Rauner's portrait added to 'Hall of Governors' twill
SPRINGFIELD -- Former Gov. Bruce Rauner's portrait has joined the"Hall of Governors" in the Illinois Capitol.
"The real reason that we wanted to do this, the real reason why Diana and I wanted to come and be with you is to say thank you," Rauner said."To say thank you to each and every one of you here today, to say thank you to every citizen, every voter, every child, every newcomer, every immigrant to the state of Illinois."
by signing up you agree to our terms of service Democrats, led by now-indicted former House Speaker Michael Madigan, fought staunchly against Rauner's anti-union, pro-school choice reforms and other facets of his"pro-business" 44-point"turnaround agenda."
"Today, I really don't want to talk politics and, you know, the usual stuff," he said."The one thing I will say, I am very proud of what we did while we were running the state, and I'm very proud of what we tried to do ... A lot of headwinds, but I'll leave it at that today."
Rauner took office after unseating Quinn, whose portrait now sits directly below Rauner's on the Capitol's second floor and reportedly included 44"found items" summing up his legacy. Those range from a picture of him signing a bill authorizing a minimum wage ballot referendum to a portrait of President Abraham Lincoln.
