I have noticed through the years that the State is controlled by two major special interest groups from Springfield and Chicago. We have a duopoly of power between the Democrats and the Republicans. The public has to realize that with the power base these parties have in the State, all they have to do is take turns holding specific offices and can be unaccountable to the people who elect them.
One case of this is the Governor's race. In Illinois' recent history we have had both parties represented in the office and the people are left with the bills. Bloomington's own, Lex Green is changing the race this year by running as a Libertarian on the issues instead of the same old party lines. If we want the two parties to be accountable to the people again, we need to let them know there is another choice.
