Clayborne declines to seek another term in Senate
Published: 21 September 2017
BELLEVILLE Senate Majority Leader James F. Clayborne, Jr. (D-Belleville) released the following statement today:
I want to thank my constituents over the years for allowing me to serve them in Springfield. In collaboration with my constituents we have worked together to improve the quality of life in the 57th Senatorial District by increasing education funding, building new schools and improving access to technology in the classroom.
Additionally, we have worked together to provide greater resources through grants to our local police and fire departments to improve public safety. Our hard work has led to an improved transportation system and increased economic opportunities for all.
I have decided that I will not be seeking re-election next year. I am going to focus on my family and my life out of public service. I look forward to this new chapter in my life and would once again like to thank the people of the 57th District for allowing me to be their voice in Springfield.
Clayborne has represented the 57th Legislative District since 1995. The district is located primarily in St. Clair County, while also containing parts of Madison County.
Clayborne has also served as the Senate Majority Leader, the second highest ranking member of the Senate, since 2009.

On 5/25/2017, Superintendent Eddie Johnson predicted a 50% reduction is Chicago violence within 3 years of SB1722 becoming law. The bill was signed into law on 6/23/2017. The clock is now ticking.

All these people not seeking re election next year is going to make for some interesting turn of events. Must be getting close to a 20% turnover for the next election.
One persons paranoia is another persons situational awareness.
Fastest way to end violence is to ban Democrats.

Of course not. Why should the "rats" that caused this debacle stick around for the disaster they caused? 
They want to avoid the pitchforks and torches.
I got matches !!

If this is a sign of the pending collapse then I'm surprised, I figured we had a few more years.
"The point of [so-called "assault weapon" bans]...is not to ban firearms that are dangerous, it's to ban firearms that gun owners want to own because the people making the laws don't like gun owners. If we want to buy non-semiauto AR-style rifles, they'll ban those too, and for the same reason."
