What does Bruce Rauner really think of Downstate Illinois? Listen to him talk about our area and our workers during a recent Chicago radio interview: “Champaign-Urbana is wonderful. But its very hard to keep a company of more than six people there. There’s no convenient transportation, not much of a workforce, and its very hard” “As you might imagine, folks around here weren’t too thrilled with those remarks.” Bruce Rauner - Four years of failure is enough.
