Bill would bar Madigan from serving as legislative leader and party chair

SPRINGFIELD (Illinois Policy Institute) -- The speaker is nationally unique in his ability to control politics and policy. Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan is the only legislative leader in the nation to also serve as a state party chairman, according to the Illinois Campaign for Political Reform, or ICPR. But that practice would be outlawed under a bill filed September 18 by state Rep. Margo McDermed (R-Mokena). House Bill 4097 would bar any member of the General Assembly from “concurrently […]

Emery: Packers, Bears prepare for 193rd meeting Thursday, lifetime series tied

The Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears renew the NFL’s oldest and longest rivalry when they meet for the 193rd time on Thursday night (7:25, CBS). Incredibly, it’s the rubber match. The series, which began in 1921, is a dead-level tie at 93-93-6 in regular-season play. A mere 16 points separates the teams over the life of the rivalry, as Green Bay holds a slight 3,300-3,284 edge in scoring. Recent history favors the Packers, as Aaron Rodgers is 13-3 against […]

Illinois Policy Institute: Moody’s warns delay of state funding for Illinois schools a ‘credit negative’

SPRINGFIELD/CHICAGO (Illinois Policy Institute) -- State lawmakers keep giving ratings agencies reasons to downgrade Illinois government: pension crises, years of bad budgets and a two-year budget impasse are just a few examples. All have caused the credit ratings of various Illinois governments – from cities to universities to the state itself – to collapse. Many are now junk-rated and the state is just one notch away from junk itself. Now the ratings agencies have yet another reason to downgrade some […]

Roman King: Illinois Can’t Keep Their Ducks in a Row

NOTE: The views expressed in this opinion-editorial do not necessarily reflect the views of its originating publication, 71 Republic, nor reflect the views of this publication, Heartland Newsfeed. Illinois, at this point, is a broken state, and it has been for years. As someone who has lived their entire life in Central Illinois, I have seen all the goings on of our state government, or, more accurately, lack thereof. I’ve witnessed two consecutive state governors thrown in jail on various […]

Remembering Henry David Thoreau and Civil Disobedience

Today, July 12, marks the 250th anniversary of the birth of Henry David Thoreau, known best for chronicling his experiment in simple and self-sufficient living in Walden. Less remembered, however, is that while living at Walden Pond, he gave an 1848 lecture on “Resistance to Civil Government”— since published as Civil Disobedience—which had much farther reaching effects. The book helped inspire the World War II resistance, Gandhi, Martin Luther King, those struggling against apartheid, and others. And it still has […]

Illinoisans are still waiting for their independence

More than 240 years ago, a group of individuals decided to stand up against a far-off king who taxed them without recourse. Americans honor their efforts each year on Independence Day. But the Illinois General Assembly has a funny way of celebrating. On July 2, the Illinois House passed a budget that includes the largest permanent income tax hike in state history and no structural spending reforms. The Senate concurred July 4, sending the budget plan to the governor’s desk. […]
