exhausted. trying to read the tea leaves….ok, cowpies….from the Federal changes that affect the State government and, well, all of us, is both angering as well as exhausting. pace yourself.
Transportation secretary Duffy acting (illegally) to cut off EV charger speeding is yet another example of Senator Durbin failing Illinois. Duffy is a climate-change denier. Yet instead of opposing him on that ground - or instead of opposing all Trump nominees until the retribution, purging of employees, and illegal impoundments stop, Senator Durbin voted for Duffy’s confirmation.
Senator Durbin just doesn’t get it. After all his service for Illinois, his time is past. He should step aside.
While I agree that the Democrats should be opposing the majority of Trump nominees you surely realize that the decisions in these agencies are being driven by the White House. The leaders of these agencies are going to be good boys and girls and do whatever they are told to do. They are figure heads only.

It seems like the aperture for new tax policies is under way with new methodology hoping to right the ship.
