A few weeks after Carleton and Business-Civic Council, the senator faced citizens at the Oak Park Library in a town hall gathering of his scheduling, accompanied by one of Oak Park’s two state representatives, Camille Lilly.
The audience was largely but not entirely true-blue supporters of Democrat programs, about a quarter of them government-employment retirees (they raised hands at the senator’s request), with heavy personal stake in pension fund solvency.
Lilly deserves some explanation. . . . .

Abp. Cupich among the dissidents: How will he hold up?
Abp. Cupich to Offer Mass for Leftist Catholic Event.
RIVER FOREST, Ill., June 16, 2015 (ChurchMilitant.com) – Archbishop Blase Cupich of the Chicago archdiocese will be participating at an event for Catholic dissenters.
The event, called “New Faces, New Voices, New Ways of Being Church,” will take place October 24 at Dominican University, and includes a line-up of dissenting Catholics who support gay “marriage” and women’s ordination, among other causes.
What if he smilingly jousts with these invitees, asking important questions of them, leaving no doubt as to where he stands?
Or what if he makes it another step in the ongoing march toward popularity?
Pope F. won’t be the coal miners’ pope . . .
. . . if he’s canonized, won’t be their patron saint either, to go by his coming letter to the world, where:
He writes that there is an “urgent and compelling” need for policies that reduce carbon emissions, among other ways, by “replacing fossil fuels and developing sources of renewable energy.”
You know, like the pope of Holy Communion, of peace, that sort of thing.
Well look, even pontiffs have to lie in the beds they make.
