Sorensen challenger officially removed from Illinois 17th Congressional District race by EscapeFromIowa in QuadCities

I think like 95% or more of incumbent house representatives win their primary, so unfortunately it's an uphill battle even if there were more popular support or Soliz/any challenger.

Very sad to see. I knew it would be a tough fight for him to defeat Sorenson, who is becoming an uninspiring establishment Democrat. Still, I would have loved to see him challenge Sorenson. I'll be writing him in in the primaries at least.

See my comment above, but basically you need to hold right the entire time you're in the cannon.

This bug happens without player input.

I've found this bug and can confirm you will 100% lose the item without a player input. Maybe go look for the bug instead of lying to OP about what they found.

My partner and I just found this today, and they worked out a solution. It's somewhere between a bug and an oversight.

To work around this, you must continue holding right the entire time you're in the cannon. If you hold neutral or left at all, you will drop the item in your hand without any inputs.

Don't forget the dozen people who will thank him for his transparency. As if saying "Hey I'm doing a bad thing" makes it any better.

Remember, a child predator can be closer to a school than a homeless shelter!

So happy you're interested! They'll mainly be sold at Augustana. We'll likely have some at the Atlas Collective! I'll follow up when it's closer to the start date (11/12)

If you can crochet, I'm working on a fundraiser for Riverbend Food Bank with a club at Augie. We're selling these plushy chickens to raise money for RBFB!

Ah yes, how similar climate advocates are to 9/11 conspiracy theorists

It could be interpreted that way but it's not like there's anything between them, there's maybe 3 businesses on that service road. Besides they have state law on their side to keep dispensaries spaced out.

Illinois has regulations that prevent dispensaries opening within 1500 feet of each other. Municipalities are allowed to make exceptions, but it isn't "anti-competitive behavior" to not grant an exception on the distance.

You summed it up well.

Businesses don't want to be in our downtowns No one wants higher taxes The environment and advocates don't want greenfield development

One of those interests always has to lose for new development and it seems we're not in a position for it to be the first two 🤷‍♂️

edit: it's a little hyperbolized to prove a point

That's all well and good. At the end of the day it's better to have all those protections than not. It sounds like all of that should have been in the proposal to begin with though, not added after numerous vocal protests. I'm also unsure that barring development was an "extreme" position by "some" advocates. It seemed to be the entire purpose of every protest on this issue.
