Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel says the main players in Springfield should cool out.
His comments come as Republican Governor Bruce Rauner started an ad campaign criticizing Democratic House Speaker Michael Madigan.
Emanuel says those commercials could make it harder to break a stalemate.
“In politics, dialogue and trust are essential and any time you break that up, you make coming to terms harder," Emanuel said.
The Mayor has a lot to lose in the fight at the capitol. He wants the governor to sign a bill that would relieve the city from having to pay hundreds of millions of dollars this year toward police and fire pensions.
