Illinois Earns 11th Credit Rating Upgrade Under Gov. Pritzker
Moody's raises Illinois to its highest rating in nearly 15 years, reflecting sustained fiscal progress
gov-pritzker-newsroo m.prezly.com/illinoi s-earns-11th-credit- rating-upgrade-
...
Before Governor Pritzker restored fiscal responsibility in Springfield, Illinois experienced 24 credit rating downgrades over 15 years, including eight downgrades between 2015 and 2017. The State's unpaid bills reached nearly $17 billion, and Illinois had not received a credit rating upgrade in more than two decades. The rating of a state's bonds is a measure of their credit quality. A higher bond rating generally means the state can borrow at a lower interest rate, saving taxpayers millions of dollars.

This won't matter at all to his opponents and critics. They keep complaining about the high gas tax, all the roads under construction that the gas tax is paying for, allegedly adding taxes on many items (no, we have a legislature that debates that), and a lot of the motor fuel funds going to Chicago transit system (yes, I'm not happy with that either) Upgrades in credit will actually save Illinois more $$$ when it comes to loans and interest.
 
At least he doesn't rule by Executive Orders like someone out East does.
 
My opinion and mine alone and no one else.

Voting interference by Department of Justice monitors has already started.
And it happened in Wyoming...in a heavily Republican area.
apnews.com/article/w yoming-primary-justi ce-department-monito rs-gordon-3d454
Excerpt: "The monitors arrived soon after polls opened at 7 a.m. on primary day (August 18) and said they intended to interview voters while assessing compliance with federal civil rights and voting rights laws, Laramie County Clerk Debra Lee said in a statement.
 
Lee said her office didn't allow interviews to be conducted in polling places and denied the monitors permission to do so. The monitors questioned local officials about "the nature, length and timing of poll worker training," Lee said.
 
"Monitors requested training guides, asked how our new election equipment was acquired and wanted to examine our tabulators," Lee said.
Wyoming law allows only election observation by certified poll watchers who monitor registration and turnout, Lee said.
 
"This was a poorly managed exercise and one that showed complete disregard for our state laws and administration of our elections," Lee said in the statement.
 
The Justice Department routinely sends monitors to observe polling places or election offices, but they are not supposed to interfere with voting or election administration."
 
The Wyoming Attorney General has opened an investigation into this incident.

Judge lays out Trump's 'high noon' plot to seize power if Republicans lose the midterms
www.rawstory.com/tru mp-midterms-26777721 66/?link_source=ta_f irst_comment&ta
Conservative judge Michael Luttig warned Monday that President Donald Trump seems likely to push Congress into a "high noon" scenario if the midterms don't go well for Republicans.
 
If public polling is any indication, Democrats could win both the House of Representatives and the Senate after the midterms, which would significantly imperil the Trump administration. Trump seems to have preemptively dispatched his son-in-law Jared Kushner to negotiate some kind of truce with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), as reports of a meeting between the two men have rankled political analysts across the spectrum.
 
Luttig warned on a new episode of "The Court of History" podcast that a midterm wipeout for Republicans makes what he describes as "the final battle for America's democracy" all the more likely. The battle, he claimed, would take place on January 3, 2027.
 
That's the day that the 120th Congress is due to be sworn in. But that assumes that Republicans will agree to seat the newly elected Democrats. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has already shown a proclivity to delaying the certification of duly elected members after he held up Rep. Adelita Grijalva's (D-AZ) swearing-in for 50 days in 2025.
 
Congress adjourns at "high noon" on January 3, which means that Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is no longer technically in charge of seating new members. In that scenario, the House Clerk would notify elected members that they have been seated. Luttig warned that Republicans may try to corrupt this process to maintain power after the midterms.
 
"There are already discussions around the country that Mike Johnson would fire the existing clerk and replace that clerk with a loyalist," Luttig said.

A question here for those that are Conservative or lean right:
 
Do you believe the 2020 election was "stolen" as often repeated and claimed by DJT who won in 2024?
Do you think there was fraudulent voting in 2020 in our Tri-County area?
And if he thinks he should have won in 2020, how is it, if many non-citizens also voted in 2024, that he was able to win that year?
 
AP is reporting about his push that too many non-citizens registered to vote. If that's the case, the question is, did they actually vote?

Anyone else with different political leanings, feel free to chime in, as this is just my opinion and mine alone.
