“The reality is they like to sell newspapers”

“The reality is they like to sell newspapers,” the governor said, gesturing toward reporters as he again called for a funding solution for CTA, Metra and Pace. “They’re not interested in concrete solutions to problems for people. They just like controversy and tangents that have no relevance to the quality of life for people.”

As I mentioned yesterday, throwing away money to contracts for political insiders most certainly does affect the quality of the life of the people.  More than that, the man didn’t come up with a plan, he joined with Cross’ plan. He sat on his ass calling special sessions and whining that The Lege wasn’t doing anything.  The problem was he was threatening to veto the very solution that likely could have passed over the summer–a sales tax increase.
