17th District (southwest, west and northwest suburbs): Republican incumbent Elizabeth Doody Gorman has only a gentle challenge from Democrat Jim Hickey (no survey), who heads the Orland Fire Protection District. Hickey didn’t complete our election questionnaire, and we weren’t able to reach him. We endorse Gorman with undying gratitude for her persistence in gradually killing the Stroger tax. And we applaud her work...

I strongly support Cook County Treasurer Maria Pappas who today called upon the Illinois General Assembly to increase the time hard-pressed taxpayers have to pay delinquent taxes. We support Senate Bill 3356 which would set the deadline at 13 months - extending it from the current 9 months. Adding the additional time for homeowners can make the difference between losing a home and saving it. Please contact your state legislators and ask them to support Senate Bill 3356.
I have a better idea!! How about LOWERING the taxes?? Cut spending, live off the same pay as average working people, term limits, and NO RAISES!!
Amen sean
Crookland no matter what...🤬
If you have a pet that you can no longer care for, please bring them to a shelter. DO NOT dump them off in public like trash... They deserve much better.
I'd also like to commend Cook County Animal and Rabies Control warden John Haralamos who rushed to the scene and brought the dog to a vet. Good work John!
Abandoned dog recovering after found in trash bag in Willow Springs
The male pit bull was found by authorities "cold and severely dehydrated" in a double-bagged trash bag.NEVER ABANDON AN ANIMAL AND REPORT ALL THOSE WHO DO!
If you don't want it, at the very LEAST, let it go!
This is not how you prepare a budget... by floating a budget plan that ties more than 40% of promised education funding to voter approval of the governor's referendum for a progressive income tax (tax increase).
GOP Says Pritzker Tying School Funding to Tax Vote Is ‘Shameful’
Republicans on Thursday called it “shameful” that Gov. J.B. Pritzker is floating a budget plan that ties more than 40% of promised education funding to voter approval of his coveted tax-structure overhaul.Maybe Blago will rat on this clown
They want more money for what when they have more money in the Bank already Since they have the marijuana taxes
How come a billionaire like Mark Dayton did the same up in Minnesota years ago and it worked. More people from here now live and work in Minnesota because they have jobs. He raised taxes on the rich up there and they paid.
Sadly He is a deceiver in all his ways
Sean thank you for keeping us informed. Please keep fighting for the hard working people of Illinois.
Sean I believe extortion is a class a felony
Gov. Tommy Boy is a new low in Illinois politics and that isn’t easy.
Vote him out people
Another A hole democrate
Cook County Board Commissioner Sean Morrison is sounding the alarm about the progressive income-tax system that Gov. J.B. Pritzker has been pushing to replace the state's current flat income-tax rate.
“What state government is looking to do with a constitutional amendment allowing them to remove a cap that could then be arbitrarily changed by the House or the Senate would be extremely dangerous,” Morrison told Chicago City Wire. “We all know Springfield has far from a great record when it comes to managing tax dollars, and we are already the highest accumulated-taxed state in the country.”
Government job force, not taxpayers, the big winner in progressive tax systems, Morrison says

I do not understand the tax system. I wish we could get it explained to us in ‘First Grade’ narrative.
Progressive tax does not work, states that tried it within 5 years or less scrapped it. WAKE the hell up!
Looking forward to moving to Wisconsin. Hehe
Sean, as usual, you offer a clear headed approach to government leadership. Unfortunately, you are a rare breed. In fact, as rare as hen’s teeth! We want to know what is being done with the tax revenues from marijuana sales. Colorado solved its nagging twenty year school budget deficit in just eight months after start of marijuana sales. How come the governor hasn’t mentioned anything about this new source of revenue? Moreover, why not postpone the progressive tax issue for a few years to see if it will even be needed? The problem as you wisely noted is the funding of unionized public employee retirement programs. Wisconsin and Indiana had the same budget issues, but unlike Illinois both states had courageous leaders who ended their budgel crises by ending tax funded public employee pensions and instituting retirement programs like the rest of the country has in the commercial sector! Guts not tax increases is what Illinois needs and right now you’re the only one with any! We’re lucky to have you! Blessings! Calvin and Puja Trout
Preaching to the choir!! Eliminate redundant layers of government. When democrats create jobs they are tax payer funded jobs. We are paying to work at this point not working to get paid.
Cook County Commissioner Sean Morrison I'm guessing you may have heard by now that IL. Dem.State Rep. Lilly is bringing a bill to outlaw people pumping their own gas! I AM LIVID! As I had stated before, I am a SENIOR citizen on limited income and this MOST definitely would RAISE our gas prices AGAIN!! This IS a TERRIBLE IDEA and NOT needed! We've BEEN pumping our own gas since the 60's. If something is NOT broke, DON'T FIX IT! Can you do anything about this? WHY is it this kind of thing being FORCED upon us? We don't get a "say?" I called her office this morning in Springfield at 217-782-6400 and I was NOT pleasant. EVERYONE NEEDS TO CALL, but I'm hoping you have some kind of "sway!"
Thank you Sean M. Morrison for all that you do!
With all of the serious fiscal issues that the state of Illinois is faced with right now, how does someone introduce a bill like this? Where are the priorities?
“It provides that no gas may be pumped at a gas station in this State unless it is pumped by a gas station attendant employed at the gas station. Effective January 1, 2021.”
This bill was introduced by IL State Rep Camille Lilly (D-Chicago).
In New Jersey you cant pump your own gas. I don’t understand why it’s still that way. Wasn’t that the way it use to be here in Illinois, when I was a kid back in the 70’s?
Well. Isn't this a novel way to inflate job prospects in Illinois! Just look at the new jobs created under Pritzker 🙄
Ok so they are mandating a $13.00 --$15.00 an hour job (that will be the minimum wage) that they won't be able to fill because so many are leaving the state. UPS, USPS, FEDEX and Amazon cant get enough people to staff the jobs they have open.
The attendance have to be paid and up goes the gas prices again. And then they’ll end up being in a union up goes the price once again
I have seen a lot of people do strange things at the pump. Sometimes they don’t like pumping gas in the cold. So they take out the spigot while the gas is still coming out. Some throw out there cigarettes while still lit. The attendant is required to check these things while they work there shift. I think this is a good thing.
As if our gas prices aren’t high enough, now we have to pay the wages of someone to do what we’ve been doing for decades. Democrat lawmakers are driving people out of this state.
This is pure nonsense. In the 60s they pumped your gas as a courtesy of the station and gas was cheap. Now you have these high paying commissioners trying to create a jobs so gas prices will go up. 😮
That's just what we need, a reason to pay even more at the gas station. WTF ???
Who wrote this little piece of legislation?
How can they force us to watch their ads if we are sitting in our cars?😜
I am still pissed that I have to pump my own gas now, and I will not use a store that wants you to check yourself out, will not take the job of someone who needs it.
Why would we want that again?
Add it to the list of the other 50 reasons to leave this state!
Shoveling your own snow must be next.
I know it's still a few weeks away, but this has to be an April Fool's joke. 🤔🤔🤔
And a minimum wage of $15 per hour for the attendant, maybe I can apply then. Come out of retirement.
amen sean
😳 crazy crazy crazy!
What the hell ?? This is ridiculous
Cook County Commissioner Sean Morrison this is ridiculous. Whoever thought of this should be voted out
Weird
True dumbocrat style. Chicago clowns.
Must be a Madigan stupid idea!! He runs everything, including the governor. HE NEEDS TO GO.
WHAT?????????? That's RIDICULOUS! After ALL THESE YEARS!!! Gas station owners would have to INCREASE GAS prices to pay for attendants!!! SHUT DOWN this stupid DEMOCRAT Camille Lilly!!😡🤬
So stupid! Can I look under your hood ma'am?
