STATE OF ILLINOIS
-- DIERSEN HEADLINE: VERY VERY VERY SAD: Fortner, Franks, Fritchey, Froehlich, Harmon, Hunter, Mendoza, and Sandoval sponsor HJR0111, a joint resolution that would direct "the Joint Committee to prepare materials relating to the question of calling a constitutional convention." Beyond tragically, if the Illinois Constitution were to be changed now, it would end up looking like a radical liberal version of the radical liberal Democrat Party platform - higher and higher and higher taxes; more and more and more people attracted to Illinois who demand more and more and more welfare - people who lack education and job skills and people who have severe health, financial, and other problems.
