Mr. Hellige is quite the little fascist. He serves on the board and has been trying to get this ordinance passed for some 15 years or so. He accused the landlords of "...trying to make a dime off the residents...." It sounds like Mr. Hellige is describing the methodology of government with its taxes...
Allow me to introduce you to two men who will greet you on the ballot and who, in my opinion, do not deserve to hold any public office. The men to whom I refer are St. Clair County State's Attorney Bob Haida and Chief Judge John Baricevic.
I predict that much, if not all of the opposition, will come from Chicago. Chicago is a bastion of corruption, power, and money. The problems inherent in such an urban environment set the tone for other communities in Illinois. Let's face it. Chicago pretty much runs Illinois. Whether it's political corruption, nazi-like police tactics,...

Legislative There is a legal doctrine named “void for vagueness”. Examples of the application of this doctrine can be found here, but in essence it states that “All laws should receive a sensible construction. General terms should be so limited in their application as not to lead to injustice, oppression, or an absurd consequence....
Research and Resources Research, commentary and analysis of Illinois Constitutions past and present. (This page is a work-in-progress. Some of the files can be quite large.

The Illinois Constitution, theory of government in general and a “sovereign people”. Let me begin by stating that I do affirm to being somewhat of a hypocrite. Here I am, taking much time and effort to construct a site with information to educate people about the theory regarding our system of state government; yet...
What is a constitution and why do we need one? Let’s take it a step further and discuss first who We are. Without We, there is no constitution. We are our own masters. We are the People. The People are Sovereign. Sovereignty is an important word. It is important that you understand the idea...
The Committee Proposal is Ambiguous and Self- Contradictory. It is difficult to determine the meaning and effect of the Committee proposal. The proposal declares an undefined individual right to keep and bear arms. The right is, however, completely subject to the vague concept of the "police powers" of the State. What kinds of laws...
As a matter of course, criminal charges of any type either felony or misdemeanor are initiated by the State's Attorney or grand jury in our case management system. Since the documents you filed with my office were not filed by either entity, and because some record was required, those filings were assigned case...
Inherent in grand jury’s power to subpoena any person is power to require that person to provide evidence as long as it is done within federal and state constitutional boundaries. In re May 1991, Will County Grand Jury, App. 3 Dist.1991, 159 Ill.Dec. 853, 216 Ill.App.3d 1033, 576 N.E.2d 522, appeal allowed 164 Ill.Dec....
Neither the Illinois constitution nor the legislature has attempted to define the powers of the grand jury. It has its origin in the common law and has existed for many hundreds of years. Its construction, organization, jurisdiction and method of proceeding were all well known features of the common law before the organization of...

Man as a natural resource was considered in the same terms as iron and timber. Education was to shape and mold raw humanity into the cooperative and specialized cog.
A patriot will say that a soldier “serves” his country; others may take him to task for his blind obedience. Acts considered “murderous” in...
