State Senator Chapin Rose (R-Mahomet) released the following statement after Democrats rammed through their updated legislative map:
“If you’ve had any remaining belief that Illinois Democrats cared even the slightest bit about democracy or the voices of the people of Illinois, it’s gone now. They have once again held a series of farcical public hearings, many with next to no public notice. Then they went right back behind closed doors, ignored the pleas of their own constituents, and drew a new map that is designed to do only one thing: maintain the Democrats’ stranglehold over the people of Illinois.”
