Frank Watson Tosses Out Red Meat

Talking about Illinois government under total Democratic Party control, Senator Minority Leader Fran Watson observed,

“It’s live for today and don’t worry about tomorrow.”

Watson criticized government in Illinois.

“…45th in job growth,”

I jotted down.

The senator who represents the non-Republican part of Decatur and whose district snakes southwest to his Metro-East hometown told the audience of how he had been trying to attract businesses to his area for decades.

Watson explained he would make progress only to have those he was courting say,

“The cost of doing business is less (in surrounding states) and I’m sorry but we’re going to take our business (elsewhere).”

“We have a U.S. Attorney looming at the steps of the Capitol,”

Watson continued.

“It doesn’t have to be that way.

“People can learn.”
