EDITORIAL: Illinois Family Institute is truly ignorant on the benefits of legal pot

There are times when we know some editorials and letters to the editor are so outrageously ridiculous, they don't even warrant being seen in the public eye, whether online or in your daily newspaper. I've ran into this twice today regarding the same letter to the editor that was submitted this afternoon.

Allen Skillicorn, David McSweeney call on legislature to repeal Trust Act

SPRINGFIELD (Heartland Newsfeed) -- Illinois State Representatives Allen Skillicorn (R-East Dundee) and David McSweeney (R-Park Ridge) have asked the General Assembly to convene a special session to immediately repeal the Trust Act, which some say has moved Illinois to sanctuary state status, according to a release from Skillicorn.
