Letter to the Editor: Alumnus supports Christopher Kennedy for governor

By James Sheridan

The relentless negativity of Governor Rauner needs to be stopped.Governor Rauner has brought pain to people who don’t deserve it.

Rauner has devastated higher education in Illinois.

Rauner has nothing to show for his years in office except reckless proposals and scare tactics.

Illinoisans deserve better. Illinois has a tradition of greatness if you look for it.

Abraham Lincoln, John Peter Altgeld, and Harold Washington were legendary political leaders.

Illinoisans in other fields include: Miles Davis, Walt Disney, and Florenz Zigfeld, Jr. in entertainment.

Frank Lloyd Wright and Daniel Burnham in architecture.

Gwendolyn Brooks, Carl Sandberg, Ernest Hemmingway, Raymond Chandler, John Dos Passos, and Nelson Algren in literature.

Social Activists Jane Addams and Betty Friedan.

We need to continue the Illinois tradition of accomplishment, not Rauner’s race to the bottom.

Leave the cynicism to Rauner. Look for the good in Illinois. Work to create more good in Illinois.

Good, decent, traditional Republicans have a decision to make. Their children’s future depends on it.

Bruce Rauner and his paid sycophants will work to spread their bile; Christopher Kennedy will work to restore integrity, leadership, and ability to the office of Governor of Illinois.

Let’s make Illinois great again.
