I like Aaron Schock


Hat tip to Bill Dennis. I emerged out of my migrane stupor WAY too early (6:00 a.m.?!) Sunday morning. Just in time to listen to Bill Dennis interview Representative Schock on 104 FM. Schock was amazing, and I gotta say, Spears has his work cut out for him. Intelligence mixed with energy is a hard combo to beat. Schock eloquently blasted Gov. Chicagovich as a crummy leader who has neglected any needs that lie outside Chicago. Aaron mentioned that our beloved Governor loves the T.V. cameras, but as for spending the time and doing the work required in Springfield to lead, build alliances and convince legislators that Blago's agenda is worthwhile... Nope. Ain't happening.

Case in point, the new School Construction Fund, dormant now for three and half years. In the past, new schools have been built in areas with the fastest growing populations. No surprise, that means the collar districts surrounding Chicago. Now that Chicago has what it needs, what are the chances that our Gov is going to ask that we begin replacing crumbling ancient schools built in the 19th century here in Peoria? Nope. Ain't happening. What an ass.

Bill's entire interview with Schock was educational and entertaining. Which I had the ability to link it. AHEM!!!
