May 19, 2021 Mr. Kenny Williams President of Baseball Operations Chicago White Sox 333 W 35th St Chicago, IL 60616 Dear Mr. Williams: Upon news that the Chicago White Sox will be requiring vaccination credentials to attend certain fan sections of ballgames at Guaranteed Rate Field, we ask for your thoughtful reconsideration of proposals which could stigmatize unvaccinated Illinoisans. We strongly feel that COVID vaccines are a personal medical choice and those that do not receive it should not be excluded or stigmatized. If you agree, we ask for your intercession with this policy at Guaranteed Rate Field. Vaccine passports or solicitation of proof of vaccination should not be a requirement for Illinoisans to enjoy America’s pastime. Segregation of patrons unwilling or unable to show proof of vaccination would not only be an infringement on the liberties and freedom of Illinoisans, but also a violation of individual medical privacy. Operation Warp Speed, under President Donald J. Trump, allowed the development of COVID vaccines at a rate we have never seen in world history. These remarkable medical breakthroughs are helping allow Americans to get back to work and are protecting those who are medically able and willing to receive the vaccine. What we cannot permit, though, is disparate treatment of our constituents based on medical treatments. We are deeply troubled by potential stigmatizing of Illinoisans based on medical status. The CDC has not yet advised that all age groups and medical conditions are eligible for COVID vaccination, and as such, many Illinoisans are not yet eligible to receive the vaccine. Kids should focus on remembering to bring their gloves to ballgames, not be worried about bringing vaccination credentials. We understand people are frustrated with the private-sector-shutdowns imposed by the Pritzker and Lightfoot Administrations and are doing everything they can, as residents and businessowners, to take steps toward a return to “normalcy;” however, that return should not be predicated on exclusion of individuals based on vaccination status. Respectfully, we request you review and intercede in these policies which we feel are discriminatory and exclusionary. Sincerely, Andrew Chesney Dan Caulkins State Representative, 89th District State Representative, 101st District Page 2 Brad Halbrook Tony McCombie State Representative, 102nd District State Representative, 71st District Chris Miller Adam Niemerg State Representative, 110th District State Representative, 109th District Joe Sosnowski Blaine Wilhour State Representative, 69th District State Representative, 107th District .

Illinois Legislative Update October 30, 2017
Laborers’ International Union of North America Midwest Regional Office John F. Penn, LIUNA Vice President and Midwest Regional Manager Illinois Legislative Update October 30, 2017 Local Right to Work (for Less) Prohibition Comes Up 1 Vote Short; Another Vote Next Week Supporters of workers and the unions that protect them last week fell one vote shy of overriding Gov. Bruce Rauner’s veto of a bill that would prevent local governments from passing local Right to Work (for Less) laws. However, we will have one more opportunity to override the veto when lawmakers return to Springfield next week for the final week of Veto Session, November 7th through the 9th. The Illinois Senate easily rejected Rauner’s veto of SB 1905 by a 42-13 vote on Tuesday. All 35 Democrats in attendance and voting supported the motion. In addition, seven Republican senators also supported the override, including: Sens. Neil Anderson (R-Moline), Sam McCann (R-Jacksonville), Sue Rezin (R-Peru) and Paul Schimpf (R-Murphysboro). But the biggest fight would be in the House where 71 votes are required to override a veto. When the bill passed in June all Democrats supported the bill (three were absent) and three Republicans joined them to bring the vote total to 67. On Wednesday, 66 Democrats were in Springfield and, once again, all voted against Right to Work (for Less) by supporting the override motion. Three different Republicans joined them this time: Reps. Terri Bryant (R- Murphysboro), John Cabello (R-Loves Park) and David Harris (R-Mt. Prospect). However, of the three GOP members who voted for the bill this summer, only one, Rep.

2020 Illinois General Election Results
2020 Illinois General Election Results DISCLAIMER: All noted races below have not been certified by the Illinois State Board of Elections and are subject to change. With the massive upswing of mail-in-voting this year, it is HIGHLY likely that many races will not be final until all ballots are in. In Illinois, ballots that are post-marked for Election Day have 2 weeks from Election Day to arrive and be counted. As a result, many of the close races noted below could change and we have marked some races as too close to call. The University of Illinois System Office of Governmental Relations will keep you updated as the Illinois State Board of Elections updates these races. Note, the State board of Elections has listed December 4th as its date to certify the vote and publish official results. GRADUATED INCOME TAX AMENDMENT The constitutional amendment allowing the State of Illinois to implement a Graduated Income Tax failed at the ballot box with a vote of roughly 45% in favor and 55% opposed. The constitutional amendment needed a simple majority of all voters in the election to pass it or 60% of people who specifically voted on the amendment. The FY 21 budget negotiated on and passed in May was balanced, in part, on the projected revenues from the new graduated income tax. The consequences of this could be severe for higher education funding, as Gov. Pritzker has noted that there will need to be major cuts to public safety, education and human services in order to close the budget gap.

2017 Political Contributions January Through June
Political Contributions Exelon Corporation’s (Exelon) success depends on sound public policies at the national, state and local levels. Issues vital to Exelon’s ability to recognize value for its stakeholders are debated and decided in the U.S. Congress, state legislatures and local forums across the country.

Exelon Corporation, Atlantic City Electric Company, Baltimore Gas and Electric Company, PECO Energy Company and Potomac Electric Power Company have established political action committees that are funded solely through voluntary employee contributions (ExelonPAC, ACE PAC, BGEPAC, PECOPAC and Maryland Pepco PAC). Commonwealth Edison Company and Exelon Generation Company also have Illinois state political action committees which may be funded by both employee and corporate contributions (ComEd PAC and ExGenPAC). Exelon provides limited administrative support to all seven PACs. These PACs offer eligible employees a direct means to voluntarily participate in shaping public policy and expressing views on issues related to our business. The PACs operate in accordance with all relevant state and Federal laws. Information about ExelonPAC is available on the website of the Federal Election Commission at www.fec.gov.

ILLINOIS GENERAL ASSEMBLY Thursday, April 9, 2020 Rob
ILLINOIS GENERAL ASSEMBLY Thursday, April 9, 2020 Rob Jeffreys Acting Director Illinois Department of Corrections 1301 Concordia Court Springfield, IL 62794 Dear Acting Director Jeffreys: As you know, Governor J.B. Pritzker has taken several actions regarding inmates in the custody of the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) in response to the spread of Coronavirus throughout Illinois. Those actions have greatly increased our concerns about the public safety of the communities we represent. On Monday, April 6, 2020, Governor Pritzker issued Executive Order 2020-21, which gives you the discretion to utilize furloughs to allow certain inmates to leave IDOC facilities. Public information regarding this policy change has been limited. Therefore, we would like your response to the following questions: What are the medical, psychiatric, or psychological conditions that would make an inmate eligible for furlough? Will the type or classification of offense be a criterion to determine an inmate’s eligibility for furlough? If so, what offenders will be eligible for furlough? Will victims, the public or local law enforcement in the communities where the furloughed inmate will be, released be notified prior to the furlough taking effect? Will furloughed inmates go to medical or psychiatric facilities or other locations upon leaving IDOC custody? Will conditions be placed upon furloughed inmates during their release? If so, what conditions will be placed upon furloughed inmates? Will furloughed inmates be required to have regular check-ins
