Hopefully, my Dem colleagues will remember who Mike Madigan really is when asked to vote for him for Speaker next year. Elect a Trump-like tyrant -you get a Trump-like tyrant. https://t.co/1s0P2zLwlN
I had the good fortune of meeting Aaron at the IL Holocaust Museum. This is a tremendous loss. But his spirit and story will live on as part of the museum's phenomenal new Take A Stand Center. https://t.co/g82M41e6un
“My job is to go around all over and try to convince people to stop hating each other.”
Aaron Elster, one of the Chicago area’s most visible and eloquent Holocaust survivors and social activists, died Wednesday at age 86 https://t.co/o8ffWzICdv
Never a good sign when a politician doesn't want to talk to the press. "Sen. Morrison's office declined a request for an interview and did not provide answers to a list of written questions." @JulieForSenate, what did the NRA promise you? https://t.co/S8etmohMja
Here's the difference between IL and a real Democratic state - in Massachusetts assault weapons are banned. In IL, assault weapons bans are banned. We deserve better. https://t.co/luUHhnd9HW
I've been talking about this for years. Unbalanced budgets and severe neglect of our universities has forced students and professors to look elsewhere. https://t.co/mJxTVHRifQ
We could have passed this law in 2013 or 2014 when we had a Dem Gov and Dem supermajorities in House and Senate. Instead, we prohibited assault weapons bans. Begs the question - is IL really a Blue State? https://t.co/xWo7MvMFQE
Today, the IL Appellate Court ordered the opinion in Madigan's frivolous ballot objection be issued as a published decision. This will prevent future frivolous objections of this nature. Not the ultimate victory I sought, but it removes a weapon from the Machines's arsenal.
