June 10 - She began her nonprofit, "Truth in Accounting" to give citizens factual information on what government finances really were -- not using the financial gimmicks so many government entities employ to make their books look balanced. In our exclusive interview with Sheila Weinberg, the CEO and Founder of the "Truth in Accounting" organization, we hear why she says the state's numbers still don't add up to a balanced budget, and why accounting practices show we're...

The big stories are often untold, which is why we look across the state and look at events and trends. In our weekly review, we look at Gov Pritzker telling Chicago he's not interested in the state taking on their pension mess. With July 1 marking the start of the new fiscal year, the state has the largest annual budget in history and the largest Capital Spending bill in history. As the dollars begin to flow, will this be the start of a turnaround? The good news is, this week one Illinois firm...

March 3, 2019 - Chicago voters have narrowed the field to just two remaining candidates for mayor -- both women, both black. And whoever wins on election day, April 2, whether it's Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, or Attorney Lori Lightfoot, it'll make history as Chicago will be governed for the first time by a black woman. It will be only the second time in Chicago's history a woman will serve as mayor. The first and last woman to serve as Chicago mayor was Jane Byrne, who left...

This is not sustainable, and the last chance we had to make it sustainable was 2011. Think about the old Wiley E. Coyote cartoons -- you know when you're running off the edge of the cliff. As long as you keep your feet moving you can run past the clouds, unfortunately there's a look down moment, and that look down moment is 2028 -- and I'm not guessing at that. The wheels fall off the bus in 2028. We have an actuarial cliff that we can no longer solve." If we lose the economic production...

From the City Club of Chicago, Sen Heather Steans (D) joins Laurence Msall of the Civic Federation and Adam Schuster of the Illinois Policy Institute, as they cover the depth of the Illinois money pit known as publicly funded pensions. What is clear from this discussion is that the state has failed to defuse the pension bomb, with every year the payments needed from state revenues to pay for pensions are draining the state's ability to pay for education, police and emergency services, and the...

Springfield - In March of 2018, Rep Ives came very close to taking the Republican nomination for governor away from Bruce Rauner. She argued in part, that Rauner didn't represent the spirit of the Republican Party. Now, as she is nearing the end of her time in public office, with her term up in early January, we get her thoughts on the future of the Illinois Republican Party, what she would now be doing if she were Governor-Elect to get the state's finances fixed, and what the future may hold...

June 5, 2019 - The press room in the JR Thompson Center in Chicago isn't meant to be a meeting hall, but as many as 40 or more crowded the room, as Gov JB Pritzker (D) signed his first budget into law, as well as the Revenue Bill, and the proposed Constitutional Amendment to change the state's income tax from a flat tax to a graduated tax. That must first be approved by voters on the November 2020 ballot before Illinois Consititution is changed. But for Democrats, who were four years locked in...
