STATE CAMPUS House and Senate pass civil union bill

By Allison Twaits City Editor

Gov. Pat Quinn has pledged his signature to the new civil union bill that passed Tuesday night for Illinois. The Illinois House passed the bill by a vote of 61-52. The following afternoon, the Senate passed the bill by a vote of 32-24. Democrats control both chambers. Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn had urged the legislature to pass the bill during the lame-duck session and he even appeared on the House and Senate floor during debate to show his support. He has not said when he will sign the bill. Ryan Plunkett, the president of the Eastern College Democrats said he was happy to see SETH SCHROEDER | DAILY EASTERN NEWS that the bill passed with such large margins Isaiah Jelks, a Charleston resident, writes a quality of himself on the mirror of the body image room in The Tunnel of Oppression Thursday evening on the ninth floor of Andrews Hall. and that this is only the start for other states to follow Illinois’ lead. “Illinois is on the right side of history and this is a big first step in the right direction,” Plunkett said.
