Home warranty provider Service America shutting down after 43 years

In business, some companies are so old that they seem invincible. Sears, Kodak, Toys R’ Us – their former dominance made their inevitable fall unthinkable. And yet, as of 2019, all three companies have fallen. Taken down by market forces, they are no longer a part of the consumer landscape. In 2018, the home warranty industry lost one of its own in the same fashion. After 43 years in business, Service America, a company serving many Illinois based customers, has […]

Pritzker's varied actions from the $15 minimum wage to hiking salaries for senior members of his staff with a 15 percent raise to doubling the salaries of his top 20 staffers among his first acts as the state's top official amounts nothing more than a slap in the face of the state's taxpayers.
