State Representative

You may have seen it pointed out that Kevin McCallister's parents in the movie Home Alone (set here in Illinois) would have been looking at serious trouble for leaving an 8 year old to knock around that fabulous house all by himself.

The Illinois Department of Employment Security (IDES) says that they're restoring what they call "in-person work services," but they're doing it in a very limited way.

89th District State Representative Andrew Chesney (R-Freeport) is not a fan of the Illinois Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) card at all, and the latest incarnation of the FOID card hasn't changed his mind one bit.

A month or so back, we heaped some serious praise on Freeport's State Representative Andrew Chesney for getting Illinois House Bill 1711(HB-1711), also known as the "Anti Puppy Mill" bill passed out of the Illinois House.

Freeport State Rep. Andrew Chesney (R-89th) has introduced House Bill 3646 (HB3646), which would amend Illinois' Animal Welfare Act.

What do you think the reaction would be if we were all told that in order to post our thoughts on social media, or even speak out loud outside our own homes, we needed to pay the state to do so?

68th District Representative John Cabello has filed House Bill 4067 which would eliminate the law that requires all Illinois residents to apply for a FOID card in order to legally possess or purchase guns or ammunition in the state.

For anyone who's ever thought that the State of Illinois would be better off without the Windy City--Illinois State Representative Brad Halbrook of Shelbyville agrees with you.
