Daley to run for governor on pension-cutting platform.
He all but formally announced his candidacy yesterday in an-all out attack on the sitting governor, claiming Squeezy didn’t do enough to cut public employee pensions.
Son of the late Boss Daley, brother of former Mayor Richie Daley and former banker-in-chief for the Obama administration, Bill Daley had endorsed the Madigan pension bomb, SB1.
He told the press:
A strong governor would have found common ground between the rival pension solutions offered by fellow Democrats, House Speaker Michael Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton, rather than leave Springfield with a stalemate. “They both had different ideas on this bill. So who’s the one who’s supposed to forge a compromise? The governor.”Cullerton’s bill was supported by the We Are One coalition – leaders of the state’s public employee unions.
