Swanson Expressing Reservations With Bill Calling For State Oversight of High School Athletics

State Rep. Dan Swanson

Local State Representative Dan Swanson has some real reservations about a Chicago area lawmaker’s bill that would create the High School Interscholastic Association Commission. The legislation is being introduced by State Rep. Thaddeus Jones, but Swanson believes the state is in no position, especially financially, to provide oversight to high school athletics in Illinois.

Jones’ bill is House Bill 0330. It was filed on January 11th. Calls to Rep. Jones’ office for comment were not returned.
