* Pre-beard…

Now my hand’s on the wheel, I’ve something that’s real
And I feel like I’m goin’ home

* Three years later…

Never know when I’ll be back in town

Still tired? I sure am.

I can’t wait until proper Illinois transit funding gets frequent, reliable bus service on the road again.

I too could not help notice that after kicking Crespo out of The Caucus, House Democrats adopted his fund sweeps.

Hypocrisy is one of the worst traits in politics.

“… House Democrats adopted his fund sweeps.”

Left a bitter taste in my mouth. IF Special Funds have surpluses, OAG annually issues audit reports showing beginning & ending FY pension liability … by Agency and by Fund. Use that data to figure out transfers that eliminate special fund and / or agency “pension shortfall” … .

Hopefully Capt. Fax & Associate Isabel can use Willy as a lullaby to get some well deserved rest. All of IL owes them thanks for their timely reporting and updates.

Wait, wait, don’t tell me:

The new $40 million sports complex for Proviso will be named for Speaker Welch?

Looks like SCOTUS is giving new life to Bost’s challenge of the 14-day post-election grace period.

===SCOTUS is giving new life===

Maybe. The ruling will be based on standing. Not sure yet if that means it will go back to a lower court.
