3. Rauner's plan

Does anyone feel Rauner will reveal his plan, assuming he has one, before he decides to run for President as probably the 537th declared candidate for President on the Republican side?
I live in a suburb of Chicago. Went to a Rauner event last year sponsored by the Oak lawn Tea Party. Got a chance to ask a question of Baron Von Carhart during the Q&A.
My question was: You talk about cutting property taxes, real estate taxes, all as a path to prosperity. You are proposing the same thing for Illinois that was done in Kansas under Republican Governor Sam Brownback in 2012 and now their deficit is exploding. How will your plan work any differently?
He responded that my question was complicated and we would talk later. Immediately after the Q&A he rushed out. The Tea Party crowd ate up his speech.
