The Illinois political blog--THE iLLINOIS OBSERVER–covers state government-related news and politics.
It focuses on the often strenuous and the occasionally senseless efforts of the Illinois General Assembly, the Governor, not-so-special interest groups, hired lobbyists, citizen lobbyists, organized labor, disorganized labor, reporters, public relations wizards, and bloggers to shape or misshape public opinion and pretzel-twist public policy.
THE iLLINOIS OBSERVER, ranked among the top 10 of independent Illinois political blogs, follows many of these unending wrangles over policy and political power or, often over, well, nothing.
You can follow along, too, here, or follow us at The Huffington Post.
Enjoy.
