Editorial Finds Fault With Fair Housing Bill Roadblock
The piece assails the Illinois Senate Republican leadership for killing fair housing and open occupancy bills in the Licensing and Miscellany Committee. It argues the panel, led by Sen.

The editorial predicts no hostile committee opposition in future sessions and upholds the goal of open occupancy and equal residence rights.
