Vote YES on Recall

Tribune editorial today urging that the Illinois Senate pass the House-approved recall measure to get it on the fall ballot, with this note to Senate leader Emil Jones:

The Democrats in your caucus already have to answer for the dysfunction in Springfield. You're their leader and the governor's chief patron. There's one way, though, for your senators to take full ownership of that dysfunction: They can stand by like slack-jawed gawkers at a train wreck while you thwart the ability of their constituents to enact a recall amendment.

Many of those constituents are closely following the trial of Antoin "Tony" Rezko. They're reading remarkable testimony about their state government. At some point they may want to do something about that. Should they first be able to adopt a recall amendment, Senate President Jones?

We are waiting.
