Lou Posted January 7, 2019 at 05:46 PM Share Posted January 7, 2019 at 05:46 PM I think my new Rep. will be seeing the full power the speaker holds shortly. She must realize she is a one term rep. As she recently announced a primary challenge against Durbin in 2020. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRJ Posted January 7, 2019 at 06:26 PM Share Posted January 7, 2019 at 06:26 PM I think my new Rep. will be seeing the full power the speaker holds shortly. She must realize she is a one term rep. As she recently announced a primary challenge against Durbin in 2020.She was quoted in the paper that she was announcing early because she didn't want Durbin to win by default uncontested only to retire after the win so the Governor can appoint some crony. While I'm not a huge fan of the feminist politics this rep seems to have, I'm absolutely fan of someone outside the machine challenging Durbin from his side of the aisle. I've taken part in overthrowing entrenched leadership in the corporate, club and HOA environments. I end up with "blood on my hands" that makes me toxic for a second term, but change always follows. I think she's playing the same game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundguy Posted January 7, 2019 at 06:33 PM Share Posted January 7, 2019 at 06:33 PM If Lou Lang can quit...He retired.http://illinoiscarry.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=70778 He resigned and took a position with a lobbying firm.Likely in conjunction with his recent #MeToo moment? Months after a #MeToo allegation prompted him to resign leadership posts in the Illinois House, State Rep. Lou Lang on Monday announced he’s resigning and joining a prominent consulting and lobbying firm. In September, the Skokie Democrat was cleared of allegations by the state’s acting legislative inspector general. Julie Porter ruled there wasn’t enough evidence to prove harassment happened, in part because the woman who accused him would not be interviewed for the investigation. Lang stepped down from his leadership post “to avoid distraction from the agenda of the House Democratic Caucus.” Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan said in a statement in May that Lang resigned from his leadership posts after consulting with him.

I can respect someone who truly believes and sacrifices for what they perceive to be an improvement, even if I don't agree with their politics.

He has more than enough time in to have a fully funded pension. You can resign and still get more than one retirement check from different pension plans.
