PeoriaPunditRadio: Pro and con on the Con-Con
Bethany Jaeger writes on the Illinois Issues blog about a debate between Lt. Gov. Patrick Quinn and former comptroller Dawn Clark Netsch on whether voters should approve a new Constitutional Convention when they go to the polls in November. Quinn favors a Con-Con while Netsch is opposed.
Meanwhile, I recalled this post from Peoria blogger Brad Carter expressing his opposition to a Con-Con, as well as his intention to seek to become a delegate if there is one. He’s worried a Con-Con could lead to mandating additional government responsibilities and spending.
Perhaps Mr. Carter will call in during the Peoria Pundit Radio show at 6 p.m. Sunday. He can ask a few pointed questions of John Bambenek of the Illinois Citizen’s Coalition, who has taken a pro con-con position. The number is (347) 326-9459.
