DEMOCRATIC GOVERNORS ASSOCIATION
— 6 Days of Silence: Rauner and Ives Won’t Talk… But Maybe They Text? (DIERSEN: What is Rauner’s response to this?)
https://democraticgovernors.org/news/6-days-of-silence-rauner-and-ives-wont-talk-but-maybe-they-text/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It’s been six days since Governor Bruce Rauner was thoroughly embarrassed by state Representative Jeanne Ives, who earned 48% of the Republican primary vote. Despite Rauner’s obvious need to patch things up with his primary opponent, the two have not spoken since the election. In fact, Ives spent most of last week trashing the wounded governor even more. Rauner said he has not spoken with Ives, but maybe he tried to reach her via text. It probably went something like this: . . . “Bruce Rauner’s lies and betrayals divided the Republican Party so badly that his primary opponent refuses to speak with him,” said DGA Illinois Communications Director Sam Salustro. “Rauner’s failed leadership turned away Democrats and Independents, and now 48% of Republican voters. With no accomplishments and no supporters, Rauner truly is the most vulnerable incumbent in the nation.”)

DAILY HERALD
— Orange County considers fighting state’s ‘sanctuary’ law – AP (DIERSEN: Needless-to-say, the Republicans who run DuPage County should fight Illinois’ sanctuary law. Needless-to-say, the Republicans who run DuPage County should a) sue Illinois, Rauner, Sanguinetti, and all the legislators who voted for Illinois’ sanctuary law and b) require all employees in DuPage County to check E-Verify before they hire or retain employees.)
http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20180327/news/303279995/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Leaders of Orange County, California, planned Tuesday to consider fighting a state law aimed at protecting immigrants from stepped-up deportations under the Trump administration. The backlash to the state’s so-called sanctuary law comes a week after the small city of Los Alamitos in Orange County voted to opt out of the policy. The all-Republican supervisors of the Southern California county of 3.2 million people were expected to discuss passing a resolution in support of Los Alamitos and whether to join the U.S. government’s lawsuit over the law, which bars police in many cases from turning over suspects to federal immigration agents for deportation. “This legislation prevents law enforcement from removing criminals from our community and is a threat to public safety,” said Supervisor Shawn Nelson, who has proposed joining the lawsuit by President Donald Trump’s administration or filing a new one. Orange County, which is home to Disneyland and wealthy beach communities where many people vacation, has a five-member board of supervisors, and all are Republican. While Republicans still outnumber Democrats in the county, Democrats have gained significant ground in recent years, and Hillary Clinton won more votes than Trump in Orange County in the 2016 presidential election. California, a liberal state that is home to more than 10 million immigrants, passed its sanctuary law last year to limit local police collaboration with U.S. immigration authorities.)
