Elaine Nekrtitz is superb candidate running for State Rep in our community. She is smart, independent thinking and articulate. She has had the political courage to vote against rules put forth by Speaker Madigan that she thought should be changed and similarly had the courage to chair the Pension committee in an election year to try to tackle the biggest challenge facing our state. She may not have accomplished resolution yet but it does not take away from her hard work and dedication to try to bring people together to find a solution. She is respected by Democrats and Republicans, and without question one of the hardest working and best legislators in Springfield. That is why even though she is not in my district I have knocked on doors …

Elaine Nekritz and challenger Jonathan Greenberg. "It's always been my goal in the legislature to do things in a different way than they tradionally have been done. And that is really a solution-oriented approach, trying to address the problems that we have," Nekritz said.

Senator says mounting federal debt could hurt northern suburbs.
Towns, school districts and park boards have a higher cost of doing business because of Illinois’ deepening debt, according to the Report on Illinois Debt released Tuesday by Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Highland Park). Kirk appeared with two members of his debt advisory panel, Ron Bernardi of Lake Forest and Henry Feinberg of Chicago, to ask state government to improve the situation during a news conference Tuesday, with the intention of making the business climate in Illinois as appealing as climates found in neighboring states like Indiana and Wisconsin. “With the pantomime of governors of other states luring business away from Illinois, we have to do something to keep business here,” Kirk said. “We are the fifth largest manufacturing state and …

Northbrook ordained rabbi and AIPAC executive seeks Republican nomination for 57th state legislative district.
Jonathan Greenberg, 38, of Northbrook intends to seek the Republican nomination in the March 20 primary to earn the right to oppose state Rep.
