Crain's Greg Hinz has eagle eyes:
A bill to hold a special election to fill President-elect Barack Obama’s Senate seat may be getting another life in Springfield.
The measure, which had been shelved by House Speaker Michael Madigan, on Wednesday was quietly posted for a committee hearing next Wednesday afternoon, Jan. 7. [...]
Mr. Madigan’s spokesman said the bill was one of several to be posted at House members’ request “in the event the House returns to session” next week, and declined further comment.
Remember: when Speaker Madigan "shelved" the bill earlier this month, he left the back door open, telling Carol Marin that it was "still under consideration."
