Bruno Behrend wants the Illinois Constitution to have some changes.
The conservative radio host is trying to gather support for a constitutional convention to make changes to the Illinois Constitution, last modified in 1970.
“If there is ever a year that we can get a ‘yes’ vote, it’s this year,” said Behrend, who is the co-founder of the Illinois Citizens Coalition, a group that advocates structural government reform. “What’s wrong with (Illinois politics) is everything.”

Jackie says:
A radio show host most likely has a better pulse on what citizens would like from their elected officials. Politicians are too busy having lunch with lobbyist, talking to advisers, meeting with their constituents luring them into a false sense of security. They introduce legislation and amendments knowing they'll never make it out of committee...sad, but true. If it takes a constitutional convention to clean house, then we must vote yes for it. Everything else has failed. This is a chance to have a voice in our state; it belongs to us and we have to do something to ensure accountability.
