Rangerdeepv Posted December 30, 2020 at 03:51 PM Share Posted December 30, 2020 at 03:51 PM 70% cancelled?There is a silver lining to every dark Covid cloud it appears:https://www.thecentersquare.com/illinois/illinois-legislature-canceled-around-70-percent-of-scheduled-days-in-2020/article_7cf5fd16-49f7-11eb-ab29-6f624d15249b.html Maybe we can go for 100% cancellation and let the courts catch up to our misguided anti-Constitution statehouse occupants?

Jeffrey Posted December 30, 2020 at 04:02 PM Share Posted December 30, 2020 at 04:02 PM As beneficial to us as it may be, why do they deserve a raise? They should be paid 30% of their salary for the 30% effort of work they put in. Fire them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tip Posted December 30, 2020 at 05:21 PM Share Posted December 30, 2020 at 05:21 PM Wonder what it would cost to get to 100 percent ? ? ? Let’s see, 70% cost us things like: The ability to dine out at our leisure The ability to come and go as we please Any semblance of timeliness in processing FOID/CCL Many, many small businesses across the state A c-ton of additional public debt And many many many other things I certainly don’t wanna know what 100% would cost.....

RANDY Posted December 30, 2020 at 05:32 PM Share Posted December 30, 2020 at 05:32 PM Personally I think the legislature should be limited to no more than 15 days per year, and get paid a stipend not to exceed minimum wage. They should be required to work a normal job the rest of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Posted December 30, 2020 at 06:17 PM Share Posted December 30, 2020 at 06:17 PM They should be paid commission only, when they actually do something. Not the commissions that we never hear about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mab22 Posted December 30, 2020 at 06:27 PM Share Posted December 30, 2020 at 06:27 PM Kinda glad they are not doing anything, can’t hurt us when they are not finding new ways to tax the $/#@ out of us, trample our rights, figure out how to divert money to their cronies, etc. The typical crap they do.

Flynn Posted January 3, 2021 at 04:57 AM Share Posted January 3, 2021 at 04:57 AM They should be paid commission only, when they actually do something. Not the commissions that we never hear about. Do that and they would create 1000s of bills to change a period into a new period and pass them by the 100s to claim how accomplished they were that session at passing bills. And sadly a vast majority of the public would remain clueless that they were doing that just like they remain clueless they don't do anything 90% of the time.

Illinois pol's would never create a law to strictly benefit themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
