  • 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.

  • Ethics Conversations Continue in Springfield As Lawmakers from Both Sides of the Aisle at the Illinois Statehouse Continue to Of
    Ethics Conversations Continue in Springfield As lawmakers from both sides of the aisle at the Illinois statehouse continue to offer up ideas they believe must be implemented to curb corruption and clean up ethics, one is looking to give local prosecutors power to wiretap public corruption suspects. During a virtual press conference Thursday, state Sen. Dale Righter laid out how tumultuous it’s been with Democrats getting targeted by federal prosecutors. “So over the last 15 months, four legislators have been indicted and another one is shall we say under the intense scrutiny of the federal government is a very wide-ranging investigating,” Righter said. Last year Democratic state Sen. Tom Cullerton, D-Villa Park, was charged with embezzling money from a labor union. Cullerton is still a member of the General Assembly and the case is pending. Also last year, former state Rep. Luis Arroyo, D-Chicago, was arrested for bribing an unnamed state Senator who was wearing a wire. Arroyo later stepped down from the legislature. Earlier this year former state Sen. Martin Sandoval, D-Cicero, pleaded guilty to running cover for the red light camera industry while taking money on the side. He’s cooperating with further investigations. Earlier this month, former state Sen. Terry Link, D-Vernon Hills, pleaded guilty to tax evasion. Link is believed to be the state Senator who wore a wire for federal prosecutors in the Arroyo case, though he’s denied that. Tuesday in Springfield the second hearing of a special House Investigating Committee is looking into a ComEd bribery scheme that implicated House Speaker Michael Madigan, D-Chicago.
