Scrutiny on the Bounty

Question of the Day: What do Dog the Bounty Hunter and Dan McConchie have in common?

Answer: If you said a mullet and some cool shades you would be incorrect. The correct answer is both men oppose the SAFE-T Act.

HaHa, the SAFE-T Act will eliminate cash bail in Illinois. And Lake County entrenched incumbent Dan McConchie is not amused:

McConchie, the Republican leader in the state senate, said the legislation makes Illinois less safe. "It ties the hands of judges who are working to try to keep us safe" and keep the most dangerous people in jail, the Hawthorn Woods resident said.

It goes without saying that some of those most dangerous people are women who have abortions, along with their doctors -- they would be sent to jail if the anti-abortion lobby has its way.

A little known fact, Dan McConchie is a former anti-abortion lobbyist who drew a salary from the Washington DC anti-abortion lobby Americans United for Life.

One Lake County GOP spokesman said: "We need Dan McConchie to repeal the SAFE-T Act now. We can't have all these ladies being released from prison and free to have more abortions."
