Ramey Record

Dear Friend:

     After several trips to Springfield for comprehensive discussions on several legislative bills, the mass transit issue in Illinois has now been solved, averting a doomsday crisis that was to be enacted Jan. 20 if a funding mechanism was not implemented.

New Legislation Urges Governor
to Reinstate the Death Penalty,
Change Qualifications for Death Penalty Eligibility
and Continue to Reform the System

     Responding to the increase in multiple homicides and the recent wave of young children being caught in the cross fire, State Representative Dennis Reboletti (R-Elmhurst) filed legislation which would lift the moratorium on the death penalty, broaden the scope of defendants eligible for the death penalty and continue to reform the system.

     State Representative Dennis Reboletti (R-Elmhurst), State Representative Randy Ramey (R-West Chicago), DuPage County State’s Attorney Joe Birkett and Chief Daniel Bilodeau from the DuPage County Sheriff’s Office - Law Enforcement Bureau will hold a press conference on Tuesday, February 12, 2008 at the DuPage County Sheriff’s office.

      A budget implementation bill authorizing state spending for school districts, human services and countless other state agencies has been approved in the General Assembly, said State Rep. Randy Ramey (R-Carol Stream) who voted for the measure.

     State Rep. Randy Ramey (R-Carol Stream) brought in more than 1,900 coats from his annual coat drive that benefits needy families in his district.

Representative Ramey provides answers to some "frequently asked questions" concerning early voting.

Dear Friend:

Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year to all!

With the start of the New Year, several bills that I sponsored will now become effective laws in Illinois beginning Tuesday, Jan 1.

    I hope all of you have celebrated the beginning of the holiday season amongst family and friends!

     It has been rewarding to spend much-needed time in my legislative district, however, many issues are now reaching the height of discussion that will probably prompt us to return to Springfield as we near the end of the calendar year. I will touch on a few of those issues that are most important as of late.
