Turns out 71 is a lot and becoming more lots each day.

I’ll be discussing this with the Governor when we meet. Can’t say for sure when. It’s a big building and I’m busy, busy.

86. 67. 47. Hutt, hutt, hutt.
Incomplete pass.

Sometimes when you win, you lose. And sometimes when you lose, you win. And sometimes, no one wins. This is one of those times.

“I’m down to 67 Dems. No super-majority. Welp, the governor showed me. He doesn’t have to worry about any overrides… “
Comment by Oswego Willy Tuesday, Nov 29, 16 @ 2:46 pm
Well it appears that the Republican’ts know who their pay master. It is obvious that a bill they overwhelmingly voted for previously suddenly became toxic.

This was a bi-partisan bill. The veto and override attempt were simply shows of power. Message received?

Governor Rauner does not respect the right of the citizens of Illinois to have their vote gerrymandered. By me.

The Speaker demonstrates the ‘whooshing’ sound of air escaping from the back wounds of the R legislators who were previously ‘yea’ on the bill.

“No, this wasn’t about the bill, it’s about 2018. Yeah, we’re printing the mailers now about the reps who want to suppress your vote. Over there? No I don’t think that’s Bettie Page, I think the real Bettie is much older. No, not as old as me…”

It is true. Coriolanus Snow will be running in 2018, bolstered by recent election trends.

Willy -
I think it is a leap to think that all 51 Republicans are gonna vote for the Rauner Agenda.
I bet fewer than half support his tax increase.
Comment by Juvenal Tuesday, Nov 29, 16 @ 4:18 pm
Shhh…I’m not here…
Comment by Commonsense in Illinois Tuesday, Nov 29, 16 @ 4:25 pm
- Juvenal -
Normally I’d agree…
But Rauner doesn’t want any $&@#% problems.
Probably all 51 for the TA, 45-46 for the Rauner Tax. Maybe.
With respect.

No. For the umpteenth time, I do not resemble John Rooney and the Governor is not Mike Sullivan.

I’m not so powerful that mushrooms I’ve allowed to vote against me won’t do so. We’ve already planned and paid for the mailers touting their independence.
Comment by Quizzical Tuesday, Nov 29, 16 @ 9:51 pm
Just because we have 71 Representatives does not mean all 71 will vote the same way. Reality - we can not over-ride Rauner’s veto’s without the Republican votes.
