* Both the House Speaker and the Senate President have said they want a shortened and lighter spring session next year. Well, click here for the 2022 Senate calendar. They start spring session on January 4 and will adjourn on April 8. Expect them to come back for a brief period in May to do the budget.

I’ve been covering Illinois politics since 1990 and the earliest adjournment I’ve ever seen was April 15 when Pate Philip ran the Senate.

*** UPDATE *** As expected, the House has the same schedule…

1. Wow. We are going to sprint out of the gate. (Interestingly, lots of other states have three month sessions).

   And the rats were probably running rampant in the Rathskeller.

6. So how many statewide associations are now scrambling because they planned their lobby day in May? I know this will be viewed as a great change but this can also be viewed as another hit to Springfield’s downtown businesses.

7. There is some well-earned relaxing for the DPI, who has that luxurious super-majority and governor, and passed so much of its agenda. There will be much to run on next year.

   Maybe for the sake, health, and safety of all state employees who work in the complex, they could just hold another virtual rally day next year. Especially in case we get another COVID wave this winter.

9. Gotta’ do what is best for the politicians of course. Honestly, who cares about the people of Illinois?
