State tax hike means Harrisburg elite couple get richer

HARRISBURG (Heartland Newsfeed) -- School’s out in the summertime. So when Harrisburg School District superintendent Mike Gauch and his wife Angella, a teacher in Carbondale, decided they would drive to Springfield earlier this month, getting out of work wasn’t a concern. Unlike most working adults in Saline County, they are off work in July. This year, they spent part of their summer vacation successfully lobbying for a state income tax hike. When the tax hike passed, Angella Gauch lauded state legislators on […]

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.

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 […]

OP-ED: We Are The Economy They Want To Regulate

Critics of the libertarian philosophy think they can score points by calling libertarians “market fundamentalists.” It’s supposed to conjure images of dogmatic religious fundamentalists, just like the term global warming denier is supposed to conjure images of Holocaust deniers. It’s a smear, of course, and if you think the tactic discredits those who employ it, I agree. The fact is that libertarians cannot be market fundamentalists. Why not? Because in the libertarian worldview, the market is not fundamental. What’s fundamental is every person’s right […]

ARLINGTON, Va. (Heartland Newsfeed via Morning Consult) -- Illinois trailed most states financially long before this year’s dramatic budget impasse, according to an annual report published Tuesday by the Mercatus Center at George Mason University.
