An Illinois state legislator and her staff have been receiving death threats over a profound misreading of legislation she introduced at the behest of her county health department. The representative joined us to talk about what the bill is actually intended to do and the response to her legislation.

State government came to the living room of a home on a tree lined street in Lombard Tuesday morning. It was a rare scene -- lawmakers from both sides of the aisle crowded around a kitchen table as Governor Bruce Rauner signed "Charlie's Law."

Yesterday’s “I voted” sticker is today’s ballot selfie. But some voters last fall found out Illinois makes it illegal to take a selfie with your ballot. Lawmakers are trying to change that, inspired by the young people who simply wanted to share their fulfillment of their civic duty on social media.
