“Even with Illinois’ ongoing budget stalemate, it wasn’t until a coalition of good government groups called for a meeting between Gov. Bruce Rauner and all four legislative leaders that they agreed to get together.
Susan Garrett chairs one of those groups, the Illinois Campaign for Political Reform.
She says she’s pleased with the result of Tuesday’s summit.
‘Well, you know, getting them together in the same room, forcing a discussion on the budget crisis, no matter what the ultimate outcome was today, having them together, speaking to each other, face to face, making eye contact has to be good,’ she said Tuesday night.”
