	PUREPOLITICS.COM -Illinois State Senate "Have Fun"
		While the State of the State Address provides an opportunity for the Governor to share his perspective, his remarks deserve to be challenged because it is clear that Illinois can and simply must do better over the next year in many areas including fiscal accountability, educational excellence and economic opportunity.
		His state of the state address included a new centerpiece of taxpayer-funded preschool for children whose parents are in our country illegally.
		The success of Illinois higher education should be showcased because it is set up to provide competition between private and public institutions leading to the system’s model educational excellence.

		As Illinois moved toward a wider role in the country’s affairs, Lincoln and another Illinois lawyer, Stephen A. Douglas, won national attention with their debates on the slavery issue in the senatorial race of 1858.
		Laborers in factories, railroads, and mines also became restive, and from 1870 to 1900 Illinois was the scene of such violent labor incidents as the Haymarket Square riot of 1886 and the Pullman strike of 1894.
		The northern portion of the state saw a major decline in manufacturing in the 1970s and 80s, which was partially offset by an increase in the service and trade industry and Chicago’s continued strength as a financial center.

		Simultaneously, some of the state’s strongest borrower protection laws, such as the ban on prepayment penalties and caps on fees, are under attack by the banking industry.

		This year, Illinois voters have the opportunity to hear Keyes, perhaps the greatest orator of our time and a man with a fund of knowledge about issues to match his eloquence.
		His biggest obstacle is neither that he recently moved to Illinois from his home in Massachusetts, nor that he is fl, but that the media have already anointed Obama as the winner after viciously destroying his other opponents.
		Obama is one of the most left-wing Senate candidates Illinois has ever seen, a me-too vote for Kennedy and Clinton to raise taxes and toady to teachers unions.

	John Lott's Website: Illinois State Senate overrides Governor's veto on Gun Bill
		SB 2161 was prompted by an incident in the Chicago suburb of Wilmette, where a man was charged with violating a municipal handgun ban after he shot a burglar in his home.
		The bill would allow a court to clear a defendant of charges of violating such a ban if the gun was used in self-defense or in defense of another on the owner's property.
		State Sen. Jeff Schoenberg, D-Evanston, represents the community of Wilmette and said the bill imposed upon the municipality's prerogative to impose stronger gun laws than those of the state.

	PUREPOLITICS.COM -Chris Lauzen "Have Fun"
		Senator Ricky “Hollywood” Hendon did Governor Blagojevich a favor today by passing an extension of a $4M tax credit which requires state taxpayers to “foot the bill” for the first 25¢ of every payroll dollar for film-making in Illinois.
		You might ask, “Why would Democrats who aren’t traditionally pro-tax credit, support one, and for only one year?” This concern was raised during debate by no fewer than three state senators that the appearance of potentially unethical campaign contribution solicitation is just too great.
		The easy solution to drain some of this potential impropriety would have been for the amendment to make the tax credit’s term five years so that at least potential contributors would not be on such a “short (one-year quid pro quo) leash”.

		According to a report published in the Carbondale Southern Illinoisan, Nov. 5, as well as other Lee Newspapers, Illinois parole agents have been asked to distribute letters promoting the Governor’s record on fighting crime — a move that has been criticized for essentially asking parole agents to campaign for the Governor on state time.
		The Illinois Auditor General issued a followup report Oct. 26 that shows the Blagojevich administration has failed to correct problems uncovered in an earlier audit of the state's government management agency.
