Question of the day

Thursday, Mar 5, 2009 - Posted by Rich Miller

* The setup

It’s virtually certain that a Hannig will continue to represent the 98th House District in the Illinois General Assembly.

Illinois Secretary of Transportation Gary Hannig of Litchfield started his new job this week after being in the House since 1979. Democratic county chairmen in Montgomery and Christian counties both say they favor Hannig’s wife, Elizabeth “Betsy” Hannig, for the job.

* The Question: Should the General Assembly pass a bill to forbid relatives of the former incumbent from being appointed to any vacant legislative seat? Explain fully, and try to keep in mind that some capable people have been appointed that way.

Also, I’m not asking whether a special election should be held. I’m only asking about this limitation.

And don’t attack Mrs. Hannig, please. This isn’t about her, per se. It’s about the issue. Thanks.

Medical marijuana clears House committee

Thursday, Mar 5, 2009 - Posted by Rich Miller

* For the first time ever, a House committee has sent a medical marijuana bill to the floor

Representative Lou Lang says his bill would help people deal with cancer, AIDS and other diseases. The Skokie Democrat says patients would be allowed to own up to seven marijuana plants each.

LANG: The idea here is to let people let people have what they need to relieve their pain and the severe nausea from chemotherapy, but we don’t want people to have the ability to do the wrong thing with these marijuana plants.

The bill passed committee 4-3 yesterday.

* Synopsis

Creates the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act. Provides that when a person has been diagnosed by a physician as having a debilitating medical condition, the person and the person’s primary caregiver may be issued a registry identification card by the Department of Public Health that permits the person or the person’s primary caregiver to legally possess no more than 7 dried cannabis plants and 2 ounces of dried usable cannabis. Amends the Cannabis Control Act to make conforming changes. Provides that the provisions of the Act are severable. Provides that the Act is repealed 3 years after its effective date. Repeals the research provisions of the Cannabis Control Act. Effective immediately.

* The opposition

But Rep. Patricia Bellock, R-Hinsdale, said the bill raises serious questions. Will it be misused by people who don’t really have a medical need for marijuana? Would it open the door to outright legalization of pot use in Illinois?

“It is the No. 1 drug that introduces young people to other drugs,” said Bellock, who voted against the measure in the Human Services Committee.

I thought the number one “gateway drug” was alcohol.

More opposition

David Jocson, statewide drug enforcement coordinator with the Illinois State Police, opposed the bill because he said marijuana is not an FDA-approved medication and because allowing people using cannabis for medicinal purposes would make it easier for others to obtain.

* Lou

“This is a very controlled bill. It doesn’t allow anyone to have more than seven plants,” Lang said. “Second, we have to be able to trust the medical community.” He said there is little outcry when doctors prescribe massive amounts of morphine, Vicodin or codeine to alleviate pain.

“It’s only when you start talking about cannabis that people start talking about that, because they’re looking for an excuse to be against the bill,” he said.

* Context

Thirteen states already have medical marijuana laws that preclude a criminal conviction for use, according to the Marijuana Policy Project… Technically, Illinois authorized medical marijuana in 1978. But implementation was left to the Public Health Department and it never took action, so the law has been in limbo.

* The future

Similar legislation was approved by a state Senate committee last year, but the sponsor never found enough support to call it for a vote. That sponsor, John Cullerton, is now Senate president, so the latest proposal should have an influential supporter if it ever reaches the Senate.

* Irony

A Springfield man’s “medical marijuana club” was raided Wednesday night, less than 14 hours after he announced the club to the news media.

Springfield police raided a home in the 1100 block of North Third Street about 7 p.m. Wednesday and arrested Scott Carriere, 40, according to Deputy Chief Clay Dowis.

Carriere will be charged in connection with growing several marijuana plants inside the house, Dowis said, although police did not indicate how much was recovered.

Carriere’s e-mail to the news media…

“I have opened a medical marijuana club in Springfield. I just wanted you to know. It is currently being run out of my residence. The address is (he gave an address in the 1100 block of North Third Street). I am accepting customers and suppliers. Thank you.

“P.S. I have filed the paperwork at the courthouse under my name and address, the name of the business is Medical Marijuana Compassionate caregivers Club.”

Thoughts?

Special elections by mail?

Thursday, Mar 5, 2009 - Posted by Rich Miller

* I’m not sure what I think about this

Chicago and Cook County election officials will ask the state Legislature to allow them to conduct future special elections by mail to save money and increase voter participation.

Even if only 10 percent to 18 percent of the voters are going to turn out for an election, officials have to have enough ballots and staff for a 100 percent turnout.

That means the City of Chicago spent $1.75 million on Tuesday’s special election, or about $33 per vote. Cook County Clerk David Orr spent about $165,000 on Tuesday’s election, or about $30 per vote, he said.

Wow. That was a huge cost per vote.

* More

Under the proposal, already used in the states of Washington and Oregon, secured drop-off boxes are set up in each neighborhood if voters do not want to send in ballots by mail. The board would also have the option of keeping early voting centers open.

Such a system is feasible, but implementing it would be up to the Illinois General Assembly, rather than the state board, said Ken Menzel, an elections specialist with the Illinois State Board of Elections.

State Rep. Elaine, Nekritz, D-Des Plaines, chairman of the Illinois House Elections Committee, said she could not comment on the proposal before seeing it, but felt the committee would be willing to consider it.

“Anything that can save money and increase voter turnout is worth looking at,” Nekritz said.

What do you think of this idea?

Trib wants a revolution

Thursday, Mar 5, 2009 - Posted by Rich Miller

* The Tribune has proclaimed next year the “Revolution of 2010” in the wake of Mike Quigley’s primary victory this week…

What if Tuesday’s treacherous rebellion spreads?

Quigley won Tuesday’s primary with not a lot of money, no help from ward bosses and no endorsements from the public employee unions that have a chokehold on so many of Chicago’s Democratic politicians.

This was, though, the first chance voters have had to express themselves since Rod Blagojevich imploded and a bevy of his fellow Democrats—Sen. Dick Durbin, Gov. Pat Quinn, Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton—ran off a cliff together. Maybe it will occur to this crowd that, by blatantly reneging on their earlier support for a special election to fill Obama’s Senate seat, they tried to push around Illinois voters once too often. […]

The comedy du jour was hearing machine pols try to explain away Quigley’s win by noting that voter turnout in the special primary was light. Wait a minute: Those are the same pols who usually crow that light turnout helps their candidates—and disadvantages reformers such as Quigley who don’t have big ward organizations or labor armies.

Look, it was undeniably an impressive win and there’s a good argument to be made that voters rejected the Democratic organization, since about two-thirds of them cast their lot with candidates who weren’t directly affiliated with the Machine. But, let’s not get completely carried away with ourselves yet. This may very well spread, and it will definitely have an impact on short-term politics, but Quigley did score just 22 percent of the vote on Tuesday.

Also, if you’re gonna trumpet a coming revolution, perhaps you should first check state laws…

Committeemen Tom Tunney (44th), Tom Sharpe (46th) and Michele Smith (43rd), the three of you control the lion’s share of the weighted vote of committeemen. Together, you can install a reformer here. Patrick O’Connor (40th) and Ira Silverstein (50th), Democratic voters furious at party bosses will be watching how you and the other committeemen fill Quigley’s seat.

Um, here’s the pertinent state statute

[Oops. I stand corrected. The Trib is right. Sorry about that. And sorry about not getting to this sooner. Was away from the computer.]

I’m hearing that Randy Barnette, the 39th Ward Democratic committeeman who supported Pat O’Connor in the congressional race, is expressing early interest in the seat.

* Meanwhile, speaking of the county board

Meet Cook County Commissioner “Tweetie.” That’s the handle outspoken Republican Tony Peraica uses in posting his live play-by-play of County Board meetings on Twitter, the online micro-blog that’s all the rage.

Last month, Peraica started posting short messages — called “tweets” — during board meetings about everything from contract votes and political bickering to his opinions and wisecracks in 140 characters or less. […]

During Wednesday’s County Board meeting, Peraica posted 15 tweets, including updates on major votes, mild self-promotion and a jab at Commissioner Mike Quigley, who won the 5th Congressional District Democratic primary the night before. […]

County Board President Todd Stroger said Peraica should probably pay closer attention to what’s going on during meetings rather than “twittering his thumbs.”

“I think it’s strange,” Stroger said. “It doesn’t sound kosher. He probably shouldn’t be typing while we’re doing business. Maybe that’s why he can’t remember how he voted on things two weeks ago.”

* 3 Sun-Times staffers win national awards

* Top cop in contempt

A federal judge found Chicago Police Supt. Jody Weis in contempt of court Wednesday and set a Monday deadline for him to release the names of officers who have at least five citizen complaints filed against them since 2000.

Weis says handing over the thousands of names would “compromise officers’ performance, threaten safety, reduce morale and improperly impugn many officers’ otherwise well-deserved good reputations.”

* Jody Weis in Contempt of Court

* Mayor Richard Daley and wife flew aboard private jet to Singapore in 2006

Plane was provided by student loan charity with ties to mayor’s wife

* City hiring called corrupt in Chicago fraud trial

“The hiring and promotion process at City Hall was rigged — it was corrupt,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Steve Grimes said in the government’s opening statement.

* Hiring trial ties HDO work, city jobs

Al Sanchez, the city’s former Streets and Sanitation commissioner, lobbied top aides to Mayor Richard Daley to ensure that members of Sanchez’s political organization moved to the front of the line for city jobs, a former department official testified Wednesday.

Jack Drumgould, personnel director under Sanchez, testified at the first day of Sanchez’s fraud trial that Sanchez gave him names of Hispanic Democratic Organization members whom he wanted hired. Drumgould said he in turn took the names to the mayor’s Office of Intergovernmental Affairs. Other political groups and labor unions were clamoring for their share of the jobs pie, he said.

Qualifications and performance in interviews “were totally non-relevant,” Drumgould told jurors.

* Fast Eddie’s past ties to a crooked judge

Former Cook County Judge George J.W. Smith pleaded guilty and went to prison in 2002 while keeping his mouth shut about allegations he’d paid a certain unnamed political figure $30,000 to buy his seat on the bench.

Now the 63-year-old Smith wants his law license reinstated, and in the process, he’s disclosed an interesting piece of information you can read here first:

Around the time the judge went to prison, his wife Jolanta went on the payroll of Fast Eddie Vrdolyak, the man long suspected of being on the other end of that $30,000.

* Fast Eddie judge followed letter of the law

* Chicago archdiocese’s sex-abuse tab: $15.8 million in ‘08

The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago paid more than $15.8 million in legal settlements related to sexual abuse last year, amounting to $80.2 million in claims for the decade, according to the annual report.

* Chicago Archdiocese pays $35.5M in abuse claims

The Archdiocese of Chicago has paid nearly $35.5 million in claims to the victims of sexual abuse by priests since June 2007.

* Chicago Archdiocese paid $100M in sex abuse claims: Church report

Sex abuse claims have cost the Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago almost $100 million this decade, a church financial report shows.

* Chicago 6th on green-cities list

* Budget gap pits city against suburbs

The suburban bus side of Pace will be able to weather the storm this year, but a gap of about $24 million is projected for paratransit, a transport service for disabled people who cannot use fixed routes to reach their destinations mandated as part of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Pace Director Frank Mitchell, who represents Will County, said shortfalls in paratransit should not negatively affect bus operations in the suburbs. He noted that the majority of paratransit riders are from Chicago.

* Illinois tax cap yokes schools in Chicago’s southwest suburbs

With inflation near zero, state formula leaves districts scrambling to trim budgets

In 2008, the annual bump in the rate was an unprecedented 0.1 percent. That means most taxpayers can expect only slight increases in their 2009 tax bills, which are paid in 2010.

But it also means that many school districts and other government agencies will see only tiny increases in the property-tax revenues they will collect next year. And that has sent shock waves around the state, as school districts scramble to adjust their budgets and plan for cuts as early as next school year.

With tax referendum measures unlikely to succeed in the current recession, suburban districts are moving to eliminate everything from staff to band programs and sports teams as they try to cover teacher salaries and other costs that are going up by far greater than 0.1 percent.

* UIC to Close Clinic for Low-Income Latinas

The University of Illinois at Chicago says it’s closing a medical clinic geared for low-income women in a mostly Mexican neighborhood. But a community group is fighting to keep the facility open.

* Cook County assessor cuts 5 suburban offices

Five suburban assessor’s offices will close and the workers will be sent downtown because of budget cuts, Cook County Assessor James Houlihan said Wednesday.

Last month, the County Board approved a $2.9 billion compromise spending plan that imposed a 4 percent cut on most offices, including the assessor’s.

*CN settles suit with West Chicago

* Chicago Heights considers wind farm on old landfill

The city hopes it could make money from the wind farm by selling the energy produced to ComEd, hopefully generating $3 million to $4 million, Sabo said.

* Grants can help pay utility bills

Up to 10,000 Peoria County residents may have benefited from a state energy assistance program when its fiscal year ends this summer.

The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program provides residents with a one-time grant to help pay utility costs.

Administered by the Peoria Citizens Committee for Economic Opportunity, the aid program is funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Energy and the state of Illinois.

* Trustee Candidate’s Past Includes Bombing, Battery Convictions

* Dig out the wallet for a local stimulus

We should rethink that strategy, a group of local experts and residents told Daily Herald reporter Anna Marie Kukec this week. Instead, they advise us to spend wisely and spend locally.

* ‘Gentlemen’ scarf cozy dogs for good cause

* Thirty-five days without a Lt. Gov. Have you noticed?

Sliding Gov. Pat Quinn up the food chain illuminated one budget-saving option for state taxpayers: Eliminate the office of lieutenant governor.

Money? Savings of at at least $2.6 million.

Personnel? State government downsized by about30 employees.

Drawbacks? None.

* Pontiac mayor: Quinn will decide on prison soon

* Mayor expects decision on prison soon

Although the mayor of Pontiac didn’t get the meeting with Gov. Pat Quinn he was seeking, he learned a decision will be made soon on the future of Pontiac Correctional Center.

Mayor Scott McCoy was in Springfield on Wednesday seeking a meeting with Quinn in order to tell him Pontiac is being devastated by the threat of losing the prison and its 500-plus jobs.

* State expands holdings around Volo Bog

Illinois officials have purchased 32 acres in northwest Lake County that they say contain one the state’s natural wonders: a bog.

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources says it bought the land for nearly $1.1 million. The Illinois Conservation Foundation provided a private donation of $125,000 toward the cost.

* SJ-R: Cleaning up funeral fund mess a big job

BUT FOR SOME 49,000 buyers of pre-need contracts through a trust fund administered by the Illinois Funeral Directors Association, the purchase of pre-paid funeral services has brought nothing but headaches and angst. In what is described in a lawsuit as a massive Ponzi scheme, the IFDA is alleged to have made more than $190 million in questionable investments, putting many funeral homes at huge financial risk and leaving thousands of individuals wondering whether their investments will cover funeral expenses for themselves and their loved ones.

* Want a tollway sign?

What does it take to get an informational sign posted on the Illinois tollway? The agency listed guidelines on its Web site Wednesday that define criteria for communities or businesses

* Metzger will keep state board post

Mark Metzger may no longer be president of the Indian Prairie Unit District 204 school board, but he will keep the top spot at the Illinois Association of School Boards.

* Unofficial St. Patrick’s Day at University of Illinois

School is cracking down on booze in class. (This is not a new tend…it will still be a blast)

* IDOT says no stimulus deadlines missed

* Officials have year to set up projects

Then IDOT chief of transit and metro program planning Jim Stack, who had calls in to Springfield, came back with different marching orders: There is up to a year to set up stimulus projects. And IDOT will put up the money at first, as it does for other local road and highway projects included in an IDOT bid letting.

“You have a year,” Stack said. “It’s in the law.”

That is still less time than it seems. To safely meet the deadline, Therkildsen told the group, it should have projects to IDOT by the end of October for the Jan. 15 letting. If the committee wants to be more conservative, projects need to be ready and in IDOT’s hands in early September for the November letting.

* Stimulus money to pave Southland

A list released by the Illinois Department of Transportation this week shows the state is asking the federal government to fund more than $100 million worth of road work in the Southland under the recently passed $787 billion stimulus bill.

Some of the biggest area projects on the list are resurfacing 159th Street between Interstate 355 and LaGrange Road, reconstructing 159th Street from Interstate 294 to Halsted Street, repairing a series of overpasses on Interstate 57 between 103rd Street and 167th Street and resurfacing Interstate 94 from Martin Luther King Drive to 159th Street.

* Dow closes up 149 as stocks rally

On Wall Street today, Caterpillar’s stock prices went up 13 percent today…the most in four months…

* GM auditors raise the specter of Chapter 11

* Stocks set to drop on China letdown, GM news

Stocks are set to resume their plunge Thursday, as China deflated investors’ hope that the country will boost spending and worries re-emerged about General Motors Corp. Ahead of the market’s opening, Dow Jones industrial average futures dropped 110, or 1.61 percent, to 6,720.

Standard & Poor’s 500 index futures lost 10.70, or 1.51 percent, to 697.80, and Nasdaq 100 index futures fell 8.50, or 0.77 percent, to 1,092.50.

* Retailers report sales declines in February

* Expect Illinois’ treasurer to try for Senate seat

He could have some powerful help, too:

“The president is mentor to me, a close friend who inspired me to run for office,” he said. “We haven’t had a conversation about what he’s going to do, but I do think it’s important for Illinois to have a senator who brings integrity back to the process, who has a relationship with the administration, who understands the whole state and who will effectively lead so we can talk about issues like the economy, getting people back to work.”

He also is on friendly terms with Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., with whom he traveled recently to Cyprus to meet with diplomats in an attempt to cool the tension between Turks and Greeks that he said “is about two press releases away from a war between Greece and Turkey.”

* Watch Out, Payday Lenders

Abusive interest rates of as much as 650 percent charged for “payday loans” would be outlawed by a just-introduced bill capping annual interest rates for consumer credit at 36 percent.

Sponsored by Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Illinois), the Protecting Consumers from Unreasonable Credit Rates Act (S. 500), would impose a federal usury cap of 36 percent Annual Percentage Rate (APR) on all consumer credit transactions. Several states have already enacted similar and even more restrictive interest caps. Durbin’s bill would not affect state laws that impose interest rate caps lower than 36 percent. A 36 percent interest cap law is already in place for U.S. military personnel and their families.

* Lawmakers Want to Expand FDA Funding

Senate Assistant Majority Leader Richard Durbin, D-Ill., says it’s clear that the FDA simply can’t keep up with the challenge. The challenge is the fact that FDA is charged with protecting nearly 80% of our food supply. Senator Judd Gregg, R-N.H., says there is momentum for this and that there is no significant opposition to this bill.
