Rep. Brady Continues To Push Republicans Budget Proposal

While Illinois House members waited to hear word on the budget during day two of Special Session at the Capitol, the only thing they heard during the extremely short session was Majority Leader Barbara Flynn Currie (D-Chicago) encouraging House Republican Leader Jim Durkin to go to the governor’s office and tell him to “lay down his arms and negotiate a budget.”   
 
Instead of calling budget bills, Democratic leadership hosted a Committee of the Whole meeting where workers, business and executive directors testified about reforming workers comp.  So, in connection to that, State Representative Dan Brady (R-Bloomington) took time to talk about workers comp reform in the House Republican jobs creation package.
 
 
Rep. Brady says lawmakers need to find common ground in causation in the workers compensation bill.
 
 
The Republican from Bloomington says it allows the employers to run businesses as they see fit.
 
 
The system would eliminate changing the system every five years and would create long-term longevity.
 
Rep. Brady calls the continuous session more of the same as leadership continues to hold committee of hte whole meetings.
