The Illinois House of Representatives has passed a bill requiring publicly held companies to have at least at least one woman and one African American on their company’s corporate board starting in 2021.
If companies refuse to comply with the draconian law, they will be hit with a whopping fine of $300,000 dollars.
Instead of hiring people on merit and not skin color, companies will be forced to employ people unsuitable for the job simply to fulfil some hare-brained political correctness quota.
“No mention of qualifications, no mention of what to do if the particular individuals don’t match up well to other candidates for the position. Nope – you just better have them on your board…or else,” writes Ferlon Webster Jr.
State Rep. Tony McCombie (R-Savanna) argues that the bill was a business killer.
“We are destroying the ability for our state to grow,” she said.
