WASHINGTON DC – A bipartisan group of Illinois lawmakers is backing a national effort to impose term limits on Congress through an Article V convention, joining a total of six legislators from the state. Supporters include state Sen. Andrew Chesney, R-Freeport, and U.S. Reps. Darin LaHood, R-Peoria, and Eric Sorensen, D-Rockford.
