From what I've seen, you appear to be living in an alternate universe. Little Lisa has been a worthless Democrat Party hack who uses her position to "go after" successful businesses rather than corruption, looks the other way at Daddy's dictatorial regime, and is to the LEFT of her daddy ideologically. I would rank her as the WORST elected official in the executive branch, hands down.
On to the substance of this article, meh, I’m not too upset. We’ve seen what “fair redistricting” had done in AZ and CA. In CA it was better for the dems than maps drawn by the dem leg because the independent commission was able to maximize rat seats thanks to ignoring the need to protect a few incumbent rats.
The IL commission would have been chosen in the following way according to Ballotpedia.com.
An 11 member commission
3 people chosen from a “random pool of names” by the State Auditor General (a shadowy position appointed by the General Assembly, the post may be more powerful than the elected positions of Comptroller and Treasurer, and most people don’t know it exits) would appoint 7 members of the commission from “a different random pool of 100 registered Illinois voters”.
You know what this reminds me of? The way they chose the DOGE OF VENICE back in the day. WTH!
The remaining 4 members would be elected by the General Assembly.
Raise your hand if you think this commission would have been likely to lead to more Republican seats. My hand is down.
Bill, I agree with everything that you said about AG Madigan.
instead of the ag spot daddy shoulda just bought her a pony
