IlliniGuys Sports Spectacular (Weekend of March 1, 2025) Heartland Newsfeed
The average American will spend around $800 on gifts this Christmas. But making those holiday buys in Illinois will leave many families wishing they could get more bang for their buck. Illinois passed its first state sales tax – 2 percent on all retail goods – all the way back in 1933. It not only replaced revenue that came from the old statewide property tax, but brought in a lot of new money as well. Fast forward to today: Illinois’ […]
The "Fight for $15" an hour is back in Illinois, although it's not likely to be much of a fight and this time there's a bit of a twist. Democratic Gov.-elect J.B. Pritzker is telling anyone who will listen that he wants to gradually raise the state's minimum wage to $15 an hour starting in the first six months of his term that begins in January. Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner vetoed the last legislative attempt to gradually raise the state's […]
(Heartland Newsfeed) -- The lame duck session of the Illinois General Assembly got incredibly ugly Wednesday during discussion regarding overriding a bill veto. A bill which would increase the cap on tort lawsuit payouts from its current $100,000 to a cap of $2 million was placed under an amendatory veto by outgoing Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner. During debate in the veto override, in which legitimate financial concerns were made by Rep. Peter Breen (R-Lombard) were later mocked by Rep. Stephanie […]
Election Day has passed but you still have time to make one more “Yes” vote. I’d like to ask for you to do that for Small Business Saturday, which is Nov. 24 this year. Why is a yes for Small Business Saturday so important? Approximately 30 million small businesses ignite our local economies and enrich our communities throughout the year. In so many ways, they act as the glue that holds communities together. Small businesses create two out of every […]
(Heartland Newsfeed) -- 2018 made my fifth election cycle that I've voted in, but I have become incredibly disgusted with the biased coverage by the mainstream media which are either biased to the left or biased to the right. While Libertarian candidates getting more media coverage than in 2014 or 2016, the mainstream media still chooses to paint the candidates in a negative light and even go as far as setting ridiculous requirements for debate inclusion. While some major newspapers […]
As I engage with voters on the campaign trail, I hear over and over again, “Why should I vote for you?” I always welcome the opportunity to share my beliefs and Libertarian philosophies about freedom and liberty. As your senator from Indiana, I will demand a balance budget. I will end deficit spending. I will stop politicians from taxing us all into the grave and beyond. I will work to roll back and eliminate every program that is not authorized […]
Being a third party has its own challenges. A clear example is the Libertarian and the fight for ballot access and major party status that has been going on since its inception in 1971. As a result of the 2016 presidential election, Libertarian affiliates in 42 states earned major or recognized status, as well as reduced ballot access thresholds. Iowa just happened to be one of these states, holding their first-ever Libertarian caucus earlier this year, with Jake "J.D." Porter […]
Sports fans, stop me if you’ve heard this one before - but soccer is on the rise in the United States. This time, however, this isn’t just a vague assertion from a hopeful commentator hoping to inflate the sport’s relevance with words. Rather, it’s a statistically proven fact. Per Gallup, soccer’s popularity has tripled in the last decade. It’s now the United States’ third most popular sport, and is closing in on the “big three” of football, basketball, and baseball […]
(Heartland Newsfeed) -- Libertarian and alternative candidates as of recent have made some serious moves in the past several weeks and it has become apparent that the voting public is seeking an alternative to the Democratic and Republican political machines. Illinois gubernatorial race In Illinois, Libertarian gubernatorial nominee Kash Jackson and Conservative Party nominee Sam McCann have appeared in five consecutive polls dating back to late June. In the June poll from Victory Research, Jackson polled at 2% while McCann […]
