The Illinois Senate today voted to ban caffeinated alcoholic beverages, a move aimed at halting sales of a drink combination that critics contend can spur people to drink to dangerous levels. The measure would prohibit the production, manufacture and distribution of such products.
Meanwhile, a plan in the House to allow for smoking on casino gambling floors has stalled and also wouldn’t be eligible for more debate until next year.
The House adjourned its scheduled session Wednesday and isn’t expected to return until early January.
I have not heard about any plan to reduce the State debt or start paying off the very long back log of overdue bills. But our lawmakers seem to have more important things to worry about then whether the State of Illinois will go bankrupt or not. Maybe they know all they have to do is raise our taxes high enough and they will have more money to spend.
