In his victory speech Tuesday night, Bruce Rauner indicated he had called House Speaker Michael Madigan and Democratic Senate President John Cullerton.
However, a couple of reports indicated that neither Madigan nor Cullerton spoke with the Governor-Elect. Reports in the State Journal Register and Chicago Sun Times say Speaker Michael Madigan's spokesman has no record of any calls from Rauner
A Rauner spokesman says the Republican left a voice mail for the Speaker. And a senate spokesman says a representative from the Rauner campaign spoke with a Cullerton staff member but never spoke with Cullerton.
A Rauner spokesman did not say why Rauner had indicated he had spoken with the legislative leaders.
