New sexual harassment policy at state Capitol ‘puts fox in charge of henhouse’

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. A week after laws were fast-tracked by House Speaker Michael Madigan to ensure they would address the problem of harassment in the state Capitol, Denise Rotheimer, who in October alleged months of inappropriate behavior by state Sen. Ira […]

Lawmakers are done for 2017. Will they get anything done in 2018?

SPRINGFIELD (Illinois News Network) -- State lawmakers wrapped up veto session last week and aren’t expected back in Springfield until late January, when some want the focus on economic and spending reforms. The second year of the 100th Illinois General Assembly isn’t back in session until around the time Gov. Bruce Rauner is scheduled to give the State of the State Address Jan. 31. The state of the state needs some help, especially with becoming more business friendly. State Sen. Jason […]

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 […]

Illinois Policy: Illinois lawmakers stampede for the exit

SPRINGFIELD (Illinois Policy Institute) -- The most likely driver is pretty obvious to most Illinoisans: the rage of constituents. Thirty state lawmakers in the 100th General Assembly will not be holding their seats in the 101st General Assembly. And that’s not even counting those who might be ousted at the ballot box next year. The exodus is unlike anything Springfield insiders have ever seen. National polling data has long shown Illinoisans at the bottom of the barrel when it comes […]

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 […]

Allen Skillicorn, David McSweeney call on legislature to repeal Trust Act

SPRINGFIELD (Heartland Newsfeed) -- Illinois State Representatives Allen Skillicorn (R-East Dundee) and David McSweeney (R-Park Ridge) have asked the General Assembly to convene a special session to immediately repeal the Trust Act, which some say has moved Illinois to sanctuary state status, according to a release from Skillicorn. The law, recently enacted by Gov. Bruce Rauner, prevents state and local police from arresting or holding individuals because of their immigration status and bars them from acquiescing to U.S. Immigration and Customs […]

Manar/Bourne: Bipartisanship in General Assembly led to historic landmark school funding reform

Educating children should be a bipartisan issue. Two weeks ago in the General Assembly, it finally was. After years of working on this issue and months of intense negotiations, the General Assembly passed a landmark school funding reform law that fundamentally will transform the way Illinois funds its schools. This once-in-a-generation school funding legislation is the single most important bipartisan reform Illinois has seen in decades. As downstate legislators of different political parties, we were proud to work together on […]
