Debate sparks again on making Chicago its own state

SPRINGFIELD (Heartland Newsfeed) -- There has been ongoing discussion in the past eight years in regards to distancing downstate Illinois from the city of Chicago and debate that took place on the floor of the Illinois House was no different. Rep. Reggie Phillips (R-Charleston) was no different with the presentation of House Resolution 1138, a resolution urging the United States Congress to declare the city as the 51st state in the nation, separating the city from the remainder of Illinois.

GUEST COMMENTARY: Straight-party voting doesn’t empower people; it protects dominant parties

This guest commentary is presented by Heath Haussamen from New Mexico Politics. All links listed in the commentary will remain for this publication. Elections systems should make voting easy for qualified voters, but not at the expense of encouraging people to make informed decisions. The state’s recent move to consolidate most local elections is an important change because it simplifies voting and empowers people. Starting in 2019, New Mexicans will have an easier time knowing when elections are held. Because they have […]

McCarter says there are more important issues than marijuana to ask voters about

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 […]
