OP-ED: Control the language and control history

The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of 'liberalism,' they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program. - Norman Thomas, 1928 During a decade of political chaos that brought us the works of Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre, Aldous Huxley and Vladimir Lenin, George Orwell reacted to this mobocracy introducing the world to his dystopian Big Brother. His book "1984" was an attempt to dissuade existentialism in a world reinventing itself after two great […]

Back-to-school sales tax holiday unlikely in Illinois

SPRINGFIELD (The Center Square) -- Illinois is unlikely to join the list of states that offer a “back-to-school” sales tax holiday. Sales tax holidays are periods when specific goods are exempted from state, and sometimes local, sales taxes. Many states schedule the events for August when “back-to-school” shopping largely takes place. Illinois held a one-time sales tax holiday back in 2010, but Rob Karr, president of the Illinois Retail Merchants Association, said it didn’t provide the boost some expected. “It […]

Illinois study finds frogs most common animal found in prepackaged produce

CHAMPAIGN (The Center Square) -- A University of Illinois study that looked at wild animals found in prepackaged produce determined that frogs were more likely to turn up in your bagged salad than any other animal in what the authors said was an overlooked issue. The study concluded such incidents were rare, but that the public should be aware of the issue and more research should be done. “It's just something that we thought needed more attention than it has been given,” said […]

House rejects ‘ban-the-box’ college admissions bill

SPRINGFIELD (Illinois News Network) -- The Illinois House rejected a "ban-the-box" bill that opponents said could make college campuses more dangerous. The measure would have prohibited any college or university in the state from asking about or considering an applicant’s criminal history during the admissions process. State Rep. Jeff Keicher (R-Sycamore) represents the 70th District, which includes Northern Illinois University. “When … we are going to have 17- and 18-year old children gone from home for the first time in their […]

Illinois lawmakers look to avoid FAA penalties amid jet fuel tax crackdown

SPRINGFIELD (Illinois News Network) -- After years of noncompliance, Illinois lawmakers are moving forward with legislation that would require local taxes on jet fuel go to aviation-related projects, not into local coffers. The bill has failed in previous years. If it becomes law, taxes on jet fuel would be sent back to local airports and aviation schools. Illinois and many home-rule municipalities, notably Chicago, taxed jet fuel and used it for non-aviation expenses. The Federal Aviation Administration said in 2015 that tax […]

Illinois lawmaker proposes voter tax credit

SPRINGFIELD (Illinois News Network) -- An Illinois lawmaker is proposing a $25 tax credit for voters. Freshman state Senator Ram Villivalam (D-Chicago) has introduced legislation that would give a $25 state tax credit for anyone who votes in a general election. He says it’s been tried elsewhere and found to increase turnout. “We need more people to participate in our democracy,” Villivalam said. “That’s what this legislation aims to do.” He discounted the notion that a tax credit for voting was akin to a […]

Illinois lawmakers ponder merger of local police and fire pension funds

SPRINGFIELD (Illinois News Network) -- Illinois lawmakers heard from municipal officials Thursday on the idea of consolidating their police and fire pensions and also giving them “first in line” privileges for local spending. Illinois currently has more than 650 local police and fire pension funds. Many of them are poorly equipped to pay their coming retiree costs. The Illinois Municipal League and others are proposing to consolidate them in an effort to save on administrative costs. “Pension boards currently are governed […]
