The Uber ride-sharing service opened in Champaign-Urbana on Sunday - as well as in Bloomington-Normal, Rockford and Aurora - and Gov. Bruce Rauner came to town to welcome it. "I look forward to doing everything I can as governor to make sure that Illinois is welcoming to your company and innovative high-tech companies like yours from all over America," Rauner told Uber's Illinois general manager, Chris Taylor, in a ceremony at Enterprise Works in the University of Illinois Research Park.
