LyLena D. Estabine, of the Illinois Policy Institute: "Rep. Kimberly Neely du Buclet first attempted to pass legislation recognizing Emmett Till Day in 2023, but it was unsuccessful. This year, passing the bill looked more promising, with 29 other representatives co-sponsoring it, including the Speaker of the House, Chris Welch. On May 31, lawmakers stripped the bill of its original purpose, erased Emmett Till’s name and replaced it with 1,200 pages of budget provisions, exploiting a procedural loophole to force passage at the last minute."
‘…the Illinois Supreme Court has a policy against enforcing the constitutional requirement.’ Reading the ruling in the link by the IL Supremes is at best tortured, making numerous circular arguments. No wonder Pritzker spent $M’s to effectively buy IL supreme court seats – it’s a legal clown show.

Ahhh, the old bait and switch . Unfortunately it is standard practice for Illinois lawmakers these days.
Present a bill with one aim and at the last minute gut it and put in some garbage language to further some issue that no one other than our corrupt politicians wants. It is what Illinois politicians do best!

Let’s have a special day for everyone ever wronged in America since 1619, replete with a paid holiday, no school, banks closed, etc. The Marxists love any excuse to foment racial discord and gain a paid day off in the process.
The point is that Emmett was a fourteen year old boy who was murdered by men who were never prosecuted for what they did. He deserves to be honored. It has nothing to do with Marxists or days off. He never got to grow up. We owe this to him!!!

We need laws that if an amendment is not related to the Orville, it can’t be tacked on. To many good bills fail by lawmakers retro sneak things in.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
