After finally getting the chance to meet with Governor Pritzker, Tom Demmer (to the embarrassment of his HGOP colleagues) couldn’t get out fast enough.

Was the driver Republican? And with a little luck if he does get a ticket he will not lose license if he does not pay fine

The state’s revenue projections have as many gaps as this wall.

This never would have happened during the Rauner Administration…of course nobody was ever around here during the Rauner Administration either.

Send a note to Ask This Old House to get Tom Silva and Mark McCullough out there. That would be a complete show.

Something tells me that if anyone of us that isn’t old did this we would get a citation…old people privilege seems legit
Comment by The Dude Tuesday, May 28, 19 @ 6:08 pm
There is no law requiring traffic citations be issued for all accidents; officers usually have discretion as to issue or not. There is also the legal requirement of probable cause too issue a citation, which may not have been met in this case.
