As it became clear that the Nekritz pension bomb was going to die in the Illinois House, Democratic Representative Elaine Nekritz has found another way to piss on the Illinois Constitution.
She has filed an amendment that would set up a committee that would write its own pension killing bill and which would automatically take effect if the General Assembly did nothing, that is, took no vote aye or nay.
What does the law say about that:
The General Assembly shall enact laws only by bill. Bills may originate in either house, but may be amended or rejected by the other.
No bill shall become a law without the concurrence of a majority of the members elected to each house. Final passage of a bill shall be by record vote. In the Senate at the request of two members, and in the House at the request of five members, a record vote may be taken on any other occasion. A record vote is a vote by yeas and nays entered on the journal.
Will the House vote for this crap?
We will see soon enough.

Looks like she’s taking a page from the Obama Administration, and forming a “Super Committee,” which was itself questionable.
I’d say send in the clowns, but it why bother? They’re here. That’s a great picture of her, by the way. She looks like she’s pointing some retiree to where the catfood is.
Piscal Cliff ???
(and thanks for all the fish …)
Photo…audition for a role in the Wizard of Oz?
Dear God,
May I live to see the day Nekritz eats cat food.
Good idea, j–she may need a career change after this debacle!
