Illinois lawmakers passed almost 100 bills on final day – Illinois Policy

Many of those last-day bills saw the text replaced with new, entirely unrelated language. They were not quick reads, so what are the chances lawmakers fully read, much less understood, what they were voting on? Plus, the practice violates the Illinois Constitution, but state courts have given lawmakers a wink and a nod to continue the practices.

Good God. This is manipulation of that process and the no action approval of law breaking by the courts so damn wrong. This is not a way to run a government. It is a crime against every tax payer in Illinois.
