Reporters were barred from a meeting of the full Illinois senate this morning, so that “bipartisanship” might be achieved, explained Oak Park’s Don Harmon, an assistant senate majority leader and Democratic committeeman.
Harmon said the meeting was closed solely to avoid “political posturing” on the issues of the state’s finances and budget deficit.
“There was virtually no posturing, as we often find in open meetings,” he said, adding: “It remains to be seen what people do in public.”
Those damn open meetings with their posturing.
