Chris Miller is curious as to how many of his colleagues in the Illinois House of Representatives have a basic grasp on business, moreorless the basic tenets of economics. “I sometimes wonder if they know the whole concept of being in business is to make a profit for yourself,” Miller said. “On top of that, independent business owners take on the burden of going into business for themselves because they don’t want someone […]

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.

The projections show Illinois’ 18th Representative will almost certainly be removed and given to another state, said Kimball Brace.
