Texas' Governor trying to wrangle businesses from Illinois
"It's an embarrassment to have a governor from another state come to Illinois to do what Governor Rick Perry is proposing to do," said Marion Mayor Bob Butler. "He's coming here because he thinks that the business climate in Illinois is so bad and so sad, that it's like plucking ripe plums from a tree. To come to Illinois to induce businesses to go to Texas."
