Dunkin argues many of his Democratic colleagues "celebrate me quietly" for going against Madigan and striking his own deal with Rauner late last year, which he casts as a victory for vulnerable people in the state who were facing a cutoff of services. Under that deal, Dunkin refused to vote with Democrats to try to overturn Rauner vetoes of bills to protect funding for child care and services for seniors and the disabled. At the same time, Rauner backed off plans to use his executive authorities to cut services to those groups.
