It’s a flipped Minnesota M. It looks classic. Major improvement.

Not paying income taxes on pensions and Social Security is a huge plus to remaining in Illinois for many retirees. Illinois also freezes property taxes for families earning less than 65K. It's a very good state for low and middle income retirees. Higher income retirees need to find the break even po...

I wish the gov would do something about the high property taxes in Illinois. Complicates my home finding process. Do I put up with the high property taxes along with the benefit of zero state income tax on my retirement or do I settle for the Davenport/Bettendorf area? Yes, I am embarking on MY new...

I’m a huge Norine supporter but I disagree with her on this one just cause someone has long ties to something doesn’t mean that it has there best interest at heart.

Would have been intriguing had the student trustee showed up unannounced and surprised everyone.

Aguilar is turning out to be a disastrous appointment by the Governor.

I guess what makes me the most nervous about this is that the only way they didn't get to name Rives the interim president is because of the two removed and the other 3 who did not show up out of solidarity. Are we now going to be stuck with a skewed BOT who wants this guy even though most people t...

Well no one said this was going to be easy or clean and neat. I just wish Springfield would bug out! ;) jc I don't know what the reasoning for the removal was...could be legitimate...idk. Apparently there's a faction of the board that wants Joe Rives as the interim president (an idea that absolutel...
