* Hmm…
On #NetNeutrality in IL:
Some were worried over a lack of movt on @RepAnnWilliams' HB4819, requiring state vendors to disclose NN policy.
But it came out of House Rules Cmte and moved to 2nd reading 5/14.

* Other bills…
* Bill to exempt Illinois veterans groups from city bans on video gambling passes Senate: Many American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars posts across Illinois already have video gambling, but some municipalities and counties have banned it. The idea behind the legislation is to give veterans organizations another source of revenue.
* Police Gang Databases Under Fire In Statehouse Bill: Illinois legislators are taking up a measure to change the way police gather information for gang databases. It comes after more than a year of controversy surrounding the Chicago Police Department’s data collection practices.
* IL Lawmakers to Vote on Equality Issues: Human rights dvocates are hoping legislation that would advance the voices of women and the LGBT community will make it as far as Gov. Bruce Rauner’s desk, and if it does, they’re urging him to sign the bills. Rep. Anna Moeller is co-author of SB 3249, which would require lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender history to be taught in public schools. The Elgin Democrat says it means Illinois students would learn about the significant historical events and contributions by LGBTQ people.

Per SB 3249: Isn’t Greek and Roman history already being taught in schools?
And most great artists or poets have been included regardless of their sexual orientation.
I think a person’s contributions should stand on their own without the need of delving into that person’s sexual orientation.

HB4819 is weak. ISP’s only have to disclose terms on their site.

I would agree wih A Jack on their comment, what does a person’s sexual orientation has to do with their accomplishment.
