732 Followers 2K Following While Bruce Rauner forced a 736-day budget crisis on Illinois and wiped his hands of responsibility, real people across the state suffered the consequences.
A little midnight present for the nerds of Illinois. (It's me, I'm nerds.)
Heard through the grapevine that this might happen tonight, but the 3,000+ state budget just dropped. If you're in for some dense reading, here it is: #twill ilga.gov/legislation/10…
#MiracleWorker I couldn't help but Laugh (it's just a Crazy Coincidence), but the timing of it ... Well
Barry was a great editor and an even better person. I'll always be grateful that he put up with my occasional outbursts during editorial budget meetings early in my career when I was supposed to be there to observe, not participate. RIP
Barry Locher, former SJ-R editor, dies at 65 ift.tt/32vjcww
@SJRbreaking Cass numbers are up on gbsvote.com
@hannahmeisel I do not miss needing to plug in results from some of these counties! Esp. When one city was in multiple counties!
Hello, county clerks? Yes I have a lot of suggestions for you on designing user-friendly election results websites. Call me!
We didn’t need this tonight
Haven’t gotten an email in more than 90 minutes. Probably the longest such span this election season. Appreciating the calm before the storm.
One thing COVID can’t take? Election Night pizza.
Central Time makes more sense in a lot of ways
Heartened that my son, who’s lived his whole life in Texas, think it’s unjust that national media outlets list poll closing times in Eastern Time. “I mean, we’re in the middle. Shouldn’t everything be listed in Central Time?”
Spiceworld is a hilarious movie.
Now is a good time to drop your hottest takes while everyone is distracted by the election
Antonio's
Bill's is a great greasy spoon (and open 24-hours). Always worth a stop when in Taylorville. Tonight, I'm eating Springfield's own Luca Pizza, which our editor @leisarichardson generously had delivered to each of our homes since we couldn't be in the newsroom this year.🍕😋
This is the plaque that hangs on the wall of @SJRbreaking to honor former Sangamon County Sheriff Wes Barr’s community service. Barr died unexpectedly on Tuesday.
Looking forward to bringing what I learned today at the #MilwaukeeNewsTrain back to the @SJRbreaking newsroom. Thanks for hosting us, @journalsentinel!
Today is one of the toughest days: the last time I will work with Dave Kane in the office. @DaveKaneSJR's been the ultimate professional, the "nicest guy in Sangamon County" and a pleasure to work with. I miss many former coworkers, but Dave's a special — and dear — breed.
Especially proud to work eith Bill Welt and Ryan Mahan
After more than 35 years covering prep sports across central Illinois, today is @DaveKaneSJR’s last day at @SJRbreaking. He’s a bit of a legend around these parts. Not to mention a total pro and one of the nicest people in the business. He will be greatly missed by all of us.
Especially proud to work eith Bill Welt and Ryan Mahan
So proud and grateful to work with these people
