A press release from Governor Bruce Rauner:
Gov. Rauner Statement on Senate vote on SB 1905
Chicago (Oct. 24, 2017) – Governor Bruce Rauner issued the following statement following the Senate vote on SB 1905:
“Today’s vote could create a damaging loss for the economic competitiveness of Illinois.
Senate veto override vote on SB 1950. State Senators Pam Althoff and Karen McConnaughay changed their votes.
Senate Bill 1905 vote on original passage.
“Senate Bill 1905 would hurt all the people of our state through lost job opportunities, slower economic growth, a smaller statewide tax base and ultimately higher taxes in the future.
“This vote denies local communities – cities and counties – the ability to decide for themselves how they would like to structure their regulations to compete for jobs with other states like Indiana, Wisconsin, Tennessee and Texas.
“SB 1905 could be particularly devastating for communities in Illinois with high unemployment – Dolton, Danville, Decatur, Rockford, Englewood and Lawndale.
“We urge the House of Representative to uphold the veto and give Illinois a chance to empower local voters to compete for jobs in high need areas throughout the state.”

Contact Reick, Skillicorn, McSweeney to stand firm and get other GOP legislators in the House to stand firm and vote NO on the override.
Hope the GOP can get someone to challenge Althoff for the County Board seat she is now going after.
Depending on Reick for anything is a real trip.
