A group of House Republicans held an after session press conference on Friday to wrap up the week’s action in Springfield, however they didn’t expect to be done with the day’s work as quickly as they were.   

State Representative Dan Brady (R-Normal) talked about the Democrat update the previous day and how the Democrats are once again cramming gerrymandered district maps down the throats of Illinois residents.

Following a six minute and 30 second session day, the group planned to talk about things important to the state such as redistricting, the LaSalle Veterans Home tragedy, the continued FOID card fiasco, and ethics reform but they felt the need to mention the fact with all of the issues facing the state and with only two weeks remaining in the spring legislative session, Democrat leaders chose to gavel in/gavel out and send everyone home.
