Sarah C. Richards, Minister [email protected] BRINGING A LIBERAL RELIGIOUS PRESENCE TO THE RIVERS REGION FOR 60 YEARS BULLETIN for: July 5, 2017 through July 13, 2017 What Does it Mean to be a Community of Memory? SUNDAY SERVICE for July 9, 2017: Resist and Rejoice Rev. Sarah Richards 10:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. CUF Delegates Esther Hughes, Elena Sasso, Amy Weber and Rev. Sarah reflect on their recent experiences at the annual Unitarian Universalist Association General Assembly in New Orleans. The Unitarian Folk Orchestra provides service music. GREETERS: Kathy O’Laughlin COUNTERS: Martha Shum and Karen Swenson OPEN MINDS, July 9, 2017: 8:30 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. See you Sunday morning! SUNDAY! COMMON CENTS STARTS THIS SUNDAY! Last month, the CUF Board of Trustees approved a plan for a year-long fundraising effort, Common Cents. Each Sunday during the offering, the congregation is invited to add their pocket change to the collection plate. The uncounted change will be put into a large, transparent water jug in the Commons every Sunday, where we can watch the coins pile up over time. In late spring 2018, people can enter a pool to guess the total amount collected ($5/guess), the person with the closest guess will win 10% of the Common Cents collection. All proceeds from the collection and the pool will go to the CUF general fund, FY18. So gather up your spare change and bring it to the Sunday Service--together we grow our Common Cents! 1 THE SECOND SUNDAY POTLUCK is this Sunday. We hope that everyone will be willing to help set up and clean up. Thank you in advance! FELLOWSHIP NEWS Summer Minister, Administrator Schedules Rev. Sarah will be on study leave and vacation Tuesday, July 11 - Monday, July 31.

DUE-ing OUR PART On April 23, 2017, this congregation passed a 2018 budget which, once again, did not provide for the payment of our fair share to the Unitarian Universalist Association Program Fund (aka “dues” that pays for services and resources provided by the UUA and the UUA MidAmerica Region). The Congregation has made it clear that paying our dues is a priority, so we simply must raise more funds. For a pledge of only $91.00 ($7.59/mo.) above and beyond your current FY 2018 pledge, you can cover the cost of your own dues. For just $182.00 ($15.17/mo.), you can cover both the cost of your own dues, and sponsor those of another CUF member who may not be able to contribute financially. Several members have already made an additional pledge, and deserve our thanks. But it is not too late to do your part. If you write a check, please note “FY 2018” in the memo line so that the funds are properly distributed. If you prefer monthly automatic withdrawals from your bank account, please contact Jan Eisenhard at [email protected] to make arrangements. Thank you! CUF FISCAL RESPONSIBILITIES - WHO DOES WHAT? Confused about who and how we keep track of our income? Members may now access a description on our Members Only page, under Monthly Fiscal Reports, that describes our process and who does each task. This page needs a password. See any Board Member or our Office Administrator, DeSande R ([email protected]) for our password. LIGIOUS EDUCATION NEWS "We have a new RE Program Assistant, Jodi Ruffner!

The CUF Board has asked the Building and Grounds Committee to work out details of how we will handle that weekend and Monday. In particular, we hope to prepare for use of our parking lot, making sure it remains available for attendees of our regular Sunday events. We expect to ask for volunteers to help out at CUF that weekend, so please be thinking about that and try to make room in your plans if you can. Thanks! UNEXPLAINED CONSCIOUSNESS EVENTS: EXPLORING THE POSSIBILITIES. A course for the curious adult based on a book by local author, Robert De Filippis, will be on Tuesday, July 11th, 7:00 P.M. and continue every Tuesday Evening for three or more weeks at the Carbondale Unitarian Fellowship Building, 105 North Parrish Lane, Carbondale. Science and religion are the two lenses we look through to understand the important questions in life. Neither one does a comprehensive job without denying the other. Consequently, we usually take one or the other more seriously. In this course, we’ll search for more complete answers in the dark space between the two. In other words, is it possible that they can come together to explain more? You need not be a member of the Unitarian Fellowship to attend. The course is free, but you will need a copy of the book to attend. It is available locally at Bookworm, through the author, or on most Internet book selling sites. Special arrangements can be made for those who may not be able to afford the book. Contact Robert De Filippis at [email protected] . GENTLE CHAIR YOGA CLASS continues on Wednesday, June 14th, 1:00 p.m. in the Commons Area. Some standing poses but yoga mat is not necessary. Open to all who wish to learn about posture, breathing techniques and how to strengthen core muscles. Instructor BJ Carr. For more information, call BJ at 549-4464 or e-mail at [email protected] No charge for class but donations to CUF are welcome. ROUND TABLE READERS: The next meeting of the RTRs will be at 12 noon on Sunday, July 23. We will be discussing the book The Crusades Through Arab Eyes by Amin Maalouf. David Pellow will lead this discussion. Please note that all are welcome to attend these book discussions and, this summer, to participate in the choice of books for next year’s discussions. For more information please contact Pat Elsaid at [email protected]. WE NEED ONE ANOTHER...OPPORTUNITIES FOR CARING AT CUF CUF is looking for a Coordinator of our Caring & Sharing network. We have over thirty people on the C & S roster who provide occasional meals, rides, dog-walking and other temporary services to ill or recuperating CUF folks. The Coordinator must have regular access to email and telephone for communication with C&S volunteers and those in need of temporary help. It normally takes only a few hours per month, and earns the gratitude of the CUF community. Please contact Laura Van Abbema, ([email protected]) for more information. CUF is also looking for a Coordinator for Cards of Compassion Sunday (aka Greeting Card Sunday). On the first Sunday of every month, CUF folks sign cards for those who have shared sorrows--and sometimes joys--during Sunday Services. The CC Coordinator selects cards from the CUF card collection, addresses and stamps envelopes, sits at the Card table during coffee hour, and/or coordinates volunteers for those tasks. It takes only a few hours per month, and earns the gratitude of the CUF community. Please contact Laura Van Abbema, ([email protected]) for more information. NEW FOYER SIGN LAYOUT We want your feedback. The next time you come into the CUF building, take a look at the different layout of the Foyer Sign. Let us know what you think! Contact DeSande R at 618-529-2439 or [email protected] . 3 THE CUF CLEANING VOLUNTEERS could use some more members. This is a way to support CUF in addition to monetary support or instead of monetary support. We only need a volunteer the 2nd week of each month. A reminder is sent out each month and people who are available to help that month let me know. This is about a 2 hour commitment when you volunteer to clean. Contact Joyce Shepherd at [email protected] , call 521-0424 or talk to her after a service. The Fellowship’s ART COLONY continues to meet every Thursday from 9:30 am to 1:00 pm. All interested in expressing their creativeness through any media or crafts are welcome, whether new to art or experienced. We have a welcome basket of art supplies for newcomers.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • November 18, 2020 Director Theresa Eagleson, HFS Prescott Bloom
    November 18, 2020 Director Theresa Eagleson, HFS Prescott Bloom Building 201 South Second Street Springfield, IL 62763 Dear Director Eagleson: As members of the House Republican Caucus, we are aware that you are working with the Medicaid Working Group to address issues related to healthcare disparities across the State of Illinois. It is also our understanding that you are currently discussing Hospital Transformation funding for the State. As Legislators, we represent areas across the entire State, including central and downstate Illinois. Our districts are challenged with not only access to healthcare but certainly access to hospital care. In many of our districts our constituents travel across several counties to receive hospital care. For our constituents it is not only an issue of specialty care but simply immediate care. We encounter severe medical deserts across the state, but especially in central and downstate Illinois. Poverty knows no boundaries in our state and certainly our districts suffer equally as other areas of the state. The USDA published a research article in May of this year. In that research they found that in 2018, all the extreme poverty counties were in rural America. The health care needs of the rural communities many of us represent can best be protected by ensuring Critical Access Hospitals receive sufficient and equitable access to Hospital Transformation funding. Workers in the agricultural and meat-packing industries, many of whom are Black and Brown, rely on Critical Access Hospitals as their primary source of care. Because access to care strongly correlates to an individual’s income level, we believe that maintaining an income-based formula in allocating Hospital Transformation funding will ensure that the unique health care needs of our constituents are met, while also ensuring an equitable and fair distribution of funding statewide.

  • ICCTA Government Relations and Public Policy Report February 8, 2021 by Jessica Nardulli, ICCTA Legislative Counsel
    ICCTA Government Relations and Public Policy Report February 8, 2021 By Jessica Nardulli, ICCTA Legislative Counsel CHANGES IN FEBRUARY SESSION DATES AND DEADLINES This week, the Illinois General Assembly’s spring session has been operating as it has every year – the chambers are organizing committees (see below lists) and bills are being filed, albeit slowly. So far, 706 House bills and 133 Senate bills have been filed. But session is about to enter uncharted territory – considering legislation in virtual committees. The Senate will move online for February, conducting virtual committee meetings for the previously scheduled session days of February 9-11 and 16-18. Senate committee posting notices and hearings will be available on https://www.ilga.gov/senate/committees/default.asp. The Senate has also pushed back drafting and filing deadlines, postponing the drafting deadline for Senate bills from February 5 to February 11, and postponing the filing deadline from February 19 to February 26. That chamber’s next scheduled session date is March 2. The House will convene in person on Wednesday, February 10, to approve the House Rules, which we expect will enable them to convene virtual committees. To accommodate legislator requests to be included in Phase 1B of the vaccination plan, Gov. JB Pritzker will make a special location available in Springfield for legislators to receive the first dose on February 9. The introduction deadline for House bills is still February 11. Please click here for a list of community college-related bills identified to date. *Gov. Pritzker will deliver his combined State of the State and Budget Address on February 17* LAME DUCK BILLS The 12 House bills that passed both houses during the January 2021 lame duck session were sent to Gov.

    Legislative Report Card IMA LEGISLATIVE RATINGS FOR 2019-20 BOLDLY MOVING MAKERS FORWARD LEGISLATIVE OVERVIEW IMA by the Mark Denzler President & CEO Numbers: Every year, the Illinois General Assembly votes on thousands of bills and amendments, many of which have an impact on the manufacturing sector. While the global 9,822 pandemic curtailed much of the spring legislative session in 2020, it Bills introduced showcased the need for a strong and vibrant manufacturing sector in the United States. Manufacturers are answering our nation’s call and in the 2019-20 leading the way forward through the worst economic and health crisis in legislative session generations and we need policies that support American manufacturing. The IMA’s Legislative Report Card will showcase the lawmakers supportive of Illinois’ manufacturing economy and those that vote against job creators. We often hear political rhetoric from legislators that claim to support jobs and investment but then their actions don’t back 895 their words. Bills lobbied by the Does your legislator support manufacturing? Did your legislator vote IMA for the $3.5 billion graduated income tax hike?
