What is wrong with Illinois? We can’t seem to elect an honest Governor! The current Governor is completely out of touch with the needs of the State and it’s residents. To date we have had a tax increase which is paid by the people who have just had their salaries cut and their raises eliminated. These same folks have made concessions such as unpaid furloughs, legally mandated increases and the increases they would have gotten if the tax increases in their company’s taxes had not occurred. We have incurred on the State and Federal level a depth of incompetence that rivals third world countries. The only thing the public has is the right to vote and unfortunately we have been too trusting in our elected officials to oust them especially when they use certain “sound bites” that arouse our innate fears of one another. We as voters have effectively been “advertised” into voting for the wrong people and been too complacent to remove them. There are no longer two parties any more we just have a group of elected officials who are not doing the job we elected them to do just what ever benefits them personally. Term Limits!
