Compare records of financial managers

Posted July 10, 2015 1:00 am

The Chicago Cubs organization retained the services of Theo Epstein because he showed he is able to put together a team of players who can win. The Cubs hired Joe Maddon as manager because he knows how to motivate players to win ballgames. Gov. Bruce Rauner has clearly demonstrated his ability to earn, save, and manage a dollar, and he has accomplished this at least 100 million times.

Sadly, his opposition has a dismal history in the won-lost column of managing the dollars of citizens of the state of Illinois, and they have the audacity to want to perpetuate their losing ways.

With Rauner having a desk in the front office and frequenting the dugout, we can win this thing.

By the way, I have been a loyal fan of the Chicago White Sox for 73 of the 79 years I have lived on Mother Earth.
