He also cites his sponsorship of a bill requiring health plans to cover 48-hour stays for newborns in hospitals, and advocates comprehensive crime legislation and ending "excess privileges" for prisoners. Senator Bomke fought for comprehensive crime legislation, including public notification of a known sex offender moving into a community. When news outlets reported that taxpayers were charged for a $600 makeup session for Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich for his budget speech, Bomke said, "He didn"t get his money"s worth."
In February 2009, shortly after Governor Rod Blagojevich was removed from office and in the midst of the state"s financial crisis, Bomke, announced a bill which targeted William Ayers for removal from his teaching position at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
The proposal states that anyone "who has committed an act of violence against the governments of the United States or Illinois cannot work at a public university."
