Any Dems absent? Any GOP supporters?

I have been wondering what “#twill” means. Any help here?

===wondering what “#twill” means===

I invented the hashtag several years ago. Combo of Twitter and Illinois.

Does anyone know where I can find the livestram? Blueroomstream isn’t showing and the ilga website is laggy.

“…legislation supported by Rauner and introduced by GOP Rep. CD Davidsmeyer for a continuing appropriation for state worker salaries….”

Has this been actually introduced yet?

Thank you for clarifying, Rich. For the life of me, I couldn’t figure it out. I thought maybe “This Week in Illinois”.

The FL Supreme Ct ruling is bad news for Speaker Boehner. The ruling is also a reminder that the GOP has no more scruples than Democrats when it comes to flagrant gerrymandering.

Great tweet, Rich, on synonyms for “minion.” But didn’t you forget “mushroom?”

===didn’t you forget “mushroom?”===

That definition involves a banned word.

Comment by Rich Miller Thursday, Jul 9, 15 @ 2:18 pm
For the House Democrats to complain that the House Republicans are minions is truly laughable.

Inquiring minds want to know: why was Rich booed on the House floor?

Must’ve been Sandack.

Amanda Vinicky tweeted that there’s a technical error with the House amendment to add employee salaries to the one-month budget Senate Bill 2040. Is the House just going to let that go?

Rich, what is the bill # that passed? Is it SB2040 or HB4225 or HFA1? Thanks

Comment by Mama Thursday, Jul 9, 15 @ 2:52 pm
SB2040 HA 1

“Rep. Andersson says the 30-day budget doesn’t move the state forward into a full-year budget: “It delays us from that four-year budget.”" What 4-year budget?

Comment by Mama Thursday, Jul 9, 15 @ 2:53 pm
SB2040 only passed the 2nd reading so it isn’t a done deal. I assume it goes back to the Senate for approval of the amendment?

Comment by Mama Thursday, Jul 9, 15 @ 2:55 pm
I agree with Rep Hays. They should stay there until there is a passed budget. And without pay too. They can live on ramen noodles as well as everyone else affected by this mess.

=== Sandack says Lang’s “minion” and “enabler” terms are “beneath him and the chamber.” ===

And Sandack has been such a pillar of congeniality.

What was the bill # for the tax increase?

Comment by Mama Thursday, Jul 9, 15 @ 4:03 pm
Kay is definitely an expert of “foolish speech.”

=== MJM says he met with the governor today. Says he had a frank conversation, shared some advice and left on good terms.by Rich Miller 4:58 PM ===

Great, now Rauner will hold a press conference later accusing Madigan of cheating on Shirley.
