We don’t use the term “lies” in this article’s title lightly. But Mr. Rauner gives us no choice.

It’s interesting that Mr. Rauner would choose to go down the 'Goodfellas" road because I’m certain I’m not the only one who immediately thought of a certain scene in that movie when the nursing home scandal came to light.

Republicans – and no resident of Illinois for that matter – can afford to wait for GTCR’s lawyers to weigh in on these extremely serious matters.

The usual suspects continue to display their small mindedness in an apparent effort to see how much they can shrink the GOP in Illinois.

The Chicago Tribune is a leading titillator when it comes to Dan Rutherford. But thus far the pro-Rauner Tribune has ignored another sexual harassment story which not only links their buddy Bruce – but also their own newspaper.

Edmund Michalowski, the person leveling accusations against State Treasurer and GOP gubernatorial hopeful Dan Rutherford, apparently “likes” Bruce Rauner.

Rauner still refuses to explain with any specificity his role and that of his former firm in the nursing home industry.

Yet another nursing home victim of the GTCR-linked THI was Juanita Jackson.

GTCR’s foray into the nursing home business might have been good for the bank accounts of Bruce Rauner and his friends. But according to court documents, some elderly residents of those nursing homes paid the ultimate price.

The fatal problem for Rauner’s gubernatorial ambitions is the irreconcilable disconnect between the way he made his money and the main theme of his campaign.
