The office of lieutenant governor in Illinois has often been the subject of debate, particularly during budget preparation time. This essay examines the history of the office of lieutenant governor in other states and in Illinois. Changes in the process of selecting the lieutenant governor are described, along with the current duties of the office. Finally, the author recommends changes in law and practice which would make the office of greater value to the state.
