    SUAA MINI BRIEFING December 8, 2016

    SUAA MINI BRIEFING December 8, 2016 Sticking to the facts is always the best decision. Veto Session ended this past week with lingering decisions still to be made. The Stop-gap budget ends on December 31st. No budget agreement is in sight even though the Democrat and Republican Leaders are meeting with the Governor. The news keeps repeating the words balanced budget, but in truth there hasn’t been a true balanced budget in decades. The Governor is demanding a property tax freeze and term limits. Neither seem reachable and neither have anything to do with the State Budget. During the Veto Session a super majority was required to pass any legislation. The winner went to the ComEd rate hike to save the nuclear plants and, of course, jobs. Governor Rauner vetoed the $215 million going to the Chicago Public Schools for the Chicago teachers’ pension. And the House of Representatives did not have the votes to override the Governor’s veto of SB 250 – the Automatic Voters Registration bill. HJRCA0062 passed the House with a super majority. It “provides that a bill passed on or after the date of a general election but on or before the second Wednesday of January following the general election that would result in the increase of revenue to the State by an increase of a tax on or measured by income or the selling price of any item of tangible personal property or any service may become law only with the concurrence of three-fifths of the members elected to each house of the General Assembly.” In other words, no tax increase would be allowed without a super majority passage in both houses.

    The Anatomy of Influence: Government Unions in Illinois

    The anatomy of influence: Government unions in Illinois David Giuliani | Government reform analyst Chris Andriesen | Project manager Illinois Policy Institute TABLE OF CONTENTS Overall union membership Employment and union membership in Illinois 6 Overall employment, public sector vs. private sector 8 Union profiles Illinois Education Association 10 Illinois Federation of Teachers 12 American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Council 31 14 Service Employees International Union 16 Union spending Partisan breakdown 20 Largest beneficiaries 22 99th General Assembly 29 ILLINOISPOLICY.ORG | 3 INTRODUCTION In 24 states, employees of a unionized workplace can decide for themselves whether they want to join and financially support a union. In Wisconsin, this choice is extended to employees of state government. But not in Illinois; almost all government workers – including teachers, police officers and those who serve in state government – are required to pay money to a union to keep their jobs. Because of this, government unions in Illinois have long been powerful in state politics, with the major government unions donating tens of millions of dollars to political campaigns. Since 2002, Illinois’ five major government unions have spent more than $46 million on direct political contributions alone. “The anatomy of influence: Government unions in Illinois” takes a close look at unions’ political spending and the influence afforded to government unions as a result. This analysis offers an unprecedented review of the political donations to the current Illinois General Assembly, as well as top recipients of union political giving since 2002. It also highlights how profitable the business of forced unionization can be for those who run the unions by listing a sampling of the highest-compensated employees for the state’s major government unions: the Illinois Education Association; Illinois Federation of Teachers; American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Council 31; and Service Employees International Union.
