| | | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2014 April 29 | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | Illinois Senate Republican Leader Christine Radogno (R-Lemont) today testified in support of her constitutional amendment, SJRCA 69, before the Senate Executive Subcommittee on Constitutional Amendments. The constitutional amendment would have allowed Illinois voters to choose whether or not they support term limits for the states constitutional officers on the November ballot. The Amendment ultimately failed to make it out of subcommittee on a partisan vote of 2-1, with Democrat lawmakers voting against the legislation. | | | | Date Created: | 04-29-2014 | | | | Agency ID: | 483**14 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000053253 Original UID: 174522 FIRST WORD: Illinois | |

| | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2014 May 7 | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | Illinois State Senator Sam McCann (R-Carlinville) filed new legislation Wednesday which would allow the comptroller to use unexpected revenue to finally pay $112 million in back wages for state workers and pay down the backlog of old bills. Multiple judges and arbitrators have ruled that the state owes approximately $112 million to employees. The Department of Corrections staff alone represent more than $82 million of the back-pay. Nearly $7.4 million is owed to employees in the 50th Senate District represented by McCann. McCann is sponsor of a bill that was filed in 2013 to pay the wages. That legislation was bottled up by Democrat leaders in the Senate and has not been called for a vote. Also addressing the press were Senators Dave Luechtefeld (R-Okawville) and Sue Rezin (R-Morris). | | | | Date Created: | 05-07-2014 | | | | Agency ID: | 539**14 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000053255 Original UID: 174524 FIRST WORD: Illinois | |
