POLITICS MAKES STRANGE BEDFELLOWS

In the weird and wacky world of Illinois politics...

...the Chicago Tribune takes Republicans to task for their labor union ties.

Republicans and labor unions...

...partners in crime?

Who woulda thunkit!


From the Chicago Tribune

Why did Republicans reject pension reform?


Not to forget...

That it was the "Big Three Democrats" in Illinois - Governor Pat Quinn, House Speaker Michael Madigan, Senate President John Cullerton - who defied unions in crafting SB1 which breaks the contracts negotiated with labor unions and reduces the benefits of retirees (supposedly protected by the Illinois Constitution.)

...never, ever forget, especially come election day!
