Marijuana legalization stance by Barickman not shared by fellow Republicans

BLOOMINGTON (Heartland Newsfeed) -- Contrary to the position of Gov. Bruce Rauner and many fellow Republicans, state Sen. Jason Barickman (R-Bloomington) recently issued a statement supporting the legalization of marijuana, drawing criticism from members of his own party.

In spite of tax hike, ratings agency eyes change that could junk Illinois

SPRINGFIELD (Illinois News Network) -- Illinois could be on the fast track to a junk credit rating, despite lawmakers assuring that a tax hike in July would keep the state from the infamous designation. “If we don’t get this done we will become the first state in the history of the United States of America to be in junk bond status,” state Rep. Mike Unes, R-East Peoria, said this summer. He and several other Republicans joined Democrats in overriding Gov. […]

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 […]
