State Rep. Linda Chapa LaVia signed on to a letter to Gov. Blagojevich and the four legislative leaders calling on them to come up with a budget plan that will "meet the state's needs," according to Capitol Fax. She's one of 22 House Democrats calling for more state spending and "significant additional revenue."
Not sure how this whole budget battle is going to play out, but I wonder if it's smart for Chapa LaVia, who has made no secret about her desire to hold higher political office, to sign on to a letter that critics can use to paint her as an enemy of the taxpayer.
On the other hand, it shows she's not afraid to stand up to Mike Madigan.
