(Springfield, IL) — A suburban Chicago Democrat is apologizing after saying she wished another lawmaker’s family would get sick and die. State Rep. Stephanie Kifowit yesterday said she made a poor choice of words when she told a Republican lawmaker that she wished his family would get sick with Legionnaires’ disease and die. They were talking about a new law to raise the amount of money people could get from lawsuits against the state at the time. Kifowit says she lost herself in the debate.
