Illinois counties declare ‘sanctuary’ status for gun owners

SPRINGFIELD/CHICAGO (Heartland Newsfeed) -- Several rural counties in Illinois are taking a stand for gun rights by utilizing a word that conservatives associate with liberal policies as an attempt to skirt the law: sanctuary. Five counties at minimum have recently passed resolutions declaring themselves as sanctuary counties for gun owners. It is a reference to Chicago, which has become a sanctuary city that doesn't cooperate with aspects of immigration enforcement from the Federal government. These resolutions are intended to put the […]

McCALEB OP-ED: Collapse of Harvey’s finances signals what’s to come across Illinois

(Illinois News Network) -- The unfolding fiscal crisis in south suburban Harvey should send shivers down the spines of public employees and retirees across Illinois. It also should give pause to taxpayers, who already pay the highest combined local and state taxes in the country and who continually are being forced to pay more because of unsustainable public pension benefits and a culpable state government that refuses to do anything about them. Last fall, Illinois' First District Appellate Court ordered the city of […]

With union backing, McCann joins race for Illinois governor

 SPRINGFIELD (Illinois News Network) -- Illinois state Sen. Sam McCann (R-Plainview) announced Thursday that he plans run as a third-party candidate for governor – a move that likely would siphon votes from incumbent Gov. Bruce Rauner. The first-term governor is widely viewed as an underdog in the race for the state's highest office against billionaire J.B. Pritzker. McCann's campaign with the Conservative Party stands to draw votes away from Rauner, who has alienated many conservative voters. Rauner narrowly defeated […]

Rauner calls on General Assembly to pass balanced budget without new taxes

CHICAGO (Heartland Newsfeed) – Governor Bruce Rauner framed his legislative agenda Monday for the upcoming session of the Illinois General Assembly around two key imperatives: a truly balanced, full-year FY19 budget. To start the process, Rauner asked House and Senate leaders to meet with him to agree on budget basics like certifying FY19 revenues and spending within the state’s means. “Our administration presented a balanced 12-month budget plan to the legislature in February,” Rauner said. “It calls for an end […]

Legislators debate equal parenting laws in Springfield this week

SPRINGFIELD (Heartland Newsfeed) -- Illinois' divorce laws will likely be up for debate this week where lawmakers are slated to hear about a bill supporters believe will scrap the prejudicial, unfair existing system of parenting time that has proven to be biased against one parent and rarely ever see their children. Several states are either considering or enacting changes to divorce laws that would move away from one-parent guardianship to a fairer, equal parenting model with more flexibility. Kentucky is […]

McCarter says there are more important issues than marijuana to ask voters about

SPRINGFIELD (Heartland Newsfeed) -- A Republican state senator recently stated that there are more important things to ask Illinois voters than the proposed referendum to legalize the recreational use of marijuana. Sen. Kyle McCarter (R-Lebanon) stated in a March 1 debate on the floor of the Illinois Senate that the legalization of marijuana is not a top priority for a statewide referendum in a financially strapped Prairie State. Nine states and the District of Columbia have legalized the recreational use […]

House bill would require referendum before local tax hikes

SPRINGFIELD (Heartland Newsfeed) -- Local lawmakers in the Illinois General Assembly could be prevented from passing tax hikes without voter permission. With passage, the state's voters will have to vote on a referendum as to whether or not tax hikes should be passed. Following years of continued abuse by state and local governments in the form of tax hikes, Illinois have realized their entitlement to vote with their feet, according to a report from the Illinois Policy Institute think tank.   […]
