What about the mess at Sheridan Correctional Center? AFSCME and IDOC are now locking out administrative assistants who are not even in AFSCME's bargaining agenda. See my blog at http://clickforjusticeandeq... C.L.I.C.K. for Justice and Equality.

Most state parties now have the RNC host their website. The IL GOP is moving in that direction.

The IL GOP should have learned its lesson from Tom Cross' experience with Parrillo and not wasted its money on Parrillo.

To all & as a matter of fact...having read this previously about the GOP web-site on Saturday & not able to respond here in the "blog" ....I logged on to the "Illinois Republican Party" web-site Saturday, August 5th at aprox. 5:50pm & ALL was working just fine. The heading had the 5th of August & ALL functions were working !! If it's Ill. GOP perhaps a problem. If a ""problem existed"" then it must have been solved . Let's not make more of it than it is folks !! I trust they'll figure {or have}it out & it would be a tremendous embarassment were that the case !! Just an honest, actual response & report ! Go GOP !!

The federal account is not so much a reserve that the IRP can draw on, as it is means to "launder" funds if you will.

Schiznitz,

I seem to remember that funds in the IRP's federal account are typically used to funnel $$$ from the RNC to other state parties across the nation.

The electoral hurricane bearing down on the GOP looks likely to be a Category 4 or 5

...Bush is on vacation -- so time to buy duct tape and flashlights or whatever the latest cockamamie 'home defense' instructions are from Bush's Western White House.

So far we've had major terrorist attacks on our soil and entire coastline essentially flooded out thanks to Bush's vacations.

I think the IRP has a lot of money in their "federal account" and this is not disclosed.

Blagojevich's Sheridan Correctional Center mirrors the Rwanda crisis. Blagojevich has knowledge that AFSCME, the union, is involved in "compulsory unionism" with the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC), Illinois' Central Management Services (CMS), and the Illinois Department of Employment Security (IDES), yet he will does nothing about it. See my blog at http://clickforjusticeandeq... or C.L.I.C.K. for Justice and Equality. IDOC has finally admitted, by way of IDES, that they have locked out the Gateway Foundation employees who want to cross the picket lines. IDOC reports they are locked out because of security reasons, but IDOC has allowed similarly situated individuals to cross the picket lines. This is clear discrimination, which I have alerted Blagojevich too. These locked out employees have also been denied unemployment benefits even though they are eligible under Section 601 and 604 of the Illinois Unemployment Insurance Act.

....the dispute is between Gateway and its employees, so the governor would only step in if the organization's counseling services slipped...

Funny it's not hands off with the big boxes too.

The Levine stuff is fantastic. So what happens with Blagovich addressing a National Democratic confab this month and all the locals are speculating if he too is headed for Federal Correctional Institution in Terre Haute.
