SPRINGFIELD â Republican Rep. Tim Butler on Thursday accused the new Democratic leadership in the state House of Representatives of preserving practices from previous leadership which Republicans say unfairly benefits the majority party.
âSo, what the speaker said back in January about this place being different and running in a different manner is a bunch of BS right now,â Butler said in a Thursday night floor speech during which he threw a paper calendar and pounded his desk out of anger.
Butler said Democrats have âignoredâ important bills sponsored by Republicans, preventing them from being called for a vote on the House floor.

Maybe Governor Bailey will lead a new GOP majority into the house so future hissy-fits can be avoided.
I’d be much more in favor of township consolidation, if it also transferred the rights given to townships under the state constitution to whatever the township is being merged into.
