Most legislators are worthless. I watched them walk around and act like bigshots in Springfield pretending they are so concerned. They take orders from Madigan and thuse are paid to be willing slaves. They never reduce costs of anything only increase costs and claim that's wonderful.

CK - The individual members could speak up more (assuming it is part of their personality) and thereby risk support ($$$ and people) in the next election cycle. An example of public service turning instead into self-service. Considering all that has gone on in IL, too bad for us, too bad for our democracy.
