Government pensions are among the largest cost drivers for state and local governments.

State universities in Illinois are a microcosm of our state government - broken with work rules and administrative bureaucracy.

Being a successful CEO, where I've driven a bottom line, assembled teams, driven results, that's a critical benefit to running the state government.

I have my strong views and opinions. I really want to transform Illinois government because this state is failing the taxpayers and the children.

The state was made for man, not man for state.

We have a moral duty to have an efficient government.
