Illinois Senate halts plan to place state offices under personnel rules
The Illinois Senate defeated a bill to place offices including secretary of state under the personnel code. Sponsor Sen. Coulson amended the measure to limit merit rules, but the proposal fell short of the 30 votes. A separate bill to end precinct registration downstate potentially saves counties money, backed by Sen. Graham.
