* Center Square…
Durkin said $3 billion in projects for only districts with Democratic lawmakers is wrong, and a reminder of how Madigan ran things for decades as House Speaker.
In a section of the nearly 3,500 page budget where spending from the federal American Rescue Plan Act is spelled out, Republicans offered some examples.
Spending in that section includes $8 million for Navy Pier, $15 million for the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont
The Donald E. Stephens Convention Center is in a House district represented by the late Donald Stephens’ son, Rep. Bradley Stephens (R-Rosemont). I mean, yeah, it’s in a Democratic Senate district, but Brad is a Republican.

“a reminder”
Seems more like a reminder that republicans have no actual (popular) legislative ideas of their own, and continue to use Madigan to distract from that.
“Republicans offered some examples.”
Oddly none of their examples include any of the SEVENTY different line item disbursements that come up when searching ‘Church”.

Poor Durkin, since MJM retired he can’t find meaning in his life.

For how long did the GOP consider “The Kingdom of Stephens” to be “hostile” territory?

If you voted against the funding, you shouldn’t whine when your district doesn’t get any. That’s what you voted for

A day will come when Republicans grow up and actually try governing, but it is not this day.
