"Consistent with the electioneering hijinks we in Illinois have seen for years from both sides of the political spectrum, the General Assembly (with the governor’s blessing) said no pamphlet would be mailed to voters this election on the proposed Workers’ Rights amendment...Illinois law was amended to provide that for any proposed constitutional amendment appearing on the Nov. 8 ballot that the pamphlet would not be sent out."

Thanks for your downvote Mrs Pritzger. Your Weight Watcher meetings miss you.
