If you’ll recall, just last week I spoke of fake Republican Angelo “Skip” Saviano, State Rep from Elmwood Park. Well, Skippy has again proven his complete lack of Republican credentials with his latest apostasy. With this vote Skippy has once again proven to be a RINO (Republican In Name Only) that we’d be better off to be rid of in Illinois.
With his no vote on HB 4744, ol’ Skippy has not only voted to allow a governor, any governor, to sell state properties without prior approval of the people’s representatives, but he’s also basically given Democrat Governor Quinn the go ahead to sell the Thomson State Correctional facility to the federal government in order to allow terrorist to come live amongst us there.
That’s right, Skippy Saviano pretends to be a Republican but has voted to allow a Democrat to bring terrorists to live here.
HB 4744 is meant to require a governor to get the prior approval of the legislature before being allowed to sell state assets worth in excess of one million dollars. This bill was meant to keep Governor Quinn from selling Thomson prison to Obama so that he could make the place into Gitmo Midwest.
Saviano’s “no” vote means that he wants terrorists to live among us and wants to allow governors to go about willy-nilly selling the state’s property to outside buyers without so much as a by your leave from our elected representatives.
It should also be noted that Skippy was the only local Republican to vote this way, too. Fortunately for the citizens of Illinois, only three other local Democrats joined him in this bad vote and HB 4744 passed pretty handily. The final vote was 81-31.
The process isn’t yet done, though, as the bill still has to pass the Senate and then make its way to the governor’s desk for his signature.
A very few Republican reps other than Skippy the RINO also support bringing terrorists to live in Illinois. Here are the folks that voted to more easily facilitate terrorists coming to our state:

Mike Boland
John Bradley
Dan Brady
William Burns
Cardis Collins
