Republicans say the matter should go to a bipartisan commission

SPRINGFIELD (Capitol News Illinois) – Lawmakers will head back to the Capitol on Tuesday, Aug. 31, to consider changes to the legislative maps that Gov. JB Pritzker signed into law earlier this year. Those maps – which set the new boundaries for the 118 state House and 59 state Senate districts for the next decade – were passed based on survey data in May, as the full U.S. Census block-level numbers were not made available until Aug. 12. The release […]

WASHINGTON (UPI) -- Two articles of impeachment were introduced in the Senate Thursday, formally marking the start of a historic proceeding that could potentially remove President Donald Trump from office.

NEW YORK (UPI) -- A Federal judge ordered Tuesday that the Trump administration remove a question about U.S. citizenship on the 2020 census. U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman said Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross exceeded his authority under Federal law by adding the question to next year's census.

Commentary: Supreme Court decision a slap to the face of small businesses

(Heartland Newsfeed) -- A U.S. Supreme Court decision made today marks yet another slap to the face of the free market and another example of the government intervening on behalf of Big Business.

Misinformed politicians like Andy Manar (D-Bunker Hill) claims this is a victory for downstate communities who have "claimed" economic decimation due to online shopping. It is […]

Illinois Policy: Janus v. AFSCME could mean more freedom for Illinois’ government workers

CHICAGO/WASHINGTON (Illinois Policy Institute) -- For four decades, government workers have been denied their First Amendment right to freedom of association, but that could change with a U.S. Supreme Court decision in 2018. The First Amendment is among the most cherished parts of the U.S. Constitution. Among its provisions, the First Amendment guarantees everyone the right to choose with which organizations to associate. That includes the right to determine what organizations a person funds. Yet for 40 years, that right […]
