By: Diane Benjamin A reader saw my post yesterday with Krystle Able’s call for activism, so she went to Springfield. https://blnnews.com/2025/05/07/normal-elected-a-child/ Secretary Kristie Noem spoofed them and didn’t speak at the governor’s mansion as advertised. Instead she spoke on the street where Springfield resident Emma Shafer (community organizer) was stabbed to death by her former […]
By: Diane Benjamin Michael Kasper denied the Due Process Rights of the 3 people who filed petitions to run for office (that State law requires Incorporated Towns to Elect) when he sent them letters denying ballot access. Kasper also violated the Due Process Rights of the 2 objectors who filed against them (Dullard and Fritzen) […]
By: Diane Benjamin The Town of Normal’s hired attorney thinks he decides who gets on the ballot and who doesn’t.

They are probably afraid of losing State grants. Not living within your means makes them captive to the overlord Pritzker, Has anybody read the Illinois Constitution? Where does […]
By: Diane Benjamin The Village of Downs has this paragraph in their City Code: PDF page 10: https://media.rainpos.com/1071/01071201807310321435182.pdf What a great racket!
