SPRINGFIELD (Illinois News Network) -- With data breaches becoming more and more common, states are beginning to join corporations in getting insured for data breaches. Despite a 2016 breach of voter data, Illinois is still on the fence about getting coverage. A survey of 42 state chief information officers released last month showed a growing number of them are putting taxpayer dollars into insurance plans against data breaches. Thirty-eight percent said their state had taken up an insurance plan compared to 20 percent […]

In a tough year, some new Illinois laws to welcome

SPRINGFIELD (Heartland Newsfeed/Illinois Policy Institute) -- While 2017 was a bad year for Illinois taxpayers, there are bright spots among the bills that passed the General Assembly. There’s no doubt 2017 was a rough year for taxpayers across Illinois.

Burundi completes withdrawal process from International Criminal Court

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (UPI) -- Burundi officially withdrew from the International Criminal Court on Friday, a year after the government initiated proceedings saying the court was biased against African nations. The landlocked nation was one of three African countries to announce plans to leave the international body in 2016, but Gambia and South Africa decided to stay in. That leaves 122 member states in the ICC. African nations say the ICC focuses a disproportionate amount of time investigating the continent. The […]

CHICAGO/WASHINGTON (Illinois Policy Institute) -- For four decades, government workers have been denied their First Amendment right to freedom of association, but that could change with a U.S. Supreme Court decision in 2018. The First Amendment is among the most cherished parts of the U.S. Constitution. Among its provisions, the First Amendment guarantees everyone the right to choose with which organizations to associate. That includes the right to determine what organizations a person funds. Yet for 40 years, that right […]

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 […]
