Skokie Representative Lou Lang, part of Madigan's leadership team, has also had a proposal advance past committee. The Lang Alternative would require candidates for Governor and Lt. Governor to run as a team in primaries, starting in 2014. Three Republicans on the committee voted "present." They say the amendment should wait, as the number of questions that can be put before voters is limited, and they say that a better idea may come forward.
