“I voted against the SAFE-T Act when it passed nearly two years ago,,” state Sen. Bill Cunningham said. “These latest changes make the law more workable for officers on the street. The changes to the bill make our communities safer and give law enforcement more clarity."
Whether the likes of Democrats like Bill Cunningham vote yes or no is not based on the content of the bill inasmuch as how many votes are needed. Bill was able to vote no initially because the IL Senate Dems had enough yes votes for it to pass. Likewise, he was able to vote yes this time around, allowing any senators connected to SJW interests to vote no.
This is what a super-majority affords Illinois Democrats. The moderate ones or the ones who have Republican challengers are able to vote against party lines without actually changing the outcome.
