  • 2016 Election Roundup
    2016 Election Roundup President: You already know Donald Trump has won. Trump got 279 electoral college vote to 228 for Clinton. As I write this New Hampshire, Michigan, and Arizona haven’t been called. Clinton is actually ahead in the popular vote(Clinton 59,814,018 to Trump 59,611,678). US Senate: Democratic U.S. Rep. Tammy Duckworth captured a U.S. Senate seat in Illinois beating Sen. Mark Kirk, a Highland Park Republican seeking a second full term. This wasn’t a huge surprise to anyone. Duckworth won with 54.4% of the vote. Republicans will hold on to control of the Senate. The GOP defied the odds in a year in which they were almost entirely on defense and rode a wave that carried Donald J. Trump to the White House. The only seat the democrats picked up was the Kirk seat. The only other seat waiting to be called is the New Hampshire seat. Republican Senator Kellie Ayotte is down 695 votes. It sounds like Senator Ayotte will ask for a recount. US House: Republicans held on to control of the House of Representatives, but Democrats have made single-digit gains, chipping away at the GOP's 247-seat majority, the party's largest since 1928. But even with the Democrats picking up a handful of seats, Republicans maintained a strong firewall, even in districts where they feared moderate voters would oust GOP candidates. House will stay in Republican hands, were projected to come away with 235 seats and Democrats 194, with 6 seats undecided. Democrats had thus far picked up a net of seven seats, and Republicans current 247-member majority got 12 members smaller.

  • New Dem Comptroller Could Wreak Havoc
    SNG-New Dem comptroller-11-21-16 New Dem comptroller could wreak havoc By Jim Nowlan I promise readers this is the last column, at least for a while, about my near-obsession, understandable as I think it is, over the failure of the governor and Illinois House speaker to come together somehow to forge a responsible state budget. In the recent election, GOP Gov. Bruce Rauner reduced the speaker’s House Democratic majority from 71-47 to 67-51, and in the state Senate he gained two GOP seats, which brings the Dems’ majority in that chamber down to just under two-thirds. The governor was unable, however, to hang onto the office of Illinois Comptroller, which had been rather securely in GOP hands under the late Judy Baar Topinka until 2014, when Rauner appointed Leslie Munger, a businesswoman, to the post on Judy’s passing. At that time, the Democrats enacted a bill that limited Munger’s appointed tenure to two years, rather than the four years it would have been otherwise. This is a ministerial, rather than policy, office. The comptroller writes the checks to pay the state’s bills. Yet the office has been critical to Rauner. Because of the lack of a balanced budget, the state has been racking up billions of dollars in bills each recent year, which it lacks the revenue to pay. So Munger has focused on paying those overdue bills that will keep the lights on in the capitol, literally, while piling up other unpaid bills in the back office. For example, payments for employee health care services are nearly two years in arrears and are toting up 12 percent penalty charges for vendors.

  • Alliance Legislative Report (99-55)
    November 9, 2016 ALLIANCE LEGISLATIVE REPORT (99-55) STATEWIDE ELECTION RESULTS After hard fought political campaigns with astronomical spending from both parties, Illinois Republicans seemed to have emerged with the edge after Tuesday’s General Election. In the Senate, the GOP went into election night knowing they were gaining at least one seat as former State Representative and Lieutenant Governor candidate Jil Tracy (R-Mount Sterling) was running unopposed for the seat vacated by Senator John Sullivan (D- Rushville) . The other Senate Republican gain came from southern Illinois where former Harrisburg mayor Dale Fowler defeated Gary Forby (D-Benton) . Longtime incumbent Forby was a regular target of the Republicans, but had always been able to retain the 59 th District seat until this week. Many politicos will probably predict that the “Trump wave” that helped to defeat Forby in deep southern Illinois also helped to defeat State Representative John Bradley (D-Marion) . President- Elect Donald Trump won big in this traditionally Democrat part of the State as he carried Franklin County (71% for Trump), Williamson County (68% for Trump), and Pope County (79% for Trump). As with many races across the state, Bradley’s close connection to House Speaker Michael Madigan D-Chicago) was used as campaign fodder against him. Bradley, the House Revenue chairmen, lost to Dave Severin of Benton. House Republicans picked up five seats in total, but GOP incumbent Dwight Kay (R-Glen Carbon) lost resulting in a net gain of four seats. Even with losses in the House and the Senate, Illinois Democrats still have a firm grip on control of both legislative chambers with a 37-22 edge in the Senate and a 67-51 advantage in the House.
