00:01:05,166 --> 00:01:09,700
AND DURING THE TIME THERE IN MY

42
00:01:07,266 --> 00:01:11,766
ADULT LIFE I WAS A CLASSROOM

43
00:01:09,366 --> 00:01:13,600
TEACHER.

44
00:01:09,700 --> 00:01:15,700
I TAUGHT CAREER AND TECHNICAL

PRODUCTIVE LIVES.

49
00:01:19,566 --> 00:01:26,400
THE LAST 10 YEARS OF MY LIFE,

50
00:01:21,733 --> 00:01:28,233
I'VE BEEN A REGIONAL

51
00:01:25,300 --> 00:01:30,633
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS.

52
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:33,633
I HAVE 13 SCHOOL DISTRICTS ABOUT

00:01:30,633 --> 00:01:37,833
DUTIES IS I MANAGE A SAFE SCHOOL

55

TO DEAL WITH AT RISK YOUTH.

56
00:01:36,233 --> 00:01:42,766
PROFESSIONALLY THAT IS WHAT MY

57
00:01:37,833 --> 00:01:44,733
CURRENT STATUS IS.

58
00:01:39,300 --> 00:01:45,066
I'M MARRIED IN MY 25TH YEAR OF

SUPPORTIVE FAMILY WHICH ENABLES

64
00:01:52,233 --> 00:01:55,400
ME TO DO THIS.

65
00:01:52,700 --> 00:01:56,400
>> AND THIS IS NOT THE FIRST

66
00:01:53,666 --> 00:01:58,833
TIME THAT YOU'VE TRIED TO MAKE

67
00:01:55,400 --> 00:02:01,900
IT TO SPRINGFIELD.

68
00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:03,466
YOU HAVE RUN FOR LEGISLATOR,

69
00:01:58,833 --> 00:02:05,366
THREE TIMES AND LOST.

70
00:02:01,900 --> 00:02:09,333
IN 92, 94 AND 98.

71
00:02:03,466 --> 00:02:11,033
WHY DO YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN

72
00:02:05,366 --> 00:02:12,833
MAKE IT THIS TIME TO THE HIGHEST

73
00:02:09,333 --> 00:02:14,433
SEAT IN ILLINOIS GOVERNMENT?

74
00:02:11,033 --> 00:02:16,633
>> WELL, I LEARNED A LOT IN

75
00:02:12,833 --> 00:02:19,700
THOSE THREE RACES THAT PREPARED

76
00:02:14,433 --> 00:02:20,133
ME FOR THIS CHALLENGE.

77
00:02:16,633 --> 00:02:22,133
AND DEVELOPED A LOT OF POLITICAL

78
00:02:19,700 --> 00:02:25,000
RELATIONSHIPS.

79
00:02:20,133 --> 00:02:27,900
AND WHEN I WON IN 2002 TO THE

80
00:02:22,133 --> 00:02:29,433
COUNTY BOARD A WISE MAN SAID IN

81
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,733
A COFFEE SHOP HE GOES ALL THE

82
00:02:27,900 --> 00:02:32,000
GUYS FORGOT YOU LOST THREE

83
00:02:29,433 --> 00:02:33,300
RACES.

84
00:02:29,733 --> 00:02:36,133
WE DON'T LOOK AT OUR LOSSES BUT

85
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:38,966
THE SUCCESS WE HAVE HAD AND THE

86
00:02:33,300 --> 00:02:40,333
NUMBER OF RACES THAT WE'VE WON.

87
00:02:36,133 --> 00:02:42,900
AND I'VE BUILT A STRONG

88
00:02:38,966 --> 00:02:44,566
CONTINGENCY IN MY REGION AND

89
00:02:40,333 --> 00:02:48,066
WORKING TO BUILD IT STATE-WIDE.

90
00:02:42,900 --> 00:02:48,366
I WAS ELECTED TO BE PRESIDENT OF

91
00:02:44,566 --> 00:02:50,700
THE REGIONAL SUPERINTENDENTS IN

92
00:02:48,066 --> 00:02:52,166
2010.

93
00:02:48,366 --> 00:02:53,600
AND I HAVE A NETWORK STATE-WIDE

94
00:02:50,700 --> 00:02:56,700
THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE ASSISTING

95
00:02:52,166 --> 00:02:59,566
ME IN MY CAMPAIGN.

96
00:02:53,600 --> 00:03:01,033
AND SO WE SEE A PATHWAY TO

97
00:02:56,700 --> 00:03:01,500
VICTORY HERE FOR OURSELVES AS WE

98
00:02:59,566 --> 00:03:03,300
CONTINUE TO BUILD OUR VOLUNTEER

99
00:03:01,033 --> 00:03:04,566
BASE.

100
00:03:01,500 --> 00:03:06,633
>> WHAT HAS PREPARED YOU TO

101
00:03:03,300 --> 00:03:09,166
BECOME GOVERNOR OF THIS STATE,

102
00:03:04,566 --> 00:03:09,900
ESPECIALLY AT THIS TIME, WHEN

103
00:03:06,633 --> 00:03:11,866
IT'S IN SUCH DIRE FISCAL

104
00:03:09,166 --> 00:03:13,500
STRAITS?

105
00:03:09,900 --> 00:03:15,766
>> WELL, IN THE TIME IN WHICH I

106
00:03:11,866 --> 00:03:18,133
WAS A CLASSROOM TEACHER, I ALSO

107
00:03:13,500 --> 00:03:19,933
SERVED AS A VILLAGE TRUSTEE AND

108
00:03:15,766 --> 00:03:22,200
SERVED AS A TOWNSHIP SUPERVISOR

109
00:03:18,133 --> 00:03:23,433
AND SERVED AS A COUNTY BOARD

110
00:03:19,933 --> 00:03:25,766
MEMBER AND SERVED COUNTY-WIDE AS

111
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:26,066
AN ELECTED OFFICIAL.

112
00:03:23,433 --> 00:03:27,866
AND EACH OF THOSE CAP YOUTIES

113
00:03:25,766 --> 00:03:28,233
YOU --

114
00:03:26,066 --> 00:03:30,200
CAP I IT IS YOU LEARN ABOUT

115
00:03:27,866 --> 00:03:32,333
GOVERNING.

116
00:03:28,233 --> 00:03:34,500
AND GOVERNING IS AN ART AND PART

117
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:37,366
OF THAT IS TO COLLABORATE WITH

118
00:03:32,333 --> 00:03:39,733
PEOPLE AND UNDERSTAND COMPROMISE

119
00:03:34,500 --> 00:03:40,700
AND UNDERSTAND YOU KNOW, HOW YOU

120
00:03:37,366 --> 00:03:41,166
PRESENT INFORMATION TO

121
00:03:39,733 --> 00:03:43,200
INDIVIDUALS THAT THEY FIND

122
00:03:40,700 --> 00:03:44,833
ACCEPTABLE.

123
00:03:41,166 --> 00:03:46,166
THAT, I THINK, IS A KEY THING

124
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:47,366
THAT A GOVERNOR IN A STATE HAS

125
00:03:44,833 --> 00:03:49,433
TO HAVE.

126
00:03:46,166 --> 00:03:52,300
ADDITIONALLY WHEN YOU ARE

127
00:03:47,366 --> 00:03:53,466
INVOLVED IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT,

128
00:03:49,433 --> 00:03:55,166
YOU BECOME THE DIGESTIVE PART OF

129
00:03:52,300 --> 00:03:56,200
THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS.

130
00:03:53,466 --> 00:03:57,266
YOU UNDERSTAND HOW THAT

131
00:03:55,166 --> 00:03:59,200
LEGISLATION AFFECTS LOCAL

132
00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:01,400
PEOPLE.

133
00:03:57,266 --> 00:04:03,266
YOU UNDERSTAND THE IMPACT THAT

134
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:04,766
IT HAS WHEN A GOVERNOR WOULD

135
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:07,666
VETO A PIECE OF LEGISLATION THAT

136
00:04:03,266 --> 00:04:09,700
MAY BENEFIT RESIDENTS.

137
00:04:04,766 --> 00:04:12,833
SO THOSE ARE SOME WAYS IN WHICH

138
00:04:07,666 --> 00:04:13,633
I'VE PREPARED MYSELF AND WHY I

139
00:04:09,700 --> 00:04:14,300
BELIEVE MY PARTICULAR SKILLS

140
00:04:12,833 --> 00:04:16,266
WOULD BE VERY GOOD FOR THE STATE

141
00:04:13,633 --> 00:04:18,066
AT THIS TIME.

142
00:04:14,300 --> 00:04:20,100
>> WHAT WOULD YOU DO TO START

143
00:04:16,266 --> 00:04:21,566
TACKLING THE FISCAL PROBLEMS?

144
00:04:18,066 --> 00:04:22,533
>> WELL, THE FIRST THING IS

145
00:04:20,100 --> 00:04:24,333
IMMEDIATELY WE HAVE TO BRING

146
00:04:21,566 --> 00:04:25,600
STABILITY TO THE STATE.

147
00:04:22,533 --> 00:04:28,133
WE HAVE A FINITE AMOUNT OF

148
00:04:24,333 --> 00:04:30,633
REVENUE AND WE HAVE A REVENUE

149
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:32,700
PROBLEM IN THE STATE.

150
00:04:28,133 --> 00:04:32,966
BUT THE $10 BILLION OF BACKLOGS

151
00:04:30,633 --> 00:04:35,500
OF BILLS NEED TO BE TAKEN CARE

152
00:04:32,700 --> 00:04:37,633
OF.

153
00:04:32,966 --> 00:04:37,933
AND WE NEED TO LOOK AT AN AVENUE

154
00:04:35,500 --> 00:04:40,000
IN WHICH THESE COULD BE BONDED

155
00:04:37,633 --> 00:04:41,766
OUT.

156
00:04:37,933 --> 00:04:43,533
AND BOND OUT THE DEBT.

157
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:44,533
TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF INTEREST

158
00:04:41,766 --> 00:04:46,566
THAT TAXPAYERS ARE PAYING DAILY

159
00:04:43,533 --> 00:04:48,633
IN THE STATE.

160
00:04:44,533 --> 00:04:50,866
WE ARE PAYING $10 MILLION A DAY

161
00:04:46,566 --> 00:04:53,966
OF INTEREST.

162
00:04:48,633 --> 00:04:56,166
YOU MULTIPLY THAT BY 365 DAYS IN

163
00:04:50,866 --> 00:04:58,600
A YEAR AND YOU CAN SEE THAT WE

164
00:04:53,966 --> 00:04:59,766
ARE LITERALLY WASTING TAXPAYERS

165
00:04:56,166 --> 00:05:01,000
MONEY ON INTEREST.

166
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,766
>> ISN'T BOND TO GO OUT KICKING

167
00:04:59,766 --> 00:05:04,433
THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD?

168
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:06,633
>> IT IS FOR A PERIOD OF TIME

169
00:05:02,766 --> 00:05:08,133
UNTIL YOU GENERATE ENOUGH

170
00:05:04,433 --> 00:05:08,400
REVENUE AND YOU DO OTHER

171
00:05:06,633 --> 00:05:10,366
EFFICIENCIES TO PAY THE DEBT

172
00:05:08,133 --> 00:05:12,066
OFF.

173
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:13,866
THERE IS NO IMMEDIATE SHORT FIX

174
00:05:10,366 --> 00:05:17,133
TO THIS DEBT.

175
00:05:12,066 --> 00:05:17,466
BUT, I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO LOOK

176
00:05:13,866 --> 00:05:18,766
AT A RESTRUCTURING OUR TAX

177
00:05:17,133 --> 00:05:20,700
SYSTEM.

178
00:05:17,466 --> 00:05:22,733
AND LOOK AT A PROGRESSIVE INCOME

179
00:05:18,766 --> 00:05:25,900
TAX WE ARE ONE OF FOUR STATES

180
00:05:20,700 --> 00:05:26,433
THAT HAVE A FLAT TAX.

181
00:05:22,733 --> 00:05:28,500
AND OUR TAXATION SYSTEM IS NOT

182
00:05:25,900 --> 00:05:30,100
WORKING.

183
00:05:26,433 --> 00:05:30,400
>> A PROGRESSIVE TAX PUTS MORE

184
00:05:28,500 --> 00:05:33,000
BURDEN ON THE WEALTHIER IN THE

185
00:05:30,100 --> 00:05:34,533
STATE.

186
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:35,833
BUT DOES EVERYONE HAVE TO PAY

187
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,866
MORE IN ORDER TO GET OUT OF THIS

188
00:05:34,533 --> 00:05:39,400
MESS?

189
00:05:35,833 --> 00:05:42,600
>> WELL, I BELIEVE THERE'S GOING

190
00:05:36,866 --> 00:05:44,033
TO HAVE TO BE A SHORT-TERM

191
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:44,333
REVENUE FIX FOR THIS UNTIL THAT

192
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,433
PROGRESSIVE TAX CAN BE PUT INTO

193
00:05:44,033 --> 00:05:48,066
PLACE.

194
00:05:44,333 --> 00:05:51,766
>> WHAT IS THAT?

195
00:05:45,433 --> 00:05:53,666
>> RETURNING TO 5% INCOME TAX.

196
00:05:48,066 --> 00:05:54,800
>> THE INCOME TAX THAT WAS --

197
00:05:51,766 --> 00:05:55,233
THAT GOVERNOR QUINN AND THE

198
00:05:53,666 --> 00:05:56,466
LEGISLATURE ENACTED?

199
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,833
>> RIGHT.

200
00:05:55,233 --> 00:06:02,066
I THINK YOU CAN SEE WHAT

201
00:05:56,466 --> 00:06:04,900
HAPPENED WHEN THAT WENT AWAY.

202
00:05:58,833 --> 00:06:06,666
OUR DEFICIT HAS INCREASED FROM

203
00:06:02,066 --> 00:06:09,400
ABOUT 3.5 BILLION UP TO NEAR 11

204
00:06:04,900 --> 00:06:11,200
BILLION TODAY.

205
00:06:06,666 --> 00:06:12,933
AND THAT IS ASTRONOMICAL.

206
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:14,733
IN TWO-AND-A-HALF YEARS TIME.

207
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:16,666
>> AS SOMEONE WHO WILL

208
00:06:12,933 --> 00:06:18,266
EVENTUALLY GET A PUBLIC PENSION

209
00:06:14,733 --> 00:06:20,566
BECAUSE OF YOUR WORK NOT ONLY AS

210
00:06:16,666 --> 00:06:22,533
A SCHOOLTEACHER AND NOW AS THE

211
00:06:18,266 --> 00:06:23,133
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS, WHAT

212
00:06:20,566 --> 00:06:25,433
DO YOU FAVOR IN TERMS OF PENSION

213
00:06:22,533 --> 00:06:28,266
REFORM?

214
00:06:23,133 --> 00:06:29,366
>> I BELIEVED THIS IN PENSION

215
00:06:25,433 --> 00:06:31,400
REFORM THAT YOU SHOULD GET ONE

216
00:06:28,266 --> 00:06:33,166
PENSION FREE.

217
00:06:29,366 --> 00:06:35,366
PEOPLE WITH MULTIPLE PENSIONS

218
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:38,533
SHOULD PAY INTO THE SYSTEM AND

219
00:06:33,166 --> 00:06:39,033
PAY INTO SOME FORM OF A SHARE

220
00:06:35,366 --> 00:06:40,833
THAT HELPS THOSE PENSION

221
00:06:38,533 --> 00:06:41,766
SYSTEMS.

222
00:06:39,033 --> 00:06:43,966
BUT I BELIEVE EVERYBODY GETS ONE

223
00:06:40,833 --> 00:06:46,066
PENSION FREE.

224
00:06:41,766 --> 00:06:47,666
I'M COMPLETELY IN REGARDS TO

225
00:06:43,966 --> 00:06:49,300
PENSION ABUSE, I THINK WE HAVE

226
00:06:46,066 --> 00:06:51,733
TO REVIEW PEOPLE WHO ARE ABUSING

227
00:06:47,666 --> 00:06:54,300
THE PENSION SYSTEM.

228
00:06:49,300 --> 00:06:58,600
WE HAVE TO SUPPORT THE PENSION

229
00:06:51,733 --> 00:06:58,900
SYSTEM TO MAKE IT WHOLE.

230
00:06:54,300 --> 00:07:00,466
AND MAKE SURE PEOPLE ARE PAID ON

231
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,766
TIME.

232
00:06:58,900 --> 00:07:02,933
>> DO YOU FAVOR CONSTITUTIONAL

233
00:07:00,466 --> 00:07:05,066
CHANGES TO THE PENSION SYSTEM IN

234
00:07:01,766 --> 00:07:06,700
THE STATE?

235
00:07:02,933 --> 00:07:08,366
>> WELL, I THINK THE ONE THAT WE

236
00:07:05,066 --> 00:07:10,300
PERHAPS NEED TO LOOK AT IS

237
00:07:06,700 --> 00:07:14,333
PARTIALLY DEALS WITH THE PART

238
00:07:08,366 --> 00:07:15,933
THAT PAYERS PAY IN.

239
00:07:10,300 --> 00:07:19,200
THOSE LIKE MYSELF WHO ARE

240
00:07:14,333 --> 00:07:20,433
PARTICIPATING AND WHAT PORTION

241
00:07:15,933 --> 00:07:22,933
OF THAT SHOULD THEY PAY AND WHAT

242
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:23,433
PORTION SHOULD THE STATE PAY

243
00:07:20,433 --> 00:07:24,300
BECAUSE I THINK THAT IS WHERE WE

244
00:07:22,933 --> 00:07:25,900
ARE IN TROUBLE.

245
00:07:23,433 --> 00:07:26,500
>> AND YOU HAVE A FAMILY FARM IN

246
00:07:24,300 --> 00:07:28,800
YOUR FAMILY FOR FOUR

247
00:07:25,900 --> 00:07:30,800
GENERATIONS.

248
00:07:26,500 --> 00:07:32,500
AND AGRICULTURE IS STILL A

249
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:33,333
VIABLE INDUSTRY IN THIS STATE?

250
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:35,566
>> THAT IS CORRECT.

251
00:07:32,500 --> 00:07:37,766
>> IS THAT SOMETHING THAT NEEDS

252
00:07:33,333 --> 00:07:39,266
TO BE EXPANDED UPON IN ORDER TO

253
00:07:35,566 --> 00:07:40,533
SHORE UP ILLINOIS' FINANCES?

254
00:07:37,766 --> 00:07:42,600
>> I THINK EACH AND EVERY YEAR

255
00:07:39,266 --> 00:07:44,266
AGRICULTURE BRINGS A GREAT DEAL

256
00:07:40,533 --> 00:07:46,166
OF NEW REVENUE TO THE STATE.

257
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:47,500
IT'S THE SOMEWHAT OF AN ECONOMIC

258
00:07:44,266 --> 00:07:50,933
ENGINE FOR THE STATE.

259
00:07:46,166 --> 00:07:52,100
IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO

260
00:07:47,500 --> 00:07:53,500
CONTINUE TO MARKET AND IT IS A

261
00:07:50,933 --> 00:07:55,133
KEY PART OF THE ILLINOIS

262
00:07:52,100 --> 00:07:56,533
MARKETING PLAN THAT I WILL

263
00:07:53,500 --> 00:07:59,000
PROMOTE TO SUPPORT ILLINOIS

264
00:07:55,133 --> 00:08:00,833
FARMERS AND SUPPORT ALL THE

265
00:07:56,533 --> 00:08:02,133
RELATED BUSINESSES IN ILLINOIS

266
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:04,700
THAT RELY UPON ILLINOIS BEING A

267
00:08:00,833 --> 00:08:06,366
RICH AGRICULTURAL STATE.

268
00:08:02,133 --> 00:08:08,666
>> YOU STILL OWN YOURS AND OTHER

269
00:08:04,700 --> 00:08:10,966
FARMERS STILL OWN THEIR FAMILY

270
00:08:06,366 --> 00:08:12,666
PLOTS BUT HAVEN'T A LOT BEEN

271
00:08:08,666 --> 00:08:14,566
BOUGHT UP BY BIG CORPORATIONS?

272
00:08:10,966 --> 00:08:14,900
>> EACH GENERATION AS

273
00:08:12,666 --> 00:08:17,700
INDIVIDUALS RETIRE, YES, YOU ARE

274
00:08:14,566 --> 00:08:19,200
CORRECT.

275
00:08:14,900 --> 00:08:20,733
I HAVE A SLOGAN I TELL MY BOYS.

276
00:08:17,700 --> 00:08:21,033
DO NOT SELL GRANDPA'S FARM

277
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,900
BECAUSE YOU WILL NEVER GET IT

278
00:08:20,733 --> 00:08:24,066
BACK.

279
00:08:21,033 --> 00:08:25,866
YOU KNOW, AGRICULTURAL LAND

280
00:08:22,900 --> 00:08:29,000
CONTINUES TO INCREASE IN VALUE

281
00:08:24,066 --> 00:08:30,000
IN THIS STATE.

282
00:08:25,866 --> 00:08:32,100
UPWARDS NOW TO $15,000 AN ACRE

283
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:34,200
IN SOME PARTS.

284
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:35,966
SO IT'S VERY TEMPTING TO LET GO

285
00:08:32,100 --> 00:08:37,366
OF IT BUT THE REVENUE FROM

286
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:39,233
AGRICULTURE IS STILL PROFITABLE

287
00:08:35,966 --> 00:08:41,533
AND MANY FAMILIES WISH TO HOLD

288
00:08:37,366 --> 00:08:43,933
ON TO THE HOMESTEADS.

289
00:08:39,233 --> 00:08:44,233
>> YOU ARE A DEMOCRAT IN WHAT IS

290
00:08:41,533 --> 00:08:46,500
LARGELY A REPUBLICAN AREA OF THE

291
00:08:43,933 --> 00:08:46,800
STATE.

292
00:08:44,233 --> 00:08:48,166
YOU ARE NOT A KNOWN GUARANTEE

293
00:08:46,500 --> 00:08:50,766
HERE.

294
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:51,133
YOU ARE AGAINST BILLIONAIRES

295
00:08:48,166 --> 00:08:54,000
THAT ARE RUNNING INCLUDING THE

296
00:08:50,766 --> 00:08:55,200
INCUMBENT.

297
00:08:51,133 --> 00:08:57,366
HOW DO YOU PLAN TO MAKE INROADS

298
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:59,633
NOT ONLY IN YOUR PART OF THE

299
00:08:55,200 --> 00:09:00,333
STATE AS A DEMOCRAT BUT IN THESE

300
00:08:57,366 --> 00:09:01,933
PARTS AND AGAINST THESE WEALTHY

301
00:08:59,633 --> 00:09:03,000
CANDIDATES?

302
00:09:00,333 --> 00:09:04,300
>> WE CAMPAIGN EVERYDAY.

303
00:09:01,933 --> 00:09:06,100
THAT IS WHAT WE DO.

304
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,466
WE CAMPAIGN EVERYDAY.

305
00:09:04,300 --> 00:09:08,966
WE CONTINUE TO INTRODUCE

306
00:09:06,100 --> 00:09:11,366
OURSELVES.

307
00:09:06,466 --> 00:09:11,866
WE STAY FOCUSED ON THE ISSUES

308
00:09:08,966 --> 00:09:13,233
THAT WE WANT TO SHARE WITH

309
00:09:11,366 --> 00:09:14,633
CONSTITUENTS.

310
00:09:11,866 --> 00:09:16,200
AND CONTINUE TO BUILD OUR

311
00:09:13,233 --> 00:09:19,033
VOLUNTEER BASE.

312
00:09:14,633 --> 00:09:19,333
>> BUT AGAIN YOU ARE UP AGAINST

313
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:23,100
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN CAMPAIGN

314
00:09:19,033 --> 00:09:24,266
MONEY.

315
00:09:19,333 --> 00:09:27,233
JB PRITZKER PUT A LOT OF MONEY

316
00:09:23,100 --> 00:09:29,533
INTO HIS FUND AND THE GOVERNOR

317
00:09:24,266 --> 00:09:30,233
PUT IN $25 MILLION.

318
00:09:27,233 --> 00:09:31,533
AT LAST COUNT YOU HAD ABOUT

319
00:09:29,533 --> 00:09:31,900
$37,000 IN YOUR FUND.

320
00:09:30,233 --> 00:09:34,000
DO YOU THINK THAT YOU CAN

321
00:09:31,533 --> 00:09:35,666
COMPETE?

322
00:09:31,900 --> 00:09:36,466
>> I THINK THEY WILL SPEND A LOT

323
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:38,133
OF MONEY TO BE AN EVERYDAY GUY

324
00:09:35,666 --> 00:09:38,433
LIKE ME.

325
00:09:36,466 --> 00:09:39,300
>> BOB DAIBER NICE TO HAVE YOU
