Lawmakers play games in Springfield budget fray
The piece critiques Illinois legislators for signaling through a rushed budget vote tied to Madigan and Rauner. It cites seen on TV gaming by reps Cloonen and Smiddy, condemns secret working groups, and argues many lawmakers waste time while taxpayers fund debates. The tone frames the session as opaque and self-serving.
