Mendoza: Rauner has a right to work…”someplace else”   

By Bill Cameron, WLS-AM News

(CHICAGO)  In the race for governor, opponents are ganging up on Bruce Rauner today.

No less than three press events dumped on Rauner.

One about his handling of the deadly Legionaries disease at the Quincy Veterans Home, another about him equating the undocumented with crime and  a third claiming he’s breaking the law by not paying state workers their step increases, which the governor’s office denies.

State Comptroller Susana Mendoza was at that last one saying that the state will have pay 7% late payment interest on those step increases, and she added this about Rauner, “This is just his personal grievance with state employees. It’s his obsession with right-to-work, and ya know, I think the governor has a right to work, just someplace else!”

Meantime, reports are circulating behind the scenes that Mendoza is telling allies she’s planning to run for mayor after she gets re-elected as comptroller.
