Joseph M. Lyons is a Democratic member of the Illinois House of Representatives, representing the 19th District since his appointment in November 1996.
In 2007, when state lawmakers working on a budget during a special session met at 10 a.m. rather than 2p.m., and Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich's attorney threatened that the Governor was considering legal action against the involved representatives, Lyons told reporters, "We have a madman. The man is insane."[1]
