Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner visited The Nest Coworking, a shared workspace for startups, in Peoria Tues., touting his pro-business agenda.
Rauner greeted a room of young business owners, software developers and designers essentially by saying, “I was like you once.”
“I was a venture capitalist myself for 32 years before going into public service. I know firsthand how hard it is to start a business and build a business, how much risk and sacrifice and sweat and worry is involved in it,” Rauner said.
