Illinois representatives sound off on failure of federal farm bill

SPRINGFIELD (Illinois News Network) -- A new farm bill faces an uncertain future after conservative House Republicans wanting a vote on an unrelated immigration bill joined Democrats in defeating the legislation. Between Democrats opposing work requirements for food stamp recipients and conservative Republicans wanting a vote on a tougher immigration bill, they had enough votes to sink the farm bill. The 600-page legislation would renew the federal laws on farmer subsidy programs like reimbursement for crop insurance, but the biggest […]

SPRINGFIELD/CHICAGO (Heartland Newsfeed) -- Several rural counties in Illinois are taking a stand for gun rights by utilizing a word that conservatives associate with liberal policies as an attempt to skirt the law: sanctuary. Five counties at minimum have recently passed resolutions declaring themselves as sanctuary counties for gun owners. It is a reference to Chicago, which has become a sanctuary city that doesn't cooperate with aspects of immigration enforcement from the Federal government. These resolutions are intended to put the […]

Illinois Senate panel tentatively OKs plan to feed wild deer

SPRINGFIELD (Illinois News Network) -- People are not supposed to feed wild deer in Illinois.

McCALEB OP-ED: Collapse of Harvey’s finances signals what’s to come across Illinois

(Illinois News Network) -- The unfolding fiscal crisis in south suburban Harvey should send shivers down the spines of public employees and retirees across Illinois. It also should give pause to taxpayers, who already pay the highest combined local and state taxes in the country and who continually are being forced to pay more because of unsustainable public pension benefits and a culpable state government that refuses to do anything about them. Last fall, Illinois' First District Appellate Court ordered the city of […]

CHICAGO (Illinois News Network) -- There's a growing push to change how Illinois handles early voting. The first day of early voting for the March 20th primary was Feb. 8. That's 40 days before the election. Board of Election Commissioners for the City of Chicago spokesman Jim Allen told a crowd at an Illinois Campaign for Political Reform event on Thursday that Illinois' early voting law is unworkable because it requires local election offices to be ready a month and ten days […]

Trump orders examination of USPS operations, finances

WASHINGTON (UPI) -- President Donald Trump has formed a new task force to examine the operations model of the U.S. Postal Service, in view of mounting financial losses. Trump signed an executive order Thursday to form the panel, days after he blasted online retailer Amazon for making the USPS its "delivery boy." The order said a decline in first-class mail volume, coupled with legal mandates that force the USPS to incur substantial and inflexible costs, resulted in a deficit where revenues can no […]
