Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner on Friday replaced the longtime Illinois Gaming Board chairman with a political supporter who ran an independent expenditure committee that backed him in the November election.

So if it was us,wouldn't you want to put your buddies first if qualified?

The new GM of the Bears and every other sports boss does the same thing and their friends didn't give them money before they got their gigs.

Paving the way for a Chicago casino. Maybe the racetracks get slots after all.

Might be a tough play. I'm pretty sure Madigan is a Neil Bluhm guy.

I think Mike will trade some with Bruce as long as Lisa is in his seat by 2018.

I also love the salaries for his staffers.

The justification? "You have to pay more for good talent".

D or R after the name makes no difference.

Government jobs dont pay enough to attract top notch talent. Pay more for better talent. I like the way he has started. Tough decisions need to be made. Lots of guys marching holding signs!

Well, Illinois government must be downsized and budget cuts must happen. Run it like a business.

Pay more to staffers! That's the first step.

Maybe now they will get their mitts off the fucking Super Bowl Pools and strip cards at bowling alleys.

Fuckers shut that shit down because they say it conflicts with the poker machines - threaten to fine and pull machines if they secret shop and see pools.

Bowling alleys historically had the very best pools.

We had to move our fantasy football draft because the place we've used for 10 years had poker machines installed and they said they couldn't have another form of gambling. So fucking stupid.

Double pensions for everyone! Even though jamokes like me have to save on our own for retirement.

Nothing like putting the golden goose into a deeper coma.

As long as he kills the Illiana Expressway, I don't care - go ahead and open more casinos that will generate less and less revenue.

Are you saying that you support politicians hiring large donors as long as your fantasy pool is able to go forward at your local bowling alley?

I believe in paying more to get good people who can get shit done and manage their business. Saving a few dollars and hiring people on the cheap costs your business more in the long run.

Here's what I don't get: Rauner said they all were making more in the private sector and took pay cuts to work for him. Why? Out of the goodness of their hearts?

Some do it for that reason.

Some do it to increase business connections.

Some do it out of service for their fellow human being.

The fact is most of the top talent in every industry is in the private sector.

Rauner already is worth millions. I'm pretty sure that he doesn't really need the hassel of trying to fix our fucked up state in order to make more business contacts. I believe that he actually wants to serve snd improve our state.

I was talking about his staffers, not Rauner. I am aware of the fact that he doesn't need the money.

I hope Rauner replaces everyone who was on Quinns staff...if you pardon the expression.

I believe he's only taking $1 a year so he's paying them from what he would draw is my understanding. Could be wrong.

What do you think the governor makes?

He created a six figure position for the First Ladies executive assistant. That takes up most of the salary right there
