(The Center Square) – After the alleged murder of a Loyola University student by a migrant who was in the country illegally, Gov. J.B. Pritzker says the policy failures extend to President Donald Trump. A Venezuelan national was charged with killing Sheridan Gorman, 18, of Yorktown Heights, New York, in Chicago last Thursday. When told that Gorman’s parents pointed to government policies that led to their daughter’s murder, Pritzker said the policy failures extend beyond Illinois. “There are national failures, a failure to have comprehensive immigration reform, a failure of the president to follow his own edict to go after the worst of the worst,” Pritzker said. At the Illinois Capitol on Tuesday, State Rep. John Cabello said Gorman was killed on Chicago’s lakefront, a place Pritzker claimed was safe. “So the question before us is simple. Have you had enough yet? Have you had enough of the deadly consequences of Gov. Pritzker’s failed policies?” Cabello asked. Cabello referred to former Chicago Deputy Mayor Garien Gatewood suggesting that Mayor Brandon Johnson’s administration was anti-police after Johnson fired Gatewood last week. The mayor refused to say how his philosophy differed from Gatewood’s when he was repeatedly asked about the former deputy mayor during a press briefing at City Hall on Tuesday morning. Johnson expressed sympathy for Gorman’s family and said disturbing acts of violence set the city back. “We will not tolerate those who break the law and put the lives of others in danger,” Johnson said. State Rep. Patrick Sheehan, who is also a police officer, said Pritzker called federal law enforcement the Gestapo and Johnson called law enforcement a sickness. “How will we ever have safe communities in Illinois when the people at the top are undermining law enforcement at every single turn?” Sheehan asked. State Rep. Patrick Windhorst, R-Metropolis, said Illinois Republicans have introduced legislation to restore public safety. “Repealing the TRUST Act would allow state and local law enforcement officials and officers to communicate with federal officers to ensure that criminal illegal aliens face deportation proceedings when they are released from jail,” Windhorst said. Windhorst also outlined proposals to expand the detention net for pretrial release and giving judges discretion when individuals are deemed dangerous. After a video circulated on social media of Chicago Alderman Maria Hadden suggesting that the man accused of killing Gorman might have startled the victim, Chicago Flips Red leaders protested outside of Hadden’s office on Tuesday. “Would you say that your wife startled the illegal alien, that’s why she was shot in the back trying to run away? Would you justify your wife being killed by an illegal alien?” Chicago Flips Red Danielle Carter-Walters asked. ###

(The Center Square) — Federal investigators say an alert system at LaGuardia Airport failed to notify an Air Canada jet before it collided with a fire truck on the runway, according to a preliminary investigation. The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board provided an update Tuesday afternoon on its preliminary investigation into the collision between the Air Canada jet and a Port Authority airport vehicle on a runway late Sunday, which killed two pilots, injured dozens of passengers and prompted the airport to shut down. NTSB chairwoman Jennifer Homendy said LaGuardia has a runway safety system allowing air traffic controllers to track surface movement of planes and vehicles, but said the system "did not alert" prior to the collision. She said the ASDE-X, a surveillance system at the airport using radar and other technology, didn't sound an alarm due to the "close proximity" of vehicles merging on the runway. “Air traffic controllers should know what’s before them, whether it’s on the airport surface or in the airspace. They should have that information to ensure safety,” she said. Homendy said there were two people in the air traffic control tower cab at the time of collision — a "local controller" and the controller in charge — but said investigators haven't determined who was doing what at the time of the crash. She said it's often standard practice to have one controller doing two jobs on overnight shifts. NTSB lead investigator Doug Brazy said the flight's cockpit voice recorder and cockpit data recorder — or 'black boxes' — were recovered and are still being reviewed but provided a basic timeline of the events leading to their collision. Homendy told reporters the initial investigation was delayed because some NTSB members faced "significant" travel delays due to long lines caused by a partial government shutdown, which is affecting airport security. She also cautioned reporters about making claims that ground and air traffic controllers at LaGuardia may have been distracted, citing reports claiming that it may have been a contributing factor in the collision. There is also no evidence of air controller "fatigue" which has also been suggested as a possible cause, she said. "I would caution against pointing fingers at controllers and saying distraction was involved," she said. "This is a heavy workload environment." There are likely multiple contributing factors to the fatal accident that investigators will be seeking to determine, she said. "We rarely, if ever, investigate a major accident where it was one failure," Homendy said. "Our aviation system is incredibly safe because there are multiple layers of defense built-in to prevent an accident. So when something goes wrong, that means many, many things went wrong."

(The Center Square) – Wisconsin voters will be able to end the governor’s partial veto power on the November ballot and a poll released on Tuesday indicates that voters believe the power goes too far. The Marquette Law School Poll asked registered voters if they believe that governors should be able to significantly change the effect of legislation with a partial veto and 61% said that gives the governor too much power while 39% believe that is an appropriate amount of power for a governor. The University of Marquette Law School poll asked 850 registered voters about their preferences from March 11-18. The proposed constitutional amendment comes after Gov. Tony Evers used the current veto power to erase numbers and a hyphen to change the year “2024-25” to “2425” in a school appropriation in the budget bill. That meant a $325 per student per year funding increase for the next 400 years was allowed and later upheld in a 4-3 ruling from the Wisconsin Supreme Court. “Wisconsin governors have long had the power to cast a partial veto of budget legislation,” the poll asked voters. “This allows them to strike out individual words or sentences, in some cases significantly changing the effect of the legislation. Do you think this is an appropriate power for governors to have, or does it give too much power to governors to change the intent of the legislature?”

(The Center Square) — New York is losing hundreds of millions of dollars from unpaid tolls, according to a report, which faults the state for failing to do enough to collect the money from scofflaws evading the cashless toll system. The analysis by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority found the state's cashless tolling system is owed more than $350 million in unpaid tolls and other related fees – such as fines – which make up more than 90% of the Thruway Authority’s operating revenue. In 2025, the MTA’s bridges and tunnels carried 340 million vehicles, and tolls generated $2.5 billion the year before, the agency said. "While most drivers pay, some deliberately evade tolls, creating revenue losses that impact the entire transit system," the report's authors wrote. "Because this funding supports subway, bus, rail, and bridge and tunnel improvements, collecting unpaid tolls is a real priority." The report's authors said a majority of the scofflaws are drivers who "intentionally" ignore notices about overdue and unpaid toll charges, even after threats of suspending drivers' licenses. "When these drivers receive their toll bills, they intentionally and repeatedly ignore invoices and violation notices," they wrote. "Becoming a Persistent Toll Violator isn’t easy — it takes repeated action, disregard for the law, and three separate violation notices in a five-year period." The MTA noted that the state Legislature took steps to address the problem by increasing financial penalties for "ghost" plates that are covered or obscured and cracking down on e-commerce retailers who sell products that block license plates. The agency said it launched a multi-agency task force to remove drivers with ghost plates from New York City roadways and has stepped up other enforcement actions. Those reforms were proposed by a state commission that studied the scope of fare evasion and came up with recommendations to crack down on it. The MTA said the task force has produced results, citing more than $60 million in unpaid tolls and fees being collected as of February, with 6,744 vehicles towed and 1,644 arrests for outstanding fines and violations. But the report's authors said because only two of the five recommendations have been adopted, the state's efforts to crack down on violators "have slowed the growth of toll evasion, but not reversed it." The value of unpaid tolls tied to ghost plates increased from 2022 to 2024, according to the report. Preliminary estimates for 2025 indicate a slight dip from the $56 million in un-collected tolls "but not a significant decline" since new enforcement actions were adopted, the report's authors said. The MTA is urging lawmakers to approve a package of legislation that would enable the MTA to more forcefully address ghost plate use, empower the MTA to pursue PTVs more aggressively, and more effectively collect unpaid tolls from repeat offenders. The agency said the changes, if approved, "would provide an overdue benefit to honest drivers whose tolls have been covering for others who cheat the system." "None of these proposals target the everyday driver who accidentally misses a toll," the report's authors wrote. "This is about closing the gap on intentional, repeated bad behavior."
