Type Bloomington in the SEARCH to see what Illinois budgeted. Wesleyan isn’t the only non-government entity getting money.

Is Wesleyan discounting tuition to local residents too much to fund their own projects or did the local reps decide to gift them your money?

Next type Normal in the SEARCH.

Unit 5 isn’t happy with the windfall from the 1% Sales Tax they got. More State gifts are in the budget which prove they will never have enough money.

Why did these guys get a half a million?

Meanwhile the capital of Illinois – Springfield – is now the 10th most dangerous cities in Illinois. How about not voting for aldermen who despise the police Springfield! https://blnnews.com/2026/04/09/if-you-couldnt-see-the-chaos-in-springfield-you-can-now/

  1. Actually it should be #1, as that is where all the state legislation takes place. Crimes of the centuries!
