Comptroller, AG Lisa Madigan won't OK Rauner exec order on union fees

Illinois Comptroller Leslie Munger, recently appointed by Gov. Bruce Rauner, won’t abide by his executive order setting aside “fair share” union fees without a court order.

Munger’s office raised the question of whether it’s constitutional to withhold those fees and place them in an escrow account as Rauner had ordered.

On Monday, Rauner signed an executive order regarding union fees, saying its aim was to allow state workers to avoid paying so-called “fair-share” fees if they had opted out of joining a union.

However, the governor’s executive order does not apply to other constitutional officers, according to Illinois Attorney General office chief of staff Ann Spillane.

1. Here's another juicy bit deeper in the article:

Rauner hires a lawyer to file his union busting motion but sticks them on someone else's payroll. Not unlike some of his wife's 'help.'

Expecting a legal challenge, the governor’s office filed a federal lawsuit in the U.S. Northern District of Illinois on Monday.

Rauner used an in-house counsel — Dennis Murashko — to file the legal action, but said he has tapped former U.S. Attorney Dan Webb and Webb’s Winston & Strawn law firm to fight the court battle. Webb is doing the work for free.

Murashko on Monday was deputized as a Special Assistant Attorney General to file the lawsuit. While Murashko is one of Rauner’s in-house attorneys, he is being paid from Central Management Services, according to state records.

2. Imagine that. Out of all the recent losses. This one bothered me the most. Quinn in my opinion

did a good job given the shit he was handed. His own party had it out for him. In the end I'm willing to bet some of our more corrupt Democrats prefer to work with Rauner.
