SPRINGFIELD –– Secretary of State and State Librarian
Jesse White will host a Legislative History Roundtable
marking the 30th anniversary of the adoption of the Illinois
State Constitution on Thursday, June 22, 2000 beginning at
noon in the Authors Room of the Illinois State Library, 300
S. Second Street in Springfield.
Former reporters, lobbyists, legislators and
legislative officers will join together to discuss the
legislative changes of the past thirty years. The concept
will be a free wheeling discussion about the process of
Illinois government. Although no agenda is set, some topics
likely to be covered include reapportionment, press
coverage, lobbying and the structure of the legislature.
The "on the record" event will be video taped by the
Illinois Information Service and will become a part of the
permanent collection of the Illinois State Library. The
public is invited to attend and bring a brown bag lunch.
