Just remember those above two paragraphs when Rauner’s impasse cheerleaders try to dismiss this Moody’s upgrade. We’d be in a far worse spot right now had they and Rauner won. And, yes, of course the federal government has played a huge role in Illinois’ fiscal rebound over the past year or so. It has repeatedly pumped up the economy, which unexpectedly boosted Illinois’ coffers to the point where it didn’t need to use federal funds to patch its budget holes or tap federal aid to pay back federal borrowing. The state did so well that it ended the fiscal year, which concluded on June 30, with an expected $2 billion surplus. That surplus will allow it to pay off $2 billion in pandemic- related borrowing this fiscal year. According to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, Congress has committed $126 billion to Illinois, mostly to the private sector, with about a third of the total in loans. The airline industry in Illinois alone will receive almost $16 billion, about twice what the state government received this spring from the American Rescue Plan Act.

July 8-14, 2021 | Illinois Times | 15 THEATER Shakespeare’s #MeToo moment Measure for Measure at Bloomington’s Illinois Shakespeare Festival THEATER | Dennis Thread

Measure for Measure, now onstage in a sterling production at the Illinois Shakespeare Festival in Bloomington through Aug. 4, may shock anyone who considers Shakespeare’s work as irrelevant. While he wrote the play in 1604, England was suffering through an unprecedented pandemic, with blame thrown in all directions. Political divisions were exacerbated by cultural and religious strife and scathing judgmentalism. While all that may sound familiar enough, Measure for Measure also tells the story of a young woman abused by a powerful man. Isabella, desperate to save her wrongfully condemned brother, appeals to head honcho Angelo, who makes her an offer: Give me your body and your brother will go free. The appalled Isabella threatens to reveal the In the final scene ofMeasure for Measure, Isabella, a young novice to the Order of St. Clare (played by Isa Guitian, right), challenges the all-powerful Duke of Vienna (Grant Goodman, center) as she seeks hypocrisy of the sanctimonious Angelo. But he justice for her wrongly imprisoned brother. The noble person Escalus (Lisa Gaye Dixon, left), the Duke’s throws a shattering question in her face. “Who second in command, buttresses Isabella’s suit.

One of my favorite books as a child was a cookbook called Fanny at Chez Panisse, written by the legendary chef and restaurateur Alice Waters. In it she chronicles her then-young daughter’s adventures growing up in what is still today one of California’s most iconic restaurants. In the first section of the book, a seven-year-old Fanny details the dynamic cast of characters that work in the restaurant and the farmers who supply it with some of the world’s most exquisite ingredients. Chez Panisse is often thought of as an origin point for the farm-to-table restaurant movement in the United States and the stories in the beginning of the book illustrate that perfectly. The second section is comprised of 46 recipes, organized by ingredient, and all reflecting the classical techniques and confident simplicity for which Chez Panisse is known. Although this is technically a children’s cookbook, I would argue that anyone will enjoy cooking from it. A memory from this book that has remained with me is Fanny’s description of the restaurant’s annual Bastille Day celebration: “My favorite day at Chez Panisse is Bastille Day. Bastille Day is like the Fourth of July in France only it’s on the fourteenth of July. There’s a big party every year and since Bastille Day happens at the same time of year that all the new garlic comes in, there’s always a big, special dinner that night.
