The push to legalize marijuana in Illinois still on

State rep Kelly Cassidy 

(PS) The push to legalize marijuana in Illinois is still on the table in Illinois for the coming January sessions down state. With a growing crisis in Illinois, this would be one of the smartest moves law makers could make at this point in Illinois! State Representative Kelly Cassidy and state Senator Heather Stein both have authorized bill's on the table to legalize marijuana in Illinois!

"We are going to do it the way it makes the most seance" Stein stated, as the bill will be changed from what was introduced in March. There will be more regulatory guidelines and a proper tax structure implemented over the next few months. As the primarily liberal state is moving towards legalization there are still a lot of hoops to jump.

Illinois spends an estimated $200 Million a year fighting marijuana and we currently have an estimated 357,021 people unemployed. With figures like this, we need to find a solution. Believe it or not in only 10 years the savings from prosecution alone would take care of 10% of our outstanding debt. This is something Kassidy and Stein have both acknowledged.The state is in need of growth for the positive and with the current financial issues were nowhere near where we need to be.

At this point, the projected tax revenue is over $350 Million and the state is in desperate need of the tax revenue and it's essential that we fix the gap some how. As one of the most progressive states in the US, we are in need of a change. If we do not bar the gap we will surely be headed towards a state wide bankruptcy in the next few years. Illinois has long been troubled with criminal law makers and corruption and we are drained. A law to legalize marijuana is a sure fire way to help balance out Illinois and reduce our spending at the same time.

Illinois currently has $15 Billion in unpaid bills and counting. As of Thursday law makers approved a $36 billion dollar budget including $8 Billion towards our unpaid debts. Adding $350 Million a year would be a great way to help balance us out state wide.

Jill Stein tied into the Trump and Russia meetings?

Jill Stein - Green Party candidate for President 2012 , 2016 

What, Jill Stein has to do with Trump Jr.’s meeting last summer with the Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya is not very clear at all, as the Senate  Committee provided no context for its demands, which are to be honored by August 2, 2017. A request for an explanation to Stein’s former campaign manager remains unanswered and though she is active on Twitter, Stein has made no acknowledgment on that social media network of her name’s appearance in or is relevant to the Trump Jr. inquest.

None of this, of course, prevented some on Twitter from rejoicing at the idea that Stein was herself the subject of investigation. The joy is premature but understandable. Stein’s self-righteousness exasperated many supporters of Hillary, as did her portrayal of Clinton as effectively no better a choice for true liberals than Donald Trump himself. Some have blamed Stein for “spoiling” the election, doing for Clinton what her fellow progressive Ralph Nader had done 17 years before for to  Al Gore. Her demand for a recount—a demand for which she reaped $7 million in donations—struck some as a pointless publicity ploy. 

Having been a supporter of Stein I do feel she did it to gain publicity but for a righteous cause. Though it may be another 100 years before an off party candidate wins the election Stein has paved the way in a sense for this opportunity. Jill Stein ran for president in 2012 and in 2016. Prior to those runs, she had run for governor in Massachusets in 2012 and again in 2010. We will follow this story as it builds! 

Political insider claims Trump's presidency is 'effectively over'

Hours after three Republican senators including John McCain dealt a crushing blow to President Donald Trump's hopes of repealing Obamacare, at least one political operative claimed the Trump presidency "is effectively over."

Sen. Ted Cruz's former campaign manager Rick Tyler made the stunning declaration during an appearance on MSNBC's Morning Joe on Friday.

"I think this presidency is effectively over," Tyler told co-host Mika Brzezinski.

"If you look back to different presidencies, you look at Bill Clinton " he continued. "He had a rough first two years, very difficult two years. But after Oklahoma City he was able to regain his footing and become presidential until he slipped on a blue dress."

"But saying that aside, this president cannot change. Nothing about his behavior tells me, since the beginning of this process, that he was going to change," he added. "If he cannot change and he cannot become presidential and he cannot convince the majority of the American people to enact some legislative agenda that he wants passed, his presidency, legislatively, is effectively over."
