BIG SUPRISE: U.S. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE DOESN'T LIKE ILLINOIS COURTS!
According to a March 8, 2005 a report by Kevin McDermott in the St. Louis Post Dispatch, the US Chamber of Commerce claims Illinois has a anti-business climate. No shock there, because the Chamber jumped on the "tort reform" bandwagon last year and has been pushing the same propoganda for months. Just wanted to comment though on the questionable methodology the Chamber folks used in reaching its opinion that Illinois is anti-business. They called senior attorneys at companies with annual revenues of at least $100 million and asked them to give their opinions on the Illinois Courts. Wow, the Chamber should really be commended for knocking itself out, going after such a diverse cross section of voters. The Chamber has lost all credibility - it just continues spouting inaccurate, misleading statistics designed to scare the public into thinking the legal system is run amok. The Chamber has simply become another mouthpiece for the Conservative movement.
