COMMENTARY: New legislative cycle, same old chaos

As a new General Assembly legislative session convenes this week, the same political chaos continues. The newly-established Democratic super-majority continued to elect the same corrupt leadership in Michael Madigan and John Cullerton, just as Republicans did the same with Jim Durkin and Bill Brady. This only confirms that the duopoly embraces corruption. In other words, the same political clusterfuck still exists: Illinois still spends nearly $143.79 billion for every $108.53 billion taken in. The state has an operational debt of […]

Rix Quinn’s Minute Story: New year resolutions

I discovered long ago that the best New Year resolutions require the least effort. Big plans often lead to big problems. Listen to these horror stories: One of my friends vowed to lose 175 pounds. So she divorced her husband. Another resolved to marry. That didn’t work, because that same year her boyfriend resolved to break up. Complicated resolutions require extreme action. No one should ever take a giant step, except maybe on Leap Year. Perhaps these tips will help: […]

GUEST EDITORIAL: Pensions keep Illinois in fiscal turmoil

Goodbye to Illinois’ $130 billion pension hole. Now it’s $133 billion. And getting deeper. Sometimes the clearest warning about Illinois’ fiscal crisis can be communicated using numbers, sometimes with a well-chosen phrase. Here we present both, as reminders during the period before a new Democratic governor takes office with a Democratic mega-majority, that the state’s messes will only worsen. Until lawmakers take decisive action. First, the awful numbers: For several years we’ve cited the figure of $130 billion to represent Illinois’ […]

OP-ED: Holiday shopping and the sales tax Scrooge

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’ […]

OP-ED: Two wrongs don’t make a right in ‘Fight for $15’ debate

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 […]

COMMENTARY: Threats of violence have no place in politics

(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 […]

SCOTT: A ‘yes’ vote for Small Business Saturday makes year-round impact

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 […]

EDITORIAL: It’s time to establish a Libertarian media conglomerate

(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 […]
