  • 2016 Annual Report
    20 Celebrating 1996-2016 years 2016 annual report Message from the Chair The O’Hare Noise Compatibility Commission is 20 years strong and still committed to its original agreement with the City of Chicago “to mitigate O’Hare aircraft noise through sound insulation programs and technological advancements in the aircraft industry.” Its members took a leap of faith to work with the City of Chicago, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the airlines, and industry stakeholders. As a result, ONCC has become one of the most recognized and respected airport noise commissions throughout the world. Its achievements are tangible. • The Residential Sound Insulation Committee is completing its oversight duties for the remaining eligible homes identified by the FAA’s 2005 Record of Decision (ROD). More than $113 million of grant money has been allocated for this project. • Since 1982, approximately $350 million has been spent to sound insulate 124 schools in Chicago and suburban communities to ensure that students and educators have a quiet learning environment. That program was completed in 2016 under the guidelines set forth in the ROD. • Twenty years ago, the airlines operating at O’Hare agreed to abate nighttime noise through a voluntary program—Fly Quiet. The program encourages pilots and air traffic controllers to use designated preferential runways and flight tracks developed by the Chicago Department Aviation (CDA) and ONCC. Today, O’Hare’s modernization program has created both interim and permanent changes to the airport’s configuration. As a result, the burden of aircraft noise has shifted largely to communities east and west of the airport at all hours and necessitates a fresh look at the Fly Quiet program.

  • 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.

  • Pfizer Inc. Regarding Congruency of Political Contributions on Behalf of Tara Health Foundation
    SANFORD J. LEWIS, ATTORNEY January 28, 2021 Via electronic mail Office of Chief Counsel Division of Corporation Finance U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission 100 F Street, N.E. Washington, D.C. 20549 Re: Shareholder Proposal to Pfizer Inc. Regarding congruency of political contributions on Behalf of Tara Health Foundation Ladies and Gentlemen: Tara Health Foundation (the “Proponent”) is beneficial owner of common stock of Pfizer Inc. (the “Company”) and has submitted a shareholder proposal (the “Proposal”) to the Company. I have been asked by the Proponent to respond to the supplemental letter dated January 25, 2021 ("Supplemental Letter") sent to the Securities and Exchange Commission by Margaret M. Madden. A copy of this response letter is being emailed concurrently to Margaret M. Madden. The Company continues to assert that the proposal is substantially implemented. In essence, the Company’s original and supplemental letters imply that under the substantial implementation doctrine as the company understands it, shareholders are not entitled to make the request of this proposal for an annual examination of congruency, but that a simple written acknowledgment that Pfizer contributions will sometimes conflict with company values is all on this topic that investors are entitled to request through a shareholder proposal. The Supplemental letter makes much of the claim that the proposal does not seek reporting on “instances of incongruency” but rather on how Pfizer’s political and electioneering expenditures aligned during the preceding year against publicly stated company values and policies.” While the company has provided a blanket disclaimer of why its contributions may sometimes be incongruent, the proposal calls for an annual assessment of congruency.
