899 WLS John Lourd, back with Senator Kirk-Dill, joining us in the studio taking your calls as he's in the GOP race for governor. So let's get right to Rachel and Mayward. Good morning, R&D 999 WLS. How am I going to be in the... It's going to be jam at the end of the term that will be close to 20 years. You know, I'm term limiting myself as is my running mate, Jill Tracy, by running for governor. I have a two-year term we're done. Because we feel we've got to be the governor and the lieutenant governor to be able to do what we need to do. And I've always supported term limits for legislative leaders. I voted for recall of public officials. I don't have a problem with term limits. The devil is in the details, although I will tell you Mr. Rowners plan, according to Professor Mooney from the University of Illinois Political Science Department, decimates and delutes the strength of Downstate Illinois. But I will also tell you once I was governor Edgers, Chief of Staff, and when I finished that term, Mike Madigan became the minority leader, because our unemployment rate was below the national average. We had a surplus in the state budget, and you can make Mike Madigan the minority leader without term limits. Jim Edgar and I proved that that could happen. And lean annuals became the speaker of the house for a while, a Republican from Elmer's. But I don't have a problem with term limits. If you bring up Stuart Lomine, right, as the mastermind, and the varying degrees, the tribunes dismisses it, dismisses that story, crane supports it. The fact is that Stuart Lomine was just one part of the larger cog of Big Bill Salini, the Republican, the boss, the shadow player of the combine, who directed all this stuff, and who was Edgar, you know, when you were chief of staff, not that you were the governor then, but he would call Edgar, and your, you know, wrote a letter saying, Bill, please give him mercy, give him mercy, Judge, you shouldn't have done that. He should have done it. Maybe you would have advised them, or not, but the fact is that you also, you have either a personal or a working relationship with a man, you have done with him. So should you be accused and would paint it with that same kind of brush? I have no relationship with Stuart Lomine. Don't know him. But Mr. Salini, John, I'll show you a story written by the Chicago Sun Times that said the only time that he was rebuffed repeatedly was during the administration, and during my time period, I'll show you the quotes where I tubes things that he wanted to do. I'm just saying it's how you, you know, with Stuart Lomine and Mr. Rowner, you know, put Stuart Lomine aside. You got Ed Rendell, the Democrat governor of Pennsylvania, the head of the Democratic National Committee at the time. Mr. Rowner gave several hundred thousand dollars to him, had his work doubled by the Pennsylvania. Three hundred thousand. So three hundred thousand. That's three hundred, at least it in my vernacular, even if I can't pronounce Illinois proper. I'm the victim expert. Our last quote, I wanted some more specifics. Yes, in more words. Thank you. And you report I read recently about your economic plan, which I hadn't heard before, specifically tax credits created for high paying jobs. So can you just tell our listeners some of those specifics? Please. I had a press conference and I've had four years of plan to make Illinois a destination economy for job creation. Anybody can go to KirkDollard.com. Look at my plan. I'm the only candidate that has a written plan on job creation in the state of Illinois. It is a multi-faceted approach where over tax were over regulated. My running mate, Jill Tracy, who's family started company out of the back of a station wagon called Dot Foods, which now employs two thousand people in Southwestern Illinois. I chose her because she's going to be my partner in economic development. One of the things I want her to do more and this plan is huge. But one of the things I want her to do is be known as the repealer in state government. And Jill's going to travel this state and meet with businesses, small and large, to figure out what superfluous regulations, stifled economic development. That's one of about 25 pages of ideas on how I have the stimulator economy. I was the sponsor of the law that brought Boeing Corporation from Seattle, the Chicago, and I helped bring Navistar from Indiana. Mitch Daniels, Indiana, back to my area, Lyle and Naperville. Well, back the income tax? The income tax, I didn't vote for it to begin with Lauren. One of the things that makes Illinois attractive is a low flat and I underline flat income tax. We need to top the bottom overhaul of our archaic and unfair tax system. Which is nail-out Chicago. Every candidate can answer this question. Chicago needs money or cents. It needs money for the pension deal. Will you say yes or no, is Chicago going to be bailed out if the current bill is government? Why don't bail out anyone? I will help mayor a man who will solve his problems in the city of Chicago. Does any revenue from the suburbs? You know, that's one of the things that differentiates myself from the rest of the candidates. I mean, you know, John, I have told Mayor Daly, no, I've told Mike Manigan, no, I did that. I was my job as Governor Edgar's Chief of Staff. And I don't vacation with around me. I know I have a good relationship with professional and with them. But I can tell them no. But nobody's going to get bailed out. I'm going to be a governor like Solomon, that's for all of Illinois. Senator Kertelig, thanks so much for coming in and joining us. We appreciate it. Thanks, Lauren. It's always fun. Thank you, John, for keeping me on like toes as always. Correct. Thank you for telling me how to pronounce Illinois because I'm the expert in terms of dictionaries. Thank you. Thank you.
