  • Illinois' Rural Hospitals Celebrate National Rural Health Day by A.J. Wilhelmi, President & CEO, Illinois Health and Hospi
    Illinois’ Rural Hospitals Celebrate National Rural Health Day By A.J. Wilhelmi, President & CEO, Illinois Health and Hospital Association and Pat Schou, Executive Director, Illinois Critical Access Hospital Network Over 1.4 million Illinoisans live in rural communities and rely on their local hospital as an important—and often only—source of care. As representatives of Illinois’ 87 small and rural hospitals, including 51 critical access hospitals, Illinois Health and Hospital Association (IHA) and Illinois Critical Access Hospital Network (ICAHN) are proud to recognize National Rural Health Day [November 21], which celebrates rural communities, highlights the unique health challenges and opportunities they face, and brings together hospitals and other stakeholders who work tirelessly to improve the health and wellbeing of their neighbors. The dedication of small and rural hospitals to providing access to quality healthcare extends beyond the walls of the hospital. When state budget cuts left the Effingham County Health Department without the staff to provide hearing and vision screenings in local schools, HSHS St. Anthony’s Memorial Hospital stepped in to provide the screenings at no cost to the schools. And to help tackle childhood obesity, Pana Community Hospital partnered with a local school district, where 65 percent of students come from low-income families, which are disproportionately affected by the disease. Hospital staff led physical education classes for six weeks and students received a pedometer to track their steps. The list of community-based services provided by small and rural hospitals is extensive, and it is filled with powerful examples of neighbors helping neighbors. Illinois’ small and rural hospitals have an annual economic impact of over $12 billion that includes providing direct employment opportunities and indirect strengthening of the local economy through the purchasing of goods and services from local businesses.

  • 117Th Illinois Congressional Delegation
    ILLINOIS CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION 117th Congress Two Senators represent each state in the U.S. Senate and are elected to serve six-year terms. U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (D) of Springfield was elected to represent Illinois for a fifth term in 2020. Tammy Duckworth of Hoffman Estates (D) was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2016. (See pages 16-19 for U.S. Senator photos and biographies.) In the November 2020 general election, Illinois voters elected 18 candidates to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives for two-year terms. Thirteen Democratic and five Republican U.S. Representatives were elected to serve in the 117th Congress. The November 2020 general election was historical, with the most women ever elect- ed to serve in Congress. Democrat Marie Newman and Republican Mary Miller — repre- senting districts that were previously held by men — added to the increase of female Representatives. Newman definitively won the general election to represent the 13th District after defeating 16-year incumbent U.S. Rep. Dan Lipinksi (D) in the March pri- mary. Miller won the 15th District seat that was previously held by U.S. Rep. John Shimkus (R), who served 12 terms in Congress and opted not to run for reelection. Since 1818, Illinois has had a total of 20 female U.S. Representatives. In 2021, seven are currently rep- resenting our state — a record-breaking total. The 117th Congress serves from Jan. 3, 2021, to Jan. 3, 2023. A view of the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. 36 | 2021-2022 ILLINOIS BLUE BOOK 1st Congressional District BOBBY L.

  • PPP’S Latest Poll of North Carolina Voters Shows Current Attorney General Roy Cooper Leading Current Governor Pat Mccrory 43/41
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 9, 2015 INTERVIEWS: Tom Jensen 919-744-6312 IF YOU HAVE BASIC METHODOLOGICAL QUESTIONS, PLEASE E-MAIL [email protected], OR CONSULT THE FINAL PARAGRAPH OF THE PRESS RELEASE NC Governor’s Race Continues To Be A Toss Up Raleigh, N.C. – PPP’s latest poll of North Carolina voters shows current Attorney General Roy Cooper leading current Governor Pat McCrory 43/41. This is nearly identical to Cooper’s lead of 44/41 over McCrory in a June 3rd poll. Cooper is viewed much more favorably at 36/20 than McCrory of whose job performance voters disapprove of 33/48. Women support Cooper more widely than McCrory at 46/36, while men support McCrory more at 47/39. “Pat McCrory’s approval rating this month is the lowest we’ve found for him since he took office,” said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. “His dealings during this legislative session have antagonized some conservative voters without winning him any new friends across party lines. The big question though is whether this increased unhappiness with him will persist or fade once the legislature has gone home.” Incumbent Republican United States Senator Richard Burr maintains a sizeable lead against all potential Democratic challengers. Burr leads Dan Blue 45/35, Grier Martin 47/33, Mike McIntyre 44/35, Brad Miller 46/36, Heath Shuler 44/36, and Beth Wood 45/34. Blue and Wood are viewed more favorably than unfavorably at 18/16 and 16/11 respectively. Miller is viewed as favorably as he is unfavorably at 14/14.

  • Electronic Voting
    Short Report: Electronic Voting 15 SR 001 Date: April 13, 2015 by: Matthew Sackett, Research Manager TABLE OF CONTENTS Part I: Introduction Part II: General Overview of Electronic Voting Systems Part III: Summary of National Conference of State Legislatures Research on Electronic Voting (Survey) Part IV: Wyoming Legislature’s process and procedures relating to vote taking and recording Part V: Conclusion Attachments: Attachment A: NCSL Survey Results WYOMING LEGISLATIVE SERVICE OFFICE • 213 State Capitol • Cheyenne, Wyoming 82002 TELEPHONE (307) 777-7881 • FAX (307) 777-5466 • EMAIL • [email protected] • WEBSITE http://legisweb.state.wy.us Page 2 PART I: INTRODUCTION As part of the Capitol renovation process, the Select Committee on Legislative Technology asked LSO staff to prepare an update to a report that was done for them previously (2008) about electronic voting systems. The previous report included as its main focus a survey conducted by the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) to other states that asked a variety of questions on electronic voting both in terms of equipment and legislative procedures. For purposes of this update, LSO again reached out to Ms. Brenda Erickson, a staff specialist knowledgeable in the areas of electronic voting and voting process and procedure from NCSL, to again conduct a survey related to process and procedure of other states related to electronic voting. Before engaging in a discussion of electronic voting systems, it is important to recognize that electronic voting systems are tools for facilitating legislative business. These systems are subject to legislative rules, processes and procedures. It is the implementation, and subsequent enforcement, of legislative rules and procedures related to voting process, not just the systems technology, which create accountability in the process.
