Replace 3 stooges with public servants

You can only watch The Three Stooges for a short time before the eye pokes, dope slaps, head bonks become tiresome.

That's what we have in Springfield with two Leprechauns sitting on their pots of gold doing things the same way they always have. On the other side you have a control freak who is used to doing things his way in his own company - if you don't like his way then find a job somewhere else, it's my way or the highway. Well, Illinois is not your company. Your "turnaround agenda" could have been better presented rather than dumped on everyone all at once. People tend to get a bit testy when you want to change things all at once rather than a little at a time. To be fair, the governor's union busting agenda is a bit much. There have been union problems but over all they have protected the working person from predatory big business and keep abuses down to a minimum. Having been a union member I can attest to this.

But the Leprechauns have to understand that Chicago is not the only place in Illinois. When down south one can hear the sucking sounds of all the money going up north.

Both sides need to change and the governor needs to use a little psychology and change his methods. The State of Illinois does not work for him and no one except his staff has to do what he says. Three Stooges go home, public servants are needed.
