One of the first orders of business for the Illinois Senate, as it began the 100th General Assembly, was to institute a term limits rules.
Starting this year, Senate leaders are now limited to serving only ten years. State Senator Chapin Rose did not let up when it comes to blaming House Speaker Mike Madigan for the state's situation.
Sen. Rose calls the legislation unprecedented and calls on the House of Representatives to follow suit.
The Senate's term limits are only applied to leadership positions and the rule goes into effect starting this year.
