Obama presidential library: Madigan and Rahm caught red-handed-

[edthecynic]

House Speaker Michael Madigan and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel tried to pull the wool over the eyes of every Illinoisan by dedicating $100 million of taxpayer dollars to the construction of Barack Obama’s presidential library, which the city of Chicago is vying for. Fortunately, they were caught red-handed.

According to the Rules of the Illinois House of Representatives, a committee cannot vote on a measure unless the proper posting requirements have been met and a quorum is present.At Thursday’s hearing, only four of the 10 committee members were present, yet somehow the legislation was recorded as passing unanimously, on a vote of 9-0. As of this morning, this false roll call has yet to be updated online to reflect the truth.

WTF? Seriously? I don't care where his library is or who gets it, but the above sounds really messed up.

The OP said 4 and your post says 5, which one of you is lying???

Another OCD Boy! Who gives a shit! They said the vote was 9-0 and it matters not if 4 or 5 were only present! Now this ass will dwell on minusa, just like the other brainless dolts!

Actually it does matter!!!!
If the "reporters" can't accurately report the number of members present, how exactly do they know there were not 9 present? Obviously at least 1 miscounted and possibly both.

Simple, because if you read it, the vote was part of the OFFICIAL MINUTES of the meeting, and NOT just reported on by a REPORTER! Reporters are known to make simple math mistakes. But the minutes of the meeting are not, especially THAT large a mistake! It only recorded 4 members present with a 9 vote majority! Even if 5 members were present, it would be the same!

Nine Illinois lawmakers vote to fund Obama library - but only five members in attendance

Nine representatives were recorded as voting for the bill, even though there were five lawmakers in attendance at the hearing. That is because Rep. Bob Rita (D-Blue Island), who chairs the Executive Committee, employed a procedural move.

Rita used the attendance record from a previous hearing that occurred Wednesday as the vote for the presidential library cash. House Speaker Michael Madigan, who sat in on today’s hearing, clarified Rita’s maneuver, saying the attendance would serve as nine votes in favor of the library, even though the previous committee hearing was on a possible Chicago casino and not related to a presidential library.

Can't stand the fact they decided to cheat their constituents and try some BS move, so you name call? LOL Whatever.

Here you go, more articles, perhaps you will believe MORE left leaning websites.


Quinn Staying Out Of Debate On Obama Presidential Library Subsidy

Governor Quinn is staying out of the argument over Thursday’s unusual Illinois House Executive Committee vote on state financing for an Obama presidential library.

The executive committee’s chair, State Rep. Robert Rita (D-Blue Island), resorted to a parliamentary maneuver, obtaining leave from those present to use the last roll call — even though the previous roll call had been the day before and involved a totally different subject, a proposed Chicago casino.

The four Republican members of the committee were not present for the Thursday vote, and State Rep. Ed Sullivan (R-Mundelein) said he would have voted no.

Quinn Staying Out Of Debate On Obama Presidential Library Subsidy « CBS Chicago

WASHINGTON — A move by Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan to muscle through a measure to appropriate $100 million from the cash-strapped state to help finance the construction of President Barack Obama’s presidential library and museum in Chicago is erupting into a controversy.

The backlash is strong enough that a committee vote Madigan engineered last Thursday in Chicago to advance the $100 million plan to the House floor now will be retaken in Springfield on April 30.

To make a long story short, Madigan invoked a parliamentary technique to use a roll call from the previous day to push the measure through the committee.

GOP lawmaker objects to 9-0 vote for Obama library

CHICAGO — At least one Republican lawmaker says he's filing a protest after an Illinois House committee recorded a 9-0 vote to commit $100 million to bring President Barack Obama's library to Chicago, even though only five Democrats — and none of the committee's four GOP members — were there.


Rep. Ed Sullivan of Mundelein said he didn't attend Thursday's hearing because a vote was not expected. He told WBEZ radio and the (Arlington Heights) Daily Herald he would have voted no because he opposes using public funds for the library, which will house Obama's presidential records and artifacts.


"The legacy of the Obama presidential library shouldn't be kicked off in a cloud of controversy," Sullivan told the Daily Herald (GOP lawmakers deny they voted to steer $100 million to Obama library - DailyHerald.com ) after Democrats used a procedural maneuver to record the 9-0 vote.

Sadly, it's how both parties have operated in this state for decades.

I remember when the First Mayor Daley denounced Pat Quinn as a "goo-goo", his name for Good Government types. Now Quinn does backroom deals like the best of them.
