From Steve Rauschenberger, President of the Technology & Manufacturing Association:
TMA President Steve Rauschenberger issued the following statement today in response to the General Assembly’s passage early this morning of HB 3360, legislation that will help trial attorneys by increasing litigation costs on Illinois businesses:
“As the lame duck session was coming to an end, Springfield politicians again passed special interest legislation in the middle of the night that will make the cost of doing business in Illinois more expensive.
“As a parting gift to the trial lawyers, Speaker Mike Madigan pushed through HB 3360 which allows plaintiffs and their attorneys to charge 9% interest on any settlement or verdict starting from the date of the injury in a personal injury or wrongful death claim.
“This legislation goes against long-standing law in Illinois and would open up business owners to additional costs at a time when many are already struggling due to COVID-19 and other regulatory actions by the state.
“We strongly encourage Governor Pritzker to veto it, and urge the General Assembly to focus this new legislative session on helping businesses thrive and create jobs instead of continuing to threaten them with added taxes and regulations.”
Imagine that; Lawyers looking out for lawyers. Dirt bags.
Well lets just TRIPLE DIP before the door hits you in the ass ! and these stupids let it go… and then they wonder why they are called the swamp… ..
Joe Blow, you are one of the biggest dirt bags here , not because you trash lawyer, who should be trashed, but because you are a Township loser.
