When Democrats in the Illinois House voted in a new Speaker in January, many lawmakers on both sides of the aisle were optimistic a new era would follow.
But three months later, Republicans claim they’re still being treated unfairly by Democrats who hold supermajorities in both the Illinois House and Senate.
Following the election of Speaker Chris Welch (D-Hillside), the Illinois House passed a number of rule changes for its spring legislative session, including allowing remote committee work during the pandemic and calling for term limits on legislative leaders.
But Republicans complain the new rules don’t go nearly far enough. GOP members say true reform would mean their bills would get a fair shot at making it out of committee.
