Where the “bodies are buried.”

SPRINGFIELD — Republican Gov.-elect Bruce Rauner on Friday said he wanted some insiders like Democrat Bill Daley on his transition team to help identify where the “bodies are buried.”

Rauner’s decision to put Daley on his transition team raised a few eyebrows when the son and brother of former Chicago mayors was named Thursday. Daley, who himself briefly tested a Democratic primary challenge against Gov. Pat Quinn, served as White House chief of staff for President Barack Obama. Rauner played up his outsider status as a businessman during the hard-hitting campaign against Quinn.
But on Friday, Rauner said he wants to lead an administration that seeks advice from “fresh, new leaders and outside thinking as well as folks who’ve been around the block a few times and know the issues.”

“The smart way to do a turnaround is to talk with folks who know where some of the bodies are buried, and know where some of the failures have been,” Rauner said, sparking a burst of laughter and applause from onlookers as he took questions at a downtown cafe in Springfield, one of several stops on a thank-you tour of Illinois.
“You watch and see in our administration,” he told reporters. “You’re going to see a lot of new thinking, new ideas, new leadership, young leaders emerging. That’s going to really drive the process.

“But the reality is, we need to talk with folks who are both -- been around the government here a long time as well as innovative thinking,” Rauner said. “We need big changes, and to get them done fast and do them well, we need as much wisdom and expertise as we can possibly assemble.”
Also Friday, Rauner announced that he has selected Mike Zolnierowicz, a top campaign adviser, to serve as chief of staff for his incoming administration.
Zolnierowicz, who served as deputy campaign manager for Rauner’s win over Quinn, was formerly deputy chief of staff for U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk. Prior to that, he worked for the Illinois Republican Party.
In a statement, Rauner said in working with Zolnierowicz for more than a year, “he has my complete trust and confidence.”

He was previously named by Rauner as one of the leaders of his transition team.
Daley joined former GOP Gov. Jim Edgar as headliners on the Rauner transition team headed by Lt. Gov.-elect Evelyn Sanguinetti. Other members of the team include the Rev. James Meeks, a former Democratic state senator who backed Rauner over Quinn.

While Republican Bruce Rauner remained out of the public eye Wednesday, he sought to show that work was going on behind the scenes by announcing key members of his team that would oversee transition efforts one day after claiming victory over Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn.

Rauner said he is working to set up a meeting in the coming days with House Speaker Michael Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton, two Chicago Democrats the Republican repeatedly demonized during his campaign. Both hold lopsided Democratic majorities now and in the newly elected General Assembly.
Before Daley decided against running, he predicted Quinn could not win and that “there’s got to be a change.”
