The Cole Memo

The Alliance for Cannabis Equity (ACE) has issued a statement in response to the most recent legislative session.

In the release, ACE addressed the failure to advance cannabis omnibus legislation, HB2911, which included language that satisfied several objectives from their list of legislative priorities.

You can view or download the entire press release below.

Earlier this year, ACE released a one-pager which included their priorities for legislative session. I produced an article with my commentary on the one-pager, which you can read here.

You can read my recap on the most recent legislative session here. The article includes GTI’s response to the concerns that have been raised by advocates. You can hear Governor Pritzker’s take on the stalled cannabis policy by clicking here.

Collin Corbett Reflects on Illinois Governor's Race and Election Results | E336 – The Cole Memo

Former independent Illinois gubernatorial candidate Collin Corbett returns to The Cole Memo for a post-election conversation about his campaign, the results of the 2026 election, and the challenges facing candidates outside the two-party system. Cole and Collin discuss his campaign's performance, his exclusion from the gubernatorial media coverage, the growing influence of national politics on state elections, and the importance of longer, more substantive political discussions. They also reflect on the broader election results, Governor JB Pritzker's political future, and what might come next for independent political movements.
