The Illinois Energy Bill passed the Senate late Wednesday night. 

Republican State Senator Chapin Rose represents the 51st district of Illinois and he says that there are more negatives than positives to the bill as it stands. He says it accomplishes the main goal of keeping two of the state’s biggest nuclear power plants open, but coal workers would get the short end of the bill.

Rose talks about how this bill will impact farmers and consumers. 

Rose also said that this use of imminent domain is unconstitutional. 

Rose says that the bill has to make it through the House before Gov. JB Pritzker signs it.

Republican State Senator Rose voted no on the energy bill.
