State Representative Dan Brady Wednesday voted “no” on majority-crafted House Rules that will continue to shut out Representatives from the minority party and the millions of constituents they represent. The Normal Republican says the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Rep. Brady and House Republicans had offered changes for House rules to ensure all members’ constituents would have a voice in their government by ensuring rights of Members to have their bills called in Committee, equire notice to the Members and Public on what will be up for action in committee and on the Floor, creating a waiting period for Floor Amendments, Concurrence and Budget Bills, and increase the ability of members to debate legislation on the House Floor.
