DePue: We are with Governor Edgar again, and we just got you to the position of legislative liaison for Governor Thompson. So I thought it was appropriate—and we’ve talked about Thompson quite a bit—to take a step back and have you just discuss, a little bit, his political career and how he ended up being governor; and then we’ll go into some of the specifics about the relationship that you had with Governor Thompson. Edgar: Jim Thompson had grown up in the Chicago area. I think he grew up in Oak Park— Oak Park? DePue: Oak Forest? Edgar: No, it is Oak Park, yeah.

  • Calvo, Horace 1988-1991
    Horace L. Calvo 1988-1991 © Illinois Supreme Court Historic Preservation Commission Image courtesy of the Illinois Supreme Court A four-term member of the Illinois General Assembly before serving on the Illinois Supreme Court, Horace L. Calvo was born in Chicago to working-class parents, Horace L. and Mary Drew Calvo, on January 4, 1927. The family moved to Mount Sterling, and young Horace graduated from St. Mary’s Academy, Springfield Junior College, and the University of Illinois. He attended but did not graduate from Lincoln College of Law in Springfield and St. Louis University Law School. He served in the U.S. Army Air Corps from 1944 to 1947, and on June 28, 1947 he married Josephine Beth, daughter of William and Elizabeth Faust Beth.1 They became the parents of two sons and two daughters. Calvo received his law license in 1956, at a time when a law degree was not a state requirement for legal practice.2 He practiced in Granite City until 1975 in the firm Calvo, Mateyke & Hill, specializing in worker compensation cases. From 1961 to 1968, he served as an Assistant Illinois Attorney General under William G. Clark, later an Illinois Supreme Court Justice. In 1968, Calvo won election to the Illinois House of Representatives, representing the Granite City area. He was a member of the House Committee investigating allegations of judicial impropriety against Supreme Court justices Roy J. Solfisburg Jr., and Ray I. Klingbiel. !2 “Observers considered the committee a high-powered group,” reported the Chicago Sun-Times, “indicating the depth of concern in the General Assembly over the allegations against the two justices.” As a result of the committee investigation, both Solfisburg and Klingbiel resigned from the Court.3 In 1975, the Supreme Court appointed Calvo a judge of the Third Judicial Circuit, comprising Bond and Madison counties, in the Criminal Felony and Civil Law divisions.

  • A Citizen's Guide to Using the Illinois Freedom of Information
    A Citizen’s Guide to Using the Illinois Freedom of Information Act Preface Open government is key to a democracy and citizen participation in it. In the wake of scandal involving former Gov. Rod Blagojevich, the Illinois Legislature and the new governor, Patrick Quinn, rewrote the Illinois Freedom of Information Act in 2009. Many of those changes took effect in 2010. Debate over some of them continues today. To help citizens, government officials and journalists understand and use this new law – and the Open Meetings Act - the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at Southern Illinois University Carbondale is pleased to publish “A Citizen’s Guide to Using the Illinois Freedom of Information Act” by former veteran Illinois political reporter Adriana Colindres. The Institute would like to thank several experts for their help in preparing this guide, including Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan for the help of her office; William Freivogel, director of the SIUC School of Journalism; and Josh Sharp, director of government relations for the Illinois Press Association. This is a guidebook. It should not be considered a substitute for sound legal advice from your attorney. Finally, it is important that supporters of open government remain vigilant in protecting the public’s right to know information, however embarrassing and uncomfortable it may be. Many interest groups and individu- als are constantly chipping away at laws seeking to protect openness in an effort to carve out exemptions that would legalize secrecy for themselves or their groups. As we have seen too often in Illinois, secrecy in government can be a breeding ground for corruption or a cover for embarrassing or incompetent behavior by government officials.

  • CAPITOL COMPLEX the Michael J
    CAPITOL COMPLEX The Michael J. Howlett Building is south of the Capitol. Formerly the Cen- tennial Building, it was erected to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Illi- nois’ admission to the Union as the 21st state. The cornerstone of the $3 million building was laid in 1918, and the building was completed in 1923. Additions in 1928 and 1966 converted the original rectangular structure into a square build- ing while retaining the original classic architectural design. Several departments of the Secretary of State’s office are located in the building, and historic flags carried by Illinois regiments during the Civil War, the Spanish-American War and World War I are preserved carefully in display cases in Memorial Hall, just inside the building’s two main entrances on the north side. Immediately west of the Capitol is the William G. Stratton Building. Ground was broken for the H-shaped, 448,000-square-foot structure on Feb. 15, 1954, and it was completed some 20 months later at a cost of $11.5 million. It contains the offices of members of the State Senate and House of Representa- tives as well as some state agencies and departments. 460 Adjacent to the Margaret Cross Norton Building is the Illinois State Mu- seum, designed to display the many historic, artistic and natural treasures of Illinois. The official groundbreaking ceremony was held Jan. 5, 1961, and the $2.2 million building was dedicated on Feb. 4, 1963. The museum has four large exhibit halls, two on each of the first two floors. Curatorial offices and related laboratories and shops are located on the third floor along with the staff’s tech- nical library.
