Gov. JB Pritzker set to sign more than 500 bills passed by the Illinois General Assembly – Center Square

One hotly debated bill dealt with the state providing taxpayer assistance to grocery stores. Supporters said the legislation will eliminate food deserts in Illinois, but state Rep. Brad Halbrook said on the floor of the House what is really going on is a “logic” desert. “All this leads to really bad policy and we have the situation that the government is picking winners and losers once again."

Guv Pigchop will of course have to take a break from signing all da bills to chow down on a couple XL stuffed pies from Genos.

Most of which were passed without being read.

If you think about it. How is that even legal? Passing bills when only a hand full of lawmakers read it and behind closed doors to boot. Just because most lawmakers in Springfield are only there to vote yes or no. What type of representation did the constituents get? The Party spent lots of money to get just warm fleshed (or cold) bodies elected just to vote yes when they are needed to do so. So the people who voted for these reps vote yes on “Party” lines only whether or not those bills are what the voters want.
