SPRINGFIELD (Illinois News Network) -- Add a Republican senator from Central Illinois to the growing list of Illinois lawmakers who say the state should legalize recreational marijuana. State Sen. Jason Barickman (R-Bloomington) says he is ready to support legal, recreational marijuana if the law is written correctly.

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) […]

Sherrod Brown of Ohio is introducing legislation that would allow underfunded private pension systems to borrow from the Federal treasury, with no interest, in order to shore up their members’ retirement fund.

McCaleb: Legislators break into song and dance when real fix is needed

(Illinois News Network) -- I've been called many things, but handy isn't one of them. When something around the house breaks, I usually take a look at the problem, dig through my toolbox, look some more, and then call someone to fix it. Don't get me wrong. I can change a lightbulb and even have replaced the battery in our smoke detector. But if something more complicated stops working – say, the washing machine – I don't have a chance on […]
