Governor Rauner also spoke about the veto session now being held in Springfield. He says lawmakers' decision to overturn a veto on Medicaid eligibility and lawsuit settlements will hurt taxpayers.

Rauner stated during his speech:

"I'm very scared for the people of Illinois. I believe that the folks who put Illinois into a financial quagmire are back into complete control of the government. The policies that created the financial mess in Illinois are the policies that will be dominating without any resistance"
