|
SPRINGFIELD, IL – News that Gov. Rod Blagojevich and Illinois lawmakers could soon see a new pay raise is meeting with strong opposition from State Sen. Gary Dahl (R-Granville).

This would be the second legislative pay raise in recent years – last year, the Governor signed a 10 percent pay hike for lawmakers. |

The legislation also forbids state contractors from donating to the campaigns of challengers to those statewide officeholders. |
