CHICAGO (The Center Square) – Gov. J.B. Pritzker has announced a new way to go after Illinois businesses that open early in defiance of his emergency order to remain closed.

(Libertarian Media Network) -- The first stage of nationwide petitioning for ballot access has been carried out by Democrats and Republicans. However, we see dozens of political parties and independents stuck without access to ballots.

Illinois businesses buckle down amid growing coronavirus concerns

SPRINGFIELD (The Center Square) — As fears over the spread of the coronavirus grow, Illinois’ retail and service sectors are preparing for already thin profit margins getting thinner. Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot announced Wednesday the cancellation of the city's St. Patrick’s Day parades, turning away what Gov. J.B. Pritzker said brought more than a million people to the city. “We don’t take it lightly,” Lightfoot said. “Nonetheless, we concluded that holding a parade at this time posed an unnecessary risk to […]

COMMENTARY: Decatur limiting public comments is the bastardization of transparency. You should be concerned.

(Heartland Newsfeed) -- If you live in Decatur, Ill., you should be concerned. Concerned about your First Amendment rights to redress, petition and criticize your government for the ever-increasing pile of wrongdoings they have done to you. During Monday night's meeting of the Decatur City Council, mayor Julie Moore-Wolfe and three aldermen -- Lisa Gregory, Chuck Kuhle and Pat McDaniel -- voted to limit public comments to only the beginning of the meeting, meaning no public time to address meeting […]
