Stand up to stupidity in Springfield
Why is the Republican and Democratic representation in Illinois so weak that it cannot show Governor Quinn that demanding no fare increases if seniors making above poverty level lose their free ride is just plain stupid.
If public transportation is to be held accountable for holding the line on revenue while facing increased expenses, why isn't the larger body, the state government, held to the same level of accountability?
The free rides were a political ploy of Rod Blagojevich, and he is gone.
I am beginning to believe that maybe sending every one of you to the unemployment line the next time you are up for election is the only way to get any common sense and backbone in Springfield.
