State House passes bill limiting speaker, other leadership terms to ten years

Ashlee Rezin Garcia/Sun-Times file Speakers of the Illinois House would only be allowed to serve a fraction of the record-setting tenure that Mike Madigan enjoyed under a bill lawmakers sent to the state Senate on Thursday, imposing term limits on top leadership posts in both chambers. The bill caps the terms for speaker and minority leader in the House and president and minority leader in the Senate to no more than 10 consecutive years. It would take effect in January 2023. “This is a big moment for reform in the state of Illinois,” state Rep. Anthony DeLuca said before the House voted unanimously to pass the bill he sponsored. One legislator voted present.

Gov Pritzker signs firefighter pension fix over Mayor Lightfoot s objections

Pat Nabong; Ashlee Rezin Garcia/Chicago Sun-Times file Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed a bill aimed at fixing pensions for thousands of Chicago firefighters on Monday, rejecting Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s call to veto the legislation that she called “highly problematic.” The governor argued the pension fix ensures “certainty and fair treatment” for hardworking firefighters, but Republican lawmakers and fellow Democrat Lightfoot counter that it will sock already strapped taxpayers with another property tax increase. The new law removes the “birth date restriction” that prohibited roughly 2,200 active and retired firefighters born after Jan. 1, 1966 from receiving a 3% annual cost of living increase.
