Rich Miller: Pritzker, Illinois House Speaker Welch open to tweaking SAFE-T Act – Chicago Sun-Times

"(Illinois House Speaker Chris) Welch strongly defended the state law throughout his comments, insisting that the SAFE-T Act 'is working' and that judges and police officers 'will tell you that the bad guys are in jail because judges are locking them up. The SAFE-T Act is allowing judges to do their job.' I dunno about judges, but one doesn’t hear many, if any, cops say such a thing. That doesn’t mean they’re right, of course."
