Opinion: Rauner crusade deters Illinois job growth

Why does the governor of Illinois say he wants jobs and prosperity and then do everything he can to prevent it?

Gov. Bruce Rauner has become the main agent of economic harm to the state. He has steered the state back toward fiscal calamity by not engaging with legislative Democrats in a spending compromise, causing a growing toll of human suffering. It’s all sending a terrible message to private enterprise. When looking to invest somewhere, companies care if a place can govern itself with policies that appear sane.

Last week, there was Rauner again, in oblivious majesty, strangely presenting a state budget for the next fiscal year when he can’t get one for the current fiscal year. He hit on the themes he’s known for — the state’s bad financial shape, the high cost of its bureaucracy and the need for reform ahead of new revenue.
