Sen. Rose Amused by Democrats Bungling Spring Legislative Agenda

A central Illinois lawmaker is comically captivated by Illinois Democrats bungling several key issues they sought to accomplish with a continued super-majority across the Illinois legislature.

 

State Sen. Chapin Rose says Illinois Democrats had a horrible end of session and Senators were called back for a special session to address the energy bill they did not pass. He says they are not well organized right now. 

 

 

The Mahomet Republican indicates Illinois Democrats are starting to learn their radical agenda is not only overwhelmingly rejected by Illinoisans.

 

 

There are just a limited number of coal plants left in Illinois and Sen. Rose says this invokes the absurdity of Illinois Democrats' efforts to end carbon. He says all the places that use coal for their electricity will be going to providers outside of Illinois for their energy and those sources will likely be carbon.

 

 

Sen. Rose found it amusing Illinois Democrats seemed to pit the 'new guard allies versus the 'old-guard allies. With super-majorities across the board plus the gubernatorial election next year, Sen. Rose believes something will get done but could only chuckle at the disorganization.

 

 

For those concerned about the Exelon Nuclear Power Station in Clinton, Sen. Rose says there is no correlation between this legislation and the Clinton Power Plant. He also notes the legislation has taken out previsions removing local control regarding zoning of wind in each community.
