A possible future candidate for governor says the state’s climbing unemployment shows why somebody like him should be a candidate.
Republican businessman Bruce Rauner says the jump in the jobless rate - up to 9.5% last month - shows that whatever is happening at the Capitol to fix the state’s economy isn’t working.
Rauner is conducting a “listening tour” around the state while he considers a run for governor. He says citizens have told him that they want someone new… not a career politician… to lead the state.
