“I think that whatever the governor does, (the Republicans are) gonna have a criticism,” As a super-majority party statewide, this needs to be their mentality and message over the next two years, as the Republicans step up their attacks with their eyes on statewide offices. - Cool Papa Bell - Friday, Feb 5, 21 @ 10:45 am: I’ll guess that more lawmakers than not wind up taking the shot. But that many choose not to share any pictures on social media while doing to. =“I think that whatever the governor does, (the Republicans are) gonna have a criticism,” said Koehler.= Not a Koehler fan, but the evidence (and I mean ample evidence) supports this statement. ....
- Too cute by half - Thursday, Feb 4, 21 @ 11:47 am: Am I the only one who thinks the process isn’t that hard? You go to the website, enter your name and date of birth, check off a few boxes, then hit submit and for the inevitable heat death of the universe. Didech - just stop talking. You aren’t helping yourself and it’s an embarrassing look. No Daniel, it really is about you jumping the line. You can work with masks and hand sanitizer like everyone else has been doing for almost a year. You don’t need all those staffers either, you can fetch your own coffee and papers off the printer. ....
Pretty good summary except for the part about the Speaker being a devout Catholic. He was banned from receiving communion by Bishop Paprocki in Springfield churches in 2013 after voting to expand abortion access and in a 2019 deposition said he does not belong to a church or parish.

It’s worth a listen, and Rich doesn’t hold back. ” I think you’ll see him retire to a private life and I wish him the best on that” ....
Associated Press file photo Days after being deposed as Illinois House speaker, Michael Madigan has vacated his Springfield apartment, fueling speculation that he will resign the Illinois House seat he has held since 1971. Madigan’s decision to vacate his apartment at Lincoln Tower, about a block from the Illinois State Capitol, was first reported by Mark Maxwell, a television reporter in Springfield. Maxwell tweeted a picture of an open door at Lincoln Tower, leading to a vacant apartment without a stick of furniture to be seen. “Looking more and more like someone other than Michael Madigan will represent his district in Springfield for the first time in 50 years. Spotted staffers clearing out his apartment furniture today. No official resignation yet,” Maxwell tweeted. ....
“She deserves a lot of credit for sticking her neck out there when nobody else would.” So many people in the comments here were mocking her for running because she didn’t have the path to 60 votes. She was the first one to step up and challenge the Speaker. That deserves so much credit because of how unprecedented it is in this state. Smart money seems to be on Welch, then. Deals have been cut. It’ll either be Madigan or Madigan’s guy and Rita Mayfield will be right, one way or other. === It’ll either be Madigan=== This is why taking you seriously is folly. ....
