Tips to avoid damaging your vehicle

It is often frustrating for drivers to make what seems to be endless repairs to their vehicles, which eats up both valuable time and money. While some people will resort to public transport or private individuals via Lyft or Uber, others can't go without the luxury and convenience of owning their own vehicle. Although not being very well known to anyone but gearheads, your vehicle operates on complicated mechanisms with interconnected parts which may stop functioning at any time for […]

Fiscal bind may lead to police and fire layoffs in Decatur

Reductions in state subsidies are one reason for Decatur’s predicament, but long-running pension woes are an even larger source of pain. Decatur may soon have to shed police and fire personnel – a concern local leaders have linked to a recent reduction in funding from the state. Mayor Julie Moore Wolfe told a state Senate committee May 16 that further reductions in funding from Springfield would lead to layoffs. It’s true that a loss in state funding was one driver […]

SMITH: Support Libertarian candidates on the ballot in New Hampshire

Piece by piece the government is coming for you. First they came for your money. But that was just the start. Now they are coming for your words, and most importantly, they are coming for your thoughts. And it is comply or else. Day by day we see the government taking more steps trying to “help” us or “protect” us. Many of these actions are based on laws passed to help one group at the expense of another. But as […]

GUEST EDITORIAL: SIEA opposes new tariffs on newsprint from Canada

The Southern Illinois Editorial Association strongly opposes new tariffs on Canadian newsprint. The newspaper industry has faced several challenges over the past decade that have led to a decline in advertising revenue, circulation and, ultimately, the number of people employed in the industry and the number of newspapers in print. The demand for newsprint in America has declined 75 percent since 2000. This decline can be attributed mostly to recession and market forces and, to a lesser degree, internet competition. […]

EDWARDS: The Patent and Trademark Office — an enemy to America’s inventors

Perhaps the worst was the establishment of new administrative procedures for challenging a patent's validity. The abuse of this system has reached epidemic proportions. It's time for […]

GUEST COMMENTARY: Straight-party voting doesn’t empower people; it protects dominant parties

This guest commentary is presented by Heath Haussamen from New Mexico Politics. All links listed in the commentary will remain for this publication. Elections systems should make voting easy for qualified voters, but not at the expense of encouraging people to make informed decisions. The state’s recent move to consolidate most local elections is an important change because it simplifies voting and empowers people. Starting in 2019, New Mexicans will have an easier time knowing when elections are held. Because they have […]

MOODY: Come on, Illinois Democrats — do something

I am a liberal progressive living in the state of Illinois whose legislative body is controlled by the Democratic Party. As a liberal progressive, I have an affinity for the Democrats who generally promote the values I believe in, however our state is in miserable financial shape and has been for a long time. Our bonds are rated just a tad above junk, which means that we have to pay an interest premium to borrow money. Vendors who do business […]
