State Senator Dan McConchie (R-Hawthorn Woods) releases the following statement regarding the recent Supreme Court ruling on the Illinois redistricting initiative:
“The Illinois Supreme Court decided to block the voters’ opportunity to have a say on the Independent Map Amendment. With this being the final decision, I call on my fellow legislators in the General Assembly to explore other options. Hundreds of thousands of Illinoisans signed a petition to make the process of drawing legislative districts less political. The General Assembly has a duty to uphold the democratic process and give the people a voice on this matter.”
