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 with their home facility? Will inmates be furloughed on electronic monitoring? If so, are they eligible for the 12 hours of free movement policy that was recently changed by the Prisoner Review Board and IDOC? Will furloughed inmates be accompanied by IDOC staff during their time outside of IDOC facilities? What will be the process for furloughed inmates to return to IDOC custody? Last week, Governor Pritzker announced similar policy changes that stops the transfer of offenders from county jails to IDOC facilities in most cases and allows for the early release of certain IDOC inmates. Information regarding these policy changes has been limited as well, but one news report this week stated 450 inmates have been released from IDOC custody. Please provide a response to the following information requests: Rob Jeffrey Acting Director Page 2 A list containing the name of every inmate released under this policy change containing the following information: o The crime for which the inmate was sentenced to IDOC o The criminal history used in the analysis for the early release decision of each inmate. What offenders would you accept the transfer of from county jails to IDOC facilities? Are inmates being released on electronic monitoring? If so, are they eligible for the 12 hours of free movement policy that was recently changed by the Prisoner Review Board and IDOC? Lastly, on March 31, 2020, Governor Pritzker stated, “… Any and every one of our DOC residents who falls seriously ill with COVID-19 will receive available medical assistance to get through it, including an ICU bed and a ventilator, if necessary… Hospitals that refuse to take on residents of the Department of Corrections will be called out by name, and those that refuse to operate in accordance to their oath can and will be compelled to do so by law.” We represent many Critical Access Hospitals with limited intensive care capabilities, particularly under the current circumstances. The majority of IDOC facilities are located outside of the Chicagoland area and in communities with Critical Access Hospitals. We request additional information on what your expectations are for the hospitals and medical facilities located near IDOC facilities and your contingency plans on how IDOC may utilize those hospitals and medical facilities. Upholding the rule of law and keeping our communities safe are some of our top priorities. We look forward to your prompt reply to this inquiry as we work to maintain the public safety of our state and keep our constituents informed on Governor Pritzker’s executive actions. Signed, Rep. Tim Butler Rep. Mike Marron Rep. Jim Durkin Rep. Darren Bailey Rep. John Cabello Rep. Deanne Mazzochi Rep. Tom Bennett Rep. C.D. Davidsmeyer Rep. Tony McCombie Rep. Avery Bourne Rep. Tom Demmer Rep.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 2017 Political Contributions January Through June
    Political Contributions Exelon Corporation’s (Exelon) success depends on sound public policies at the national, state and local levels. Issues vital to Exelon’s ability to recognize value for its stakeholders are debated and decided in the U.S. Congress, state legislatures and local forums across the country. Federal and Pennsylvania law prohibit companies from making political contributions to Federal and Pennsylvania candidates. The laws of Illinois, Maryland and other states and some local governments limit the amount that Exelon and its affiliated companies can give to political candidates and PACs. Other states and local governments prohibit corporate contributions to election campaigns. Exelon engages in political activity in accordance with all relevant state and Federal laws. Exelon Corporation, Atlantic City Electric Company, Baltimore Gas and Electric Company, PECO Energy Company and Potomac Electric Power Company have established political action committees that are funded solely through voluntary employee contributions (ExelonPAC, ACE PAC, BGEPAC, PECOPAC and Maryland Pepco PAC). Commonwealth Edison Company and Exelon Generation Company also have Illinois state political action committees which may be funded by both employee and corporate contributions (ComEd PAC and ExGenPAC). Exelon provides limited administrative support to all seven PACs. These PACs offer eligible employees a direct means to voluntarily participate in shaping public policy and expressing views on issues related to our business. The PACs operate in accordance with all relevant state and Federal laws. Information about ExelonPAC is available on the website of the Federal Election Commission at www.fec.gov. In the interest of transparency for our shareholders and stakeholders, Exelon has posted its Corporate Political Contributions Guidelines on its website.
