The House of Representatives for the Illinois General Assembly voted to restore funding on September 10, 2008. A "Yea" vote is for yes. A "Nay" vote is for no. The State of Illinois, 95th General Assembly, House Roll Call for this vote is 118 members. There were 113 "Yea" votes, 0 "Nay" votes, and 5 excused absences. The excused absences went to:
Representative Suzanne Bassi,54th Dist - Republican
Representative Mike Fortner, 95th Dist - Republican
Representative Elizabeth Hernandez, 24th Dist - Democrat
Representative Sandra Pihos, 42nd Dist - Republican
Representative Angelo Saviano, 77th Dist - Republican
I guess this issue was not important enough for these Representatives to show up for the service we pay them to participate in that affect our lives.
