Even as Illinois heads toward a partial government shutdown, Governor Bruce Rauner has largely stayed out of the public eye.
If you watch TV at all, it probably doesn't seem like it's been a long time since you heard from Gov. Rauner.
He's got a campaign-style ad running statewide.
"With your help, I'm going to keep fightin' to grow our economy and fix our broken state government," Rauner said in his ad.
In Rauner’s opinion piece within the Chicago Tribune, he updated what he wants legislators to do before he'll negotiate on revenue for the state budget.
But he hasn't subjected himself to answering questions about it.
That's not to say he's gone missing completely; he stopped by the Springfield farmer's market over the weekend, and he visited a Vietnam War memorial in Jacksonville last week. He also met with reporters after tornadoes touched down in Coal City; questions then were limited to the emergency.
Otherwise, the last time Rauner set aside time to answer questions from the media was June 12. That’s more than two weeks ago
