Taxpayers cover costs of bad pension fund investment return predictions

SPRINGFIELD (Illinois News Network) -- As municipalities across the state determine how to spend taxpayers' money for the next year, they’re looking at what to expect for pension fund investment returns.

This Christmas, property taxes are robbing the McCallisters

WINNEKTA (Heartland Newsfeed/Illinois Policy Institute) -- Since 1990, the owners of 671 Lincoln Avenue have paid more than $783,000 in property taxes when adjusting for inflation. It’s a robbery even Kevin McCallister couldn’t prevent. In the small Cook County village of Winnetka, Illinois, sits the filming site of John Hughes’ 1990 Christmas classic, “Home Alone.” Located in New Trier Township, the house is something of a local legend as it made Chicago-area news when it changed owners in 2012. But […]

Caulkins: Budget ‘shell game’ to cost state $1.5 billion, 22,000 jobs

DECATUR (Heartland Newsfeed) -- Dan Caulkins is increasingly concerned about a provision in the state’s 2018 fiscal year budget he fears could cause taxpayers as much as $1.5 billion.

Illinois officials react to FCC’s net neutrality vote

She said the move “undermines the public interest by putting our free and open internet at risk.” Thursday’s vote, Madigan’s office said in […]
