ILL-inois: Driver's licenses no longer federally compliant

Illinois' secretary of state, Chicago Democrat Jesse White, has had ten years to redesign state driver's licenses and IDs so they would be compliant the the Real ID Act. Instead, the glorified ward heeler applied for waivers to circumvent the new requirements.

Well, the Department of Homeland Security said "enough" with the extensions and beginning on January 10, Illinois-issued IDs won't be good enough to enter most federal buildings. Missouri, New Mexico, and Washington card holders also face the same predicament. 

As for Illinois, clueless voters keep blindly reelecting White because he has a "D" next to his name. But White announced this summer that his current term will be his last. Good.
