COMMENTARY: What’s with Manar’s disinformation release on McMillan’s education stance?

Illinois state Sen. Andy Manar (D-Bunker Hill) and his PAC known as Friends of Andy Manar released a press release Tuesday regarding opponent Seth McMillan (R-Taylorville) and his stance on educational reform.

Illinois Senate panel tentatively OKs plan to feed wild deer

SPRINGFIELD (Illinois News Network) -- People are not supposed to feed wild deer in Illinois. Baiting deer for hunting is illegal, and the state's Department of Natural Resources says feeding wild deer can spread disease. But some people in some places in Illinois could soon give some deer something to eat. State Sen. Chapin Rose recently told lawmakers in Springfield that there are veterinarians who say feeding deer outside of hunting season will help keep the animals healthy. "The healthful […]

McCALEB OP-ED: Collapse of Harvey’s finances signals what’s to come across Illinois

(Illinois News Network) -- The unfolding fiscal crisis in south suburban Harvey should send shivers down the spines of public employees and retirees across Illinois.

Last fall, Illinois' First District Appellate Court ordered the city of […]

With union backing, McCann joins race for Illinois governor

 SPRINGFIELD (Illinois News Network) -- Illinois state Sen. Sam McCann (R-Plainview) announced Thursday that he plans run as a third-party candidate for governor – a move that likely would siphon votes from incumbent Gov. Bruce Rauner. The first-term governor is widely viewed as an underdog in the race for the state's highest office against billionaire J.B. Pritzker. McCann's campaign with the Conservative Party stands to draw votes away from Rauner, who has alienated many conservative voters. Rauner narrowly defeated […]

That's 40 days before the election. Board of Election Commissioners for the City of Chicago spokesman Jim Allen told a crowd at an Illinois Campaign for Political Reform event on Thursday that Illinois' early voting law is unworkable because it requires local election offices to be ready a month and ten days […]

SPRINGFIELD (Heartland Newsfeed) -- Family courts across Illinois may have to adapt to a new evidence-based form of shared parenting as part of divorce proceedings, should a proposed piece of legislation become law.

Ford (D-Chicago), would amend the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act to include recognition that the involvement of both parents for equal time is in the best interests of the child.
