(Du Quoin, IL) — A Southern Illinois lawmaker is planning to add to a so-called “Blue Lives Matter” bill in the fall legislative session. State Senator Dave Luechtefeld announced Tuesday he’ll add first responders to the group of individuals who would receive additional protection from discrimination if the bill passes. The bill currently only focuses on police officers. The City of Chicago is considering similar legislation.
