Chicago should aspire to like DuPage County

Oct 30, 2024 | jdomenick

During the pandemic people left Chicago in droves and moved out to DuPage County because of the better market and safety, that’s because of men like Joe Soto and Sheriff James Mendrick.  Joe Soto is running for DuPage county board and wants to work on the budget to make sure his county has the right services provided for them, including lowering interest rates on homes for people.  Sheriff James Mendrick takes pride in their correctional facility program, rather than not punishing crime at all they take criminals in and rehabilitate them to give them a second chance at a good life.

Trump could win swing state vote in Pennsylvania

Oct 29, 2024 | jdomenick

National political reporter for the Washington Examiner Salena Zito projects that Donald Trump could win the swing state vote.  Pennsylvania having the most electoral votes and being so down the middle as far as political party preference goes makes it crucial in winning in such a close election like this years.  Salena reminds us that voters don’t like feeling insulted or peer pressured into voting for a certain candidate and that is why the democrats are losing support.

Make Your Vote Count

Oct 12, 2018 | Web Team

 

You hear it said, “Every vote counts.” But your vote doesn’t get counted IF you don’t vote.

November 6th is Election Day in Illinois and across the country. While much is being said about the so-called “mid-terms” and what happens nationally, but it all starts here with hugely important states and local races.

You’ve also heard “If you don’t vote, you don’t get to complain.”

There’s no reason not to vote.

Can’t get to the polling place? No problem, check with your local clerk for a ride service.

Can’t make it on election day? No problem, vote early.

Don’t know who to vote for? There are plenty of places to start looking for information.

Get Out And Vote… and make YOUR vote Count.

Illinois union to announce strike-authorization vote results

Feb 23, 2017 | WLSAM Staff

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Illinois’ largest public-employee union is set to announce the result of a strike-authorization vote.

The state council of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees scheduled a news conference for Thursday morning.

The union has been unable to agree with Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner’s administration on a contract to replace one that expired in June 2015.

Employees at work sites across the state voted from Jan. 30 through Sunday. They were asked whether to give the union’s executive committee power to call a strike if necessary.

It’s the first such vote in 40 years of state-employee collective bargaining.

A state labor regulator declared last fall that talks had reached “impasse.” That allows Rauner to implement the employment terms he prefers and the union to strike if it chooses.
