This just in… Duckworth gets AFL-CIO nod
Tuesday, Jan 10, 2006 - Posted by Rich Miller
The Illinois AFL-CIO just a few minutes ago voted to endorse Tammy Duckworth for Congress. Duckworth is in a three-way Dem primary in the 6th CD.
No endorsement was made in incumbent Democrat Melissa Bean’s congressional race. Bean has angered unions with her support of CAFTA.
More details on other endorsements in tomorrow’s Capitol Fax.

Eisendrath outlines reform plan
Tuesday, Jan 10, 2006 - Posted by Rich Miller
Looks like he one-upped Gidwitz.
From a press release:
In Chicago today, Democratic Candidate Edwin Eisendrath made a groundbreaking pledge to not raise one penny of political money if he is elected Governor of Illinois until 2010 or the passage of tough campaign finance and lobbyist control laws.
“I will not be at fund raisers. I will not be dialing for dollars. I will not be selling access to lobbyists and people doing business with the state, said Eisendrath. “I will work day and night finding ways to increase funding for our schools; I will work tirelessly to bring jobs to this state that allow us to compete in the global economy. I will spend my time getting our state’s finances back in order.’’
Eisendrath told reporters it was time to break the cycle of indictments and the addiction to raising campaign cash from the Governor’s office. Former Governor Ryan is on trial in federal court in Chicago on corruption charges. The U.S. Attorney is also investigating the Blagojevich administration’s fundraising practices.
Eisendrath said, “As Governor, George Ryan raised more than $5 _ million, and is on trial right now over that. Not to be outdone, Rod Blagojevich has raised—since becoming Governor–$16 million in the three years that’s been reported.’’
“Let me repeat that: $16 million in three years. That comes to $5.3 million every year.
More than $106,000 every work week. $21,000 every day. And $2,667 every hour of every work day he’s been Governor†[…]
Eisendrath also outlined a package of reforms that would finally put limits on campaign contributions and lobbying in Illinois. The Eisendrath legislation would:
Ban contributions from State Contractors
Ban contributions from Corporations, Unions and PACs
Limit on individual gifts
Create transfer restrictions between political funds
Require ongoing disclosure
Create real enforcement in state board of elections
Require competitive bidding of all state contracts regardless of the size
· It would also tighten control of lobbyists and make their work transparent by requiring:
Disclosure of ultimate clients
Disclosure of contract size
Reporting of specific bill or action that is the subject of lobbying activities
Improved enforcement mechanisms
Closing of the revolving door of government staffer to lobbyist and back again

Church and state
Tuesday, Jan 10, 2006 - Posted by Rich Miller
I’ve noticed an increasing amount of comments about this topic, so I figured it deserved its own thread.
There has been some controversy over Governor Rod Blagojevich’s pledge to donate a million dollars in state capital funds to the reconstruction of a building owned by the Pilgrim Baptist Church.
To people who might raise church and state questions, the governor’s office says it’s going to the school, not the church.
But then there’s the question of state dollars going to a building covered, in part, by insurance and donations.
Not everyone supports the idea.
“I don’t think he should be giving state dollars too when those dollars can be going to somewhere else,†said Chicago resident Willie Braboy. “When they get money from here, there and everywhere, and they can build that church up with them other funds, he could be giving them to another cause.â€
The church is vitally important to its neighborhood and is believed to be the birthplace of gospel music, so I, for one, can see the need for state help. Others disagree.
I can also understand that some people feel this is just more grandstanding on the part of a politician perpetually running for re-election.
Governor Rod Blagojevich came to the St. John Missionary Baptist Church Monday night to score points with a huge audience of African-American churchgoers.
Maybe, but, like I said, I think it’s a worthy cause.
What kinda bothers me is some of the coverage of the governor’s pledge. Last night at least one Chicago TV report (no link available at the moment) made it sound as if the governor was pledging his own money to the rebuilding effort.
And this headline on WBBM Radio’s website is particularly egregious:
Governor Donates $1 Million to Rebuild Historic Church
Um, no.
First, it’s not his money. And second, he wants to help rebuild the school and administration building, not the church.
UPDATE: A couple of good points were just made in comments.
What about all of those Illinois First building projects, the legitimate ones such as fire stations and community centers, mostly downstate that are still waiting on the funds Blago has frozen for the past three years?
The church will have numerous donors to help in their rebuilding efforts - and I would hope the roofers who started the fire had some type of bond or insurance that would be liable for the damages.
UPDATE 2: And, despite what Zorn is writing, former state budget director Steve Schnorf makes a very good point in comments.
State government has been making grants and awards to the non-church parts of religious groups forever; textbook grants to church schools, transportation funds for church schools, construction grants to religious-operated schools, etc.

Question of the day
Tuesday, Jan 10, 2006 - Posted by Rich Miller
What do you think of Ron Gidwitz’s pledge?
Republican governor hopeful Ron Gidwitz pledged on Monday not to raise or accept campaign money during his first two years in office, the latest volley in a campaign battle already driven by criticism of Democratic Gov. Rod Blagojevich’s prolific fundraising operation.
“Illinois is overrun with deals and dealmakers at odds with the public’s best interests because the ‘favor economy’ flourishes in Illinois like nowhere else,” Gidwitz said at a news conference. […]
Gidwitz also said Monday that he would not accept campaign contributions from state contractors or employees.
Underwhelming? A positive step? Makes no difference? Let’s hear it.

An expensive fly-around
Tuesday, Jan 10, 2006 - Posted by Rich Miller
Governor Blagojevich visits several downstate communities today to campaign for re-election promote his $3 billion borrowing plan.
It’s going to be a fairly expensive trip.
The excursion kicks off in Rockford (not coincidentally, the home of the guv’s just announced nominee to chair the Illinois Commerce Commission).
Gov. Rod Blagojevich today will visit EIGERlab, Rockford’s high-technology manufacturing center at 605 Fulton Ave., to announce a long-awaited $1.6 million grant. […]
The governor had proposed the $1.6 million grant more than two years ago as a component of a capital construction plan — the very plan he wants to see approved — but had not released the cash because lawmakers refused to approve his capital plan.
Blagojevich spokesman Andrew Ross said the $1.6 million grant would come from the state’s Build Illinois Bond Fund, which on Monday contained $50.7 million. It’s not clear why Blagojevich didn’t previously release the EIGERlab grant, as long as he had the cash on hand, rather than make it contingent on approval of a capital program.
Then moves to Moline.
Senator Mike Jacobs says the Governor has promised $2.4 million to jumpstart a plan to turn 20 acres along Moline’s riverfront into an expanded Western Illinois University campus.
Sen. Jacobs (D-East Moline) said Monday he received word of the money from Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich’s office Sunday night. […]
Still, do the math. The project is estimated at about 57 million. Jacobs says there are a couple of different funding objects being explored, including more from the state from a capital building fund under debate.
Then he travels to East Peoria:
Gov. Rod R. Blagojevich today announced the awarding of a $500,000 workforce training grant to Caterpillar Inc. as a part of his pro-active, comprehensive economic development strategy designed to spur economic growth and create jobs across the North Central region and throughout Illinois.
And finally to Macomb.
Money to continue operating entrepreneurship centers in western Illinois was announced Monday by Gov. Rod Blagojevich.
The Western Illinois Entrepreneurship Center Network was awarded $500,000 that includes grants to new and existing businesses. The money will help run the centers in Macomb, Quincy and Galesburg for the next year.
Extrapolating from Sen. Jacobs’ comments, it looks like they cobbled together the cash for this trip at the last minute.

Edgar mentioned at trial
Tuesday, Jan 10, 2006 - Posted by Rich Miller
As this item shows, George Ryan didn’t invent corruption at the secretary of state’s office, but he did perfect it.
A one-time state mail clerk testified Monday in the corruption trial against former Gov. George Ryan that state employees had to give cash to campaigns and do political work in their spare time.
And CBS 2 Political Editor Mike Flannery reports that longtime state government worker Lori Withers testified that it wasn’t just Ryan who expected this.
Withers testified that as a $19,000-a-year mail clerk, she was forced by aides to then Secretary of State Jim Edgar to buy fundraising tickets.
“I told (Edgar’s deputy) that I couldn’t afford to buy a ticket. He told me I HAD to buy it. I borrowed the money,” Witners said.
Withers testified further that once Ryan became her boss, she continued to buy tickets, and also made campaign calls and did door-to-door precinct working.
Curiously enough, Copley’s story makes no mention of Edgar.

FOID card snafu
Tuesday, Jan 10, 2006 - Posted by Rich Miller
This story appeared on Saturday.
An untold number of Illinois gun owners may be unwittingly breaking state law because of a paperwork backlog at the Illinois State Police. State officials acknowledged Friday that a rush of applications and a decline in staffing has resulted in a significant delay in processing Firearm Owner Identification cards.
That means any gun owner whose new card or renewed card hasn’t yet arrived in the mail is committing a felony.
“They are technically in violation at that point,†agreed state police spokesman Lincoln Hampton.
The reason? Contract workers that handled the paperwork were laid off.
Yesterday, the Blagojevich administration announced that temporary workers would be hired to handle the processing and permanent workers would eventually replace them.
The state got rid of a bunch of contract workers last year and we were all assured that state services would not be hurt. I’m not sure yet if this is connected, but, in the meantime, the Illinois State Rifle Association is not amused.

Box to head ICC
Monday, Jan 9, 2006 - Posted by Rich Miller
As I told Capitol Fax subscribers weeks ago, the governor has named former Rockford mayor Charles Box to chair the Illinois Commerce Commission. From a press release:
Governor Rod R. Blagojevich today appointed former Rockford Mayor Charles E. Box as chair of the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC), the state body responsible for regulating utilities and ensuring the citizens of Illinois safe, efficient, reliable, and uninterrupted utility services at reasonable prices.
“Working families, senior citizens and individuals living on fixed incomes across Illinois are feeling the pressure from increasing energy costs. It’s critical that we have an Illinois Commerce Commission committed to making sure consumers are getting reliable service at fair, affordable and reasonable rates,†said Gov. Blagojevich. “Charles Box is a veteran public servant who has shown throughout his distinguished career that he can be fair-minded and make decisions in the best interest of the public.â€

Illini Pundit says goodbye
Monday, Jan 9, 2006 - Posted by Rich Miller
The blog will live on, but the blogger is leaving.
Due to my personal involvement this year on behalf of a number of active candidates for office - none of whom know that I am IlliniPundit - my contributions to this site must cease. While my activities here have always been independent of any candidate or campaign, I’m certain that if I were to continue, even without their knowledge, at some point they would be held responsible for the personal opinions I’ve written here.
I had fully intended to shut down this site completely, but a group of local Republican and/or conservative activists have asked for the opportunity to take over the site. To that end, these are the new authors of IlliniPundit.com:
* Jason Barickman: Chairman of the Champaign County Young Republicans
* Linda Bauer: Vice Chairman of the Champaign County Republican Party
* Joan Dykstra: Savoy Village Board Member
* John Farney: Candidate for Champaign County Board
* Deborah Frank Feinen: Champaign County Board Member
* Gordy Hulten: Champaign County Young Republican
* Greg Meves: President of the University of Illinois College Republicans
* Mark Randall: Candidate for Champaign County Board
* Red State Wannabe: IP.com commenter
* Mark Shelden: Champaign County Clerk
* Scott Tapley: Champaign County Board Member
IP told me about his plans last month and I tried to talk him out of it, but he was pretty intent on leaving.
Illini Pundit was one of my favorite Illinois bloggers. I’m bummed.

Question of the day
Monday, Jan 9, 2006 - Posted by Rich Miller
As this State Journal-Register editorial noted yesterday, the Protect Marriage Illinois group is attempting to gather half a million signatures to put an advisory referendum on the ballot this November.
The referendum asks this question:
“Shall the Illinois General Assembly submit an amendment to Article IX of the Illinois State Constitution to the voters of the State of Illinois at large at the next General Election stating as follows:
‘To secure and preserve the benefits of marriage for our society and for future generations of children, a marriage between a man and a woman is the only legal union that shall be valid or recognized in this State’?â€
The campaign has been endorsed by the Catholic Bishops of Illinois.
You can read more background info in this Post-Dispatch story.
The question is, do you think they’ll succeed in getting this question onto the November ballot? Can it pass? Also, do you think it will have a significant impact on the fall campaign?

Kabuki dance
Monday, Jan 9, 2006 - Posted by Rich Miller
This quote from today’s Rockford Register-Star comes pretty close to what I wrote in the Capitol Fax last week about the upcoming debate over Gov. Blagojevich’s $3 billion road, bridge and school bonding plan.
“For the Republicans . . . it’s a double-edged sword,” said Chris Mooney, political scientist at the University of Illinois at Springfield: “Their constituents want roads, they want bridges, but on the other hand, to give this to the governor in an election year, they’ll be handing him a real gift - especially downstate, where his (polling) numbers are weak.”
That factor means the Republicans “may have some reason to sit on it,” Mooney said. But he noted that even that strategy wouldn’t necessarily be all bad for Blagojevich: “He could go around (the campaign trail) and say, ‘Look what these Republicans did, they killed off all these road and bridge projects.’”
The State Journal-Register has Senate GOP Leader Watson turning thumbs down. [emphasis added]
Senate Republican Leader Frank Watson, R-Greenville, said Republicans aren’t convinced the state can afford a new bonding program. He also said Republicans don’t trust Blagojevich to give them their districts their fair share of the construction money. For now, Watson said, the chances of a bond program “are zero.”
“I’ve not been called or solicited by anyone in the governor’s office,” Watson said. “Every other governor, when he needs to have a program like this, takes the lead.”
There’s also what could be the quote of the month buried in the story.
However, deputy governor Bradley Tusk said the administration believes Senate Republicans “are more amenable than they were last (year).”
“You hope once in a while people think of things other than elections,” Tusk said.
Oh, brother.

DuPage party-switchers
Monday, Jan 9, 2006 - Posted by Rich Miller
The map below shows party-switching households in DuPage County that went from being Republican to casting at least one Democratic primary ballot in the spring of 2004. Each green dot represents one of those households. Click on the image for a much better view.

There are about 25,000 of those households, according to political consultant Glenn Hodas, who put the map together not long ago.
Hodas, who has a ton of fascinating maps at his website, thinks the reason for the switch, at least partially, was all the campaigning that Barack Obama did in DuPage before the primary.
Feel free to add your own analysis below.
Glenn has done such a good job gathering numbers that the folks who publish the Almanac of Illinois Politics bought much of their data from him for the 2006 edition, rather than spend the money to do it themselves. The edition is at the presses now, by the way, and should be out in a month or so.

Playing the “corruption card”
Monday, Jan 9, 2006 - Posted by Rich Miller
From Bernie Schoenburg’s column:
The campaign manager for gubernatorial candidate EDWIN EISENDRATH won’t be shy about playing the corruption card in the Democratic primary race against Gov. ROD BLAGOJEVICH.
BRANDON HURLBUT, a lawyer in Washington, D.C., has signed on to run the primary campaign of Eisendrath, a former Chicago alderman who is now vice president of academic affairs at Kendall College in Chicago.
Hurlbut, 30, was born in Melrose Park and got a political science degree from the University of Illinois at Champaign in 1997. He then was a full-time staffer on the gubernatorial campaign of then-U.S. Rep. GLENN POSHARD, who lost a close race to Republican GEORGE RYAN in 1998. Poshard was recently named president of Southern Illinois University.
“I saw up close and personal the tragedy of (the) Poshard race, which is that we were right about George Ryan’s corruption, but the indictments came down after Election Day,” Hurlbut said. “It was too late.
“Democrats should remember that experience, because if we trust the governor and wait until the current investigations are completed, we could have another George Ryan disaster, and that could mean more trials and embarrassments for Illinois. And if something comes out after March, we will lose in November again, after we fought 30 years to get the seat back.”
Bernie also noted that the Eisendrath campaign has hired Sean Smith of Smith Strategies as its political consultant. There’s not much on his website, but here’s an interesting nugget:
Sean has pioneered a communications technique known as “impression management.†Based on the premise that it is the low-information, episodic voter that swings elections—and that those voters only make broad impressions of candidates—Sean has developed an innovated [sic] approach to political communications. He has successfully applied these principles to issue campaigns and general communications campaigns.
Meanwhile Carol Marin’s column took a look at the campaign over the weekend. Worth a look. A couple of quotes, the first from Larry Suffredin:
“[Blagojevich] communicates too much through grand event. You wouldn’t have a fireside chat with him. You’d expect him to address you in Rockefeller Chapel.”
And then one from Sen. John Cullerton:
“There will be protest votes against Rod in the Democratic primary for [former Ald.] Edwin Eisendrath,” predicts state Sen. John Cullerton (D-Chicago). “Eisendrath will get a surprisingly higher number of votes than people expect.”
Many of those votes may come from Downstate, where there is great disaffection with Blagojevich’s decision to live in Chicago. “Edwin, if he spends money, stands in front of the governor’s mansion with his pretty wife from Champaign . . . and says if you elect me governor, I’m gonna move in here” would, according to Cullerton, send a powerful message.

Question of the day
Friday, Jan 6, 2006 - Posted by Rich Miller
Today’s State Journal-Register editorial endorsed “a short list of obvious reforms” for Congress.
Ban the 200-plus ex-congressmen now working as lobbyists from walking freely onto the House floor during sessions.
Stop allowing lawmakers to use “earmarks” to provide millions to favored companies and organizations without the usual public scrutiny.
Require the deliberations of all conference committees - in which differences between House and Senate bills are reconciled and earmarks are smuggled into legislation - to be public.
Mandate that the language of all bills be posted on the Internet at least 24 hours before they are voted on, except when a supermajority of the House or Senate agrees otherwise.
I know I usually concentrate on Illinois politics, but the never-ending DC scandals could wind up impacting some Illinois races.
What do you think of the SJ-R’s list, and what, if anything, would you add? Also, do you think any reforms will really work?

Phone follow-up
Friday, Jan 6, 2006 - Posted by Rich Miller
The Sun-Times has a follow-up today to yesterday’s piece about the ease of obtaining cell phone calling records.
The Illinois governor and attorney general moved Thursday to end the sale of telephone records without customers’ knowledge, a practice that worries privacy experts and law enforcement agencies.
The Chicago Sun-Times reported Thursday that the Chicago Police Department and FBI are concerned about the potential for criminals to track officers’ cell phone calls through Web services. Attorney General Lisa Madigan responded by issuing subpoenas to one Internet service, locatecell.com, highlighted in the newspaper’s story.
“We will be asking locatecell.com how it obtains the telephone detail information it sells and whether it is through legal means,” said Madigan’s spokeswoman, Melissa Merz.
On another front, Gov. Blagojevich announced he will seek legislation this spring making it illegal for brokers to sell telephone account records and other personal information.
The legislation is supported by Senate President Emil Jones (who is doing very well after his angioplasty, I’m told). I hope that bill moves fast.

Mercurical
Friday, Jan 6, 2006 - Posted by Rich Miller
Several stories appeared today about the Governor’s plan to force coal-fired power plants to reduce mercury emissions by 90 percent. This is one example.
Lawmakers and industry officials made it clear Thursday that Gov. Blagojevich’s proposal to drastically reduce mercury emissions from coal-fired power plants is hardly a done deal.
Concerns about the cost and feasibility of Blagojevich’s plan — as well as the need for it — were some issues surfacing in the wake of the governor’s unveiling Thursday of tough new controls on mercury, a neurotoxin released into the air that settles in bodies of water, contaminating fish and the people who eat them.
I haven’t had a chance to follow up on it yet, but a commenter pointed out this potentially significant story yesterday. [emphasis added]
…two Illinois state government scientists claim that most of the mercury found in the environment is natural, not of anthropogenic origin. This finding flies directly in the face of controversial federal regulations designed to reduce environmental mercury by cutting power plant emissions.
The paper by Derek Winstanley and Edward Krug, titled “Comparison of mercury in atmospheric deposition and in Illinois and USA soils,” appears in the journal Hydrology and Earth System Science. Winstanley and Krug are with the Illinois State Water Survey, which Winstanley heads. He is also a former director of the National Acid Precipitation Assessment Program, so is no stranger to controversial coal-fired emissions issues.
The background for the study is a long standing problem with the theory that coal-fired power plant emissions are the leading cause of mercury in fish, namely that there is no correlation between power plant locations and high mercury levels. To overcome this lack of evidence the proponents of the theory, including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, have claimed that mercury circulates nationally and globally via a process of general atmospheric deposition.
Winstanley and Krug have tested this theory by comparing the estimated anthropogenic emission levels against newly-measured levels of mercury in Illinois, U.S., and world soils. The result, they say, is that human emissions cannot possibly explain the observed amounts of mercury. They conclude that there must exist a natural global mercury flux that is significantly larger than human emissions. Much of it may be water borne, not airborne. If so, then reducing the estimated 50 tons of mercury emitted by U.S. coal fired power plants might have little or no effect on environmental mercury levels.
As Winstanley and Krug put it, “It has been reported that most mercury (Hg) in USA soils is from atmospheric Hg deposition, mostly from anthropogenic sources. This paper compares the rates of atmospheric Hg deposition to amounts of Hg in Illinois and USA soils. The amounts of Hg in these soils are too great to be attributed mainly to anthropogenic Hg deposition.” Their conclusion is succinct — “The hypothesis that most Hg in Illinois and USA soils is of anthropogenic origin is rejected.”
The Illinois State Water Survey, according to its website, is “a division of the Office of Scientific Research and Analysis of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources and an affiliated agency of the University of Illinois at Champaign/Urbana, [and] is the primary agency in Illinois concerned with water and atmospheric resources.”
UPDATE: There’s a good rebuttal to the above article in comments by Truthful James.

Broder calls Illinois guv race “crucial”
Friday, Jan 6, 2006 - Posted by Rich Miller
Washington Post columnist David Broder wrote a column this week about six governor’s races to watch. Illinois was one of them.
But, at the risk of being contrarian, let me suggest that the most significant results of 2006 will not involve the Senate or House but instead will be found in six Midwest governors’ races.
The campaigns in Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and Wisconsin will tell us more about the direction of the country and the shape of the 2008 presidential battleground than any of the battles for Capitol Hill — where incumbency advantages in both money and gerrymandering are likely to skew the results.
Governors are closer to their constituents than most senators or representatives, and they exert more influence on presidential politics than their federal counterparts.
Republicans are likely to consolidate their current strength among governors across the South from Florida through Texas. Democrats are poised to solidify their grip on the state capitols in the Northeast, with strong candidates available to challenge in New York and Massachusetts, where Republican incumbents are retiring.
But the Midwest is a real battleground, with one open seat in each party and three Democrats and a Republican facing tough reelection battles.
And this is what he wrote about Illinois.
Democratic Gov. Rod Blagojevich has accumulated a huge campaign war chest but also a slew of investigations as he bids for a second term. The weakened Republican establishment has rallied behind state Treasurer Judy Baar Topinka, but she has opposition from state Sen. Bill Brady, securities executive Jim Oberweis and Ron Gidwitz, a businessman-philanthropist.
