“SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Gov. Bruce Rauner’s state-paid scheduler set up a May 2015 meeting at the Executive Mansion with a former business partner who claims in a lawsuit they discussed a personal business deal, calling into question Wednesday the Republican’s claims that he ended his day-to-day business dealings when he became governor three years ago.

Rauner’s official calendar, obtained by The Associated Press under the Freedom of Information Act, shows a 5 p.m. appointment on May 11, 2015, at the governor’s mansion in Springfield.
That’s one of the days that Harreld “Kip” Kirkpatrick’s lawsuit claims he discussed with Rauner a settlement over a business investment made before Rauner took office. The calendar shows no indication of a meeting on the second date, Sept. 15, 2015.”
