The uncounted change will be put into a large, transparent water jug in the Commons every Sunday, where we can watch the coins pile up over time. In late spring 2018, people can enter a pool to guess the total amount collected ($5/guess), the person with the closest guess will win 10% of the Common Cents collection. All proceeds from the collection and the pool will go to the CUF general fund, FY18.

  • Illinois Legislative Update October 30, 2017
    Laborers’ International Union of North America Midwest Regional Office John F. Penn, LIUNA Vice President and Midwest Regional Manager Illinois Legislative Update October 30, 2017 Local Right to Work (for Less) Prohibition Comes Up 1 Vote Short; Another Vote Next Week Supporters of workers and the unions that protect them last week fell one vote shy of overriding Gov. Bruce Rauner’s veto of a bill that would prevent local governments from passing local Right to Work (for Less) laws. However, we will have one more opportunity to override the veto when lawmakers return to Springfield next week for the final week of Veto Session, November 7th through the 9th. The Illinois Senate easily rejected Rauner’s veto of SB 1905 by a 42-13 vote on Tuesday. All 35 Democrats in attendance and voting supported the motion. In addition, seven Republican senators also supported the override, including: Sens. Neil Anderson (R-Moline), Sam McCann (R-Jacksonville), Sue Rezin (R-Peru) and Paul Schimpf (R-Murphysboro). But the biggest fight would be in the House where 71 votes are required to override a veto. When the bill passed in June all Democrats supported the bill (three were absent) and three Republicans joined them to bring the vote total to 67. On Wednesday, 66 Democrats were in Springfield and, once again, all voted against Right to Work (for Less) by supporting the override motion. Three different Republicans joined them this time: Reps. Terri Bryant (R- Murphysboro), John Cabello (R-Loves Park) and David Harris (R-Mt. Prospect). However, of the three GOP members who voted for the bill this summer, only one, Rep.

    1 Mayoral Election in Evanston, Illinois: In the Wake of Covid-19 I Logistics On February 23, 2021, Evanston, Illinois had a Local Primary Election. The ballot included races for aldermen, City Clerk positions, and mayor. Each city in the United States dictates how local elections are held. Evanston only holds local primary elections for mayoral candidates if there are more than two candidates, and this year there were three: Daniel Biss, Lori Keenan, and Sebastian Nalls. In Evanton, when there is a primary election, if one of the candidates running for mayor receives a majority of the votes, they win by default; however, if none of the candidates receive a majority, then the two candidates with the most votes will face off again in an April election. If a primary election was forced, meaning there were initially only two candidates, then only one election in April takes place rather than a primary and subsequent election.1 In the case of the recent mayoral election, Daniel Biss received a majority of the votes in the primary election so there was not a secondary race in the later April election. II Candidates, Campaigns, and Covid-19 The Daily Northwestern, the self-proclaimed “only daily news source” of Northwestern and Evanston, links information in an article entitled “Everything you need to know about Evanston’s municipal primary” which lists information about each of the three mayoral candidates that ran in the recent mayoral race; the first candidate listed was Daniel Biss.2Daniel Biss’s campaign focused on a positive future for Evanston, especially in the wake of Covid-19.

  • The Cost of Illinois' Lawmakers POLICY ILLINOIS
    ILLINOIS POLICY INSTITUTE SUMMER 2016 SPECIAL REPORT BUDGET + TAX The cost of Illinois’ lawmakers By John Klingner, Policy Analyst, Ted Dabrowski, Vice President of Policy, and Brendan Bakala, Research Associate Additional resources: illinoispolicy.org ILLINOIS 190 S. LaSalle St., Suite 1500, Chicago, IL 60603 | 312.346.5700 | 802 S. 2nd St., Springfield, IL 62704 | 217.528.8800 POLICY Introduction The Illinois General Assembly failed to pass a full budget for fiscal year 2016 and only passed a stopgap budget for fiscal year 2017. State politicians have done nothing to stop Illinois’ unpaid bills from growing or its credit rating from falling.1 They’ve failed to pass comprehensive spending, pension and economic reforms to prevent Illinois’ fiscal collapse. Yet despite these politicians’ inaction on critical problems plaguing the state, Illinois taxpayers are still forced to pay for the cost of their legislature. In 2015, each Illinois lawmaker cost taxpayers nearly $68,000 in base pay alone, far more than lawmakers in neighboring states and more than twice what lawmakers in Iowa and Indiana earn.2 In fact, Illinois lawmakers pay themselves the fifth-highest annual lawmaker base salary in the country. 3 On top of those salaries, the total cost of Illinois lawmakers also includes generous state- provided health care, dental and earned pension benefits. Taxpayers also pay for per diem costs and mileage reimbursements when politicians are in session.4 The average total operating cost to taxpayers per active Illinois lawmaker equaled more than $100,000 in 2015 – all for what is essentially part-time work.5 The regular legislative session only runs from January through May, and most lawmakers maintain careers outside their work in the General Assembly.
