SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – People can keep sharing their fried chicken and green bean casserole if Illinois lawmakers get their way. The Illinois Senate voted 51-1 Monday in favor of loosening health regulations for traditional potluck dinners. The measure passed the House earlier, so now it goes to the governor.
Hey, this one actually benefits Holy Moly, how ’bout that? We’ve had to change plans for potluck fundraisers a couple of times because we were reminded that we could not advertise them in the suburban paper, thus making them “public events” and subject to health department rules.
So hey! Politicking isn’t so bad for once. Now we can call a fundraiser a fundraiser.
