If you haven't heard already, SB 600 was not called for a vote yesterday in the Senate Elections Committee. Senator Maggie Crotty (D-Oak Forest), chairman of Elections, says she held yesterday's vote in response to pressure from higher level Senate Republicans, although not Minority Leader Christine Radogno, CapitalFax reports.
In the meantime, four Republican Senate co-sponsors pulled their names off -- Bill Brady, Randy Hultgren, Dan Duffy and Matt Murphy. The next meeting for Elections has not yet been scheduled.
