BERG: It’s the 199th birthday of Illinois! Hey, wait … come back

(Illinois News Network) -- Illinois celebrated its 199th birthday Dec. 3. The eventual Land of Lincoln first became a state in 1818. Back then, nearly all of Illinois’ fertile prairie was left unsettled. But it seems like Springfield is doing its best to return to that remote state, according to new data from the Internal Revenue Service. The IRS data dump Nov. 30 was a crummy birthday gift. But it underscored the biggest policy problem with which state lawmakers must […]

EDITORIAL: Illinois Family Institute is truly ignorant on the benefits of legal pot

There are times when we know some editorials and letters to the editor are so outrageously ridiculous, they don't even warrant being seen in the public eye, whether online or in your daily newspaper. I've ran into this twice today regarding the same letter to the editor that was submitted this afternoon. A letter to the editor submitted to not only this publication, but also the Free Press-Progress in Nokomis, this afternoon came from Kathy Valente from the Illinois Family […]

Mac’s Korner: Week of November 29, 2017

Mac's Korner: Week of November 29, 2017 A man staggers into an emergency room with two black eyes and a golf club wrapped tightly around his throat. Naturally, the doctor asks him what happened. "Well, it was like this," said the man. "I was having a quiet round of golf with my wife when she sliced her ball into a pasture of cows." "We went to look for it and while I was rooting around, I noticed one of the […]

DABROWSKI: A near-perfect way to hike property taxes in Illinois

Local officials and union leaders have employed a near-perfect method to pressure residents into accepting higher taxes year after year: Sell the idea that communities around them are more generous than their own. To do that, they consistently point to neighboring communities’ higher salaries, benefits and programs to justify additional spending, then push their own residents into accepting higher taxes to pay for that spending. And if that’s not enough to make the sale, the threat of strikes and binding arbitration only builds additional […]

BERG: Small businesses are the lifeblood of Illinois, but they’re treated like dirt

(Illinois News Network) -- Nov. 25 marks the arrival of Small Business Saturday across the nation. And Illinoisans have a lot to appreciate. For all the talk of big-box dominance, mom and pop shops are the Land of Lincoln’s economic workhorses. Businesses with fewer than 50 employees created the vast majority (75 percent) of net new jobs in Illinois last year, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis. And during the economic recovery from 2011 to 2016, businesses with fewer than […]

McCALEB: Reasons to be thankful in tax-and-spend Illinois

(Illinois News Network) -- Many Illinoisans will be hard-pressed this week to find something to be thankful for with regard to a state government that is taxing and spending its way to insolvency. The General Assembly passed a $5 billion income tax increase well beyond the end of the scheduled legislative schedule that went into effect retroactive to July 1. And yet the spending plan that was approved alongside that tax hike still is nearly $2 billion out of balance. So […]

HAMILTON: Balancing out the lobbyists

One of the quirks of life in Washington, D.C., is that pretty much the only people who don’t refer to lobbyists by that name are, well, lobbyists. They’re “policy advisors,” or “strategic counsel,” or “public relations advisors,” or lawyers, or even just “consultants.” Whatever they’re called, though, they play a huge role in making policy. For the most part, they are able, well-informed, and skillful at what they do. Their aim is to develop a cordial relationship with policy-makers — […]

MARTIRE: A historical lesson on tax cuts

To stimulate the U.S. economy to “levels you haven’t seen in many years”— President Trump is proposing to cut federal income taxes, for most folks in general, but predominately for really affluent families and mega-corporations. His proposal is so skewed to the wealthy that over the next 10 years, more than half of his multi-trillion dollar tax cut will go to the wealthiest one percent. Big business does well too, gaining an estimated $4.1 trillion tax cut during the next […]

Mac’s Korner: Week of November 22, 2017

Mac's Korner: Week of November 22, 2017 Late one night in Washington, DC a mugger wearing a ski mask jumped into the path of Harry Reid and stuck a gun in his ribs; "Give me your money," he demanded. Indignant, Harry replied, "Don't you know who I am?" You can't do this...I am Senate Minority Leader, Harry Reid! I have been a United States Congressman since 1987. "In that case," the mugger said, "give me my money." .... Ronald Reagan […]
