Replacing one speaker with another - SO? Is it any improvement for Illinois? Or is it simply re-arranging the chairs in the Titanic?
His "replacement" is hand-picked Madigan flunky. This state is no better off with Madigan out. Madigan is still exercising his power through his hand-picked flunky.
(I live in Hellinois, I follow this crap closely here.)
New Speaker has a black progress caucus agenda — Reparations, No Bond Bail, Restorative Justice and taxes for social justice. In many ways, he is actually worse than Madigan. The Illinois legislature just passed the New York style no bond bail. Unclear if governor Jelly Belly Pritzker will sign it.
