Dysfunction reigns supreme. There are simply too many Democrats in the General Assembly.

Is it true that some organization is trying to kill that medical patients can get taxes waived at all dispensaries versus just the current medical ones?

That’s what it looks like there’s a position from police and some municipalities, because they may see a reduction in revenue if more medical patients go to that dispensary paying 1% tax instead of 30% depending on the item.

Despite firefighter opposition to fireworks and other people’s opposition. I hope the ground-based sparkler provision stays in the revenue bill. Because around major holidays Illinois loses a fair amount of money with people crossing state lines to get fireworks. I remember State Senator Dave Syverson advocating last year for the ground-based sparkler provision, stating that maybe this will prevent some people crossing state lines to get the bigger aerial stuff, that it might satiate their appetite for fireworks and mitigate some risk.

Thanks, Friday “I’m in Love” Addams, that’s a good earworm.

Did you just fall off a turnip truck in Pinckneyville or something?

is it just a coincidence that the high pitched whirring of the cicadas started happening in time for the last days of session? with fond memories of the CBS show Braindead
