State Representative Jed Davis from Yorkville has initiated a petition against a proposed bill in Illinois that seeks to legalize prostitution. Rep. Davis, a Republican, expressed his opposition by stating, "This proposal highlights the absurdity we face in Springfield every day." He argues that legalizing prostitution would not offer protection but rather provide "a dangerous industry legal cover to exploit our most vulnerable."

Davis is calling on those who share his concerns to sign the petition available on his website. He further commented on the potential motivations behind the legislation: "I don’t know whether this is an attempt to appease the radical far-left or a misguided effort to address our $3 billion budget deficit through taxing prostitution," adding that "either way, this proposal is reckless."
