AlterNet reports:

Illinois governor Bruce Rauner watched his anti-union bill called, "Right-To-Work", die a swift, cruel death in the House [May 14]. [...] The the tally [PDF] was 0 yes votes, 72 no votes, and 37 voting present.

Fun with math: The Illinois House has 118 members.

A handful of Republicans went for a walk during the vote, not publicly falling on one side or another.

    Is this one of those insults that offends homophobes or something?

    Not at all. It's not about homophobia. It's about explaining why the $35 hamburger you ate isn't responsible for the dicks coming out of your ass. There is no connection, as much as you think that there is.
