Missouri Republicans recently attempted to maximize their party’s seats in the U.S. House of Representatives, but last month the U.S. Supreme Court shut their plan down.

What matters in comparison is that Illinois’ skewed map is significantly more tilted in favor of Democrats than Missouri’s failed map was for Republicans!

This Illinois Policy article explains the most commonly used measures of partisan gerrymandering and specifically illustrates how Illinois uses them.

The state’s public pension funds are already at high risk of insolvency, yet Illinois continues to pay them out. Of nearly 300,000 retirees receiving public pensions of $100,000 or more across 18 states, Illinois paid nearly 48,962 of them.

Pensions are certainly an effective tool for recruiting public-sector employees, but Illinois is only $202 billion away from saving up enough money to fulfill the obligations it has already promised to current and future retirees according to Equable (a data-driven company dedicated to building retirement systems that work).

Gov. Pritzker and his cronies want Illinoisans to become so desperate for income that they see gambling as a way out of living under the oppressive and failing economic policies of the Democrat Party.

They don’t care about the well-being of ordinary citizens- they just want money and control for themselves.

Illinois bettors lost more money than ever last year, while state coffers collected a record $2.7 BILLION.

This is just a tactic to throw skeptics off the scent of hunting down corruption and bad behavior in Springfield.

In September, former Illinois Legislative Inspector General (LIG) Michael McCuskey resigned following criticisms of his investigative practices. Now, the Supermajority Democrat General Assembly has named a new ‘watchdog’, acting LIG David Risley,

It’s campaign season, and the misinformation from the Democrats is embedded in every campaign mail piece and commercial.

Their messaging is intentionally deceitful, and voters should read and listen carefully and then do their own analysis of what is said. They are hoping for a quick impression from their ads and that little thought is given to the actual message.

Don’t be fooled and don’t let your circle of friends and family be fooled either.

Billionaire-bashing is not working out well for blue states.

Among other successful companies, Illinois drove Citadel (which was based in our state for 33 years) to Florida. The company’s hedge fund manager and CEO Ken Griffin moved his burgeoning tech sector company to the Sunshine State saying that he had had enough of Illinois’ punishing taxes, regulation and crime.

Citadel is also donating $3 BILLION to Carnegie Mellon University which intends to build a new school in Miami,

Tuesday, we zeroed in on the plethora of local referendums that will be put to the voters across the state of Illinois in this midterm election. The bottom line is that these ‘referendums’ usually don’t get much attention, so they sneak through with very little possibility of being retracted or overturned in the future.

This is an intentional strategy orchestrated by greedy players who feed off the taxpayers’ dime.

Now,

The Governor and Senate races may be stealing the headlines in Illinois, but the silent enemy hides in the sneaky LOCAL taxes that are being proposed across the state.

It’s called a ‘slow boil’, and Democrats have perfected the strategy.

In this 2-part expose, Ted Dabrowski (former Republican candidate for Governor) goes into detail about the MANY local money-asks across Illinois that are on the November 4^th ballot and why you should care.

Democrats across the country are systematically destroying American public schools, and they DON’T CARE. It’s all about money, politics, and power for them. But people are catching on. According to a recent Gallup poll, K-12 education has now reached a record low in the number of people who are even “somewhat satisfied” with the state of education in the U.S.

Despite dismal test scores, teachers’ unions and school administrators continue to ram students through THEIR system by lowering proficiency requirements,
