    The 2006 Illinois General Election A Vote Analysis I. Statewide Turnout by Region II. Illinois Governor III. Cook County Board President Roosevelt University Institute for Politics 430 South Michigan Avenue Chicago, Illinois 60605 Paul M. Green, Director January – 2007 Research Assistance Ms. Jearlean Fleming Ms. Rose Sanchez This report is a non-partisan analysis of the 2006 Illinois General Election. It is produced by the Institute for Politics at Roosevelt University – in cooperation with the Illinois State Board of Elections and is funded in part with a grant from AT&T Illinois – its author is Institute Director, Paul Green. Comments on this material are welcomed – email [email protected] or fax 312-341-4325. 1 I 2006 General Election: Illinois Turnout There is an old Chicago political adage, “If you don’t vote – you don’t count.” In the 2006 mid-term elections less than 50% of registered Illinois voters went to the polls – thus in effect giving those individuals who did vote over twice as much power to pick the state’s leaders. Overall the total 2006 turnout was 65,516 votes less than in 2002 (See Table I). Also continuing an ongoing demographic shift – only the five collar counties (DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry and Will) voting region saw an increase in voter turnout while the other three regions experienced a vote decrease. Percentage-wise the five collars constituted nearly one-fourth of the Illinois vote – this collar county statewide vote percentage gain came mainly at the expense of Chicago. The state’s biggest city voted less than 19% of the statewide vote which a generation ago would have meant big trouble for Illinois Democrats.

    Cook County Board of Commissioners Report February 23, 2007 – December 1, 2009

    Cook County Wars Cook County Board of Commissioners Report February 23, 2007 – December 1, 2009 Authored By: Dick Simpson Tom Kelly University of Illinois at Chicago Department of Political Science December 15, 2009 Over the last three years, the Cook County Commissioners have been embroiled in bitter battles over budgets, taxes, and spending. Since February 2007, there have been fourteen major divided roll call votes, twelve of which have involved the operating budget and sales tax to fund it. One was about reorganizing and adding to the county government’s debt, and one had to do with the appointment of Patrick Blanchard as the new Inspector General charged with ferreting out corruption and waste. While not as vicious or racially divided as Chicago’s famous “Council Wars” under Mayor Harold Washington, “County Wars” over budgets, debt, and taxes have been highly emotionally charged with plenty of heated rhetoric and many angry taxpayers. It is expected that the votes on these issues will play a prominent role in the February 2, 2010 primary election of the Cook County Board President and County Board members. While the news media have covered the individual votes of the county board meetings, there is no easy way to obtain the voting record of each commissioner. The Cook County Clerk does not post the controversial divided role call votes of commissioners on his website as the Chicago City Clerk does for the Chicago City Council. Therefore, we have compiled fourteen of the most critical votes for the news media, civic organizations, and voters so that they may hold commissioners accountable for their representation of their districts and the county as a whole.

    Corruption in Cook County: Anti-Corruption Report Number 3

    Corruption in Cook County: Anti-Corruption Report Number 3 February 18, 2010 Authored By: Thomas J. Gradel Dick Simpson And Tom Kelly With Andris Zimelis Kenneth Chow Alexandra Kathryn Curatolo Emily Gillot David Michelberger Marrell Stewart University of Illinois at Chicago Department of Political Science and the Better Government Association 2 Introduction Cook County government has been a dark pool of political corruption for more than 140 years. The first public corruption scandal occurred in 1869 when a number of Cook County Commissioners accepted bribes to 1 approve a fraudulent contract to paint city hall. During the last several decades, Cook County has been a center of corruption with scandals emerging in many different units of county government. By chronicling the cases we hope to call attention to the need for meaningful reform. When county government such as Cook County Clerk David Orr’s office or Assessor James Houlihan’s office do undertake meaningful reform, others sink back into the mire. Public or political corruption occurs when government officials use their public office for private gain or benefit. In Cook County government this includes outright bribes as well as campaign contributions made by individuals or corporations in exchange for jobs, inflated contracts or political favors. It includes ghost payroll jobs in which individuals get a paycheck but do no work. With an annual budget of more than $3 billion—dishonest public servants find many different ways to profit illegally. The purpose of this report is to summarize the many different forms of corruption and to recommend basic reforms that need to be enacted to clean up Cook County government.

FLORENCE HENDERSON PAGE 27 In good ‘Taste’ Gov’t moves to block DADT injunction BY REX WOCKNER Editor’s note: Windy City Times will post breaking news online at www.windycity- mediagroup.com about Judge Virginia Phillips’ decision regarding the injunction against ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ as soon as it becomes available. The U.S. government moved Oct. 14 to block a Riverside, Calif., federal judge’s worldwide injunction issued two days earlier that bars the government from mak- ing any further use of the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” military gay ban. Justice Department lawyers asked U.S. District Judge Virginia Phillips to sus- pend the injunction while the government appeals it, saying her mandated, im- mediate, universal end to DADT was imprudent and could harm the U.S. military. As of this writing, Phillips had not responded to the stay request, and Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell remains unenforceable worldwide. In issuing her injunction, Phillips said DADT violates servicemembers’ and pro- spective servicemembers’ Fifth Amendment due-process rights and First Amend- TREVOR PROJECT Beyondmedia held its “Taste of Ten” last week to mark its PAGE 9 ment rights to free speech and to petition for redress of grievances.
