Illinois distributes $25M to local pharmacies

CHICAGO (Capitol News Illinois) — Gov. JB Pritzker announced Friday that 434 Illinois pharmacies will receive nearly $25 million in support, the first distribution of annual funding established through legislation he signed last year.

Illinois budget picture tightens in final stretch

SPRINGFIELD (Capitol News Illinois) -- Growing pessimism over the direction of the global economy is leading budget analysts for the governor’s office and Illinois’ legislature to temper revenue expectations less than three weeks before lawmakers are set to finalize a new budget. Both the governor’s budget office and the General Assembly’s Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability revised revenue projections for the current year and fiscal year 2027 down by less than 1%. While the change is small and generally […]

MILLER: Can the Bears bill get across the goal line?

“We’re almost there” on a Bears stadium bill, Rep. Kam Buckner (D-Chicago) told some sports radio hosts on a Friday morning before the House returned to Springfield for three days of session last week. “We’re very close.” Asked if the rumor spread by sports business pundit Marc Ganis earlier that week was true about House Speaker Chris Welch holding up the Bears bill, Buckner, the House’s point person on the state megaprojects bill that includes the Arlington Heights Bears stadium […]

Illinois weighs impact of data center boom

SPRINGFIELD (The Daily Yonder) -- In the early 2000s, Lori McKiernan worked in a data center outside Denver, Colorado, for a stint during her career with United Airlines. Two decades later, she’s leading an organized effort to pause data center development where she now lives in Sangamon County, Illinois. This new crop of data centers, which are springing up around rural America to power artificial intelligence, is different, McKiernan said. “I’m not against data centers. But I must say, the more I […]

CAPITOL FAX: Campaign crud

Unless you’ve been under a rock, you likely know that former U.S. President Bill Clinton seemed to say that he flew on Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet with JB Pritzker and his spouse. That was after saying that it was likely that Epstein, as well as his notorious co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell, were passengers on every flight he took on that plane. Clinton made his remarks during a deposition taken by the U.S. House Oversight Committee last month. He was asked during […]

MILLER: Bears infrastructure plan brewing in Springfield

Illinois House Democrats were told last week that a state capital projects plan designed to assist Arlington Heights’ bid to lure the Chicago Bears away from their Indiana stadium gambit would cost up to $895 million. None of the money would be used to directly build the new Bears stadium or the surrounding commercial district envisioned by the team’s ownership. Gov. JB Pritzker insisted to reporters earlier this month that the projects would be done to help enhance the area. Capital assistance […]

Graduated income tax in Illinois remains political longshot

SPRINGFIELD (Capitol News Illinois) — When a progressive Chicago alderperson scolded Gov. JB Pritzker in November over his opposition to Mayor Brandon Johnson’s failed proposal to tax large corporations $21 per employee, Illinois’ billionaire chief executive was quick with a retort defending his progressive bona fides. “What we need is a progressive income tax, a graduated income tax in this state,” Pritzker told Chicago Ald. Byron Sigcho-Lopez, a democratic socialist who confronted him following a Veterans Day commemoration in Little […]
