What happened to the Cubs yesterday?

Very curious to see how tomorrow’s municipal elections in Bloomington and Normal turn out.

McLean County is anti-Trump but may elect Republican Dan Brady as Bloomington mayor anyway.

And Normal council member Kathleen Lorenz has had way more direct mail, signage, and advertising than incumbent Chris Koos and another challenger, but is now in some hot water.

When asked about taking $28,000 from the McLean County GOP, Lorenz has engaged in some creative dissembling in order to run away from the GOP association and has said she the money was really just a pass-through scheme to get around individual donation limits - not really a GOP endorsement of her.

Never got my plate renewal form…….. No problem Ill just go on the SOS (or as Alexi calls it, the DMV) website and renew there. They ask for a PIN number. 45 minutes later on hold since I have no idea what my PIN number is, I give up.

Welcome to the hell of getting plates renewed in Illinois.
