Thanks for the update Rich. I was busy watching the Sox becoming the team with the best record in baseball.

On the FOID bill Hoffman had it wrong in the debate - the buyer is responsible to go to the FFL…
“Provides that any person within this State who receives any firearm, stun gun, or taser from a person who is not a federally licensed firearm dealer shall provide a record of the transfer within 10 days of the transfer to a federally licensed firearm dealer”

So the Republicans want to back Mayor Lightfoot on an elected school board? I mean, OK.

Mayor Lightfoot,
There ain’t gonna be no “pardon” from no governor.
Elected school board, candidate Lightfoot is ecstatic.

==So the Republicans want to back Mayor Lightfoot on an elected school board?==
