Questionable Rauner

Here’s something from Governor Quinn from a few days back:

Steve, Yesterday, the Chicago Sun-Times reported that yet another of billionaire Bruce Rauner’s firms is tangled up in allegations of fraud. GTCR, the private-equity firm that Rauner co-founded, has been accused of running a “deliberate campaign to conceal the truth” when it sold a healthcare company – APS Healthcare – for a whopping $230 million. Within four months of the sale, projected revenues had fallen a shocking 90 percent. Rauner’s firm walked away with millions, and left the new owners with broken promises and a failing business. Now Bruce Rauner is trying to sell voters on his business resume – despite the fact it includes one firm that committed some of the worst corporate fraud in history, another taken over by federal regulators in 2012, and now this. These shady dealings have made Bruce Rauner quite a bit of money – and he’s using that vast personal wealth to try and buy the keys to the Executive Mansion. Chip in $10 or more today to make sure Illinois doesn’t suffer the same fate as Bruce’s businesses. It’s becoming increasingly clear that Rauner’s leadership style has brought him great personal gain at the expense of others – yet he is still claiming that he wants to “run Illinois like a business.” But when you start to look at his record in business, that notion is downright terrifying. That’s what’s at stake in this election – donate $10 or more to make sure Rauner never gets the chance to bring his particular brand of business to Illinois: QuinnforIllinois.com/Contribute Thanks, Izabela Izabela Miltko Deputy Press Secretary Quinn for Illinois
