As the public caught wind of the union’s attempt to silence the voice of decades old, misconduct records; close to 200 people from across the country have signed witnesses slips online, in support, of Illinois State Representative, La Shawn Ford’s, HB6266, which would amend Illinois state law, thus making the records permanent.
