But others say it wasn’t near enough to persuade victims to come forward.

Ira […]

BURR RIDGE (Heartland Newsfeed) -- Illinois is slowly becoming unrecognizable in the eyes of Mickey Straub. “We’re losing at least one person every eight minutes now that’s moving out of the state because of all the rising taxes,” the Burr Ridge mayor who recently announced his campaign to unseat Rep. Jim Durkin (R-Western Springs) in the 82nd District said in an interview. “I don’t know why lawmakers won’t see that all these tax-and-spend policies are not working and are only […]

Illinois Policy: Illinois lawmakers stampede for the exit

SPRINGFIELD (Illinois Policy Institute) -- The most likely driver is pretty obvious to most Illinoisans: the rage of constituents. Thirty state lawmakers in the 100th General Assembly will not be holding their seats in the 101st General Assembly. And that’s not even counting those who might be ousted at the ballot box next year. The exodus is unlike anything Springfield insiders have ever seen. National polling data has long shown Illinoisans at the bottom of the barrel when it comes […]

A mere 16 points separates the teams over the life of the rivalry, as Green Bay holds a slight 3,300-3,284 edge in scoring. Recent history favors the Packers, as Aaron Rodgers is 13-3 against […]
