Topics
@Trent R. Nelson : ComEd案和Madigan案以及最高法院的裁决都反映出伊利诺伊州存在的腐败文化,并且最高法院的裁决正在重塑我们对腐败的理解。 联邦政府正在削减对不同州的支出,如果这些州不遵守某些规定,伊利诺伊州也面临着类似的威胁。 政府各个部门的关联性导致任何削减都可能产生连锁反应。 @David Greising : ComEd案的四名被告虽然部分指控被判决推翻,但主要指控仍然成立,他们将面临量刑。 ComEd案中,关于贿赂是否需要在付款之前达成协议的法律争论,导致部分指控被撤销,但其他指控仍然成立。 特朗普政府削减农业部门的联邦项目,特别是削减联邦政府购买农产品的计划,引起了伊利诺伊州农民的强烈反对,他们认为这将对农业经济和社区产生毁灭性影响。 伊利诺伊州东北部地区的交通运输系统面临7.71亿美元的财政赤字,有两个合并或改革方案,一个方案由工会支持,旨在避免合并,另一个方案则建议合并成立新的机构,但会减少就业岗位。州长普利兹克的预算案中没有为解决这一赤字拨款。 美国交通部长肖恩·达菲发布命令,威胁要减少对不配合联邦移民执法的地方政府的联邦交通支出,伊利诺伊州州长和一些国会议员对此表示反对,并质疑该措施的合法性。 伊利诺伊州州长普利兹克前往新罕布什尔州演讲,这被视为其可能竞选总统的信号,他将讨论医疗补助金削减以及其他政策对美国民众的影响。 芝加哥市长布兰登·约翰逊在众议院听证会上为该市的移民政策进行了辩护,尽管他的民调支持率很低,但他表现尚可,没有损害自己的声誉或城市的形象。 公众可以通过IllinoisAnswers.org和BetterGov.org获取伊利诺伊州政府的相关信息。
