* WSPY…
Oswego Republican State Representative Keith Wheeler says Democratic Illinois House Speaker Emanuel “Chris” Welch stopped by an open house at his North Aurora Office of Friday in a gesture of bipartisanship.
Wheeler says it’s the first time in decades that anyone can recall that a Democratic House Speaker attended a Republican colleague’s event. Wheeler says the visit is not just symbolic and that he and Speaker Welch have worked together to pass legislation already. Previously, Wheeler has told WSPY news that he has a good working relationship with Welch, something he did not have with former Speaker Mike Madigan.
* Leader Durkin was also there. Accompanying pic…

More this please. Bipartisanship is a lost art in politics these days. A lot of polarization unfortunately.

Can we assume this will send all the GOPie whack jobs into a frenzy. The Gomers will want to work a big bonfire dance to copy Kevin McCarthy attacks on Liz Cheney.

Speaker Welch was flattered, albeit confused, by the request to be in every picture that was taken at the event. It had not occurred to him that he was mistaken as a Black Republican.

The last time Jim Durkin was in Oswego was when he was picking up Tom Cross’ spare keys to the Capitol offices.

Snacks? Where are the masks?

Maybe this will buy a week long détente from the HRO pressers that hit find and replace on Madigan.

I will admit, that was my first reaction to the photo as well. Even fully vaxxed myself, it is taking my brain a hot minute to get used to the idea that vaxxed people can gather safely indoors and unmasked.

Pretty sure they’re all vaxed.
