http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/naperville-sun/ct-nvs-naperville-township-lawsuit-dismissed-st-0630-20170628-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: An Illinois Appellate Court has dismissed a lawsuit filed against the Naperville Township supervisor and two board trustees by the now-former highway commissioner over their decision to slash his budget. The suit was filed in 2016 by then-Highway Commissioner Stan Wojtasiak against then-Supervisor Rachel Ossyra and then-trustees Janice Anderson and Kerry Malm, charging their 2016 action to cut his budget by 21 percent — $540,000 — was retaliatory and politically motivated. In their decision, appellate Justices Kathryn Zenoff and Joseph Birkett ruled Wojtasiak’s case was moot because all of the officials named in the complaint are out of office and the township’s 2016-17 fiscal year concluded March 31. Anderson was elected to the DuPage County Board, and Wojtasiak, Ossyra and Malm lost their seats to Democratic candidates in the spring primary. A 2017-18 budget was adopted recently by the new board.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “There is no provision in the law for the state of Illinois to declare bankruptcy and go broke, but cities and municipalities can declare bankruptcy,” Ryan told Sneed. “A Constitutional Convention can deal with how to pay off the debt and get the state straightened around. Once convened, it can amend or completely rewrite the state’s constitution; deal with finances and taxes; give the Legislature power to change the pension laws; and give the state an opportunity to work on the financial changes they need to pay off the debt.)

— The Republicaid Party? Some GOP Senators are shrinking from entitlement reform. – Editorial
https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-republicaid-party-1498690805
(FROM THE ARTICLE: With the Senate health-care bill delayed for now, the conservative and more centrist GOP wings need to bridge a philosophical gap to succeed. The outcome of this debate will define what the Republican Party stands for—and whether the problems of America’s entitlement state can ever be solved. The biggest policy divide concerns the future of Medicaid, and here the problem is the moderates who are acting like liberals. Despite their campaign rhetoric, some Senators now want to ratify ObamaCare’s Medicaid expansion as an unrepealable and unreformable welfare program. Most of the Affordable Care Act’s insurance coverage gains have come from opening Medicaid eligibility beyond its original goal of helping the poor and disabled to include prime-age, able-bodied adults. The federal-state program has become the world’s single largest insurer by enrollment, covering more people than Medicare or the British National Health Service. Total spending grew 18% in 2015 and 17% in 2016 in the 29 states that expanded, and the nearby chart shows the growth of overall federal Medicaid spending under current law and without reform.)
