Sen. Rose Sounds Off on JCAR, Redistricting

For State Senator Chapin Rose, the JCAR ruling on new teaching policies has him worried. 

 

He spoke to Regional Radio News about some of the issues that he sees with not just the new JCAR ruling, but also Mike Madigan and what redistricting he would like to see. Rose says that JCAR shouldn’t have bent to the will of just a few people.

 

 

Putting kids in private schools or leaving the state altogether are some options on the table for Illinoisans. Sen. Rose calls it just another race to the bottom for failure for public education in Illinois.

 

 

When it comes to public policy, Rose calls former speaker Madigan is the poster child of term limits. He hopes a term-limits bill passes to keep a Mike Madigan from happening to Illinois again.

 

 

In addition to reforming term-limits, redistricting reform will go a long way towards hearing your voice heard more. He believes politicians should not be involved in drawing up legislative maps.

 

 

Sen. Rose was disappointed the spring legislative cycle contained zero discussion regarding COVID efforts in the State of Illinois and instead focused on issues like JCAR and defunding the police.
