LaSalle St., Suite 1500, Chicago, IL 60603 | 312.346.5700 | 802 S. 2nd St., Springfield, IL 62704 | 217.528.8800 Table of contents PAGE 03 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY PAGE 04 INTRODUCTION PAGE 07 STATE BUDGET: $54 MILLION IN WASTE, $27 MILLION IN PORK PAGE 10 LOCAL GOVERNMENT: $16 MILLION (FISCAL YEARS 2015-2018) PAGE 20 CICERO AND COUNTY GOVERNMENT: DISHONORABLE MENTIONS AND TAXPAYER TRANSPARENCY LAWS PAGE 22 CONCLUSION PAGE 22 APPENDIX A PAGE 23 APPENDIX B Executive summary Illinois taxpayers are fed up and overtaxed. Residents have little faith that their governments are spending their tax dollars well – and for good reason. The state’s most recent spending plan is out of balance by as much as $1.5 billion, and includes $54.2 million in wasteful spending and $27 million in pork-barrel spending. The line between pork and waste is admittedly blurry, but generally speaking, pork-barrel spending refers to special projects lawmakers sneak into the state budget that satisfy interests in their district. These projects may be appropriate to fund under different circum- stances or by different means. Waste, on the other hand, refers to spending that does not serve a legitimate purpose of government. Given that lawmakers made the 1,245-page budget public just hours before voting on it, the amount of both waste and pork may come as a surprise to them as well as to their constituents.

Through exciting research findings, new partnerships, and applying for National Cancer Institute designation, the CCIL has been a hub of activity. Our members continue to show that research is at our center’s core. From Stephen Boppart’s visualization of breast cancer tissue in real-time to Timothy Fan’s work in fighting osteosarcoma with immunotherapy, CCIL members are at the forefront of cancer research. To foster that work, we launched a new Seed Grant Program in the spring. This initiative builds engineering–biology collaborations and advances novel research that shows promise for future external funding.

  • Upgrades, Rebranding Designed to Further
    CRANKING UP ‘THE AMP’ BY LISA WHITE UPGRADES, REBRANDING DESIGNED TO FURTHER HEIGHTEN PROFILE OF ST. AUGUSTINE AMPHITHEATRE AND PONTE VEDRA CONCERT HALL . Amphitheatre kicked o its main-stage concert season March 1 with a sold-out show by Alabama, guests at the Florida venue couldn’t help but notice the changes. The 4,000-seat facility had been expanded by 700 seats, and a new food truck area provided fresh local options beyond the traditional concession stands. “We sell out a lot of our shows quickly, so we knew the demand was Athere and the ability to bring in bigger acts,” said Gabe Pellicer, assistant director of the venue and the adjacent Ponte Vedra Concert Hall, about the new seats. “We knew we had a lot of momentum, so we went for it.” The changes coincide with a rebranding for what’s now being called The Amp St. Augustine, including new graphics and brand colors and a fresh tagline — “Big Acts, Small Venue” — that echoes Pellicer’s words. The rebranding eorts are among a continuing eort to create a nationally known venue in a small market. “We felt like we ran into a fork in the road,” Pellicer said. “Do we create more revenue, more shows or a better experience? We’re a government-run venue that doesn’t have to chase prots, so we decided to make it the best we possibly could.” Owned and operated by the cultural events division of St. Johns County, The Amp hosts over 40 concerts and multiple community events annually, including the Saturday Farmers Market, held year-round, and the Sing Out Loud Festival, Florida’s largest free live entertainment festival and benet, held every weekend in September.
