		<title>GOPer&#8217;s Going Wobbly on Spending Restraint?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It seems the attack on Bill Brady&#8217;s budget suggestions are having some pay off.  One area Republican wanting to run for state rep., actually believes that the state living off of 90 percent of last year&#8217;s budget is a reckless idea.  24 year old Adam Brown is wobbly, reports the Decatur Herald:

		<description><![CDATA[The Senate Appropriations Committee is going to hold hearings today taking another whack at Bill Brady&#8217;s suggestion in the primary campaign that across the board cuts are a way of tackling 8 years of overspending leading to a budget gap of $13 billion this year.

		<title>Starbuck&#8217;s Thrust Into Open Carry Debate</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Three cheers for Starbuck&#8217;s Coffee.  They&#8217;ve unwillingly been thrust into a debate about open carry of pistols in their coffee chain.  Here&#8217;s the story from Fox News:
The &#8220;open carry&#8221; movement, in which gun owners carry unconcealed handguns as they go about their everyday business, is loosely organized around the country but has been gaining traction [...]]]></description>

		<title>IL Schools Cut Costs, Hike Bureaucrats Pay</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the post below I write that, &#8220;Educators will threaten to end all high school sports and extracurricular activities. Text books will be gone. The children will have no food as lunches and breakfasts must end. Regional superintendents might then be able to scrape by.&#8221;
I was being facetious.  Apparently, however, I&#8217;m not far off:
&#8220;The state&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>CBS2 Chicago: &#8220;Momentum Appears to Grow for Tax Hike&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I know Bill Brady would like to make the gubernatorial election a referendum on a tax hike.  But the help he is getting from news organizations such as CBS 2 Chicago and Sen. John Cullerton (D-Chicago) is astounding.
A poor economy and high unemployment means the money isn&#8217;t there for higher taxes.  The electorate is upset [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just as the Federal Reserve begins to show signs of confidence in a US recovery, along comes the Civic Federation of Chicago to try and ensure that Illinois lags behind &#8212; just as Illinois lagged behind when Gov.

		<description><![CDATA[It should be the other way around.  And finally, someone is taking steps to do that.  House GOP Leader Tom Cross and Senate GOP Leader Christine Radogno have introduced the Fairmap Amendment.
