Governor Bruce Rauner is hopeful Illinois will receive money for transportation from Donald Trump’s administration.

Rauner says he has good relationships with some of the people in Trump’s administration, including Vice President-elect Mike Pence. And he’s hoping to see federal money come here for infrastructure projects for roads and airports.

Rauner also says he’s talking with other governors about what happens to Medicaid with all the changes to health care coverage that could be coming.
