Illinois Republicans Propose Constitutional Amendment for Voters

Illinois statehouse Republicans are wanting to empower voters to hold corrupt elected officials accountable. State Sen. Jason Barickman and state Rep. Mark Batinick joined with the Illinois Opportunity Project to promote a proposed constitutional amendment with a process of allowing local voters to petition to recall local elected officials up and down the ballot. Senate Joint Resolution Constitutional Amendment 3 would also allow for the recall of the Illinois Auditor General.
