‘Come on and take a free ride,’ says Rauner
Rock fans may remember the Edgar Winter Group, which had a hit song called “Free Ride” back in the ‘70s.
It’s apparently the new theme song of Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner, who wants non-union public employees to benefit from union contracts without having to pay for representation.
“Come on and take a free ride,” says the song. “Come on and take it by my side. Come on and take a free ride.”
Pretty good song – pretty bad policy.
