Decision 2018

Republican sponsor of Ill. bump stock ban insulted bill remains in committee

SPRINGFIELD (Illinois News Network) -- The Democrat-controlled Illinois legislature passed up an opportunity to approve a bipartisan and gun-rights group-supported bill to ban a controversial firearm add-on, and it’s unlikely they’ll act on anything soon. In the aftermath of last month’s Las Vegas mass shooting where the shooter used bump stock devices to accelerate the rate of fire for semiautomatic rifles, killing 58 and injuring hundreds, the Illinois House overwhelmingly voted down a measure from state Rep. Marty Moylan (D-Des Plaines) […]

SPRINGFIELD (Illinois News Network) -- Lawmakers passed bills, took classes and made endorsed statements saying the culture of sexual harassment in Springfield was on its way to finally being addressed. But others say it wasn’t near enough to persuade victims to come forward.

Ira […]

Despite outflow of high earners, Democratic gubernatorial candidates push progressive tax

CHICAGO (Illinois News Network) -- With an entire year until the 2018 election for Illinois governor, instituting a progressive tax is already emerging as a battleground topic in the race. In one of his newest campaign ads, Democratic gubernatorial candidate J.B. Pritzker highlights the benefits of taxing people who make more at a higher rate than those who don’t. “As governor, I’ll fight to pass a progressive income tax,” he says in the ad. “It will make the wealthy pay more, […]

Skillicorn calls for more progress on ending sexual harassment

SPRINGFIELD (Heartland Newsfeed) -- Rep. Allen Skillicorn (R-East Dundee) wants the sexual harassment conversation in the General Assembly to continue. At a House hearing on Oct. 31, activist Denise Rotheimer accused Senate Majority Caucus Whip Ira Silverstein (D-Chicago) of sexually harassing her a year ago, and Chicago-based political fundraiser Katelyn Duncan gathered approximately 300 signatures in a show of solidarity over sexual harassment in Illinois politics. That's why Skillicorn wants to continue talks on SB402, which mandates annual sexual harassment […]

Illinois Policy: Barbara Flynn Currie to receive 6-figure pension after first year of retirement

CHICAGO (Illinois Policy Institute) -- The longtime House majority leader will benefit from a sweetener provision that grants massive pension spikes to career lawmakers after one year of retirement. Illinois House Majority Leader Barbara Flynn Currie (D-Chicago) has announced she will not run for re-election in 2018. Large pension payouts await the longtime lawmaker. And the fund from which those payouts will be drawn is one example of how Illinois’ most powerful politicians have shown little interest in leading the […]
