Illinois Department of Agriculture receives over 300 industrial hemp applications in two days

SPRINGFIELD (Heartland Newsfeed) -- Illinois has been officially an industrial hemp state for three days and the Illinois Department of Agriculture (IDOA) has no plans on stopping anytime soon in their pursuit of industrial hemp growers and processors in the Land of Lincoln. In less than two days, IDOA received 369 applications -- 295 growers and 74 processors -- which resulted in departmental staff immediately reviewing the applications, which is the first step in the approval process. Applications were opened […]

Halbrook calls out Pritzker pay hikes for government employees

SPRINGFIELD (Heartland Newsfeed) -- Illinois governor J.B. Pritzker's varied actions from the $15 minimum wage to hiking salaries for senior members of his staff with a 15 percent raise to doubling the salaries of his top 20 staffers among his first acts as the state's top official amounts nothing more than a slap in the face of the state's taxpayers. It has provoked much ire among taxpayers, Libertarians and Republicans, and among them is State Rep. Brad Halbrook. “It just […]

Miller: $15 minimum wage would be a mistake

SPRINGFIELD (Heartland Newsfeed) -- Freshman state Rep. Chris Miller is curious as to how many of his colleagues in the Illinois House of Representatives have a basic grasp on business, moreorless the basic tenets of economics. “I sometimes wonder if they know the whole concept of being in business is to make a profit for yourself,” Miller said. “On top of that, independent business owners take on the burden of going into business for themselves because they don’t want someone […]

Bailey fears state government won’t keep spending in check

SPRINGFIELD (Heartland Newsfeed) -- Newly sworn-in state Rep. Darren Bailey is fearing his suspicions about what would take place in Springfield are becoming reality. “This seems to send an early example of how Gov. Pritzker plans to spend us into oblivion,” Bailey, the Republican newcomer from Xenia, stated in regards to the passage of Senate Bill 3531 during the lame duck legislative session, which increases the annual salaries of state departmental workers, associate directors and secretaries by 15 percent. “Then […]

SPRINGFIELD (Illinois News Network) -- Illinois' new governor wants to have a road map, by April, of where Illinois needs to invest to grow jobs in new industries and maybe in new locations. Governor J.B. Pritzker said Illinois is the fifth largest economy in the country and needs to start acting like it. He used his second full day in office to order a jobs study that will look at where Illinois is making – and should be making – […]

COMMENTARY: New legislative cycle, same old chaos

As a new General Assembly legislative session convenes this week, the same political chaos continues. The newly-established Democratic super-majority continued to elect the same corrupt leadership in Michael Madigan and John Cullerton, just as Republicans did the same with Jim Durkin and Bill Brady. This only confirms that the duopoly embraces corruption. In other words, the same political clusterfuck still exists: Illinois still spends nearly $143.79 billion for every $108.53 billion taken in. The state has an operational debt of […]

Illinois congressional delegation to shrink after 2020 Census

SPRINGFIELD (Illinois News Network) -- Continued population loss means Illinois will have to say goodbye to one at least one of its 18 congressional representatives after the 2020 Census. Election Data Services recently released its annual projections of which states will gain and lose U.S. Representatives at the next turn of the decade. The projections show Illinois’ 18th Representative will almost certainly be removed and given to another state, said Kimball Brace. Other states projected to lose seats include Alabama, California, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, […]
