A discussion today covered the Illinois Governor and the ongoing labor issues along with the events that affect the state in general. The governor has been loudly booed by labor unions affected by upcoming Prison closures and other budget issues. The Illinois Dupublicans are positioning themselves to attempt a take over of the Governors office and the Legislature however nothing will change as I have seen no indication of the Dupublicans making any concerted effort “fix” anything. The two parties (Scamocrats and Dupublicans) have failed to live up to the bargain made with the people and that is to represent them and insure we receive the services and assistance we pay our taxes for. The only solution is to remove as many tenured Legislators as possible regardless of party and start fresh with some one new. We need to be willing to do this every election year until we get what we need. Our goal needs to be people who are willing to make changes in the State constitution that require term limits and salary changes that reflect a parity with their constituents. The term limits I believe make sense is a single term of 13 years and no pension beyond what they contribute to and social security like the rest of us. Their expense budget needs to be reviewed to eliminate any funds that may exceed what is absolutely necessary to get their official work done. Any other funding needs to be approved the people. Our part in this is to stop the “me” grab of services and allow the system to take care of all us and especially the most needy.
