(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Illinois Republican Party holds its annual “Governor’s Dinner” fundraiser Thursday night to pay tribute to Gov. Bruce Rauner, the state GOP’s leader and biggest donor. Tickets for the event at the Hilton Chicago range from $500 per person all the way up to a special $40,000 “gold” sponsorship. Included is a private reception and photo opportunity with dinner following afterward. All of the top Illinois Republican officials are co-chairing the event, along with the GOP members of Illinois’ congressional delegation and the party’s Senate leader, Christine Radogno of Lemont, and House leader Jim Durkin of Western Springs. Since Rauner took over as governor in January 2015, the state Republican Party has raised nearly $30.9 million. Of that amount, 68 percent, or more than $21.1 million, has come directly from Rauner, his wife or his campaign fund. The group Illinois Working Together, a coalition of unions and other organizations opposed to the governor, are planning a “Rauner Do Your Job” demonstration outside the event.)
