Rep. Cabello (R): 'I think the governor should resign' [View all]

ROCKFORD (WREX) - Republican State Rep. John Cabello tells 13 WREX he believes Gov. Bruce Rauner should resign during an interview following Wednesday's State of the State address in Springfield.

Cabello points to the governor's credibility as the main reason for his comments, saying the governor has broken his word, specifically on House Bill 40. Cabello says in meetings with the governor, Rauner told lawmakers he would not sign the bill related to abortion funding. House Bill 40 was eventually signed into law in late September.

"When you tell someone you are not going to do something, you should stick to your word," Cabello said. "I can't trust any words that he says from here on out."

When asked about Rauner's State of the State speech Wednesday, Cabello only responded by saying "I was raised that if you have nothing nice to say you shouldn't say it at all."
