Madigan influence on 2021 redistricting unclear, uncertain

SPRINGFIELD (The Center Square) – Illinois lawmakers will get another crack at redrawing the state’s political boundaries following this year’s Census, and that process every ten years has been run by House Speaker Michael Madigan for decades. University of Illinois politics professor Kent Redfield said with Madigan’s speakership uncertain, there could be a lot of uncertainty. “A strong leader that can exercise power that can kind of reign in that conflict, but if it becomes every person for themselves, then […]

COMMENTARY: A New Illinois won’t fix anything, Alan Webber

So, I'm spending a half-day on my 34th birthday working on the website when I get bombarded with a bunch of Google Alerts. One of these alerts relates to anything relating to the state of Illinois. Among one of these alert blasts, this ridiculous op-ed today from the Kankakee Daily Journal was among them. Not even two paragraphs in did op-ed columnist Alan Webber make some factual inaccuracies: Webber states, "However, if you review election returns, Biden didn’t win the […]

Illinois municipal group seeks more local input on COVID-19 action

SPRINGFIELD (The Center Square) -- Gov. J.B. Pritzker has criticized local governments for not enforcing his COVID-19 orders, placing blame for increased cases at their feet.

Illinois only Midwestern state with no high school football

BLOOMINGTON -- Illinois and 15 other states are foregoing playing high school football this fall. Instead, they're electing to postpone the season to the spring of 2021, due to COVID-19. While a proper safety measure for all involved, it is a severely missed opportunity for many in sports. This is especially true when the Fighting Illini and Chicago Bears are still allowed to play. IHSA assistant executive director Sam Knox understands the situation, yet expresses disappointment by the outcome. This […]
