MARTIRE: A historical lesson on tax cuts

To stimulate the U.S. economy to “levels you haven’t seen in many years”— President Trump is proposing to cut federal income taxes, for most folks in general, but predominately for really affluent families and mega-corporations. His proposal is so skewed to the wealthy that over the next 10 years, more than half of his multi-trillion dollar tax cut will go to the wealthiest one percent. Big business does well too, gaining an estimated $4.1 trillion tax cut during the next […]

Why is Springfield’s #MeToo movement against sexual harassment still in the dark? The Ethics Commission, some say

SPRINGFIELD (Illinois News Network) -- Anti-sexual harassment advocates, workplace harassment lawyers, even lawmakers themselves say stories of a rampant sexism and harassment culture under the dome in Springfield show that legislators are incapable of policing themselves. A new bill could provide an answer to that problem. The Legislative Ethics Commission is a panel of lawmakers, four Democrat, four Republican, that oversees new Legislative Inspector General Julie Porter, lawmakers' ethics watchdog. Porter was appointed after the office went vacant for years, all […]

Republican sponsor of Ill. bump stock ban insulted bill remains in committee

SPRINGFIELD (Illinois News Network) -- The Democrat-controlled Illinois legislature passed up an opportunity to approve a bipartisan and gun-rights group-supported bill to ban a controversial firearm add-on, and it’s unlikely they’ll act on anything soon. In the aftermath of last month’s Las Vegas mass shooting where the shooter used bump stock devices to accelerate the rate of fire for semiautomatic rifles, killing 58 and injuring hundreds, the Illinois House overwhelmingly voted down a measure from state Rep. Marty Moylan (D-Des Plaines) […]

Congressional Dems propose taxpayer-funded private pension bailout

An expert thinks that states like Illinois, with hundreds of billions of dollars in public pension debt, would try to be next in line, making the effort unfeasible. U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio is introducing legislation that would allow underfunded private pension systems to borrow from the Federal treasury, with no interest, in order to shore up their members’ retirement fund. The legislation, which […]

McCaleb: Legislators break into song and dance when real fix is needed

(Illinois News Network) -- I've been called many things, but handy isn't one of them. When something around the house breaks, I usually take a look at the problem, dig through my toolbox, look some more, and then call someone to fix it. Don't get me wrong. I can change a lightbulb and even have replaced the battery in our smoke detector. But if something more complicated stops working – say, the washing machine – I don't have a chance on […]

Commentary: Time for a sane alternative to the Moore circus, write in Ron Bishop for U.S. Senate

Recent revelations regarding sexual misconduct from Republican U.S. Senate Roy Moore has turned the special election for Jeff Sessions' vacated seat into a carnival sideshow. Accusations from five women so far have involved statements that Moore made improper sexual advances on teenage girls while serving as a district attorney decades ago in Gadsen, Alabama. Dozens of Republican lawmakers, including Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell, Arizona Sen. John McCain and senior Alabama Sen. Richard Shelby, have called for Moore to withdraw […]
