Rauner repeatedly lashes out at reporters over Madigan: Youre playing games and youre not reporting the truth to the people of Illinois
From the end of the governors press conference this morning
Reporter: Governor, how long will you continue to blame Mike Madigan for the states problems?
Gov. Rauner: Til hes gone. I mean, I mean, hes been in charge for 35 years. The guys become a millionaire off of high property taxes in this state. Its not a coincidence that we have the worst property taxes in America. Hes become a millionaire by making them high, and having a tax appeals law firm on the side. And he holds businesses in Chicago hostage to use his law firm. The system is broken.
He controls, hes rigged his primary. He has rigged his Democratic primary. He has rigged it, ladies and gentlemen. If you guys wont report it, shame on you. He has rigged the system, he controls it. Its a Mafia protection racket. And until hes gone, we arent going to fix Illinois and we arent going to have a good future.
Reporter: So, who do you think his candidate for governor is?
Rauner: [Laughs] Oh, cmon. You know what? If you guys are asking that question youre playing games and youre not reporting the truth to the people of Illinois. Youd better answer that question yourself. Youve been around, you know the answer to that question.
