A NEW PROPOSAL TO GIVE VOTERS MORE POWER TO REMOVE CORRUPT PUBLIC OFFICIALS IS IN THE WORKS. 

SENATOR JASON BARICKMAN OF BLOOMINGTON IS INTRODUCING THREE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS THAT CREATE A PROCESS FOR RECALLING ELECTED OFFICIALS STATEWIDE, AS WELL AS THE ILLINOIS AUDITOR GENERAL, HOUSE SPEAKER AND SENATE PRESIDENT. HE SAYS THE PUBLIC IS CLAMORING FOR THE CHANGE.

REPRESENTATIVE MARK BATINICK OF PLAINFIELD SAYS CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS BEING DRAFTED CREATE A PROCESS TO RECALL ELECTED OFFICIALS STATEWIDE, THE AUDITOR GENERAL, SENATE PRESIDENT AND HOUSE SPEAKER.

THE AMENDMENTS ARE STILL BEING DRAFTED BUT WILL REQUIRE SIGNATURES FROM A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE OF VOTERS TO RECALL AN OFFICIAL.
