About us
Prairie State Wire provides candid and concise state government news.
Finally, the halls of power have a real media watchdog. Context. Consequence. Value. These are our core values at Prairie State Wire. We endeavor to provide it-- helping our readers assess the consequences of public policy decisions on their quality of life.
Our aim: improve understanding of your community, state and the world around you. Profligate spending and borrowing.
Cronyism. Nepotism. Corruption. A property tax bill bigger than your mortgage. This is what our politicians give us when they know they aren’t being watched. At Prairie State Wire, we believe sunlight is the best disinfectant. Our experienced team of researchers and news journalists stand ready to hold your local government accountable.
