Pritzker highlights the benefits of taxing people who make more at a higher rate than those who don’t. “As governor, I’ll fight to pass a progressive income tax,” he says in the ad. “It will make the wealthy pay more, […]

Possible Ives run against Rauner called ‘best piece of news’

BURR RIDGE (Heartland Newsfeed) -- Mickey Straub says Gov. Bruce Rauner is out. “The way I see it, the governor has three strikes,” Straub said in a recent interview. “For conservatives, by signing HB 40 alone, he expanded government, increased taxes and violated religious liberties. There’s no coming back from that.” Straub, who recently launched his campaign to unseat Rep. Jim Durkin (R-Western Springs) in the 82nd District, was charged to hear that Rep. Jeanne Ives (R-Wheaton) is collecting signatures […]

SPRINGFIELD (Heartland Newsfeed) -- Rep. Allen Skillicorn (R-East Dundee) has some harsh words for Gov. Bruce Rauner. “Rauner has failed as a leader, both as governor and head of the Illinois Republican Party,” Skillicorn said, according to a press release. "His list of failures as Governor include owning the massive 32% tax hike, which from my perspective, he didn’t raise a finger to stop and contained not a single reform; over $30 Million that will be spent on Medicaid abortions; […]

SINCLAIR: If it’s billionaire vs. billionaire, I’m sitting election out

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 the newspapers for reporting on the candidates’ wealth and declaring it news. How about giving equal coverage to the candidates running who don’t have silver spoons in their mouths? I blame Springfield for allowing our campaigns to be financed with ridiculous […]
