With much appreciation and thanks, this billbook is dedicated to him. Mike Massie \444 - / Su]P1IEME CoURT OF ILLINOIS HOO SOUTH MuLL STREET P0 BOx 266 XAHVtLLE, IL 62263 CAtjuE±j OF (61S) 327 9751 ChIEF JUSTHE LLOYD A. KARMEIER FAX (615)327 9756 March 16, 201$ Mr. Sean Nelson Executive Director Illinois YMCA Youth and Government Dear Mr. Nelson: On behalf of the Supreme Court of Illinois, I am pleased to welcome to Springfield and to the Supreme Court Building the participants in the 69th Youth and Government Assembly. The Supreme Court Building, which we have occupied for more than a century, has always been a source of pride for the people of Illinois, not only because of its beauty and tradition, but also because of the important work that is done here. It was rededicated in 2014 after a major restoration project. I am pleased that the participants will be able to see the impressive courtroom, the inspiring artwork, and the many architectural details that make it so special. Inside the Supreme Court Courtroom, one will find three Latin words written above the main entrance: audi alieram partern. They mean “to hear the other side.” They are carved above the door on the inside so that they can be seen by the Justices as we are seated on the bench, listening to the parties’ arguments. They remind us of our duty to give fair and objective consideration to both sides of every case. As the participants work together during the Youth and Govenm-ient program, I urge them to keep those simple words in mind. Maintaining an open mind and giving fair consideration to opposing points of view is important, not only in the judicial process, hut also in every workplace, every classroom, and in every family and friendship. Be open to persuasion, even as you defend your own position. Be willing to accept that those who disagree with you may have something valuable to teach you. Above all, learn to disagree without being disagreeable. If we lose our capacity for civility and mutual respect, intolerance and mistrust will inevitably follow. With all best wishes for a successful program. VeryLQAtruly yours, -- ILLINOIS YMCA YOUTH AND GOVERNMENT SPRINGFIELD ASSEMBLY STATE OF ILLINOIS OFFICIALS BRUCE RAUNER EVELYN SANGUINETTI MICHAEL J.

    COOK COUNTY CLERK DAVID ORR 69 W. Washington, Suite 500, Chicago, Illinois 60602 TEL (312) 603-0996 FAX (312) 603-9788 WEB cookcountyclerk.com Dear Friends: The March 15, 2016 Presidential Primary shattered modern-day records going back more than 25 years. The popularity of initiatives such as Online Voter Registration and Election Day Registration, as well as registration and voting for 17-year-olds, proved there is a great desire by voters to take part in the electoral process. This was the first presidential election to include Election Day Registration and voting by 17-year- olds who will be 18-years-old by the General Election – offerings we found to be very popular with suburban Cook County voters. This 2016 Presidential Primary Post-Election Report takes a comprehensive look at the voting totals, trends and statistics during the March primary throughout suburban Cook County. Below is a sample size of the standout primary numbers: • Voting before Election Day – by mail, or during early voting and grace period voting – accounted for 22 percent of all ballots cast in this election. • Early Voting set a new primary record with 113,641 ballots cast in a Presidential Primary. • More than 23,000 suburban Cook County voters took advantage of Election Day Registration. • Nearly 4,400 17-year-olds voted, accounting for 62 percent of the 7,085 who registered to vote. • Donald Trump won 25 of the 30 Suburban Cook County Townships, garnering his best total in Stickney Township, with 62.1 percent of the vote. • Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders were separated by just nine votes in Norwood Park Township (Clinton: 1,859; Sanders: 1,850).

  • 2020 Illinois General Election Results
    2020 Illinois General Election Results DISCLAIMER: All noted races below have not been certified by the Illinois State Board of Elections and are subject to change. With the massive upswing of mail-in-voting this year, it is HIGHLY likely that many races will not be final until all ballots are in. In Illinois, ballots that are post-marked for Election Day have 2 weeks from Election Day to arrive and be counted. As a result, many of the close races noted below could change and we have marked some races as too close to call. The University of Illinois System Office of Governmental Relations will keep you updated as the Illinois State Board of Elections updates these races. Note, the State board of Elections has listed December 4th as its date to certify the vote and publish official results. GRADUATED INCOME TAX AMENDMENT The constitutional amendment allowing the State of Illinois to implement a Graduated Income Tax failed at the ballot box with a vote of roughly 45% in favor and 55% opposed. The constitutional amendment needed a simple majority of all voters in the election to pass it or 60% of people who specifically voted on the amendment. The FY 21 budget negotiated on and passed in May was balanced, in part, on the projected revenues from the new graduated income tax. The consequences of this could be severe for higher education funding, as Gov. Pritzker has noted that there will need to be major cuts to public safety, education and human services in order to close the budget gap.

In Wisconsin, this choice is extended to employees of state government. But not in Illinois; almost all government workers – including teachers, police officers and those who serve in state government – are required to pay money to a union to keep their jobs. Because of this, government unions in Illinois have long been powerful in state politics, with the major government unions donating tens of millions of dollars to political campaigns. Since 2002, Illinois’ five major government unions have spent more than $46 million on direct political contributions alone. “The anatomy of influence: Government unions in Illinois” takes a close look at unions’ political spending and the influence afforded to government unions as a result. This analysis offers an unprecedented review of the political donations to the current Illinois General Assembly, as well as top recipients of union political giving since 2002. It also highlights how profitable the business of forced unionization can be for those who run the unions by listing a sampling of the highest-compensated employees for the state’s major government unions: the Illinois Education Association; Illinois Federation of Teachers; American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Council 31; and Service Employees International Union.
