Gov. Bruce Rauner Declares War on State Unions Through Executive Order

[Rockefeller GOP]

On election day, the voters stood with the People's Pat in supporting a raise in the minimum wage. I'm sure they'd be against this nonsense as well.

As was mentioned below, the people of IL voted in a governor who was very clear about cracking down on the unions.  They flatly rejected the People's Pat.

Rauner didn't go through his entire campaign without mentioning right to work. The people knew what they were voting for.

But did they really?

Yes.

Everyone who is against unions should be shot, like right now.

And this is why no one takes you guys' political views seriously.

But..but..moderate.
LOL.

On Atlas, you have to have left-of-center views on everything to be a moderate.  The second you have one view that is right-of-center, you're simply a right-winger.  There is no difference between Ted Cruz and Rauner; this is just a fact, okay?!

Rauner was never moderate about unions, particularly the leaders of public-sector unions, during the campaign, which is why they spent so much in both the primary and general election against him. However, he took such a moderate stance on social issues, that the unions paid for ads for the Libertarian candidate to try to peel off conservative votes. One of his executive orders this week was to begin the reform of sentencing guidelines to reduce the prison population, and it has gotten cheers from minority groups and other organizations that tend to the left.

Right, I was making the point that someone can be a moderate and still have SOME non-moderate views.
