The fact that our Governor(?) does most his work in Chicago brings about the question of “who does he really Govern, Chicago or the State?”
Of all the people who have run for this office, we have yet to get a really good one or at least one who understands the job. It is good PR to live and work in Springfield (you remember Springfield, the State Capital). With the trial and associated coverage of one former Governor, we now have one who gave raises to his staff while cutting the pay of union and non union workers. I believe we have a person in the Governors seat who promised the moon and can only deliver lip service to that promise. Politics is a business of promises , most of which are unable to be fufilled and the balance only slightly viable. When the voters are swayed by glitz and smooth sounding sound bites, we have already lost the power to control the officials we vote for. It appears to me that all who aspire to political office go in with the best intentions then quickly descend in the hell of the good old boys ineptitude.
