Rich Miller: Welch, State Democrats Offer Different Accounts of Campaign Funding Dispute – Chicago Sun-Times

The split followed a dispute over a $400,000 party ask, a $2.1 million refund demand and the loss of a postage discount program.

"This unprecedented action (by Democrats for the Illinois House) to split from the Democratic Party of Illinois was taken less than two months before Election Day without Illinois House Speaker Emanuel 'Chris' Welch ever consulting members of his House Democratic Caucus. Welch has been under fire for months for how he has run the chamber, to the point where it’s no longer a slam dunk that he will be reelected in January."
