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 […]

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 […]

And One More Thing…Demand for Teachers in Illinois

And one more thing… In my last show I was talking about job opportunities in the state of Illinois for those who wanted to be an educator at any level. As I mentioned, the state is making it more and more difficult for those who want to teach in the state due to high requirements to earn a state education licensure. Issues such as the high requirements for practicum hours, not having a degree in four years, and extra assessments […]

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

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 […]
