I've lost my patience too guys but we have to understand this is the most high profile bill in IL history and will be national news when it goes so we know they're going to drag it out until the last possible second. I found that it helps to just accept that it isn't going to happen until we get a decision from SCOTUS that way if it happens sooner than that it will be a pleasant surprise

No we can't make them call a bill although the sponsor which in the case of 148 is Brandon Phelps technically can call it any time he wants. But he won't call it until Vandermyde tells him to because we have to get all of our ducks in a row such as the task force report and garnering those last 2 or 3 votes to pass it.

Are they even going to call a carry bill this year? Is there a way to make them call the bill?

Who isn't?

 

Drylok, I do like your thought of just waiting for the SC to throw the book at our AG. If something happens before then, bonus. But as Buz said, tired of waiting...
