A group that’s trying to change how Illinois’ legislative boundaries are drawn is continuing its legal fight to put the proposal on November’s ballot.
Dennis FitzSimons leads the group called Independent Maps.
The state Supreme Court recently ruled their redistricting proposal unconstitutional - knocking it off the November ballot.
Now, FitzSimons says he’s trying a long shot of a legal maneuver - asking the Supreme Court to officially reconsider its decision.
FITZSIMONS: We owe it to the 563,000 people who signed petitions. We owe it to the contributors. We owe it to the thousands of volunteers to try to do everything we can to get this on the ballot and not give up.
FitzSimons also suggested longtime House Speaker Michael Madigan of being behind the group who sued over the redistricting proposal.
Madigan has denied he had any role in the lawsuit.
