(The Center Square) – Gov. J.B. Pritzker has reappointed Ann McIntyre to continue serving as inspector general for the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services.

McIntyre has held the role since 2022 and has worked in the DCFS inspector general’s office for 27 years.

VOTER ROLL QUESTIONS

Illinois U.S. Reps Mary Miller, Mike Bost and Darin LaHood are raising questions about the state’s compliance with the National Voter Registration Act.

The three Republican members of the Illinois congressional delegation requested answers from the Illinois State Board of Elections regarding the accuracy of the state’s voter rolls.

An oversight inquiry sent by the House Administration Committee on Jan. 22 identified alleged deficiencies in Illinois’ voter list maintenance practices, including counties reporting few or no voter removals in 2024.

WAGE HIKE COSTS

The Employment Policies Institute is taking issue with federal minimum wage proposals from Democratic U.S. Senate candidates in Illinois.

The research group’s analysis said minimum wage increases to $17 and $25 per hour would cost more than 21,000 jobs in Illinois and up to 1.2 million positions nationwide.

Ten Democrats and six Republicans are seeking the seat currently held by Illinois U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, who is not seeking reelection.
