JUSTICE SIMON, also dissenting: I have joined Chief Justice Clark’s dissent because I agree with both his insightful analysis of the futility of attempting to discover legislative intent from the enactments of a subsequent legislature and his well-reasoned arguments distinguishing this case from People v. Palmer (1984), 104 Ill. 2d 340. I dissent separately, however, because I continue to believe that Palmer was wrongly decided for the reasons set forth in Justice Goldenhersh’s dissent thereto. Palmer, 104 Ill. 2d at 350 (Goldenhersh, J., dissenting).
