After Veterans Home Cover Up Is Rauner The State S Most Secretive Schmuck

In the heated race to see who can be the state’s most secretive schmuck, Governor Rauner made moves last week to challenge his old pal Mayor Rahm.

              FOIA is the acronym for a state law that supposedly obligates public figures—even mighty ones, like Rauner and Rahm—to release public documents.

     Slick move, Mr. Mayor—that’s why you’re the reigning king of FOIA schmucks. Though, as we can see, Rauner is gaining fast.

     Turns out WBEZ had previously obtained some of the same e-mails from the health department in Adams County, where the Quincy home is located.

     I’m not surprised that Rauner was so contemptuously unresponsive to the legislators’ FOIA request. 

  One, it’s sort of reassuring to know Rauner’s as devious with lawmakers as he is with Reader and other reporters. At least he’s not playing favorites.
