(The Center Square) – Representation and taxation are behind a ballot referendum in 12 Illinois counties to consider breaking off from Cook County and forming a new state. The Illinois Separation Referendum or a similar nonbinding question is on the ballot in Coles, Gallatin, Hamilton, Henderson, Macoupin, McDonough, Monroe, Piatt, Saline, Warren and Washington counties, plus certain townships in Adams County. Coles County Board Chairman Darrell Cox said he and his colleagues voted to include the referendum on the ballot due to representation. “The reason is because the way the maps are drawn. In my mind, the legislative maps, they're gerrymandered,” Cox told The Center Square. Cox said one congressional map goes from Rockford to Champaign and another from Decatur to Springfield to East St. Louis. “Our own governor laughed about it. I mean, the map was drawn by a kindergarten class,” Cox said. Cox also pointed to uneven state legislative districts. “It wasn't so much about funding, it was more about representation. We just didn't feel that downstate residents were getting equal representation in Springfield,” Cox said. State Rep.

(The Center Square) – On Monday, Matthew Unglesbee, a 37-year-old Quincy resident, was charged with mailing threatening letters to multiple members of the state’s congressional delegation. According to a criminal complaint filed in the U.S. District Court in the Central District of Illinois, Unglesbee mailed four letters, postmarked in Springfield on Oct. 19, in plain envelopes with handwritten addresses, including the return listing his name and address. The letters were received at the offices of four members of the delegation, including Democratic Reps. Jan Schakowsky and Mike Quigley, who have both gone public about their offices receiving the letters.
