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.

Now two flags fly above my land that really sum up how I feel. One is the colors that fly high and proud the red, the white, the blue. The other ones got a rattle snake with a simple statement made, don't tread on me, is what it says and I'll take that to my grave

Only in a good way ...  :cool:



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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

Surely that's not a prediction but, yes, I would be very happy with that on 148.

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!!

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.

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...showtopic=30021
