Rauner Assembles Transition Team

Illinois Public Broadcasting

Former SIU President Glenn Poshard will help Illinois Governor-elect Bruce Rauner's transition team.

The republican Rauner is naming a transition team of advisers that includes two prominent democrats, Poshard, and former White House chief of staff Bill Daley. It also includes former GOP Gov. Jim Edgar, Republican Congressman Aaron Schock, the Rev. James Meeks from Chicago and Doug Oberhelman, the CEO of Caterpillar Inc.

Rauner named his running mate, Lt governor-elect Evelyn Sanguinetti, to head the team. They'll help the transition into office on a range of issues. Rauner says he's chosen from a ``broad range'' of community, business, faith and political leaders.
