The Three Trap Doors of Springfield
Springfield doesn’t just pass bad policy — it has developed trap doors to help politicians escape transparency and accountability. Last-minute amendments. Rushed votes. Backroom maneuvers. Illinois families deserve better than government by political gamesmanship.
