I gave up on the Bears years ago. They’re so inept and such a sorry team to watch. We probably could put one of our top high school teams out there and get a better effort.
Lisa Madigan says she’s not running for a fifth term as attorney general. As A.G., she was sworn to be fair. Now, however, there’s speculation that she’ll run for Chicago mayor. If this isn’t a double whammy and going from the frying pan to the fire, I can’t fathom anything worse. If she’s successful, can you picture two Madigans with the same agenda running our state into bankruptcy?

Lisa Madigan has decided to exit her position as Illinois attorney general. It’s good to know that someone who got the job right out of law school is opening the position for possibly someone less “connected.” Hopefully, the era of “legal immunity” will end for daddy dearest. Time will tell, but sadly this state has a way to perpetuate political malfeasance and incompetence like no other state in the union.

They tried. The voters of Tinley Park genuinely believed a new mayor and board would be a change for the better. Instead, they’ve been miserably disappointed. Encompassed in TIF districts and swallowed with blight, the east side of the village continues to be ignored, as it has for decades, of its pile of neighborhood and downtown problems, which the mayor, board and staff have the power to change. Whether it be apathy or politics, the result is that nothing has changed nor does it appear anything will, not for the better and certainly not in the foreseeable future.
