Drylok Posted May 9, 2012 at 08:04 PM Posted May 9, 2012 at 08:04 PM Waiting for a call from Rose, I was shocked he voted NO but Andrea just told me she has had about 1,000 calls 99% asking for a NO vote. I know he represents his constiuants but damn we got a fiscal disaster here and all we're asking is for state employees to pay a little of thier share just like those of us in the private sector do.
mauserme Posted May 9, 2012 at 08:13 PM Author Posted May 9, 2012 at 08:13 PM Dang your quick MausermeOnly in a good way ... Here are the House votes on SB681. It's hard to imagine why so many voted against this. It doesn't change the amount of ammunition being purchased - it just helps bring the business back into Illinois.
mauserme Posted May 9, 2012 at 08:24 PM Author Posted May 9, 2012 at 08:24 PM Note to myself - Session is cancelled for the Senate Friday 5/11/2012 and Monday 5/14/2012.

It's hard to imagine why so many voted against this. It doesn't change the amount of ammunition being purchased - it just helps bring the business back into Illinois. Hmm... So Rosemary Mulligan and Sid Mathias both vote NO and Jim Durkin is absent???I hope this isn't a sign of what's to come...
willxjcherokee Posted May 9, 2012 at 08:31 PM Posted May 9, 2012 at 08:31 PM Why would they vote against this? lolIts only making something thats already legal legal...

It's hard to imagine why so many voted against this. It doesn't change the amount of ammunition being purchased - it just helps bring the business back into Illinois. There were the typical no votes as expected just due to the nature of the bill. I believe any bill that pertains to firearms or ammunition will get the typical no vote response.

I believe any bill that pertains to firearms or ammunition will get the typical no vote response. It's kind of a shame if they can't rise above typical to bring some revenue into the state. I'm happy to see both my current and soon to be reps voted yes. Thank you calls will are on the agenda.

I'm happy to see both my current and soon to be reps voted yes. Thank you calls will are on the agenda. My rep is Pam Roth and she is solid. Thank God. But I did notice that out of the Joliet area where Jack McGuire was the rep. His replacement Larry Walsh Jr. was a NO vote on this particular bill. If that's any indication of his upcoming voting record, I'm really not impressed or happy with it.
Federal Farmer Posted May 9, 2012 at 09:06 PM Posted May 9, 2012 at 09:06 PM This may be one of those cases where they are "allowed" to vote a different way if their vote is not needed and they need to shore up cred with a particular constituency.
abolt243 Posted May 9, 2012 at 09:33 PM Posted May 9, 2012 at 09:33 PM I'll take 89 - 28 on HB 148, won't you?? T

Nope, not a prediction. My crytal ball got damaged last June at the diaper shoot. I think Drylok's little brother, Brass Pile, decided it would make a good target!! I'll not make predictions on the vote. Not to get too cocky and not to jinx the vote!! AB
mauserme Posted May 9, 2012 at 11:06 PM Author Posted May 9, 2012 at 11:06 PM If I sounded a little cynical in my earlier observations I appologize. Getting the calendars posted during the May, very full, schedule somtimes brings out a little crabiness in me. Fear not, it will pass.
dmefford Posted May 10, 2012 at 02:06 AM Posted May 10, 2012 at 02:06 AM Thank you very much! ,................. and as far as what DRD stated, I took it as face value. I think he is PO'd about the stupid bills IL proposes just like the rest of us are , ( you know like many of the ones we are trying to kill) but thankful for this post every week so we are aware of them and all the others that we are in support of. Yep... It POs me to see some of the crap... as to the 7000 pieces of Cr*p, I don't think my nerves would handle it... This thread gives me just enuff.... Regards, Drd
C0untZer0 Posted May 10, 2012 at 03:36 AM Posted May 10, 2012 at 03:36 AM Why would Acevedo vote yes?
dmefford Posted May 10, 2012 at 03:59 AM Posted May 10, 2012 at 03:59 AM Why would Acevedo vote yes? If Rahm tells him to, he will vote yes... JMHO... Regards, Drd
Drylok Posted May 10, 2012 at 04:15 PM Posted May 10, 2012 at 04:15 PM I posted this in a new thread but 1313 was a sham bill so don't get too optomistic about real cuts taking place. http://illinoiscarry.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=30021
