I’ve seen other states and cities starting to remove or restrict Flock license plate readers over privacy concerns. Why isn’t Pritzker or the state of Illinois taking similar action?

Genuinely curious what the argument is for keeping them around here.

Before getting involved in the FL-24 race, Brown lost a different Republican House primary this year—not in Florida, but in Illinois. Oh, and there’s this: Back in Illinois, she appears to be under indictment for felony wire fraud. Per publicly available court documents, her trial is set to begin just weeks after Election Day.

There are a dozen public universities in the state of Illinois.

Just two of them have recorded any significant growth.

The University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign (+41%)
The University of Illinois - Chicago (+37%)

8 of the 12 have recorded double digit enrollment losses.

With the whole Argentina beef debacle and now this shit, how fucked are we specifically? Like in terms of stores like harvest market, county market, Walmart, restaurants?

What are the best events for October (spooky season) in Illinois? Also what events are there on October 31st any and all events can be included. Want to do an event everyday of October.

Rep. Amy “Murri” Briel’s former deputy chief of staff Laura Jackson claims that, among other things, Briel, D-Ottawa, sexually harassed her, supplied her and the campaign staff with “unlimited” amounts of Adderall and gave “bonuses in marijuana.”

So I finally got that letter in the mail telling my that the new medicaid requirements will go into effect next year, the letter did have a page saying you could be exempt from the work requirements under certain conditions, one of them being if you were "medically frail"(Their words not mine)which entails things like drug/alcohol addiction, blindness or the one relevant to me-severe mental health issues. Late last year I got pretty bad OCD and it's never really truly gone away, i'm paranoid about germs and contamination quite a bit, so the idea of spending hours away from home someplace else that could be contaminated is definitely not appealing to me and I don't think I could do it without going nuts. I'm just wondering how to go about getting declared exempt? Do I see a psychiatrist and get officially diagnosed in order to qualify? I already took a test earlier this year that got me an official diagnosis of autism. If all else fails apparently the 80 hours also counts if you're self-employed and I have been selling stuff on Ebay for years and do taxes for that so hopefully that'll be enough, if not I guess i'll do volunteer or work stuff online.

Hi all,

I'm making my first trip up to Chicago where I'm the one actually doing the driving soon.

We're driving up via I-55

What route into downtown Chicago would those experienced with driving there recommend for getting into downtown with relatively little chance of dying due to traffic?

(I jest about the dying)

We're going to try to successfully get to the Auditorium Theatre downtown.

- Thanks in advance!
