not just to our public health efforts. For many decades, the U.S. has been the leader of the international order, the undisputed power, with vast wealth, economic and military power, and global reach. But our image has been tarnished badly because of the mishandling of this outbreak, made worse over the last four years by our willingness to step away from alliances and international organizations. We are weaker on the world stage than we were a few years ago, and especially since the start of the pandemic. The problem with reaching this point was summed up cogently back in October by John Halpin of the Center for American Progress, as part of a study

While advocates in Illinois were optimistic that a series of measures reforming the state’s energy landscape could pass in 2019, various factors caused the legislative package to stall while most of Gov. JB Pritzker’s first-year agenda eventually became law. At the time, advocates behind the Path to 100 Act warned of an impending “funding cliff” for renewable energy projects if the General Assembly did not act to increase the rate cap on ratepayer bills, which is the funding source of the renewable energy fund overseen by the Illinois Power Agency. Now, amid a backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, an ongoing scandal ensnaring the state’s largest utility and a potential upheaval of leadership in the Illinois House, the lawmakers pushing for that bill say the funding cliff has arrived. “The Illinois Power Agency announced the close of the state renewable energy incentives for residents in central and southern Illinois just this last Friday [Dec. 4] and incentives in Chicago and the rest of Northern Illinois are going to be gone in a matter of weeks as well,” state Sen. Bill Cunningham, D-Chicago, said in a virtual news conference Dec. 8. “This is the Path to 100 Act would number in the renewable energy in Illinois.” number of other advocates. a problem we’ve been talking about for years billions of dollars from 2021 to 2033. “We’ve kind of gotten used to the practice as One of CEJA’s key measures would and we’ve been predicting and it’s here now.

Schoenburg questions U.S. Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Illinois, amid pandemic.

December 10-16, 2020 | Illinois Times | 13 FEATURE

Q: Blagojevich, let’s talk about him for a second if we could. That, to my recollection, was a point in time where you reached the conclusion that, hey, this guy isn’t up to snuff. Walk me through how your thinking evolved on this and how it was reflected in the columns and stories that you wrote. A: I’ve always tried to be fair to people and always give people a chance to respond. Even in stories about him, I tried to do that. Honesty has always been my thing. I like politicians who are honest. I like politicians who are straightforward. I don’t like to be used in a journalistic sense. There was one situation where candidate Blagojevich was at the Statehouse in a hearing room and had some senior citizens there, including at least one, maybe more, with the Legion hats on, that kind of thing, talking about health care and what he wanted to do with health care. He did it as a press conference, but there was a room full of these people who were probably Finger pointing with former Gov. George Ryan. arranged by his campaign to be there. We would ask a question and he would talk to them – he’s using us to kind of broadcast what forth, and he did that three days in a row he wants to do, the political message he wants during the veto session. He said he wanted to Q: What do you see as the most promising to send. There were just inconsistencies. You tuck in his seven-year-old and kiss his baby. It development in journalism in the past 30 could tell that he was, I guess, a user in so was an indication of his self-absorbed nature. years, particularly in political coverage? many ways. At that time, it was a little unusual It was just a number of signals, being late to Conversely, what’s the most concerning? for a politician of a high rank to call people Vince Demuzio’s funeral, one that I wrote. A: What’s most concerning is the rise of names.

The biggest story on that was, there was Litchfield 15 minutes before the funeral in don’t care what the facts are but what they no hangar space at O’Hare or anywhere in Carlinville, which is 20 minutes away. He want the facts to be. That’s dangerous. As far Chicago. So those state planes had to take off wanted to tell people to buy drugs out of the as promising, I guess that there’s a lot of good in the morning to pick him up, fly him down, country when it was illegal at the time. It journalism being done at some nonprofit take him back in the afternoon and then fly was a succession of things that just didn’t jibe groups. I’m not that familiar with it, but I’ll back to Springfield. And so it was four flights with somebody giving it a serious and realistic mention what I think Propublica has done, for a day on state planes just to get him back and effort. example, what the Illinois Press Foundation has done with Capitol News (Illinois), which Charlie Wheeler (former head of the public affairs reporting program at University of Illinois Springfield) helped move forward, to fill gaps where local papers have not, just to try to find a model that can keep legitimate, straightforward and fair information coming to your local paper. The big papers in the age of the internet have done well because of their national reach. It’s amazing to watch the great reporting that has been done in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, papers that some people think are liberal, but there’s also some that people think are conservative that have national reach. Because of the internet, everybody can see them, pay a little bit, and make it worth the while of those organizations to have a bunch of reporters to look into things deeply and find out what’s really going on and source it and get the truth and bingo. What’s unfortunate is that in the age of the internet where everybody has so much access to everything on their telephone Schoenburg with former Gov.
