The Governor has had four years to clean up pay-to-play politics in Illinois. He hasn't done it. The U.S. Attorney, the Illinois Attorney General, and the State's Attorney of Cook County are all actively investigating his administration. Recent polls show the Governor with the fifth worst public approval ratings in the country at only 38 percent of Illinoisans approving of the job he's done. The same polls have him losing the general election to the Republicans.

He continues to reward contributors and his lobbyist friends in ways that give Illinois a bad reputation and have attracted the investigations of the U.S. attorney. Every where I go, people say it's time for a change.
