You must have put a lot of heat on these guys. I’m getting angry calls at 10:30 at night from state senators.

The intense pressure teachers and other Illinois state employees put on members of the General Assembly was made apparent to me Friday night at 10:30.

Anne and I had just gone to bed when the phone rang.

“This is Dan Kotowski.”

“Who?”

“Dan Kotowski. Is this a bad time?”

I’m not exactly used to getting calls from state senators at any time, let alone at 10:30 on a Friday night.

“No. It’s okay, I guess.”

Then he launched into this tirade about how all these people have called him claiming he had voted for Senate Bill 512. And that my blog was the reason.
