Good news everyone: Springfield has a new Governor and he has been giving appointments to high-rollers faster than a medical marijuana clinic. The latest beneficiary of Governor Bruce Rauner's largesse is a Lake County native. The Capitol Fax says ...Governor Bruce Rauner has selected Joann Fratianni-Atsaves as the chairman of the Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission (IWCC).If the name sounds familiar, Fratianni-Atsaves is the spouse of Louis Atsaves -- who besides being the Moraine Township GOP Chairman is also the author of Lake County's #1, bar-none, political blog:
Rauner's Friday afternoon appointments
Common Sense in Illinois' 10thYour LakeCountyEye conducted an in-depth investigation and learned that the Chair of the Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission is not only a paid position, but a handsomely paid position. Handsome to the tune of $125,232 per year, plus expenses:
Workers' Compensation CommissionThe good news is that this same Commission has 10 members who are all paid $119,840 per year. Plus expenses.
Now your LakeCountyEye maintains it would be unseemly to appoint anyone to a Commission chaired by his wife. However there are other equally qualified Lake County natives who would not be burdened with the taint of nepotism. Your LakeCountyEye, for instance. Just like Louis Atsaves, your LakeCountyEye produces Lake County's #1 political blog. And like Atsaves, your LakeCountyEye is the Moraine Township GOP Chairman.
Your LakeCountyEye has a proposal for Governor Bruce Rauner. If your aim is to run Illinois like a business, then your first priority is certainly to keep labor costs down. This is where your LakeCountyEye comes in. The minute your LakeCountyEye is appointed to the Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission, a handsome finder's fee will be donated (in your name) to the Governor's website ...

Ah, so soon the memory of the #1 Lake County Political Blog fades...
"You were number two, Cougar was number one. Cougar lost it—turned in his wings. You guys are number one."
hi TA
Since the category is old movies about sibling rivalry ...
"Why does Marcia get everything? Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!"

BB- I don't think Cougar and Maverick were siblings, but maybe in the sense that all Navy men are brothers, perhaps.
hi TA
Poetic license on my part.
