Got your tickets yet?
The response has been wonderful for our May 10th campaign ad film festival. Let us know soon if you'd like to attend, or sponsor, or support ICPR in other ways. Click here for more information.

Where's Ethics?
Our friends at the Union League Club hosted a meeting earlier this week that was intended to wrap up the Spring legislative session. At the end of the panel, the very first question began "the one word I haven't heard any of you mention is corruption." The questioner (not an ICPR staffer) wanted to know why that wasn't higher on the agenda. Let's be clear: Illinois is facing a confluence of ethics investigations at all levels of government, in all parts of the state. Illinois needs new reform legislation now. Legislators go back to Springfield next week; let them know not to adjourn without ethics.

Where's ICPR?
All of us survived the move to a larger office, as did our website and our e-mail, though the website and e-mail were down for a while. Everything should be up and running normally, but if you see something amiss, please let us know! Thanks for your patience while we got re-settled. Note that our mailing address is now 325 West Huron, Suite 500, Chicago 60610.

Please consider making a donation to ICPR. We need your contributions and your help to clean up Illinois politics. Visit our online donations page.
