Gone According to Plan

Your LakeCountyEye will not have Dan McConchie to kick around any more:

Republican state Sen. Dan McConchie to resign:
'I never aspired to be an elected official'

Accidental State Senator Dan McConchie will be replaced by the winner of a special election, to be held per Illinois state law.

HaHa, j/k ...

Resigning now allows suburban Republican leaders to choose someone to finish McConchie's term. The successor then would be able to run for election in 2026 with some legislative experience and, ideally, a healthy campaign war chest. McConchie said he has spoken to possible candidates about succeeding him but didn't name names. He said he expects to formally recommend someone for the post.
An 'unwavering' public servant: Republican state Sen. Dan McConchie resigning

The soon-to-be Ex-State Senator will be replaced when GOP party bosses meet in a smokefilled room to handpick a Republican crony. The purpose of the law is to ensure that a highly qualified candidate is selected to represent the voters of the Senate District! HaHa, j/k again.
