(Springfield, IL) — One of the Quad Cities’ Republicans in Springfield says there is no way Illinois lawmakers should get a raise this year. State Senator Steve Anderson said last week that it is immoral for the legislature to be considering a cost of living increase. Especially when Illinois has more than eight billion-dollars in unpaid bills. Anderson is one of a handful of Illinois Republicans who are sponsoring a plan to block a COLA increase or adjustments for lawmaker reimbursements this spring.
