MOODY: Come on, Illinois Democrats — do something

I am a liberal progressive living in the state of Illinois whose legislative body is controlled by the Democratic Party. As a liberal progressive, I have an affinity for the Democrats who generally promote the values I believe in, however our state is in miserable financial shape and has been for a long time. Our bonds are rated just a tad above junk, which means that we have to pay an interest premium to borrow money. Vendors who do business […]

Could elections in Illinois benefit from a change in how we vote?

SPRINGFIELD (Illinois News Network) -- Fair Vote, a non-partisan election reform group, advocates for a move to ranked-choice voting. Under the system, voters have the ability to rank as many candidates as they want in order of preference.

After narrow primary defeat, Ives supporters mixed on whether they’ll support Rauner in November

SPRINGFIELD (Illinois News Network) -- After Gov. Bruce Rauner narrowly defeated challenger Jeanne Ives in the primary for Illinois’ Republican candidate for governor, the question is now whether the first-term governor can persuade frustrated conservatives to vote for him this fall. When the numbers were tallied, Rauner had bested the conservative suburban Chicago lawmaker. But Ives turned out to be something more than the fringe candidate Rauner portrayed her as early in the campaign. He won by 20,000 votes, according […]

COMMENTARY: The establishment choices in Illinois are horrible. Vote different.

An unmitigated disaster that is the two-party system with one-party rule in Illinois and America contributed to such a dismal showing in Tuesday's primary election. That disaster comes in the form of two establishment representatives of the Republican and Democratic parties. The first half of this disaster is current Republican governor Bruce Rauner, who has been experiencing quite a backlash from staunch conservatives since he signed bills into law allowing for taxpayer funding of abortion procedures and the establishment of […]

The Illinois Department of Transportation handles claims for pothole-related vehicle damage on state highways, but spokeswoman Gianna Urgo warned that not all claims will be eligible for payouts. “The department evaluates each claim […]

McCarter says there are more important issues than marijuana to ask voters about

SPRINGFIELD (Heartland Newsfeed) -- A Republican state senator recently stated that there are more important things to ask Illinois voters than the proposed referendum to legalize the recreational use of marijuana. Sen. Kyle McCarter (R-Lebanon) stated in a March 1 debate on the floor of the Illinois Senate that the legalization of marijuana is not a top priority for a statewide referendum in a financially strapped Prairie State. Nine states and the District of Columbia have legalized the recreational use […]
