Senator, are you Majority Leader or not? (pt. 3)
Once again State Senator Debbie (I’m the “go-to person” only when it’s convenient for me) Halvorson is caught shirking her duties as Majority Leader in the State Senate.
The deadline for the Illinois State Senate, led by Emil Jones and Debbie Halvorson, to reject lawmaker pay hikes came and went Saturday. Now Senator Halvorson and Rod Blagojevich are in line for fat pay hikes throughout the next year.
Senator Halvorson claims no one will receive pay hikes because the senate did not include any money into the budget. However, she did nothing to stand up and ensure that the pay hikes did not take effect.
Once again we find Senator Halvorson just doesn’t get it. As Majority Leader, Halvorson has claimed she is the “go-to person” in the senate yet she did nothing to ensure a vote on rejecting the pay hikes.
This once again begs the question: Senator, are you the Majority Leader?

Politicians need to be held “Accountable For There Actions”! I’m all for being loyal to a friend or co-worker, but I usually let them know if they “Cross The Line” all bets are off, especially if they break the law.
