Cuban should purchase the Cubs and move them to Marion Il. That would allow the IDOT employees to stay in Springfield.

re personnel in the McHenry County State's Attorney's Office. 48% of the 31 assistant state's attorneys are now women.

Perhaps the old boys network doesn't like that.

I just read that the state treasurer is investing $1 Billion into Illinois banks. From an AP story in Crain's:

"(AP) â€” Illinois state Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias plans to make a $1 billion deposit in the state's banks, giving them needed cash for borrowers in a bid to dismantle a credit jam and brace the state during the financial crisis.

Giannoulias told The Associated Press he will make the money available to interest-bearing bank accounts by shifting it from lower-yielding investments in one of the first sweeping moves by a state government to face down a menacingly volatile economy.

The first-term Democrat planned to announce the cash infusion later Thursday."
