🎙️ Episode 252 Stupid Laws and Taxes in Illinois 🤦‍♀️📜💸 Illinois is famous for deep-dish pizza, Lincoln… and apparently some truly head-scratching laws and taxes. In this episode, Cathrine and Tracy dive into the ridiculous, outdated, and downright dumb things still on the books — and what we’re supposed to do with all that frustration as people of faith. 🆕 Segment 1: Cathrine’s 4 NEW Illinois Laws You Might Not Know About Cathrine kicks things off with four newer laws that many Illinois residents probably missed — because they quietly passed, sound fake, or make you say, “Wait… that’s real?” 😳 Think modern rules that still somehow feel wildly unnecessary or over-complicated. 📜 Segment 2: Tracy’s TOP 12 Dumb Laws Still on the Books Tracy brings the heat with 12 ridiculous Illinois laws  From strange restrictions to laws that feel like they were written during the horse-and-buggy era, these will have you laughing, groaning, and questioning reality. 🤯 Segment 3: Cathrine’s 13 Stupid Illinois Laws Cathrine fires back with 13 more absurd laws, proving that Illinois has range when it comes to legal nonsense.

And whose inscription?” “Caesar’s,” they replied. Then he said to them, “So give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.” Jesus reminds us: yes, governments are flawed… but our ultimate allegiance is to God. 🙏
