Opinion

  • A freeze seems fair

    Metro-east leaders hate it that sales tax revenue to repair the Mississippi River levees is coming in much slower than expected. Instead of the 1(*218*)4-cent tax generating about $12 million during its first year, they estimate it'll be closer to $10 million.

  • No more delays on parental notification

    In 1995 when Illinois passed a law requiring that parents be notified before a minor gets an abortion, Jim Edgar was governor. Fourteen years and three chief executives later, parents are still waiting for this law to go into effect.
