The Illinois House Republicans have raised concerns about the legislative process, particularly regarding witness testimony and the filing of witness slips. They allege that Democrats have been employing tactics to circumvent these procedures.
According to a statement from the Caucus Blog of the Illinois House Republicans, "While the legislature must allow witness testimony and accept all witness slips filed for any piece of legislation scheduled for a public hearing, Democrats have found ways around the process through a number of deceitful tactics."
The blog post warns citizens not to be misled by what it describes as games being played in this context.
