Clinton blasts Gov. Rauner's agenda as a return to robber baron era

The Chicago Tribune reports:
Democratic presidential contender Hillary Clinton on Wednesday delivered a hard-hitting critique of Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner, accusing him of pushing an agenda that would return the state to "the robber barons of the 19th century."

Clinton's speech to several hundred people at the Parkway Ballroom in Bronzeville had been billed as a get-out-the-vote rally aimed at trying to galvanize African-American supporters ahead of the March 15 Illinois primary election.
I guess Hillary thinks higher state income taxes on all Illinois residents is helping the middle class!
