Ill. Senate panel OKs ending workers' compensation

Ill. Senate panel OKs ending workers' compensation


The headline says it all.

Since these guys, and gals can't agree on a workable solution, just over burden an already over burdened civil court system.

Illinois House OKs electric increase, veto possible - Chicago Sun-Times

Illinois House OKs electric increase, veto possible - Chicago Sun-Times



Stunning, isn't it?

They bow to their overlord ComEd, yet at the same time reject an overhaul of the "workers comp system". Talk about messed up priority's.

Yep, simply stunning isn't it?

Governor, attorney general fight ComEd legislation - Chicago Sun-Times

Governor, attorney general fight ComEd legislation - Chicago Sun-Times



In all honesty, ComEd can justify this "Bill" by telling the truth. They just want to put the boots on the necks of consumers so they can continue living high off the hog.

If they scream this would put them out of business, good riddance. Yes folks, let them go out of business, and let the State take it over. Yeah I hear murmurs of "that's socialist philosophy". So what. What have they done for the people of Illinois besides screw them time, after time? This company, and any other utility, just isn't "TOO Big To Fail". Their rampant greed will be their undoing, so let them fail, pack their bags, and find some other chump State that will allow them to continue fleecing consumers.

In essence, it's all a domino effect. Take Vermont for instance. Health care cost spiral out of control because of the greed of insurance companies. Vermont said (Paraphrasing here) "Enough, let's look out for the people, and solve this on our own." An approach such as that will make other companies, no matter the product, think twice about screwing over consumers. People in other States elected GOP governors, and State assemblies in record numbers last year, much to their shock at how they boot-lick companies into giving tax break, after tax break. Only to see these very same companies/utilities jack up prices on consumers after picking their wallets, and purses clean with ZERO accountability. The people in this country are not asleep. They will see what's going on in Vermont, and the battle here in Illinois with such companies, and demand those newly elected GOP governors, and State assemblies follow such examples, or be VOTED out of office.

The people of this country does not ask for anything but a fair shake. When rampant greed denies them that fair shake, they know what to do about it, they vote. ComEd isn't "Too Big To Fail". They can, and should if their only agenda is fleecing consumers.

Hey Governor Quinn, follow Vermont on the Health care blueprint.

Ex-DuPage official got 2 preferential deals from former board colleagues

Ex-DuPage official got 2 preferential deals from former board colleagues


This Must Stop!

Stop doing this to the people YOU swore an oath to protect, and defend. This "No Bid" process is nothing more than a slap in the face of consumers/taxpayers. Its only purpose is to enrich buddies.

Stop this.

CPS says Brizard's salary in line with other large districts

CPS says Brizard's salary in line with other large districts


Damn shame when they make feeble attempts at justifying this.

What about the two vehicles? What about all those school supplies, and furniture you have stockpiled in warehouses in the city and suburbs? As far as I'm concerned, you are much worse at your jobs when it comes to responsibility, and accountability. One would think an occupation in education may have some type of critical thinking involved.

I'm hip to your scam on the school supplies, and furniture. We, the taxpayers have our funds placed into various government budgets. You have X amount of days to spend your part of the funds. So you spend it, and come back and ask for more. Meanwhile, what you spent it on, if not used, or better yet, put to use, in the case of furniture, it gets sent back to the supplier for crushing. And don't get me started on all that coffee, sugar, and other non-essential bulk products you have just sitting in warehouses.

I figure two hundred and fifty grand is more than enough for this guy to buy his own vehicle. Don't you?

Outgoing CPS board OK's Brizard's appointment

Outgoing CPS board OK's Brizard's appointment


Wow! Talk about hypocrisy!

In this day and age of "Budget Deficits" and cuts, one has to think for anyone to even consider giving away two hundred and fifty grand, is pretty idiotic. I'm guessing this guy will also get two vehicle's on the taxpayer dime? All this yammering about personal responsibility must start somewhere. Getting rid of the two vehicle perk is a start.

We the people have allowed these salary hikes to go on without any consultation from us, the taxpayer. It is only when someone does some in-depth reporting, are we only made aware of the rip-offs these people are getting away with. If this guy holds out for more money, I don't want to see, or hear about any elected official speak on cutting one teacher's pay, hours, or expanding a classroom.

Personal responsibility has to start somewhere. Not on the backs of the tax paying citizens for two vehicle perks.

Wisconsin governor signs controversial voter ID law

Wisconsin governor signs controversial voter ID law



What's next?

Jim Crow, check. Poll Tax, check. Back to the cotton fields, keep voting for them, it'll happen. 3/5 citizenship, keep voting for them, it'll happen. Now you get to see what people, a great majority of people have known for decades.

If you want a great, and progressive country, don't ever vote against your interest by electing puppets for the rich. They simply don't care about you.

Never Vote GOP. They will do anything under the sun to strip you of your rights, and dignity.
