Hi Everybody,
Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan, who had said she hadn't decided
whether to appeal, said Wednesday that she disagreed with Quinn. She
said she wants to wait for lawmakers to come up with and act on a
concealed-carry proposal first -- even though she thinks that Illinois'
law -- which prohibits the concealed carry of weapons in public -- is
constitutional.
"If the Legislature passes a bill, then appealing would not necessarily
be something we need to do, because it would become moot," she said.
Madigan's comments come as she's weighing a Democratic primary challenge
against Quinn in next year's gubernatorial election. Madigan -- also a
Chicago Democrat who wants an assault weapons ban -- has been a
prominent attorney general who appeared on the national stage in
connection with a range of issues, including home foreclosures. Her
father, House Speaker Michael Madigan, is the head of the Democratic
Party in Illinois and arguably the most powerful Democrat in the state.
