Illinois Lottery to Issue IOUs on Winnings over $600

illinois lottery broke

 

If you are hoping to raise some money for next month’s rent, mortgage or car note by playing the Illinois lottery, you might want to reconsider.

In July, Illinois began delaying payments of lottery winnings in excess of $25,000. On Wednesday, they lowered the bar. Lottery winners of more than $600 will now receive IOUs until the state can work out its budget problems.

USA Today

The IOUs are one of the many side effects of the stalemate over a new budget between Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and the state’s Democratic lawmakers who control the Illinois General Assembly.

“Payment delays will occur because there currently is no legal authority for the Illinois Comptroller or the Illinois Lottery to issue checks,” the Illinois Lottery said in a statement. “Please note that the funding to pay winners exists, but the legal authority to issue checks does not.”

The lottery said the payments will be made once a state budget is passed….

What kind of swindle are Progressives running here? Do they really believe that people will continue to play the lottery in Illinois after they realize that in lieu of a check or cash, they will receive an IOU?

In the meantime, the Illinois Lottery website continues to reel people in with no mention visible on its website of IOUs. See below.

Rahm Emanuel to propose massive property tax increase.

Chicago Tribune By Hal Dardick and Bill Ruthhart

Mayor Rahm Emanuel is set to call for the largest property tax increase in modern Chicago history to raise enough money to make a major pension payment for police and firefighters next year, the mayor’s City Council floor leader and a City Hall source told the Chicago Tribune late Wednesday.

The mayor also plans to push a new garbage collection tax, a new per-ride fee on taxis and ride-hailing services such as Uber and a new tax on electronic cigarettes and smokeless tobacco products….

Continue Reading

Emanuel wants a tax hike of somewhere between $450 million and $550 million to pay for police and fire pensions and another $50 million for a Chicago Public Schools construction program.

In other words, as long as Emanuel appeases big labor, who cares about the burden of these tax increases on the middle class.

execution of police officer, Fox Lake, ILLINOIS, Lake County, war on law enforcement


UPDATE 2: Police One reported about 30 minutes ago on their website and Facebook page that a suspect was in custody but that report has since been rescinded.  Officer Gliniewicz is the fourth officer shot and killed in the past nine days

Lieutenant Charles Joseph Gliniewicz

Lieutenant Charles Joseph Gliniewicz

UPDATE 1: Charles Joseph Gliniewicz, Lieutenant is the name of the police officer killed this morning in Lake County, Illinois. Gliniewicz was married and the father of four sons. The 32-year veteran of the force went by the nickname, “G.I. Joe.” Source: Chicago Tribune.

Fox Lake Police Officer Charles Joseph Gliniewicz killed in  the line of duty 09012015 002

 

ORGINAL POST:

It happened again. Another police officer killed this morning, this time in Lake County, Illinois and as expected, law enforcement is out en masse, in camouflage carrying high-powered firearms, helicopters flying overhead in search of three male suspects, one Black, two Caucasian. In addition, several canine units have also been dispatched.

As reported by the Chicago Tribune, the name of the deceased officer has not yet been released to the public.

Shortly before the officer was killed, he radioed in that he was checking out suspicious activity. A moment later (around 8 a.m.), the officer radioed in once more, stating that he was in pursuit. It was at this point that contact was lost.

… The officer was discovered in a marshy area, stripped of his gun and other gear, according to Lake County Undersheriff Raymond Rose. He died at the scene, the undersheriff said…. With the help of U.S. marshals, teams of police from throughout the county were searching woods and businesses throughout the area….

The areas of the manhunt including schools are on lockdown.

What we do know about the officer is that he has children.

Breaking, as is reported being reported by the Associated Press, a federal appeals court has just thrown out five of eighteen convictions against former Illinois Governor, Rod Blagojevich for corruption and tossed out his 14-year sentence.

The court, however, did not order Blagojevich’s release. Blagojevich has so far served two years of the 14-year sentence.

Illinois: Anti-Gunner “Wish List” Legislation Introduced

15 Thursday May 2014

constitutional violations, gun-control, ILLINOIS, Senate Bill 3659


illinois state seal

 

NRA-ILA

This week, Senate Bill 3659, misnamed the “Illinois Public Safety Act,” was introduced by notorious anti-gun state Senator Dan Kotowski (D-28).  SB 3659 seeks to ban the possession, delivery, sale and purchase of many semi-automatic firearms and accessories, as well as .50 caliber rifles and cartridges unless the items have been previously owned and registered within an arbitrary period of time.  SB 3659 would also amend the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act to require background checks for private transfers of firearms, except those between family members, and would restrict magazine limits to those with a capacity of 15 rounds and smaller.

SB 3659 embodies the anti-gunner “wish list” in Illinois.  This legislation is a comprehensive anti-gun package which echoes the unconstitutional legislation passed in New York and Connecticut last year.  The laws passed in those states are currently subject to lawsuits due to their significant infringement on Second Amendment rights.

With the 2014 legislative session winding down, this bill has not yet been assigned to a policy committee.

Illinois House committee OKs $100 million for Obama library

18 Friday Apr 2014

debt, Government corruption, ILLINOIS, Obama Presidential Library


The state of Illinois’ debt is approximately $175 billion. Of the $175 billion debt, “$146 billion of which is for pensions and retiree benefits not currently funded, and $109 billion of which the state doesn’t report” yet Illinois’ House Speaker Michael Madigan is pushing a proposal that would contribute $100 million in state funds toward the construction of Barack Obama’s presidential library in Chicago.

Chicago Tribune

…Madigan said it’s appropriate for Illinois to commit public funds for the library even though the state is grappling with serious financial problems.

‘The state of Illinois will spend over $1 billion in construction this year alone, so $100 million is not out of line,’ Madigan said after the House Executive Committee threw its support behind the library funding plan in a unanimous vote. ;It’s clearly a good investment for the future.’

While presidential libraries are traditionally funded mostly by private donations, Madigan pointed out that “close to $100 million in state money” was earmarked for the Abraham Lincoln presidential library in Springfield. ‘So we have precedent for this,’ he said….

Continue Reading

 

“So we have precedent for this” — Translation — We have a precedent for spending other people’s money and money we do not have. Not to mention the thuggery of Illinois bureaucrats and contractors who see this venture as another opportunity to siphon off tax dollars.

 

Obamacare Hammer and Sickle

So again, I ask why $100 million? Why so much? All one needs is a picture of the One, a hammer, sickle and an Obamacare logo.

 

Obama presidential library

 

Oh yes and an outhouse for visitors. Just saying.
