Anti-con-con forces win

Illinois voters don’t want a Constitutional Convention, 68 to 32 percent. Apparently, they’re all happy with excessive executive power, gerrymandering that allows politicians to choose their voters instead of vice-versa, and the ability for about four people to put a stranglehold on the Illinois House and Senate. Good show!

Of course the real answer, as former Governor Edgar, et. al., explained on the radio countless times, is to simply vote these bad representatives out of office. So, let’s see who got voted out of office. Hmmm…. Ah yes, here it is: No one.

Well, I don’t want to hear any complaints about state government from anyone who voted against the Con Con. You had your chance to improve things, and you blew it.
