Gov. Bruce Rauner is renewing his call for term limits and says the General Assembly should vote on the idea in the fall. 
 
Rauner delivered a campaign-style speech Monday in Chicago. Relying on a teleprompter, he spoke for less than ten minutes and didn't take reporters' questions. 
 
The first-term Republican says Illinois politics needs new ideas and faces. He says he'll be pushing term limits during a two-day state tour. 

Rauner backed term limits in his 2014 gubernatorial campaign, but a judge found a signature-driven ballot question was unconstitutional. The same judge also threw out a measure proposing changes to how the state draws its political boundaries 
 
A revamped redistricting measure is pending review by the Illinois Supreme Court after a Cook County judge found it unconstitutional for November's ballot.
