  • African American Legislators In
    VOLUME 19, NO. 3 FEBRUARY 2006 Special Edition for Black History Month AFRICAN AMERICAN LEGISLATORS IN ILLINOIS, 1876-2005 About This Issue February is Black History Month, which is commemorated in many ways by many groups throughout Illinois, the United States, and in other countries. This issue of First Reading is dedicated to the African Americans who have served, or Cecil Partee are serving, as legislators in the Illinois General Assembly. Three prominent African American legislators are featured: Cecil Partee, the first African American President of the Senate; former senator and Chicago Mayor Harold Washington, and Senator Emil Jones, Jr., current Senate President and the most senior African American legislator currently serving. For Senators Washington and Jones we present a brief biographical sketch. For Senator Partee we are able to present, in his own words, his recollection of impor­ tant events and legislative issues in his career. These excerpts cover issues of fair housing, civil rights, educational opportunity, and more, and are taken from his oral history from interviews conducted in the fall of 1979 and the spring of 1981. They have been edited slightly for clarity and flow. Unfortunately, the subjects Harold Washington of the Illinois General Assembly Oral History Program contained only one female (but not African American) legislator, so that perspective is lacking. African American Legislators John W. E. Thomas of Chicago, the first African American Illinois legislator, was elected to the House of Representatives in 1876. Since then, 129 African Ameri­ can legislators have served in the General Assembly: 29 senators (14 of whom also served in the House) and 114 representatives.

  • Governor Pat Quinn Fiscal Year 2013 Budget Address February 22, 2012 - Remarks As Prepared
    OFFICE OF GOVERNOR PAT QUINN FISCAL YEAR 2013 BUDGET Governor Pat Quinn Fiscal Year 2013 Budget Address February 22, 2012 - Remarks as prepared President Cullerton, Speaker Madigan, Leaders Radogno and Cross, Lieutenant Governor Simon, Attorney General Madigan, Secretary White, Comptroller Topinka, Treasurer Rutherford, Members of the General Assembly, distinguished guests and fellow citizens of Illinois, I’m here today to submit to you our budget for fiscal year 2013. I’m here today to tell you the truth. This budget contains truths that may not be what you want to hear. But these are truths that you do need to know. And I believe you can handle the truth. On November 2, 2010, the people of Illinois elected me to be honest and straight with them – and with you. The truth is that over the past 35 years, too many governors and members of the General Assembly have clung to budget fantasies rather than confronting hard realities, especially with respect to pension and Medicaid investments. Today, our rendezvous with reality has arrived. We must navigate our budget out of past decades of poor fiscal management, deferring bills to the future and empty promises. We must achieve fundamental and lasting budget reform. And we must do it now. In this budget, I am proposing serious spending reductions and efficiencies across state agencies and constitutional offices. But for these reductions to work, we must also stabilize and strengthen our public pension systems once and for all. We must fundamentally restructure our Medicaid program. And we must rebalance and move our most vulnerable citizens from institutions to community care.

    Larry McKeon H a life remembered Walking in Friendship · In Accomplishment · In Life · In Service Larry McKeon June 30, 1944 – May 13, 2008 Veteran · Police Officer · Elected Official · Friend Office of the Mayor City of Chicago As Mayor and on behalf of the City of Chicago, I add my voice to the many paying tribute to the extraordinary life and career of the Honorable Larry McKeon. A proud veteran, former law enforcement official and dedicated public servant, Larry faithfully served the needs and concerns of fellow citizens throughout his life. As the City liaison to the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered communities, he played an invaluable role in fostering cooperation, tolerance and understanding. As a pioneering State Representative, Larry was a strong and effective voice for his constituents and inspired us all with his selfless dedication to helping those in need. I send my condolences to the family and friends of Larry and hope you find comfort in his memory and the love he shared with you. His enthusiastic leadership and vision will be deeply missed, but his legacy will live on in the communities and causes to which he dedicated himself so faithfully. Sincerely, Richard M. Daley Mayor General Assembly State of Illinois To the Family and Friends of Larry McKeon, As the Speaker of the Illinois House of Representatives, I was honored to have served with State Representative Larry McKeon and to call him my friend. While it is true that Larry will be recorded in the annals of Illinois history as the first openly gay, HIV-positive lawmaker to serve in the General Assembly—a remarkable and important distinction, and the fact that may be most remembered—we should take care to never forget that he was also an exemplary human being and public servant.

  • End of Session Report for the First Legislative Session in Four Years, an Agreement Was Reached on a Full-Year Budget by The
    End of Session Report For the first legislative session in four years, an agreement was reached on a full-year budget by the end of the regular spring session. On May 31, 2018, both the House and Senate chambers completed approval of a package of legislation for fiscal year 2019, which begins July 1, 2018. Although additional unpaid expenses remain for pension and health insurance benefits from prior years, the fiscal year 2019 budget package does reflect this year’s spending and revenue to be balanced at around $38.5 billion. A little over half of this spending and revenue is dedicated to pensions, debt payments, Medicaid, and health insurance for state workers, which are all expenses that in large part are set by federal mandates and prior state laws. Some highlights of the fiscal year 2019 budget include reduced spending throughout state agencies, nearly 40% of which are through cuts to both the Department of Corrections and the Department of Human Services. Pension costs are also estimated to be reduced by up to $445 million, 85% of which is estimated to be the result of voluntary buyouts regarding automatic 3% annual benefit increases. Some spending increases involve the compensation costs of individuals providing social services. Additionally, colleges and universities received a two percent increase in funding along with a new state scholarship program to encourage students to attend school in Illinois with universities being asked to match state funding for the program. Early childhood education and Kindergarten through 12th grade schools received the five percent increase in funding that was envisioned in the education funding formula enacted last year.

  • Chicago's City Council's Increasing Independence
    Chicago's City Council's Increasing Independence Chicago City Council Report May 7, 2003 – November 15, 2006 Authored By: Dick Simpson and Tom Kelly University of Illinois at Chicago Department of Political Science December 27, 2006 1 In our earlier study of the Chicago City Council, from May 7, 2003 until December 7, 2005, we highlighted the Council’s newly found independence. In this last year, from December 15, 2005 to November 15, 2006, there has been increasing independence in city council voting. During the last eleven months there have been 20 divided role call votes, approximately two per month. The average aldermanic support for the mayor on these key divided votes has decreased slightly from 84% to 83%. More importantly, the mayor lost the “Foie Gras Ban” and the more critical “Big Box” ordinance, which for the first time since he was elected in 1989, forced him to use his mayoral veto. His father, Richard J. Daley, did not have to use the mayoral veto during his 22 years in office. On the other hand, Mayor Harold Washington used his veto powers frequently during his first four-year term. This Mayor Daley’s near total control of the previously rubber stamp city council has been weakened by the continuing patronage and corruption scandals. He has faced growing opposition at the grassroots, including labor unions, community groups, and organizing in the minority communities by previous and current mayoral candidates Jesse Jackson Jr., Luis Gutierrez, Dorothy Brown, and Bill "Dock" Walls. Five major issues have dominated the city council in the last year: (1) foie gras ban in restaurants, (2) aldermanic pay, (3) minimum wage requirements for large retailers (“Big Box Ordinance”), (4) a requirement for hotels to inform guests of a hotel workers’ strike, and (5) the downtown parking garage deal.
