Reply #10: I Remember it well. I just moved back here from Chicago.

I got a B.A. from Columbia College, Chicago in 6/85. I wondered why I was here then, as I do now. Then I hung in there, but things got better.

It's sad, in that I don't think our governor has failed--except the fact that she sometimes lets them beat her up too much without fighting back. In 1985, we had a Dem gov. too, but he balanced the budget and did lots of good stuff. This state is alway the recipient of right-wing shit dumps in economic terms, yet survives to keep some of the best state services in the land.
