Watch out for union influence in election

Posted March 14, 2014 12:01 am

People have historically not bothered to vote in primaries. This one is very important, since the Republican candidate for governor is being chosen. You can bet the unions will have every single member getting out to vote in the Republican primary in hopes of defeating Bruce Rauner, as the unions are scared stiff of his message.

Also, in the age old tradition of sneaky politics, there is a referendum on the ballot in Kane County to create yet another taxing body (as if we don't already have too many). Are your taxes high enough yet? Mine surely are.

It is paramount that everyone get out vote on March 18, you know the big money unions and the wannabe bureaucrats will be out there in force.
