On Sunday, District 211 school board member Bill Lloyd wrote:
Our own local state representative Suzie Bassi introduced a bill that would have specifically required schools to have to bid on energy. After she introduced this bill, she was called to the district offices of D211 and met with the superintendent among others. After this meeting she…signed on as a co-sponsor of House Bill 261.
I previously wrote about HB 261 here.
I wrote to Representative Bassi on Wednesday, March 21 asking her to justify her support for this terrible bill. She did not respond.
The exciting news is that Suzanne Bassi appears to have withdrawn as chief co-sponsor of HB 261. Look at the last line in the legislative history of the bill.
That doesn’t tell us whether she still plans to vote for it, though. Or maybe she is working for it behind-the-scenes.
Please join with me in asking Suzanne Bassi to issue a public statement of opposition to HB 261.
Rep. Bassi can be reached by email.
You can also call her.
Her office number in Springfield is (217) 782-8026.
Her office number in Palatine is (847) 776-1880.
If you receive a response from Rep. Bassi, please let me know.
