Illinois

U.S. Rep. Jesus “Chuy” Garcia, a Democrat from Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood, says he has faith in Illinois Senate President Don Harmon and Illinois Speaker of the House Chris “Emanuel” Welch – both of whom assumed their leadership positions within the past year or two.

“We’re going to have one of the most open and inclusive redistricting processes ever in Illinois,” Garcia said. “I am heartened by the leadership that we have in Illinois with a president of the Senate and a new speaker of the House who have committed to having real community engagement hearings … and recognizing the diversity of the populations in Illinois, specially across northern Illinois.”

“Open and inclusive.” Right.

They are including him. Doesn’t that count?

Maybe he’s saying it’s transparent that the process isn’t gonna be as advertised?

If that’s where he’s going, that’d be correct.

Well when the bar on openness and inclusivity is sooooo low, maybe its true that it will be the most ever! /s

I imagine when some of these claims were originally being made they had imagined having several more months to work with the results, hold meetings, etc.

They created this standard for themselves. It’s a pretty embarrassing self own, especially since the GOP rhetoric around their own super minority is built around unfair maps instead of the intellectual and moral bankruptcy of their party.

Count on Illinois to make New Jersey look like a paragon of transparent government.
