POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Former GOP Lt. Gov. Evelyn Sanguinetti testified in favor of a Democratic-backed bill Wednesday, and a fellow Republican blew up. HB 2775 calls for the Illinois Human Services Department to step in and help landlords when tenants can’t pay their rent. Sponsoring Rep. La Shawn Ford, a Democrat, calls it “a human rights bill” that helps prevent homelessness among veterans, those with disabilities, families and seniors. Sanguinetti supports the bill in her position as executive director of HOPE Fair Housing Center, prompting fireworks from fellow Republicans and signaling the challenge of who and what issues define the GOP right now. During her testimony before the Housing Committee’s virtual hearing, she noted her GOP credentials more than once — she was Bruce Rauner’s No. 2 after all, a governor that engaged in a bruising fight with Illinois Democrats. When she finished speaking, GOP Rep. Andrew Chesney erupted, saying it was “repulsive” that an avowed Republican would support such a progressive “anti-business” bill at a time the state is losing jobs and population. He also criticized the bill, saying it would require all landlords to accept Section 8 housing vouchers mandating that private citizens or companies accept federal and state subsidies. Chesney’s comments brought Democrats to attention. “It took us by surprise,” acknowledged a state rep on the Zoom. In an email to Playbook, Sanguinetti called Chesney’s criticism “unfortunate,” adding “The Republican party is better than that. Housing is a human right, not a partisan issue.” The friction was fleeting. With so many bills to go through before Friday’s deadline to get legislation through committee, most Democrats shrugged and moved on. The bill passed anyway given they have the majority. But the blowup indicates a change in GOP politics in Illinois. Sanguinetti’s backing of Ford’s bill and all of its Democratic ideals goes against Republicans’ efforts in a post-Trump world to stay unified and focused on a conservative platform. – SHIA KAPOS
