FILE: July 19, 2013: House Speaker John Boehner walks to the chamber
floor on Capitol Hill, in Washington, D.C.APHouse Republicans say their
goal is to repeal President Obama's health care law, not to present
an alternative plan."I don't think it's a matter of what we put
on the floor right now," said Rep. Greg Walden of Oregon, who
heads the party's campaign committee. He added that what is important is
"trying to delay Obamacare."His remarks are in response to criticism that
the Republican-led House have voted more than three dozen times over the
past several years to repeal the law in part or in whole.Officially,
the effort to craft an alternative plan is a work "in progress"
and has been since Jan. 19, 2011, according to GOP.gov, a leadership-run
website.But internal divisions, disagreement about political tactics and
Obama's 2012 re-election have resulted in uncertainty about whether Republicans
will vote on a plan of their own before the 2014 elections,
or if not by then, perhaps before the president leaves office, more
than six years after the original promise.Rep. Fred Upton of Michigan, who
leads a committee with jurisdiction over health care, said, "If we are
successful in ultimately repealing this legislation, then yes, we will have
a replacement bill ready to come back with."Divisions were evident earlier
this year, when legislation to make it easier for high-risk individuals
to purchase coverage died without a vote. It was

was seeking to protect Speaker Madigan, why would I take his allegations
immediately over to the OEIG (Office of Executive Inspector General) if
I thought there was pressure from Speaker Madigan? It just doesn't make
sense."Clifford did not get the necessary votes to renew his contract earlier
this year, but he left Metra with a $700,000 severance deal that
some have characterized as "hush money" to keep Clifford quiet after threatening
a lawsuit.Clifford denies that claim and says the money was "100 percent
about my ability to get a job and how I've been damaged."Metra
announced on Friday that it plans to hire a well-known former federal
prosecutor in Chicago to perform an independent investigation into Clifford's
allegations and make recommendations concerning Metra's hiring and contract
policies.Metra's board of directors must approve the hiring at a special
meeting on Monday.The man who oversees Illinois' government watchdog group
says even though there was no illegal activity involved with the Metra
scandal, the case has lawmakers squirming a bit more than usual."This is
a very big deal, this is the first time in anyone's memory
that Speaker Madigan has been implicated so directly in the workings of
a public agency," Better Government Association President Andy Shaw said.
"Madigan and hundreds if not thousands (of politicians) do this every day.
We just don't hear about it very often, because it happens b
