Violent crime victim pleads with Gov. Pritzker to veto sweeping reforms to state’s justice system – Center Square

State Rep. David Welter, R-Morris, said the bill barely passed in the final hours of a lameduck session. “I imagine there was some arm twisting on the other side to get that bill to that 60 votes, so by no means was this a mandate. They pulled out all the tricks and stops to get this thing passed.”

JB seems to be waivering. He sees that now everyone knows McCann was a stooge to draw votes from Rauner, and that mandate he has isn’t quite what he thought it would be. I firmly believe that IL isn’t as Blue as everyone says it is. It’s been gerrymandered into a blue state over the years, but D’s have only a slim majority in the state which they’ve gerrymandered into a supermajority.
