COMMENTARY: Nokomis’ police corruption remains unresolved

The Nokomis City Council is keeping its police department, despite how short-staffed it is. For now. This was the consensus of the city council during last night's regular meeting. But it doesn't address the inherent corruption within the Nokomis Police Department. We're not just talking about two ethical violations within the past year. It is much deeper than that - much closer to 30 to 40 years of unethical behavior. Botched murder investigations. Cop-on-cop crime. Self-dealing. Excessive reliance on "confidential […]

MILLER: Bears infrastructure plan brewing in Springfield

Illinois House Democrats were told last week that a state capital projects plan designed to assist Arlington Heights’ bid to lure the Chicago Bears away from their Indiana stadium gambit would cost up to $895 million.  None of the money would be used to directly build the new Bears stadium or the surrounding commercial district envisioned by the team’s ownership. Gov. JB Pritzker insisted to reporters earlier this month that the projects would be done to help enhance the area. Capital assistance […]

MILLER: Illinois Supreme Court moves attract little attention

Remember the national uproar last November when U.S. Rep. Chuy Garcia bowed out of his reelection race at the last minute and quietly passed petitions to put his chief of staff, Patty Garcia, on the ballot? We saw a lesser, but still quite palpable mass grumbling when state Rep. Marty Moylan (D-Des Plaines) did the same that month for his chief of staff Justin Cochran, who was subsequently appointed to the House by the district’s Democratic township committeepersons after Moylan […]

Missouri Constitution, not politicians, speaks for the people

(Missouri Independent) -- Respect for and upholding the rule of law is part of the job requirement of our public officials. They take an oath to do just that. Unfortunately, it seems some of our statewide officials have decided that they simply can declare what the law is and we are all expected to follow. They did not learn the rule from kindergarten: just because you say something does not make it so. In early December, more than 300,000 signatures […]

COMMENTARY: You thought things were bad? It’s about to get worse with these tariffs.

We have a huge problem here, and they're related to the tariffs levied on the United States' top three trade partners. Americans have been suffering through inflation that plagued the first Trump administration and the entire Biden administration. Surprise, surprise: nothing has changed with the second Trump administration so far. Now Americans will be forced to suffer even more with Tuesday's tariffs on trade partners Canada, Mexico, and China. How? Because once existing inventory is exhausted, cost of living is […]

Sullivan wrong

Commentary

COMMENTARY: Wrong is wrong, no exceptions (even in Sullivan)

The Sullivan School District appears to be in the middle of a scandal in a year that seems to be riddled with scandals all year, all over the country. This one isn't that much different when a school board member verbally abuses a member of the district's coaching staff. The most recent school board meeting was certainly heated, per multiple accounts, but the parties that didn't seem to care were that of the rest of the school board. For the […]

GUEBERT: Lawmakers must find a bipartisan way forward

For many years, I have heard that agriculture policy is one of the few areas in Springfield and in Washington, D.C., that is truly bipartisan. Members of both political parties recognize the need for good farm and food policy. It is my hope this continues, but I am increasingly disappointed by the lack of civility and level of disrespect occurring in today’s politics. I’m concerned that party leadership, on both sides of the aisle, is forcing lawmakers to vote exclusively […]

ELLIS: Can anything fix our two-party system?

While our two-party system of government has never functioned perfectly, in recent years it has become increasingly dysfunctional — not only in Washington but in many state houses. Why? Have both the Republican and Democratic parties been weakened and crippled by extreme ideological factions in their ranks? Has each party lost its core values and identity? For more than a decade, we have watched the increasing ineffectiveness of the two-party system play out with the lack of civility, cooperation and […]

OUR VIEW: Let’s move on from the midterm election

The 2022 election has been considered "the most important election of all time." The end result last week proved once again that it most certainly was not. There was no red wave, and there really wasn't the dominance that Democrats purported to have. We're one week past the election, and the Democrats and Republicans are continuing their incessant bickering. It, unfortunately, will not be any better with the gridlock of a Republican-majority House and a Democrat-majority Senate. The toxicity has […]
