If next year’s election comes down to Bruce Rauner versus J.B. Pritzker, I’m not voting.  I have not missed voting in 35 years, but I will not cast a vote for either man. Why? I blame everybody.

I blame Springfield for allowing our campaigns to be financed with ridiculous […]

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.
