“Nailing him will make it three for three of Il governors won’t it?”
Not quite, 2 for 2. Jim Edgar, the Republican Governor before Ryan was pretty decent. Left the state with a surplus, did some good stuff AND had a high approval rating. He wasn’t scandal-ridden. I met him briefly because I worked for the medical team at the time who was taking care of his cardiac problems. Very nice and personable, even when he didn’t feel so hot.
Don’t forget Otto Kerner, my boyhood gov of Arlington Race Track fame.
Are you austinaero because you’re from Austin? I’m originally from Oak Park.
Yeah, Edgar was a class act. I wonder if he’d run again. He’s only 62.
