Continued out-migration from Illinois could mean dire consequences

DECATUR (Heartland Newsfeed) -- When it comes to Illinois' shrinking population, the numbers reported don't tell the full story. This is what representative-elect Dan Caulkins (R-Decatur), who was elected to succeed Bill Mitchell (R-Decatur) last month, believes when it comes to one of the largest shrinking populations in the nation. "It's not just that we're losing people," Caulkins stated in a news release. Caulkins stated that the shrinking population involves many of the state's workforce in the private sector, which […]

Ousted Madigan aide strikes out at accuser

SPRINGFIELD (Illinois News Network) -- A former aide to House Speaker Michael Madigan shot back at the woman who accused him of sexual harassment earlier this year while downplaying her allegations. Madigan hasn’t been accused of harassment, but both his legislative and political offices have been hit as women have come forward. Most recently, Tim Mapes was fired from several positions, including his roles as Madigan's chief of staff and clerk of the House. Mapes was ousted after allegations of […]

Judge allows lawsuit accusing Madigan of running ‘sham candidates’ to go forward

CHICAGO (Illinois News Network) -- A Federal judge has ruled that a lawsuit accusing House Speaker Michael Madigan of running "sham candidates" in a 2016 election can move forward. U.S. District Judge Matthew Kennelly ruled that the powerful Chicago Democrat’s 2016 primary challenger for his state House seat can pursue part of his lawsuit claiming Madigan staged two dummy candidates to divert support from Jason Gonzales. "Gonzales alleges that when they became aware he was running, Madigan and his associates [the […]

McCALEB: What’s real as the primary election approaches

(Illinois News Network) -- Everyone who watches even just a bit of TV or who checks their mailboxes every now and then knows there's an election around the corner. The dubious campaign ads and colorful mailers with big scare headlines have been flooding both for weeks. I hope you're not paying attention to them. They're generally dishonest and tell you nothing real about why you should support one candidate over another. But with early voting well under way and the March […]

Illinois teachers saw union dues flow to Chicago groups, politics and Madigan

SPRINGFIELD (Illinois Policy Institute) -- Government worker unions can use their members' dues in any number of ways. The most recent federal filings of one of Illinois' largest teachers unions reveal millions of dollars directed disproportionately to Chicago and to political causes with which their members may disagree. Illinois teachers may be surprised where their union dues go. Each year, unions such as the Illinois Federation of Teachers, or IFT, are required to file federal reporting documents that outline the […]

BERG: Hold on to your wallets, Springfield back in session for 2018

State lawmakers will start returning to their perches in Springfield Jan. 23. What can Illinoisans expect? 2017 left a bad taste in the mouths of many. The year began with an impasse and ended in a torrent of treacherous policy choices. In exchange for waiting out a historic budget logjam, Illinoisans were rewarded with the largest permanent income tax hike in the Land of Lincoln’s history. And state lawmakers couldn’t even balance the budget with that extra money, as they […]

Caulkins: Budget ‘shell game’ to cost state $1.5 billion, 22,000 jobs

DECATUR (Heartland Newsfeed) -- Dan Caulkins is increasingly concerned about a provision in the state’s 2018 fiscal year budget he fears could cause taxpayers as much as $1.5 billion. Beyond the massive costs, Caulkins, who recently launched his campaign against Rep. Bill Mitchell (R-Forsyth) in the 101st District, said in a release the plan that diverts $300 million annually from the Illinois road fund could cost the state over 22,000 jobs. Caulkins points the finger of blame squarely at House […]

Gov. Rauner won’t commit to debate with GOP challenger Ives

JACKSONVILLE (Illinois News Network) -- Gov. Bruce Rauner won’t say if he’ll commit to debating his primary opponent before the March 20 Republican primary. At a stop in Jacksonville Friday morning, Rauner was asked if he’d commit to debating state Rep. Jeanne Ives, who has filed to run against Rauner in the March 20 Republican primary.
