*** UPDATED x3 *** WBEZ: About 20 percent of Illinois legislators, mainly in the House, won’t say if they’re vaccinated or not
Wednesday, Aug 11, 2021 - Posted by Rich Miller * WBEZ asked all 177 state legislators if they’ve been vaccinated. About 20 percent didn’t respond…
First, surveys generally do not produce 100 percent response rates. Some of these folks may very well be vaxed and just didn’t respond for any number of reasons. Some may feel that it’s private information. Some may not want to admit being vaccinated. I do not know if we should assume the unresponsive are not vaxed, but they didn’t respond, so they’ve basically given us the go-ahead to assume whatever the heck we want. * Let’s go over the list of unresponsive legislators, starting with House Democrats…
From earlier this week…
Flowers is a Deputy Majority Leader. * Unresponsive House Republicans…
* Unresponsive Senate Republicans…
Sen. Bailey has said elsewhere that he’s not vaccinated. * One House Republican says he is not vaccinated…
If any legislator on this unresponsive list would like to contact me, I will make note of it here. I’ve also asked the spokespersons for all four legislative leaders to comment on WBEZ’s story and will post those as they are received. *** UPDATE 1 *** House Speaker Chris Welch’s spokesperson Jaclyn Driscoll…
*** UPDATE 2 *** Senate President Don Harmon…
*** UPDATE 3 *** Leader Dan McConchie…
