After
DCFS worker Pam Knight was brutally beaten to death last fall, Rep.
McCombie drafted legislation to give DCFS and Adult Protective Service
employees the same
protections that our police, fire, and other emergency responders
already receive under Illinois law. Yesterday that legislation failed to
pass full committee on a partisan roll call in which the majority
decided to vote down any and all penalty enhancement
bills.
The
safety of our residents is not a partisan issue, we can work together
to correct injustices within Illinois’ criminal justice system without
jeopardizing the lives
of the citizens we have sworn to protect.
