    Building a Better Illinois: Report of the Transition Co-chairs to the Governor-elect January 2015 2 Building a Better Illinois: Report of the Transition Co-chairs to the Governor-elect January 2015 3 Building a Better Illinois: Report of the Transition Co-chairs to the Governor-elect January 2015 Letter from the Transition Co-chairs Dear Governor-elect Rauner: We are pleased to submit this transition report to you and your administration. We believe the strategies and near-term actions contained in this report will jump-start the process of returning Illinois to its position of prominence among the nation’s most competitive, efficient, and compassionate states. The goal of our work over the past eight weeks has been to help accelerate the transformation toward the state we envision. Illinois has decades of structural challenges to overcome, and as a result a transformation will not occur in the course of a single transition in leadership, in the first 100 days, or even in the first year or two of your administration. Shared sacrifice and difficult decisions will be necessary for some time. Our goal in providing this report is to begin this process as quickly and effectively as possible. This report benefited greatly from the commitment of hundreds of people—leaders from business, philanthropy, and the public sector as well as experts and policy makers. Collectively, they dedicated thousands of hours to share their insights, identify promising strategies of other states, and discuss potential tactics. From the outset, we were guided by several principles: to be comprehensive in evaluating policies; to be rigorous and fact-based in our analysis; and to be inclusive and nonpartisan, to ensure that promising ideas were considered regardless of the source.

  • Female Moxie, Hard Work, Determination Result in Frey Farms' Success
    - Advertisement - Female moxie, hard work, determination result in Frey Farms’ success September 4, 2012 Sarah Frey-Talley, chief executive officer of Frey Farms LLC, headquartered in Keenes, IL, founded the company 20 years ago — when she was 16. Today it farms approximately 12,000 acres in numerous locations, in addition to sourcing from growing partners. Frey Farms Autumn Couleur heirloom pumpkin line.“Growing up, we had a small, 100-acre family farm,” Ms. Frey-Talley explained. “My mom had a 1 / 3 small route of about 12 grocery stores that she delivered melons to in the summer. When I was 16 I bought my own truck and took over her route. Mom went to work for a radio station, and my four older brothers went off to college.” Her brothers, she noted, knew that the family farm was too small to provide them with a living, so their intentions were to go into other careers. Once she had taken over the melon route, Ms. Frey-Talley began marketing to more stores. Ultimately she had 150 stores on her route, forcing her to source melons from other farms in Illinois and Indiana to fill her customers’ needs. “Over time, some of these small farmers began to retire,” said Ms. Frey-Talley. “As they did, I bought their land and operations. I had a pretty sizeable operation by the time I was 18, and I also purchased our own family farm.” As the business continued to grow, and as her brothers, Leonard Frey, Harley Frey, John Frey and finally Ted Frey, finished college, they one by one returned home to work with their younger sister.

    OPPORTUNITY Supporting local, diverse and small businesses SUPPORTING LOCAL, DIVERSE AND SMALL BUSINESSES Across the thousands of communities Walmart is privileged to operate in, we see firsthand the importance of business as a source of jobs and tax revenue. As a major retailer, Walmart can help strengthen farmers, manufacturers and small businesses around the world through our sourcing and other initiatives.
