* From the Tribune…
Colleagues say that outgoing Rep. David Miller has been released from a Springfield hospital and is resting at home after he collapsed on the Senate floor as lawmakers debated an income tax increase early this morning. […]
Colvin said Miller had been suffering from a respiratory illness for several weeks and doctors think he coughed so hard that it may have disrupted a nerve, which cut off his oxygen supply to the brain.
Colvin said Miller had lost consciousness for several minutes, but did not stop breathing. He said Miller quickly returned to his easy-going self, though some senators were upset they could not accompany him to the hospital because of the looming tax vote.
It’s really good to know he’s OK. Those were some very scary moments last night.
