Bourne proposes legislation to repeal the estate tax

LITCHFIELD (Heartland Newsfeed) -- Agriculture runs deep in our American heritage and has been a key component of our state’s history. Illinois, with over 72,000 farms that cover 27 million acres, is an agricultural powerhouse that should be recognized and fostered. One crippling challenge for many Illinois farming families is how to pass the farm on to the next generation after the death of the owner. Currently, Illinois’ estate tax law disproportionately impacts small family farms. The value of these farms, […]

Shrinking Decatur to face budgetary hurdles in coming year

DECATUR (Illinois Policy Institute) -- After passing an unbalanced budget in 2017, Decatur will have to address its declining population and revenue as it looks ahead to crafting future budgets. Gov. Bruce Rauner’s budget proposal for fiscal year 2019 continues a reduction to a state financial shell game. While ultimately a benefit for Illinois taxpayers, it’s a move that will force shrinking cities to reform local finances. As part of the fiscal year 2018 budget state lawmakers passed in July 2017, […]

And One More Thing…Legalization of Drugs

And one more thing… This past Sunday I had Matthew C. Scaro, who is running for Illinois Governor under the Libertarian Party banner, on my show. Before I get into this, I’d like to thank Mr. Scaro for coming down and traveling four hours in a snowstorm to arrive come on my show. With that being said, the debate that followed was legendary. We debated on many issues for an hour and a half. One issue though that left a […]

Illinois teachers saw union dues flow to Chicago groups, politics and Madigan

SPRINGFIELD (Illinois Policy Institute) -- Government worker unions can use their members' dues in any number of ways. The most recent federal filings of one of Illinois' largest teachers unions reveal millions of dollars directed disproportionately to Chicago and to political causes with which their members may disagree.

SPRINGFIELD (Illinois News Network) -- A state representative says his idea of mirroring Illinois law to the recent federal tax reform to allow for tax free investments for K-12 education will help keep investments in Illinois’ accounts and not diverted to other states. State Rep.
