Last in the Shuffle

A actual, unretouched screencap from the Lake County Gazette:

Sen. McConchie-sponsored law amending the State Treasurer Act goes into effect on Jan. 1, 2020

Granted truth may be stranger than fiction, but that doesn't change the fact that the Lake County Gazette is your #1 source of fiction in Lake County.

With that in mind, how does any Republican State Senator ...

1. Sponsor a Bill
2. Get that Bill Passed
3. See the Bill Signed into Law
4. ... by a Democratic Governor?

Well, State Senator Dan McConchie proved it can be done. The trick is to do it in reverse order:

1. Bill is Passed
2. Bill is Signed into Law
3. McConchie Sponsors the Bill

Bill Status of HB2237 :: 101st General Assembly

McConchie was added as a sponsor to HB2237 four days after it was signed into law!

That's how it is done, son.

In related news, State Senator Dan McConchie is predicting that ...

• The Bears will lose their opening game.
• Marijuana will be legal in Illinois by the end of the year.
• Donald Trump will say something stupid.

Note to Ops: You heard it here first!
