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. Manar's campaign team claims that McMillan is "contradicting his own website" regarding his position on education funding reform. The release goes on about McMillan describing Manar's education funding reform efforts as a "Chicago bailout" with some noting his stance conflicted with that of Gov. Bruce Rauner, who signed […]

COMMENTARY: Illinois legislature considering allowing tax bills to be paid with cryptocurrency

A recent topic of discussion in the Illinois House may become a point of discussion in next week's scheduled hearing of the House Revenue and Finance Committee, slated for 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 11. What is this point of discussion, you ask? A proposed bill filed by Democratic state representative Michael Zalewski (also the chair of mentioned committee), House Bill 5335, may allow for the payment of tax bills with cryptocurrency, but there is much confusion from the vague […]

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 […]

COMMENTARY: The establishment choices in Illinois are horrible. Vote different.

An unmitigated disaster that is the two-party system with one-party rule in Illinois and America contributed to such a dismal showing in Tuesday's primary election. That disaster comes in the form of two establishment representatives of the Republican and Democratic parties. The first half of this disaster is current Republican governor Bruce Rauner, who has been experiencing quite a backlash from staunch conservatives since he signed bills into law allowing for taxpayer funding of abortion procedures and the establishment of […]

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

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.
