Daily Herald Editorial: Talking about an IL revolution
January 29, 2010
None of us should want a few powerful people deciding who gets to represent us or what ideas get considered. We’re supposed to get to decide that for ourselves when we go to the ballot box, as we all should do Tuesday.
But an Illinois law to take effect next year gives too much control to already too-powerful legislative leaders and political parties in Illinois.
That campaign finance law placed limits on what everyone will be able to spend on primaries. But it created a gaping hole that allows for a power grab for the critical fall general elections. The law limits donations from everyone in general elections, except the four legislative leaders and political parties. They are not limited at all.
