Rich Miller: Messy bills may result in Pritzker veto – Bloomington Pantagraph

Last Wednesday alone, House committees approved 107 Senate bills for floor action and passed 227 during the full week. Senate committees approved 100 House bills last week. The biggest problem with this haphazard flood of bills is that many require mandates for additional state spending.

There were 227 bills passed by the house last week. That is passing a bill every 11 minutes. That is not legislating, it’s rubber stamping. I suspect that those bills were not even read by the house members.
