A Bloomington State Senator calls Governor Pritzker's Safe-T Act, which abolishes cash bail, an "overreach." According to State Senator Jason Barickman, he suspects Democrats would soon come to the negotiating table after the election.

Citing an uptick in crime across the country, Senator Barickman said the Safe-T Act would only skew things more in favor of the accused. In 2021, Gov. Pritzker signed the bill, authored by the Illinois Legislative Black Caucus and approved by the Illinois General Assembly.
