A 73-year-old Illinois man was sentenced Monday to five years in prison for driving a car into a planned abortion clinic and trying to set the building on fire last year.

Philip J. Buyno of Prophetstown also was ordered to serve three years of supervised release and to pay $327,547 in restitution, prosecutors said in a news release. U.S. District Judge Colin S. Bruce handed down the sentence.

      The only thing keeping IL from turning into its neighbors to is everything north of I-80.

      Check out the “New Illinois” movement. As a guy who lives in the metro-East, its scary stuff.

        The progressivism of the metro area is standing up pretty strongly to regressives around the edge. At least where I am.
