make more money than God?

    Just the facts, Ma'am.

    Most of our governors know how to make license plates
