Rauner states half of Chicago teachers are illiterate. He said half of the principles are incompetent. ONLY HALF THOUGH.

The Illinois Republican Governor of Illinois should take a lesson from Brownback's Kansas.

Chicago — The nonprofit organization run (click here) by the Democratic wife of Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner has sued the first-term Republican amid the state’s unprecedented budget impasse.

The awkward situation has raised eyebrows and drawn a few jabs about Diana Rauner’s twin roles as first lady to the state’s first GOP governor in over a decade and as a longtime social services advocate in the Democratic state.

Diana Rauner has been president of the Chicago-based Ounce of Prevention Fund since 2011. The group offers early childhood programs and is partially state-funded.

Her organization recently joined a lawsuit against Gov. Rauner and state agencies brought by social agencies working without payment for nearly a year because of the budget gridlock.

A hearing in the court case is scheduled for July 2016.
