Illinois govbernment's broken culture
2011-12-20 23:36:00 The core problem facing Illinois state government is the corrosive public service culture in Springfield. Elected officials are a big part of the problem but at least we put a few of them in prison from time to time.

5 biggest reasons Illinois should terminate Ron Zook at season's end
2011-11-20 17:08:00 The main story surrounding the Illinois Fighting Illini losing 28-17 to the Wisconsin Badgers today is the fact that Illini Head Coach Ron Zook is a “dead man walking.” New Illinois Athletic Director Mike Thomas said he won’t make a decision until after the season is over, so I wouldn’t expect to hear anything concrete...

Legislation update: Tell your reps to say NO to Illinois Sex Ed bill
2011-11-03 19:51:00 -By Warner Todd Huston This week our elected state officials in Springfield may be voting on a comprehensive sex education bill (HB 3027 Amendments 1 and 2) that critics are saying is wholly unnecessary.

AMERICAN "JUGGALO"
2011-09-30 07:26:00 American Juggalo is quite possibly one of the most insanely candid (albeit beautifully shot) documentaries we've come across in a very long time. Filmmaker, Sean Dunne, and his crew take us into the unseen and often-misunderstood world of Juggalo culture via a series of interviews at a four-day festival in Illinois. The results are both astonishing and enlightening, as we pretty much guarantee that you've never seen the culture captured this raw. Disable your not-suitable-for-work filter and let this one rip...

Beep.... Illinois minimum wage flatlines
2011-06-30 17:07:00 For the first time in five years, the state minimum wage won’t go up today. From 2006 until 2009, the lowest wage that employers can pay their employees went from $6.50 to $8.25. And low-wage workers won’t see their paychecks increase unless the Senate moves on a bill, SB 1565, that’s currently stalled in committee....
Blago jurors show Illinois voters how it should be done
2011-06-28 03:35:00 If Chicago and Illinois voters were as thoughtful, thorough and responsible as the jurors that convicted Rod Blagojevich of corruption then we wouldn't have to be constantly putting our governors, aldermen and other public officials on trial. If you saw the extraordinary post-trial interview with the jury, you can only respect them for the attitude with which they approached their difficult job. As I've said, I don't second-guess juries, but the Blagojevich jurors' reasoned responses to reporters' questions revealed something that gives me hope: There is in Illinois a citizenry that understands the difference between politics and criminal behavior. Corruption, they said (reflecting U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald's own observations about the Blago trial) is not/cannot be politics as...
Half of Illinois Governors have gone to jail since the 1970's
2011-06-27 21:36:00 In light of the recent jury verdict on the Blago trial, I got to thinking about the corrupt politicians. Since the 1970's, Illinois has had 8 governors. Four of these governors have gone to prison on charges related to corruption. 1. Otto KernerTerm: 1961-1968; followed by a term as a Judge on the US Court of Appeals-7th Circuit, nominated by President Lyndon B. Johnson.Party: DemocratThe crime: Taking bribes from the manager, Marge Lindheimer Everett of Arlington Race Track. Arlington wanted two expressway exits. Kerner received stock in exchange for the exits. How did Kerner get caught? Everett deducted the bribe on his tax returns thinking that bribes were part and parsal of doing business in Illinois. The conviction: Bribery, tax evasion, conspiracy, perjury,...

Illinois So Broke They Want to Sell Ads on License Plates
2011-06-17 16:00:00 -By Warner Todd Huston You know things are bad when governments start selling things they "own." The latest is the state of Illinois so over spent and in a budgetary hole that authorities are floating the idea of selling advertising space on its auto license plates. The Democrat led general assembly has given the Secretary of State's office a directive to begin researching the pros and cons of "corporate plates," or sponsors for license plates (SB1360). The hope is that more money will be brought into the treasury and, perhaps, the state won't have to raise taxes... as much....

Allen, Chairman and Lead Organizer, Illinois Voter Restoration Project www.bldi.webs.com 773-392--0165 Dear BGA Watchdogs,The Illinois General Assembly recently passed HB1716, a new law that undercuts the state's Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

Same-Sex Couples First Illinois Civil Unions

It would be the first civil unions acknowledged by the State of Illinois since the passing of the Civil Union Bill signed by Governor Quinn. The couples, both men and women, were surrounded by family and friends to witness this long waited event. They were asked to wear violet or purple to the ceremony as a sign of unity. Both Governor Quinn and Mayor Emanuel spoke at the event, with Emanuel praising Quinn for passing the Bill. The Chicago Gay Men's chorus preformed to a packed crowd. Openly gay State Representatives Deborah Mell, Kelly...
Illinois GOP Betray Own Platform
2011-06-01 14:00:00 -By Warner Todd Huston With the latest three votes, the Illinois GOP has shown itself to be little else but Democrat lite and has shown that even planks in its own platform are meaningless when it comes to voting time. The last Illinois Republican Party platform was produced and approved in 2008 (See .pdf here) and there hasn't been another one since. Lets start our scolding with the recent vote to wildly expand gambling in Illinois, a bill that 21 Republicans voted for, shall we?...

Illinois lawmakers to banks: 'Secure your vacant properties'
2011-05-31 19:29:00 It's been more than three years since Chicago's City Council adopted a vacant buildings ordinance that set standards intended to prevent neighborhoods hit with thousands of foreclosures from turning into junkyards. But like municipalities across Illinois, the city has struggled to hold the owners accountable. And as a Chicago Reporter investigation recently found, it's some of the nation's biggest, most reputable banks who are the owners of record. Now local officials are looking to state lawmakers to help strengthen the rules for enforcement....
Illinois Legislature Passes DREAM Act Giving Illegals Free College Educatio
2011-05-31 18:00:00 -By Warner Todd Huston In a 61-53 vote in the Illinois House, an Illinois version of the DREAM Act (SB2185) has been passed and will be signed into law by accidental Governor Pat Quinn. The Illinois DREAM Act will provide free money for the children of illegal immigrants to go to state colleges and universities. Supporters say that this bill does not use state money, but this is obviously hogwash. While much of the money that will go to illegals for free schooling will come from private sources, the panel that will do this duty is obviously going to be funded by the state. Once again, the State of Illinois -- drowning in debt and losing businesses hand over fist...

Illinois Injured Worker's Rights in Jeopardy
2011-05-28 01:17:00 The Illinois legislators are working on a Worker's Compensation Bill that may severely limit worker's rights to collect worker's compensation benefits. They have until Tuesday, May 31st to pass a Bill. A number of potential Bills have been discussed, from eliminating the "Commission" where the comp cases are tried and sending them to the Circuit Court, which may actually increase the monies collected by injured parties, to severely limiting the ability for worker's to collect monies due to AMA standards and the inability to select an independent doctor to evaluate the injury. As part of a package to cut the Illinois state deficit, Worker's Compensation has become the target to presumably lower costs for businesses that some say are costing...

Illinois 2nd District Voters Keep Congressman Jesse Jackson, Jr Strong !
2011-05-26 06:33:00 DESPITE PUNDITS AND NEGATIVE MEDIA ANALYSIS, 2ND DISTRICT VOTERS KEEP CONGRESSMAN JESSE JACKSON JR STRONG !! During the last 2010 elections, candidates who opposed Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr all proclaimed that the voters of the district were finally fed up with Jackson's representation, and that accompanied so many local and national media pundits who also proclaimed that "Jackson was in political trouble," and voters could not escape all the negative media attributed to Jackson's name in the Obama Senate seat scandal and the front page stories about his marital problems all aimed at setting the stage for voters to unseat Jackson. But then election day finally came and the voters of the 2nd District gave Jackson his largest voting victory...
Will Illinois Be America's Greece?
2011-05-25 21:41:00 The chief fiscal officer of tax-and-spend Illinois is preparing to warn lenders that allowing it to borrow any more money would be a major risk. Will his be the first state to go bankrupt? Treasurer Dan Rutherford is a Republican in a very blue state, and the usual critics will say his warning is political grandstanding. We think the guy who counts Illinois' money has simply embraced fiscal reality and sanity in shouting from the financial rooftops: "Don't help us anymore; we can't afford it." Rutherford on Monday said the state was in a deep hole and needed to stop digging and that he was willing to contact all the major bond houses and warn them that lending Illinois more...
Illinois Democrats Pull Fast One On Redistricting
2011-05-25 04:58:00 As the old saying goes, to the victor go the spoils. However, when it comes to Illinois Democrats, it is always about taking it a step further when it comes to protecting their political domain. And like a bunch of giddy whores in a brothel, they are pulling another fast one when it comes to redistricting.
Gov. Quinn to Sign Illinois Firearm Owner's Privacy Bill
2011-05-21 16:00:00 -By Warner Todd Huston Well, accidental Governor Pat Quinn is finally doing something right. He has pledged to sign HB3500, a bill that will keep confidential and away from the eyes of anti-gun activists and the Old Media alike the personal information of registered firearm owners in Illinois.

Illinois House Republican Newbies Disappoint
2011-05-19 18:00:00 -By Doug Ibendahl "Tom Cross has a brick on SB35." That's a quote from State Senator Kirk Dillard from a few days ago. He simply stated what nearly all of you I'm sure already know. It's hardly some secret that Tom Cross - the House Minority Leader - is viciously opposed to the idea of regular Republicans having a voice again in their own party. Now for the third time in six years, the direct election reform (now designated as Senate Bill 35) - has passed out of the Senate and over to the House. The most recent Senate passage was last month and this time the vote was unanimous. Even several Republican Senators who had been pressured by the...

Illinois A.D. Ron Guenther, Mayor Daley Abdicating Power Today
2011-05-16 23:56:00 Today, two leaders in the Land of Lincoln's prominent leadership positions stepped down today. We saw both abdications coming for a long while, and it's just coincidence that both media stories happen to fall on the same day. Although, both of these men became the longest serving in the history of their respective roles and came to power around the same time. Today, Rahm Emanuel was sworn in as the 46th mayor of Chicago, he is the hand-picked successor to Richard M. Daley, and assumes his role in an old-fashioned political "switcheroo" as Daley's brother, William now has Rahm's old position- White House Chief of Staff. The post has been deemed "The Second-Most Powerful Person in Washington" due to...
Blame (Republican) SB35 Opponents for Illinois DREAM Act Passage
2011-05-15 17:00:00 -By Doug Ibendahl "The decay of the Soviet experiment should come as no surprise to us. Wherever the comparisons have been made between free and closed societies -- West Germany and East Germany, Austria and Czechoslovakia, Malaysia and Vietnam -- it is the democratic countries that are prosperous and responsive to the needs of their people." - Ronald Reagan A lot of Republicans are outraged that 11 Republican State Senators helped the Democrats pass the Illinois DREAM Act last week (the bill is now in the House). The outrage is certainly justified. But it wasn't just the DREAM Act. The GOP Platform took a beating on several fronts last week....
