Illinois Policy: Illinois lawmakers stampede for the exit

SPRINGFIELD (Illinois Policy Institute) -- The most likely driver is pretty obvious to most Illinoisans: the rage of constituents. Thirty state lawmakers in the 100th General Assembly will not be holding their seats in the 101st General Assembly. And that’s not even counting those who might be ousted at the ballot box next year. The exodus is unlike anything Springfield insiders have ever seen. National polling data has long shown Illinoisans at the bottom of the barrel when it comes […]

CHICAGO (Heartland Newsfeed) -- The Libertarian Party of Illinois was handed a victory by the Seventh District of the U.S. Circuit Court Friday, declaring an Illinois elections requirement that third parties must run a full slate of candidates to earn ballot access unconstitutional. “We have little difficulty concluding that the full-slate requirement severely burdens the First Amendment rights of minor parties, their members, and voters,” Judge Diane Sykes said, writing for the unanimous panel. “As a condition for ballot access, the […]

SPRINGFIELD (Heartland Newsfeed) -- Illinois state Sen. Dave Syverson (R-Rockford) joins state Rep.
