So yesterday, fellow Illinois blog Second City Cop was threatened by a woman.  She claimed "her case" was "her business" and to remove it from SCC.  Or else. What was this case?  It involved Jennifer Koniarski who suffered an ankle injury in her third week at Chicago's Police Academy in…

Sangamon County hosts Illinois' capital city Springfield.  And Jack Campbell is the chief law enforcement officer there and he not only oversees the sheriff's department but also the county jail.  He appeared live with Greg Bishop this morning on the radio to talk about the first few days of "No…

JB Pritzker to place a large battery manufacturing plant in Illinois. For those who missed the original story, Joe Biden and JB Pritzker are giving away $8B (EIGHT BILLION…
