Thank you for putting safety first by supporting rules for car rental platforms
Friday, Nov 16, 2018 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] Members of the Senate did the right thing by voting to override Gov. Bruce Rauner’s veto of SB2641. Under this bill, car rental platforms would no longer be allowed to skirt safety regulations designed to keep unsafe vehicles off the road. Legislators on both sides of the aisle should be applauded for being proactive in preventing tragedy. They also deserve praise for recognizing the unfair nature of letting car rental platforms operate tax free, even though the vehicles they profit from contribute to both airport and neighborhood parking congestion as well as roadway wear and tear. This bill will help ensure public roads, bridges and airports are maintained safely, while guaranteeing fair competition and protections for all consumers.

Well, here’s one way of getting an Oscar pic on the blog
Wednesday, Nov 14, 2018 - Posted by Rich Miller * I’ve told you about my friend Rob Werden several times…
Rob lives near Prairietown, the home of the “World’s Fair.” As we’ve already discussed, Rob ran for Madison County Regional Superintendent this year to replace retiring incumbent Bob Daiber. You’ll recall that Daiber ran for governor as a Democrat. I didn’t bother to check on his race for some weird reason, but Rob defeated his Democratic opponent 52-48. Must’ve been those nifty yard signs. * Or maybe it was because Oscar fully endorsed his ol’ buddy. Here’s a silly pic of the two of them… ![]() …Adding… Caption?
