bear226 Posted June 22, 2017 at 05:25 PM Share Posted June 22, 2017 at 05:25 PM Seems they got a lot done today! Just another waste of tax payer money. Can't wait to see parts of the lottery pull out of this state and they lose some of the income and watch the state become junk bonds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinnyb82 Posted June 22, 2017 at 09:19 PM Share Posted June 22, 2017 at 09:19 PM Junk bonds? Illinois GO debt will be no bid if they continue this crap. No one will sell the "junk" because they'll take massive haircuts. Sent from my VS987 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowhouse5 Posted June 22, 2017 at 09:38 PM Share Posted June 22, 2017 at 09:38 PM Todays email from my Senator: Another day wasted, another $40K down the drain, and another reason as to why nothing gets accomplished here in Springfield.Yesterday, I told you that the Senate spent 9 minutes and 42 seconds in Special Session. Today, we were in a measly 2 minutes longer, and that's only because two senators took a moment to introduce their interns.Again, where is the seriousness? Legislators were called back to the Capitol to work on a budget, yet nothing budget related has been heard on the Senate Floor since we returned.Every day we are in Special Session, it costs you $40 thousand. That's $40k for only a few minutes of work. Talk about a waste of taxpayer dollars.I'm here in Springfield ready to take budget action. I hope my colleagues start feeling the same way.If you have comments for me, simply hit reply to this email.And if you want to know more about what is happening down here in Springfield during Special Session, be sure to watch my Facebook Live event on Monday. Details for the event are below.Faithfully yours, Dan McConchieState Senator for the 26th District Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauserme Posted June 22, 2017 at 10:12 PM Author Share Posted June 22, 2017 at 10:12 PM Subject matter continues on HB4068. Since that doesn't involve us and it's unlikely they'll go back into regular session, I'm calling it a night. When they adjourn, it will be until 6/23/2017 @ 12:00 Noon.

bear226 Posted June 23, 2017 at 02:57 AM Share Posted June 23, 2017 at 02:57 AM So they met today and nothing on the budget and they will meet again on the 24th. According to my time frame on my computer today is the 22nd so they will meet Sat the 24th?? Today is the 22nd. Is my computer wrong with the day of the week? They will bypass the budget anyway from what I have seen so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmyers Posted June 23, 2017 at 11:38 AM Share Posted June 23, 2017 at 11:38 AM Is there anyway in the State of Illinois for the average Joe to propose a new law and get it voted on by the people and not have to go through our ruling body to get permission by the overlords?

Lou Posted June 23, 2017 at 11:54 AM Share Posted June 23, 2017 at 11:54 AM Is there anyway in the State of Illinois for the average Joe to propose a new law and get it voted on by the people and not have to go through our ruling body to get permission by the overlords? In reality, no. We tried to get a redistricting referendum on the ballot twice but it was stopped in court by a Madigan lawyer. Madigan is the one who crafted the rules on binding referendums. Madigan is the dictator of Illinois. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
