How is the super majority going to get a grip on the lawlessness.

“How is the super majority going to get a grip on the lawlessness.”

I know what you mean. All these people downstate not wearing their masks and whatnot.

“Upstate/Downstate Divide” and where common ground can be

Comment by Oswego Willy Thursday, Sep 23, 21 @ 2:47 pm
I think a good topic would be “Why do so many people use their High School graduation photos for publicity purposes?”/s

Also, it would interesting to have a discussion on how alcohol and violence are related. Another topic would be why is DUI BAC at .08 when all the science shows people are clearly materially impaired at .03?

The Sox (finally) clinching a playoff spot. And possibly meeting up with the Cardinals in the World Series.

If you’ve got Cassidy and Harmon together, could be pretty interesting to get them talking about the Senate appointment she missed out on

The Secretary of State race

Wow! Looks like a rogues gallery! j/k

I’ll be sure to watch on YouTube.

Topic for tonight: Congressional remap

Dave Wasserman was interviewed last month. Was his take accurate on Illinois, particularly Lauren Underwood and Bill Foster?

Red, blue or grey, which backdrop is right for you?

Actually kinda concerned about that tonight. Won’t be in my home office

Incivility, the new normal?

How about outside, with a smoking jacket and a snifter of brandy

Comment by OneMan Thursday, Sep 23, 21 @ 3:37 pm
Another topic could be the new Gaming Tax rates. Also why do people with gambling problems need to see a doctor to be place on the problem gambler list where they will bar you from entering a casino? Why can’t people place their name on this list by themselves?

Comment by Al Thursday, Sep 23, 21 @ 4:15 pm
Map lawsuit forecast?
Violence solutions? Long term & short term
SOS race?
GOP Gov race forecast?
Will Dems play in that primary for the weakest General Election - Bailey?

Following the IGPA’s Fiscal Futures Project - how would this group propose fixing Illinois fiscal imbalance? The study suggests cutting spending, raising income tax, broadening the income tax base, broadening the sales tax base, and increasing the economic growth.

Who is going to be the “Big Dog” in campaign finance for legislative campaigns?

Comment by Suburbanon Thursday, Sep 23, 21 @ 4:48 pm
Do you ever have Republicans on these panels?

Comment by Lubrecht Thursday, Sep 23, 21 @ 5:27 pm
If you had to pick a legislator for any of the statewide offices, who would it be and why? Both sides of the aisle, each chamber.

Comment by Mary Thursday, Sep 23, 21 @ 10:14 pm
== Do you ever have Republicans on these panels?==

No. If / When they emerge from super duper minority status, then perhaps.
