“With the state budget stalemate nearing the one-year mark, former Illinois Republican Gov. Jim Edgar made a plea Tuesday for “civility,” “compromise” and “compassion” in Springfield.
Speaking in Chicago, Edgar said the “best public policy comes out of compromise,” explaining that “you can’t get things done if you’re not willing to meet your adversaries halfway.”
“We ought to have checks and balances, but we shouldn’t have shouting matches,” he added at the “Illinois: Vision for the Future” event, hosted by the Illinois Campaign for Political Reform at the Standard Club.”
