COMMENTARY: New legislative cycle, same old chaos

As a new General Assembly legislative session convenes this week, the same political chaos continues. The newly-established Democratic super-majority continued to elect the same corrupt leadership in Michael Madigan and John Cullerton, just as Republicans did the same with Jim Durkin and Bill Brady. This only confirms that the duopoly embraces corruption. In other words, the same political clusterfuck still exists: Illinois still spends nearly $143.79 billion for every $108.53 billion taken in. The state has an operational debt of […]

Lawmakers again elect Madigan as House Speaker

SPRINGFIELD (Illinois News Network) -- For the 18th time in the past 36 years, members of the Illinois House selected state Rep. Michael Madigan to serve as speaker, giving the Chicago Democrat broad authority over everything from committee assignments to which bills get called for a vote. Madigan is longest-serving state legislative leader in the United States. He's had the gavel in the House for all but two years since 1983. Madigan also has been chairman of the state Democratic Party […]

COMMENTARY: Voter choice and candidate suppression needs to become a criminal offense

(Heartland Newsfeed) -- Illinois is unfortunately known for political corruption and the suppression of voter and candidate choice. It's been a common and deceptive practice that has been going on for decades. 2018, unfortunately, is no different. As of several hours ago, a warning was given by the Libertarian Party of Illinois that the Illinois Republican Party is up their usual tricks again trying to throw the party slate off the general election ticket. PUTTING THE WORD OUT: Republicans are […]

GUEST EDITORIAL: Illinois unfairly suppresses third-party candidates

The following was previously published yesterday by the Belleville News-Democrat editorial board. Maybe voter suppression isn't our problem. Maybe it's candidate suppression. Do you know who Sam McCann is? How about Grayson "Kash" Jackson? They are two choices for Illinois governor. That may confuse most folks because most folks think the two choices were made March 20. That was the Illinois primary, when billionaire J.B. Pritzker got 45 percent of the vote against five other Democrats and billionaire Bruce Rauner eked out a […]

GUEST EDITORIAL: More candidates + more choices = more voters

The following guest editorial was previously published yesterday by the Northwest Herald editorial board. Monday was a day of significance on the Illinois electoral calendar, but just how much significance remains to be seen. That day marked the deadline for independent and third-party candidates to file nomination petitions for the fall’s general election ballot. With respect to all candidates in every such race across the state, we turn to the top of the ticket, where Libertarian Kash Jackson filed his […]

With union backing, McCann joins race for Illinois governor

SPRINGFIELD (Illinois News Network) -- Illinois state Sen. Sam McCann (R-Plainview) announced Thursday that he plans run as a third-party candidate for governor – a move that likely would siphon votes from incumbent Gov. Bruce Rauner. The first-term governor is widely viewed as an underdog in the race for the state's highest office against billionaire J.B. Pritzker. McCann's campaign with the Conservative Party stands to draw votes away from Rauner, who has alienated many conservative voters. Rauner narrowly defeated […]
