Emanuel, Perry Spar over Business Climates
Texas trying to lure down companies from high-tax Illinois
Mayor Rahm Emanuel gave Rick Perry a Chicago-style greeting Monday, challenging the Texas governor to remember the reasons for his visit to Illinois — a jab at Perry's presidential debate forgetfulness.
"I hope when he comes he remembers all three of his reasons," Emanuel said. "Because it will be a real test for him."
Perry was in Illinois Monday to encourage businesses to move to Texas and was scheduled to address a Chicago business convention Tuesday.

I'm sure he hopes he doesn't get murdered in your disaster of a city.
Timely joke, though. Next do one about how OJ did it!
