Letter: Cheers to Supreme Court, boos to Rauner's real agenda
If you were to listen to the rantings of some people, you would think that the Supreme Court overthrew the government of the United States. One letter writer went so far as to say that it was our country's darkest hour.
Really, get a grip. If our county's darkest hour was a week that gave every single person in the Ccountry access to health care and anyone the right to marry, then this is one fantastic country. No lives are lost, no one is hurt, and in fact lives will probably be saved due to everyone now having access to health care and all those on the right can do is complain.
Also it is getting tiring listening to those on the right try to paint Gov. Bruce Rauner as being the adult in the room during the ongoing budget negotiations.
The governor's budget was further out of whack than the one he was presented with. The issues that he is holding firm on have nothing to do with the budget process but are only intended to gut collective bargaining.
To all of you slow learners out there, these issues pertaining to collective bargaining and prevailing wage are subject to legislation, not the budget process.
The truth is plain and simple, the governor has no social conscience and is willing to inflict collateral damage on the states most vulnerable in order to serve the interests of his wealthy friends and destroy collective bargaining in the State of Illinois.
Gregg Johnson,
East Moline
