  • 2017 IHCA Regular Legislative Session Report
    2017 IHCA Regular Legislative Session Report 2017 Legislative Session Overview FY17 and FY18 Budget Overview Substantive Legislative Initiatives June 2, 2017 2017 Legislative Session Overview The 2017 regular spring session came to a close with a whimper late Wednesday night. The first year of the 100th General Assembly began with the legislature and Rauner administration returning to Springfield following an acrimonious and bitter 2016 election cycle. The Democrats attempted to make the elections a referendum on the efforts of the Governor and legislative Republicans to tie non-budgetary items such as workers compensation reform, pension relief and property tax relief to the state’s budget. For their part the Republicans did the same, with messaging centered on the use of increasing income tax and protection of union interests against the Democrats. The Democrats seemingly won the day in the 2016 March primary election, defending Republican Senator Sam McCann against a Governor Rauner funded opponent who was slated as punishment for McCann’s stance against Rauner on an AFSCE friendly bill, and defeating incumbent House Democrat Ken Dunkin for his staunch support of the Republican Governor. As well, they handily defeated a Rauner funded primary opponent of Speaker Madigan (placing a primary opponent against a sitting legislative leader is all but verboten in Springfield, making this move something of a shock to the Springfield political establishment). These victories, however, weren’t quite the sign of things to come that some expected in the November general election. In the race for Illinois’ junior Senate seat, Democrat Tammy Duckworth easily surpassed incumbent Republican Senator Mark Kirk.

  • Sex Is Not Without Its Advantages
    Sex is not without its advantages Now that the baseball season in town is effectively over, cook up a good local sex scandal or two to divert attention away from these far more serious issues. July 25, 2013 By Allen R. Sanderson As Chicago's homicide rate and Illinois' pension crisis continue to garner national media attention and spiral out of control, our city and state politicians are Nero-like in their responses. We need some bold action, or at least diversion, and soon, or we risk sinking even lower on the political radar screen — we are only fifth in state population and thanks to Toronto, we are now the fifth-largest city in North America. The "flyover" section of our country has a lot to learn from the coasts — and even abroad. Thus I offer this humble suggestion: Now that the baseball season in town is effectively over, cook up a good local sex scandal or two to divert attention away from these far more serious issues. I'm not asking for an Anthony Weiner on any given day. And not even a John Edwards. But can't we at least produce in this city and state someone on the order of Eliot Spitzer or Silvio Berlusconi? I'd even settle for Mark Sanford or David Vitter. Sure, we have had more than our fair share of high-profile felons — former Govs. Rod Blagojevich, George Ryan, Dan Walker, Otto Kerner. But for what? Corruption, racketeering, bribery, fraud. Boring stuff. Where were the sexting emails, prostitutes, strippers, mistresses, photos of a blue dress or the Appalachian Trail? Our about-one-scandal-per-year Chicago aldermen have gotten their three squares a day at the public trough for the mundane: corruption, bribery, tax evasion.

  • Freshman Senators About
    Illinois Senate Freshman Senators About The 102nd Illinois General Assembly will include at least 27 freshmen members.

The Senate’s political makeup for the 102nd General Assembly includes 41 Democrats and 18 Republicans. In the Senate, the freshman class includes five Democrats, two of which were recently appointed, and three Republicans. Two more senators are set to join the freshman class after replacements are picked to fill the seats held by Sen. Bill Brady (R-Bloomington) and Sen. Andy Manar (D-Bunker Hill), who recently announced their resignations. The Daily Line’s freshman guide offers a concise overview of this year’s class of newcomers. The information included in the guide is based on public records and the member’s campaign and legislative websites. Throughout the legislative session, this guide will be updated to reflect newly available information. 1 Illinois Senate District Map 30 30 27 20 27 20 49 49 43 43 37 37 55 58 55 58 2 Darren Bailey Terri Bryant John Connor State Senator (55) State Senator (58) State Senator (43) Xenia Murphysboro Lockport Republican Republican Democrat Page 4 Page 4 Page 5 Adriane Johnson Meg Loughran Cappel Cristina Pacione-Zayas State Senator (30) State Senator (49) State Senator (20) Riverwoods Shorewood Chicago Democrat Democrat Democrat Page 5 Page 6 Page 6 Win Stoller Karina Villa State Senator (37) State Senator (27) East Peoria West Chicago Republican

  • Post-Election Report Gubernatorial Election Suburban Cook County November 2, 2010
    POST-ELECTION REPORT Gubernatorial General Election Suburban Cook County November 2, 2010 Cook County Clerk David Orr Dear Friends: The November 2, 2010 Gubernatorial Election will be remembered for a spike in no-excuse mail-in absentee voting, a significant shift in partisan support, and some extremely close races. Due to the tight contest in the 8th Congressional District, the election ended two weeks after Election Day when all absentee and provisional ballots were tallied. If the popularity of absentee voting grows, this scenario could become more common with every election. This post-election report will give you a snapshot of political trends in the Cook County suburbs. Please mull over the results and analysis. For example: ¾ More than 25,000 mail-in absentee ballots were cast, or 3.5 percent of all ballots cast — 2.5 times the number of absentee ballots cast in the 2006 gubernatorial election. This is due to the change in state law that allows anyone to request an absentee ballot. ¾ Early Voting turnout was also up considerably over 2006. About 86,000 early voted in this election, more than 2.5 times the early turnout of 33,000 in 2006. ¾ Turnout reached 53 percent, up from 50 percent in 2006. ¾ Nearly 70 percent of voters in New Trier township participated — the highest turnout by a township for the third consecutive gubernatorial election. ¾ In the 2008 presidential election, only three townships voted a majority Republican for President, the top race on the ballot. This election that number grew to 15 — half of all townships — in the U.S.
