State crime bill fails again in Illinois Senate vote
Gov. George Ryan’s bid to re enact the Safe Neighborhoods Act stalled as the Illinois Senate fell short of the required supermajority by five votes. Only 31 senators voted yes, with 17 no and several present or not voting. Ryan pledged to push the measure again when the General Assembly reconvenes, while opponents argued the gun control provisions could be challenged in court.
