The Basics - State government news

* The reason I can’t do regular blogging today is it takes a few minutes to open up each of these links, meaning it would be late afternoon before I could read everything, digest it and put it into normal blogging format. Thank goodness I have interns who could gather all these for me or there’d be nothing for you to comment on…

[The links have disappeared twice now. Hope this update works.]

  1. Think we might get it together long enough to keep the Rock Center open?

  2. Just read the story on the Rock Center….

    Man is this state screwed up. Is the center shutting down going to be the wake-up call folks need? I doubt it.

  4. Yes, it initially had a bunch of links. When I clicked to update just now, the links and part of the leading text were gone.

  5. Pat Quinn is now requiring a state fee on people before they can “braid other people’s hair”? What next? Quinn and his merry band of Democrat amigos have obviously led the state over a fiscal cliff or he wouldn’t continue to stoop to extorting some poor ladies who are simply trying to make a few bucks by braiding hair.What will Pat Quinn and the Democrats down in Springfield do next to plug their sinking fiscal ship the HMS Illinois? Rumor has it Pat Quinn and Mike Madigan are going to require nursing mothers to pay the state a “nursing fee” and then they must attend a 100 hour class on how to breast feed their child?
    “Saturday Night Live”, the state of Illinois is ready for you to ridicule us once again.

  6. Hair Brading? Are you freakin kidding me? These morons bailed out with their paychecks and didn’t even attempt to balance a budget, but had time to evaluate the long controversial practice of brading hair.

    My kids school will be reduced or eliminated because Madigan and Quinn are two of the most blatently incompent people in the world. Come to my house Pat, my 6 year old will braid your freakin hair for free moron.

    Perhaps now that we have this issue behind us, Lisa Madigan can get her hair braided and take a look at some less important issues, like the willful violation of constitution by her daddy!

  7. The more I know, the more convinced I am that wealthy people and corporations (Boeing, etc) are using IL as a tax shelter. Other states have 9-12% tax rates on higher bracket people.
    How much more do our most vulnerable people, children, disabled folks, seniors, education, need to suffer before things change to a progressive tax?
    And a Green candidates winning? The time will come.
    We are tired of sock puppet politicians who are running the state into chaos at the hands of their sociopathic wealthy puppetmasters.
