COMMENTARY: Carlinville mayor wants to take your vote away while pushing for home rule status

Carlinville mayor Deanna Demuzio placed a special item on the agenda for the sole purpose of stripping voter rights away in determination to grant a municipality of less than 25,000 residents home rule status in Carlinville City Council's session Monday. Demuzio believes that the voters within the City of Carlinville should be allowed to have a say on the matter, honestly believing that the voters are too ignorant to understand home rule and just wants the Illinois Constitution revised in […]

HAMILTON: Congress tanks, but does it care?

We’re at a watershed moment in American political history. Our Congress — I’m talking about the people’s body, the institution created by our founders, and not just the men and women who currently inhabit it — is in deep trouble. And no one seems to be offering hope. Its public standing is abysmal, occasionally dropping into the single digits in polling. Very few people seem to respect it, even on Capitol Hill. Small surprise, as the Pew Research Center reported […]

McCALEB: What’s real as the primary election approaches

(Illinois News Network) -- Everyone who watches even just a bit of TV or who checks their mailboxes every now and then knows there's an election around the corner. The dubious campaign ads and colorful mailers with big scare headlines have been flooding both for weeks. I hope you're not paying attention to them. They're generally dishonest and tell you nothing real about why you should support one candidate over another. But with early voting well under way and the March […]

COMMENTARY: Shelbyville city bond referendum just doesn’t make sense

I read a letter to the editor submitted to the Shelbyville Daily Union, which was published Monday, from Debe Wright, water and sewer commissioner for the City of Shelbyville, regarding an upcoming referendum up for a vote on Tuesday, Mar. 20. The proposed referendum poses the following question as whether or not the City of Shelbyville should issue nearly $5.8 million in alternate bonds to pay for sewer infrastructure repairs. Wright also attempts to plead the case that the infrastructure […]

Commentary: Illinois Family Institute continues campaign of ignorance on pot legalization

Kathy Valente from the Illinois Family Institute has yet again continued the organization's ignorance campaign on a pending Cook County resolution to legalize marijuana in the county. In a Letter To The Editor that Valente submitted to all media outlets on February 1 entitled "Avoiding a Dangerous Pot Hole", she and the Institute continues to prove how ignorant they truly are. With absolutely no regard for solid facts or evidence from other states, lawmakers are set to legalize and tax […]

Commentary: What’s missing from the State of the State equation in Illinois?

By now, everyone knows what Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner said in his State of the State address. We know what has been said by House and Senate Republicans. We know what has been said by House and Senate Democrats. Even with all of this information for the voters of Illinois to comprehend and understand, what's missing here? Illinois enters its bicentennial year reflecting on what was born, built and grown in Illinois: Illinois was the first to ratify the Thirteenth […]

GARCIA: A wake-up challenge is needed for American millennials

“America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.” Abraham Lincoln “Great men, great nations have not been boasters and buffoons, but perceivers of the terror of life, and have manned themselves to face it.” Ralph Waldo Emerson The challenge to American millennials is to rekindle faith in our nation’s ideals. The great American experiment has drifted toward dysfunction. Some reasons for this dysfunction are confusion over […]

BERG: Hold on to your wallets, Springfield back in session for 2018

State lawmakers will start returning to their perches in Springfield Jan. 23. What can Illinoisans expect? 2017 left a bad taste in the mouths of many. The year began with an impasse and ended in a torrent of treacherous policy choices. In exchange for waiting out a historic budget logjam, Illinoisans were rewarded with the largest permanent income tax hike in the Land of Lincoln’s history. And state lawmakers couldn’t even balance the budget with that extra money, as they […]

KRISTIAN: No, Donald Trump is not a libertarian president by any measure

The American Conservative is a reliable source of thoughtful commentary, and an outlet to which I am happy to contribute on occasion. For these reasons I was prepared to give a fair reading to a Monday article, “Donald Trump: The Most Libertarian President Since Silent Cal,” by Ryan James Girdusky — as much as the headline inclined me otherwise. Unfortunately, no reading can make Girdusky’s case persuasive. President Trump is not libertarian by any measure, not even the extremely low bar of being the most […]
