Attention lawmakers lobbyists and other State House denizens. They're a bunch of food trucks on the east side of the square across from the governor's mansion. Those of us that are staying in late, we've got some new places to eat at.

Capitol Fax.com - Your Illinois News Radar Β» β€˜Devore chose to disrespect ABATE, our members, our friends, our hard work, and riders all throughout Illinois’CapitolFax.com
