State Rep. Fred Crespo, D-Hoffman Estates, is urging his colleagues to call on House Speaker Emanuel "Chris" Welch, D-Hillside, to resign as the chamber's leader over the handling of sexual harassment allegations made against ex-Rep. Harry Benton by a former district staffer.
Gov. JB Pritzker said on Wednesday that House Speaker Emanuel "Chris" Welch has "a responsibility to be utterly and completely transparent" about his handling of sexual harassment allegations made against ex-Rep. Harry Benton, D-Plainfield.
The Illinois AFL-CIO, one of the state’s largest labor organizations, released its list of endorsed candidates for the November general election on Monday.
Whether the ethics report that led to former Rep. Harry Benton’s downfall is released will be up to the Legislative Ethics Commission, LIG Mike McCuskey tells Capitol News Illinois.
Gov. JB Pritzker only had one scheduled meeting in May with the two main legislative negotiators of megaprojects legislation that would have allowed the Chicago Bears to negotiate and lock in a lower property tax payment for up to 40 years.
