Halbrook calls out Pritzker pay hikes for government employees

SPRINGFIELD (Heartland Newsfeed) -- Illinois governor J.B. Pritzker's varied actions from the $15 minimum wage to hiking salaries for senior members of his staff with a 15 percent raise to doubling the salaries of his top 20 staffers among his first acts as the state's top official amounts nothing more than a slap in the face of the state's taxpayers. It has provoked much ire among taxpayers, Libertarians and Republicans, and among them is State Rep. Brad Halbrook. “It just […]

Miller: $15 minimum wage would be a mistake

SPRINGFIELD (Heartland Newsfeed) -- Freshman state Rep. Chris Miller is curious as to how many of his colleagues in the Illinois House of Representatives have a basic grasp on business, moreorless the basic tenets of economics. “I sometimes wonder if they know the whole concept of being in business is to make a profit for yourself,” Miller said. “On top of that, independent business owners take on the burden of going into business for themselves because they don’t want someone […]

Lawmakers again elect Madigan as House Speaker

SPRINGFIELD (Illinois News Network) -- For the 18th time in the past 36 years, members of the Illinois House selected state Rep.

Madigan is longest-serving state legislative leader in the United States. He's had the gavel in the House for all but two years since 1983. Madigan also has been chairman of the state Democratic Party […]

Illinois congressional delegation to shrink after 2020 Census

SPRINGFIELD (Illinois News Network) -- Continued population loss means Illinois will have to say goodbye to one at least one of its 18 congressional representatives after the 2020 Census. Election Data Services recently released its annual projections of which states will gain and lose U.S. Representatives at the next turn of the decade. The projections show Illinois’ 18th Representative will almost certainly be removed and given to another state, said Kimball Brace. Other states projected to lose seats include Alabama, California, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, […]

Continued out-migration from Illinois could mean dire consequences

DECATUR (Heartland Newsfeed) -- When it comes to Illinois' shrinking population, the numbers reported don't tell the full story. This is what representative-elect Dan Caulkins (R-Decatur), who was elected to succeed Bill Mitchell (R-Decatur) last month, believes when it comes to one of the largest shrinking populations in the nation. "It's not just that we're losing people," Caulkins stated in a news release. Caulkins stated that the shrinking population involves many of the state's workforce in the private sector, which […]

COMMENTARY: Voter choice and candidate suppression needs to become a criminal offense

(Heartland Newsfeed) -- Illinois is unfortunately known for political corruption and the suppression of voter and candidate choice. It's been a common and deceptive practice that has been going on for decades. 2018, unfortunately, is no different. As of several hours ago, a warning was given by the Libertarian Party of Illinois that the Illinois Republican Party is up their usual tricks again trying to throw the party slate off the general election ticket. PUTTING THE WORD OUT: Republicans are […]

GUEST EDITORIAL: Illinois unfairly suppresses third-party candidates

The following was previously published yesterday by the Belleville News-Democrat editorial board. Maybe voter suppression isn't our problem. Maybe it's candidate suppression. Do you know who Sam McCann is? How about Grayson "Kash" Jackson? They are two choices for Illinois governor. That may confuse most folks because most folks think the two choices were made March 20. That was the Illinois primary, when billionaire J.B. Pritzker got 45 percent of the vote against five other Democrats and billionaire Bruce Rauner eked out a […]
