From Beverly Perlson: Folks, after several conversations with Governor Rauner’s office, I can report that the Muslim Advisory Council legislation (SB574) that was sitting on the governor’s desk, is dead for now.
What all Illinois voters should know is that this bill, SB574, passed the House and the Senate overwhelmingly, and it was Democrat Senator Terry Link who effectively killed the bill. In a conversation with a rep in Link’s office, he reported there were many technical problems with the bill, one of which was that it violated house rules!
Thanks for posting this. I also was shocked as to how many Republicans (aka Combine) voted for this. I felt is was unconstitutional but would Princess Lisa really go after it after Daddy passed it? Yeah right! I asked the Governor how many Shia, Sunni, and Wahhabi would be appointed. I asked that when a Catholic Commission was formed, could I be considered for appointment. I got the stock blah-blah form letter back. This state is screwed up, and Rauner is absolutely incompetent. We are SO screwed.
It all starts at the community/state level. Hopefully things will clean up nation wide with President Trump! I hope to live long enough (I'm 75) to see the death of the DEM party and the complete booting out of every Republican who are DEMS in disguise!
