  • 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.

  • ILLINOIS GENERAL ASSEMBLY Thursday, April 9, 2020 Rob
    ILLINOIS GENERAL ASSEMBLY Thursday, April 9, 2020 Rob Jeffreys Acting Director Illinois Department of Corrections 1301 Concordia Court Springfield, IL 62794 Dear Acting Director Jeffreys: As you know, Governor J.B. Pritzker has taken several actions regarding inmates in the custody of the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) in response to the spread of Coronavirus throughout Illinois. Those actions have greatly increased our concerns about the public safety of the communities we represent. On Monday, April 6, 2020, Governor Pritzker issued Executive Order 2020-21, which gives you the discretion to utilize furloughs to allow certain inmates to leave IDOC facilities. Public information regarding this policy change has been limited. Therefore, we would like your response to the following questions: What are the medical, psychiatric, or psychological conditions that would make an inmate eligible for furlough? Will the type or classification of offense be a criterion to determine an inmate’s eligibility for furlough? If so, what offenders will be eligible for furlough? Will victims, the public or local law enforcement in the communities where the furloughed inmate will be, released be notified prior to the furlough taking effect? Will furloughed inmates go to medical or psychiatric facilities or other locations upon leaving IDOC custody? Will conditions be placed upon furloughed inmates during their release? If so, what conditions will be placed upon furloughed inmates? Will furloughed inmates be required to have regular check-ins

  • 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.

  • 2018 Legislative Summary 2018 Legislative Summary
    OUNCE ILLINOIS POLICY TEAM 2018 LEGISLATIVE SUMMARY 2018 LEGISLATIVE SUMMARY ABOUT THE OUNCE OF PREVENTION ILLINOIS POLICY TEAM The Ounce of Prevention Fund has a long history of advocacy work that is rooted in our deep experiences in Illi- nois. Through legislative, administration and grassroots advocacy, our Illinois Policy Team seeks to shape the founda- tional elements of the state’s early childhood system, including major funding streams, legislation, and federal and state initiatives. These elements should be designed, implemented and sustained to successfully achieve Illinois’ goal to equitably provide a continuum of high-quality, culturally and linguistically competent early childhood ser- vices that children and families need beginning prenatally and through the first five years. IMPORTANT SUCCESSES IN THE 2018 LEGISLATIVE SESSION The on-time, bipartisan, full-year, fully-funded FY19 state budget includes the Ounce and its partners’ request of a $50 million increase to early childhood education at the Illinois State Board of Education. It also protects funding for Department of Human Services early childhood programs, including home visiting, the Child Care Assistance Program and Early Intervention. The budget also contains a re-appropriation of more than $7 million in early childhood capital projects that had lapsed during the budget impasse. In addition to the budget wins, a number of other bills became law that are important for children and families, the early childhood system and early childhood practitioners. Legislation led by the Ounce and its advocacy partners are represented by the asterisk (*). EARLY CHILDHOOD AND GENERAL EDUCATION . SB454 Lays out timeframes and requirements for the Chicago Public School’s (CPS) special Individualized education process and procedures.
