A member of the Illinois commission that oversees the welfare of disabled residents wants the agency to consider reforms to the court guardianship system outlined in a News-Democrat story published Sunday.
State Rep. Angelo "Skip" Saviano said he plans to present reforms to the Illinois Guardianship and Advocacy Commission when the agency next meets on June 9.
The recommendations were featured in a package of News-Democrat stories detailing how poor record-keeping and lack of oversight in St. Clair County's guardianship system makes its wards vulnerable to exploitation.

Any reform is a step in the right direction!
I was about to say the same thing, Anononymous -- any reform is a step in the right direction!
Well, this is a good beginning but what scares me is the lack of funding to make a difference.
The loop of probate players know full well that no one is questioning what they do; they are in total control for decades, they are running the probate show without interruption, which is a recipe for disaster.
Thank you State Rep. Angelo "Skip" Saviano for addressing these issues, for taking a stand and doing something worthwhile about it.
But the real question when dealing with Skip Saviano is: What's in it for Skip or the mob? He's as sneaky as a serpent and about as spineless as one.
