" Hey BC . . . It cost a lot more flying to your job in a leer jet than to live at the mansion. Are you the ONLY fan to this village idiot? The way you laid out your talking points, you are in sync with the other village idiots. "

" The budget crisis is as simple as Blago agreeing to sign the budgetas submitted with no changes from the govenors office. A balanced budget proposal only allows Blago the opportunity to divert funds to his pet projects and use the funds to pay off his political allies and co-conspirators. He is the last one to be trusted. Every schoold system i nthe state had to borrowadditional funds to make up for Blago not releasing the education funds in a timely manner. This directly raised the cost of education to the tax payers in extra interest and fees to run our school systems. This is just a drop in the bucket in comparison to the damage Blago caused to the state after diverting funds last year! "

" Here is the answer: CUT, CUT, CUT, CUT, CUT, CUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Smaller is better, MUCH BETTER, simple, really. "

" OODuck, I'll tell you why. It is because we have no choice and no say in the matter. Blago, Jones and Madigan all are from Chicago, just like the majority of the other Dems that control the IL Legislature. The reason we keep paying them is because we have no way of stopping their paychecks and their automatic pay increases. It is a rigged system where the Legislators win and the public loses, EVERY TIME. "

" I fail to see what the governor living in the mansion has to do with this budget mess. Not living there is a huge savings for the taxpayer since he pays for his housing and expenses out of his own salary. Again the whine about any cost cutting change. Don't save money by moving jobs, don't close a prison that cost twice per inmate than newer ones. Don't cut state jobs, don't expect multi-million dollar corporations to pay their fair share of taxes. Don't raise fees. Remember this General Assembly is the people who brought you the private plane myth. They happily climb on the daily shuttle when they need it, but it becomes the governor's private jet when he goes along. They have ridden that shuttle under previous governors for years. These bandits know the general public is too lazy, or dumb, to bother searching out the truth. I do like the locked room and bologna sandwich idea though, cut the AC while they are at it too. "

" Hey OODuck,

I agree that they are all YAHOO's and are more worried about their Ego's than getting a budget passed but stopping my paycheck and thousands of other isn't the way to go. Last year I believe we were well into August before a budget agreement was in place. I don't know about you but I certainly don't feel it's fair to be working and not get paid til August. "

" Why are we still paying these yahoos when they don't the job done? Stop all pay increases, paychecks, pension plans and whatever else they deem as expenses until they get the budget passed. "

" If this nut isn't embarrassed by now he will never be. I hope his children are well protected so they don’t have to hear what a clown their Dad is. We need to make everyone show up in Springfield, put them all in the same room, lock the door and serve them bologna sandwiches 3x’s a day until they learn to play nice and do their job. I know, but it did play out well in a dream the other night. I have an idea blago, until you reside in the mansion provided for you, you can no longer move anyone’s job. Quit this childish threatening and do your jobs. "
