Column: However ill-advised, SAFE-T Act still makes history – Champaign News-Gazette

Jim Dey: "Claims by legislators like state Sen. Ron Peters, D-Chicago, that any changes would be non-substantial was hot air designed to disguise serious legislative malpractice. To hear supporters speak in public, any criticism of the SAFE-T Act was based on ignorance, lies or racism. Behind the scenes, supporters were negotiating improvements that served their political interests as well as public safety."

Illinois is set to self destruct. Thank the lawmakers who take your tax dollars and represent the criminal, not the honest man, woman and child.
