| Description | In Illinois there are a multitude of pathways to the governorship, none alike.
Bruce Rauner spent $75 million. Pat Quinn was the lieutenant governor when the governor was impeached. Rod Blagojevich married Dick Mell’s daughter. Jim Thompson put a bunch of corrupt politicians in jail. Dan Walker donned a red bandanna and walked the length of Illinois. Both Jim Edgar and George Ryan spent 8 years each in the unglamorous job of secretary of state.
As 2018 approaches, the Democratic frontrunner to oppose Rauner is Lisa Madigan, who has an uncluttered pathway because she is the daughter of Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan and the state attorney general.
Now along comes state Senator Dan Kotowski (D-28), age 48, of Park Ridge, whose pathway entails resigning his Illinois Senate seat effective Oct. 5 and becoming the chief executive officer of ChildServ, a nonprofit entity that provides counseling and intervention for families. Say what? ChildServ to governor? Is he delusionary? |
