    2016 Lilly Report of Political Financial Support

    16 2016 Lilly Report of Political Financial Support 1 16 2016 Lilly Report of Political Financial Support Lilly employees are dedicated to innovation and the discovery of medicines to help people live longer, healthier and more active lives, and more importantly, doing their work with integrity. LillyPAC was established to work to ensure that this vision is also shared by lawmakers, who make policy decisions that impact our company and the patients we serve. In a new political environment where policies can change with a “tweet,” we must be even more vigilant about supporting those who believe in our story, and our PAC is an effective way to support those who share our views. We also want to ensure that you know the story of LillyPAC. Transparency is an important element of our integrity promise, and so we are pleased to share this 2016 LillyPAC annual report with you. LillyPAC raised $949,267 through the generous, voluntary contributions of 3,682 Lilly employees in 2016. Those contributions allowed LillyPAC to invest in 187 federal candidates and more than 500 state candidates who understand the importance of what we do. You will find a full financial accounting in the following pages, as well as complete lists of candidates and political committees that received LillyPAC support and the permissible corporate contributions made by the company. In addition, this report is a helpful guide to understanding how our PAC operates and makes its contribution decisions. On behalf of the LillyPAC Governing Board, I want to thank everyone who has made the decision to support this vital program.

    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.

    The Anatomy of Influence: Government Unions in Illinois

    The anatomy of influence: Government unions in Illinois David Giuliani | Government reform analyst Chris Andriesen | Project manager Illinois Policy Institute TABLE OF CONTENTS Overall union membership Employment and union membership in Illinois 6 Overall employment, public sector vs. private sector 8 Union profiles Illinois Education Association 10 Illinois Federation of Teachers 12 American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Council 31 14 Service Employees International Union 16 Union spending Partisan breakdown 20 Largest beneficiaries 22 99th General Assembly 29 ILLINOISPOLICY.ORG | 3 INTRODUCTION In 24 states, employees of a unionized workplace can decide for themselves whether they want to join and financially support a union. 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.
  • Legislative Ratings

    Legislative Ratings

    About the Illinois Chamber of Commerce Legislative Ratings The ratings are based on legislators’ votes on the key business legislation of the 100th General Assembly as determined by staff and the Chamber’s Government Affairs Committee. The votes in the Senate and House are selected based on their impact on the business community. None of the bills used in the report are weighted, as there were an adequate number of legislation voted on during this General Assembly. Legislators were given a positive mark (+) on their scorecard for bills in which they voted in favor with the Illinois Chamber and were given a negative mark (-) on their scorecard for bills in which they voted against the Illinois Chamber. Legislators who voted present (P), were absent (A) or took a ‘no vote’ (NV) on a bill in which the Illinois Chamber supported were also given a negative mark (-) on their scorecard. Contrary, legislators who voted present, were absent or took a ‘no vote’ on a bill in which the Illinois Chamber opposed, were not counted for or against their final rating. Legislators who were either not a member at the time of the vote (NA) or were excused from their absence (E) during the vote were not counted for or against their final score. Members who did not meet the required number of votes were not given a rating (NE). In cases where more than one roll call was taken on a bill, the vote that best demonstrates support for employers’ vital interests was chosen. If employers are to change the culture in Springfield, they must educate themselves on the record of their representatives and hold them accountable for it.
