Our Opinion laments a winter that killed fruit buds and nectar bee pollination with peaches, cherries, berries scarce this year. The piece notes limited seasonal windows, longed for at farmers markets like Aufdenkamp's and Krieg's, and says 2015 cannot be waited for.
The piece argues the 18.4 cent federal gas tax, unchanged since 1993, fails to fund modern transportation needs as gas prices rise and the Highway Trust Fund nears insolvency. It warns of costly congestion, urges a shift to user fees, and cites potential $18 billion shortfalls and political resistance to tax rises.

The piece also covers local debates on prayers at government meetings and personal anecdotes on health and safety.
George Will outlines Illinois political stalls and fiscal strain with about $100 billion in unfunded pensions and $6.7 billion in unpaid bills.
