WEEKEND QUOTABLES

Arne Duncan

“There’s been a lot of turnover and we just need stability. I’m sure the mayor will make a good choice and the mayor will figure out what the right thing to do is here...” -- Sun-Times

Rand Paul

Our government is not comprised of angels, and we must have rules in place that acknowledge that, and protect our rights while protecting our national security. -- TIME

Gov. Rauner

 "Now, we're going to have a rough summer." -- Tribune

John Kass

Dennis Hastert is a Republican boss of the infamous Illinois Combine that has run this politically corrupt state. As such, Hastert even tried to influence the selection of federal prosecutors and prevent politically independent outsiders from wielding federal subpoena power. -- Tribune

And with that, the #byrd-bennett era is done. This guarantees CPS'...6th CEO since 2010? And @RahmEmanuel's next will be his 4th since 2011.
