SPRINGFIELD (Illinois News Network) -- Add a Republican senator from Central Illinois to the growing list of Illinois lawmakers who say the state should legalize recreational marijuana. State Sen.

Illinois considers following other U.S. states in buying hacking insurance

SPRINGFIELD (Illinois News Network) -- With data breaches becoming more and more common, states are beginning to join corporations in getting insured for data breaches.

In a tough year, some new Illinois laws to welcome

DABROWSKI: A near-perfect way to hike property taxes in Illinois

Local officials and union leaders have employed a near-perfect method to pressure residents into accepting higher taxes year after year: Sell the idea that communities around them are more generous than their own. To do that, they consistently point to neighboring communities’ higher salaries, benefits and programs to justify additional spending, then push their own residents into accepting higher taxes to pay for that spending.
