Next time, you better show up for work if a similar bill is presented after ACSFME is locked out by the Governor.
On the other hand, if Governor Rauner negotiates a truly fair contract, there won’t need to be a next time.

Black voters in Dunkin’s don’t likely have cushy labor jobs, if any job at all. So labor can whine but likely can’t win in Ken’s House District.

Maybe he should have shown up then, to protect their child care while they work those poor paying jobs or try to get an education to break the cycle..or did you miss that vote was the same day and lost by ONE.

If Madigan can be reelected in a 80% Hispanic seat every 2 years, I think Dunkin can manage to hang on too.
I think Jack Franks would have voted present in any scenario.

Many in the GOP respect the actual Union workers, who bust their hides in bad weather etc..
It is the Union bosses wearing $2k Armani suits, that give the whole thing a bad rap.

After missing some key votes in Springfield, Rep. Ken Dunkin (D-for Done) raises his arm strategically at a recent parade, covering up an unfortunate typo in a sign that read “Duckin’”
