Interesting talk if true. I've always thought the two of them would cooperate well. Illinois really needs the both of them to stand up to Madigan...
We are admittedly only a few weeks into Rauner's tenure, but what more can the state do for Chicago than what we already received under Quinn and Blago? Rahm pushed many signature projects forward under Quinn's capital program. I don't see a huge upgrade in funding levels coming from the state anytime soon though, just a continuation of the existing. Certainly no game-changers in terms of transit funding, schools funding, etc.
