Today the Democratic Party completely controls Illinois state government: governor, assembly and senate. The Illinois Assembly just overwhelmingly voted to roll back the 24% electric rate increase. But Illinois Senate President Emil Jones, a Democrat, says he is against the rate freeze and so will prevent any Senate vote.
What? One man, Emil Jones, can stand in the way of a rate rollback? Are the Democratic senators helpless?
No, they just agree to play this little charade to help out ComEd.
