A recall of a sitting governor…where was the last state that happened (we know, do you?)? From the Daily Herald:
State lawmakers could vote by the end of this week on a plan giving voters the power to recall the governor.
A proposed constitutional amendment was filed Wednesday and House leaders expect a vote in the coming days. This comes a year after the Illinois House approved a broader recall plan that was ultimately shot down in the Illinois Senate.
“If any state needs to give voters the power to recall … it’s Illinois,” said state Rep. Jack Franks, a Marengo Democrat and sponsor.
