Illinois House Speaker Emanuel 'Chris' Welch doubled down in his support for the SAFE-T Act, addressing critics head on during a City Club speech.
Supporters and opponents in this political season are accusing the other side of misinformation. Lake County State's Attorney Eric Rinehart is one of the few state's attorneys supporting the bill. "No state's attorney will ever have to tell a victim of sexual violence, that their perpetrator may post cash ever, because a judge can detain somebody when a motion is filed, and it won't be about cash," Rinehart said.
Welch is accusing those who have called for the law to be repealed of fear mongering, with the election less than six weeks away."They want to repeal a whole lot more than the safety net," Welch said. "They want to repeal women's rights. They want to repeal labor rights. They want to repeal civil rights like marriage equality. They want to repeal every right we've earned in this country." "What the Speaker was doing, with all due respect for him was fear, using fear mongering even though he said we shouldn't use it," Devore responded. A House working group continues to look at possible modifications to the SAFE-T Act and any changes could get taken up in the veto session, but that is not scheduled until after the election.
