Illinois municipal group seeks more local input on COVID-19 action

SPRINGFIELD (The Center Square) -- Gov. J.B. Pritzker has criticized local governments for not enforcing his COVID-19 orders, placing blame for increased cases at their feet. Local governments are looking for more collaboration from the governor. In Springfield and Sangamon County, officials are issuing fines and suspending food licenses. In a neighboring county, Jacksonville mayor Andy Ezard said they don’t have the capacity to enforce. “With our numbers with our police department, there are four or five officers on duty each […]

EDITORIAL: Wake Forest online editorial sure sounds like it’s bashing third-party voters

An editorial published Thursday morning in Wake Forest University's Old Gold & Black newspaper 'Third party voting minimizes electoral impact' surely appears to be attacking voters of third-party candidates. Let's go through this editorial hit piece by Alexandra Karlinchak paragraph by paragraph, shall we? Trump and Biden are part of the problem, not the solution With only 54 days until the 2020 election, tensions around the country are running at an all-time high. There is a lot at stake for a […]

Skillicorn, GOP colleagues call for special legislative session to tackle ethics reform

SPRINGFIELD (Heartland Newsfeed) -- Several members of the Republican caucus are calling for a special session in order to bring ethics reform to the General Assembly, but it doesn't seem likely it will happen this month. State Rep. Allen Skillicorn (R-Crystal Lake) recently called for a special session on Twitter, citing that "ending the culture of corruption" is key and "is not rocket science." Skillicorn and four other colleagues -- Brad Halbrook (R-Shelbyville), Blaine Wilhour (R-Beecher City), Chris Miller (R-Oakland) […]

Democrats call for ban on assault weapons in Illinois

SPRINGFIELD (Illinois News Network) -- Illinois Democrats have introduced an ambitious gun control bill that would ban the sale or unregistered possession of dozens of firearms labeled as assault weapons. Sen. Julie Morrison (D-Deerfield) introduced Senate Bill 107 Wednesday, which would prohibit a range of rifles, pistols and shotguns and require every such weapon in the state to be registered with the Illinois State Police. Owners would pay a $25 fee for that registration. A person found in possession of one of the […]

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 […]

Illinois congressional delegation to shrink after 2020 Census

SPRINGFIELD (Illinois News Network) -- Continued population loss means Illinois will have to say goodbye to one at least one of its 18 congressional representatives after the 2020 Census. Election Data Services recently released its annual projections of which states will gain and lose U.S. Representatives at the next turn of the decade. The projections show Illinois’ 18th Representative will almost certainly be removed and given to another state, said Kimball Brace. Other states projected to lose seats include Alabama, California, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, […]

Continued out-migration from Illinois could mean dire consequences

DECATUR (Heartland Newsfeed) -- When it comes to Illinois' shrinking population, the numbers reported don't tell the full story. This is what representative-elect Dan Caulkins (R-Decatur), who was elected to succeed Bill Mitchell (R-Decatur) last month, believes when it comes to one of the largest shrinking populations in the nation. "It's not just that we're losing people," Caulkins stated in a news release. Caulkins stated that the shrinking population involves many of the state's workforce in the private sector, which […]

COMMENTARY: Threats of violence have no place in politics

(Heartland Newsfeed) -- The lame duck session of the Illinois General Assembly got incredibly ugly Wednesday during discussion regarding overriding a bill veto. A bill which would increase the cap on tort lawsuit payouts from its current $100,000 to a cap of $2 million was placed under an amendatory veto by outgoing Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner. During debate in the veto override, in which legitimate financial concerns were made by Rep. Peter Breen (R-Lombard) were later mocked by Rep. Stephanie […]

Marron earns Republican nod to fill out term in District 104

DANVILLE (Heartland Newsfeed) -- Republican officials in Champaign and Vermilion counties chose a successor to state Rep. Chad Hays (R-Catlin), who opted to leave office this fall. Officials met Wednesday and unanimously named Mike Marron as Hays' replacement in House District 104 until the end of the term in January. Marron, who is Vermilion County board chairman, cites that there is no unfair advantage in his appointment, stating that he'll already be representing the district in January. Facing off against […]
