SPRINGFIELD – Governor Bruce Rauner again insists one of his goals is to rid state regulations from local spending decisions.

The Republican governor told WJBC’s Scott Laughlin and Patti Penn local dollars should have local control.

“Run Bloomington, run Normal as you see fit. Run McLean County as you see fit,” Rauner said. “Don’t have Springfield telling you how to run your community. I say get Springfield out of it, let local residents control it.”
