Emanuel rips Rauner over governor's criticism of Chicago tax hike
Posted October 29, 2015 11:00 pm
In an escalating war of words between two friends, Mayor Rahm Emanuel said Friday that Gov. Bruce Rauner needed to "stop name-calling and just do your job" after Rauner blasted the mayor's historic property tax increase.
Emanuel's remarks came after Rauner's office said the mayor needs to get serious about reforms or become "just another tax-and-spend politician."
Emanuel responded: "I would just say this to the governor and the governor's office: You're 120 days behind budget, six billion dollars and counting in not paying bills. Stop name-calling and just do your job."
