OK, lemme try it this way ...
One man has been leading the local legislature for 30 YEARS... ONE MAN! He decides how everything is played out.
He decides WHEN bills get put forth. In this particular case it was a 200 page bill they had worked on for over a year
and at the last minute (hour) after they legislators had worked on the bi-partisan bill, House Speaker Michael Madigan
introduced a very different bill with changes made to the proposed bill previously worked on.
Basically Madigan tried to pull a bait & switch, but Bost had had enough.

There is a ton of info on this. I just can't be bothered to write it all out.

This may also explain how effed up what Madigan has been doing for YEARS.

even Chicago Democrats - came in and said, 'We want to say this but we can't.'"
Here - maybe this too will help...


Go to about the minute mark for the interview.
