SPRINGFIELD - Within minutes of filing his D-2 Quarterly Report showing $100.00 in his account late Wednesday night, Chad Grimm, Libertarian for Governor, reported getting a $30,000 donation from the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 150 based in Countryside, Illinois.
The IUOE Local 150 has made a number of contributions to candidates opposing Republican candidate Bruce Rauner in this election cycle, including funds to a 527 group that spent thousands to oppose Rauner in the GOP primary.

Grimm's numbers are nearing 7 points in the latest gubernatorial race polling, which could be devastating to the Rauner campaign November 4th.
