A bit of history
Tuesday, Mar 5, 2013 - Posted by Rich Miller
* From Kankakee Daily Journal columnist Phil Angelo…
Whatever happens next, Kankakee County will be represented in Congress, sometime later this spring, by an African-American.
That has never happened in the 160-year history of the county.
* Not only that, but City of Kankakee Democrats nominated Jarman Myron Porter as their mayoral candidate. Porter is black - another first. [Actually, a second, as I was just informed in comments.]
* I was born in Kankakee, as were most members of my dad’s family. Here’s a pic of my dad and me in my grandma’s front yard on Tanner Avenue, near the old Roeper factory, where my dad and at least one uncle worked…
Roeper’s closed in the 80s and moved to Florida, devastating Kankakee. It was a rough time for everybody back then - 19 percent unemployment in a town that had always been bursting with jobs.
* Back in the 60s, the local bank’s big electronic sign that advertised their interest rates and local charity events used “KKK” as shorthand for Kankakee. K3 wasn’t known as the most liberal town for race relations, to put it mildly.
White flight plagued the city of Kankakee for decades. Whites flooded into nearby bedroom communities in Kankakee County (or out of state when the jobs dried up in the early 1980s) when the schools were desegregated, and I heard lots of stories about street fights and protests during those times.
I don’t think I have a single relative who still lives in the city, but several live in the county.
* Anyway, I don’t know the real purpose of this except to say that I find Angelo’s column and Porter’s nomination fascinating, considering the history. And maybe we can convince my dad to tell a few stories in comments.
Also, I should stress here that I am not at all ashamed to be from Kankakee. Yeah, it had its problems, but what town didn’t? The challenge has always been overcoming those problems, and that’s where Kankakee hasn’t really measured up. We’ll see what the future holds.

* The governor’s budget office will be briefing reporters tonight at 6 about tomorrow’s budget address. Keep a close eye on the live session coverage post for updates and delayed video.
In the meantime, the House is scheduled to debate some gun control bills this afternoon, so you should watch that live session coverage post for updates on that - and many other things - as well.

Question of the day
Tuesday, Mar 5, 2013 - Posted by Rich Miller
* Sen. Andy Manar (D-Bunker Hill) has proposed a bill to help Springfield schools recover some of the lost property taxes from all the state buildings. The SJ-R likes it…
Manar’s bill would award a “tax-equivalent grant” to Springfield schools because the Capitol is here. The grant would equal 0.5 percent of the equalized assessed value of all the land owned by the state in the district.
Manar’s legislation would calculate the value of those buildings not by a traditional appraisal, but by multiplying the average value per taxable acre of the district by the total number of acres owned by the state.
“The bill would simply account for some of the revenue loss on a local level for the Springfield public school system in the general state aid formula,” Manar told reporters on Monday.
It’s not unprecedented, either. In Will County, the Stateville Correctional Center occupies a large amount of property, and the State Board of Education awards a similar grant to the school district there, Manar said. […]
If Manar’s legislation passes, it won’t be a windfall for Springfield schools, he said. Although Manar did not have a firm estimate, the grant would be under $1 million.
The bill is here.
* The Question: Should this bill be approved? Explain your answer in comments, please.

* State Rep. Rita Mayfield (D-Waukegan) held a town hall meeting yesterday at the behest of gay marriage proponents. Lots of protesters showed up…
Emotions ran high during a townhall meeting Monday on a same-sex marriage bill now before the Illinois House.
Sponsored by state Rep. Rita Mayfield, D-Waukegan, the meeting drew an estimated crowd of 150 people who crammed into a small room for a Q-and-A at the North Chicago Public Library. Many of those present arrived aboard a church bus that declared in big painted letters on its side: “Say no to same-sex marriage.”
* By looking at the coverage, it appears that Mayfield tried to maintain an evenhanded approach yesterday. She also announced this…
Mayfield said she received more than 200 calls opposing the measure after an ad, purchased by Illinois Unites for Marriage, and urging Mayfield to vote yes on SB10, appeared March 1 in the Lake County News-Sun. Mayfield said that a survey of her constituents, taken last spring, showed 70 percent opposed to legalizing same-sex unions. She said she will vote with the majority opinion in her district.
“I made a pledge that I would always listen to constituents,” Mayfield said. “Yes, I am the representative of the 60th District, but I believe in the will of the people. It’s not about what Rita wants. It’s about what the district wants.”
There’s no sin in voting one’s district, even though legislators are “state” lawmakers. But basing important votes solely on district calls and legislative surveys is probably not a great idea. If she wants to know what’s really going on, she’ll hire a pollster.
*** UPDATE *** A poll of 401 registered voters was actually taken Feb. 21-24 of the district by Fako & Associates for Illinois Unites for Marriage, a proponent of legalized gay marriage. From the pollster…
Among all voters, 41% support legalizing same-sex marriage while 43% oppose it. The opposition is centered in Republicans (77% Oppose).
A majority (54%) of Democrats in the 60th District support legalizing same-sex marriage, while 29% of Democrats oppose the proposed law. Democratic women (57% Support, 26% Oppose) are solidly in favor of the proposal, while Democratic men (49% Support, 36% Oppose) lean strongly in favor of it. Democrats under age 50 (60% Support) and those age fifty and older (52% Support) are in favor of the proposed law.
Other sub-groups in favor of the law include women (45% Support, 37% Oppose), voters under age fifty (49% Support, 37% Oppose), particularly women under fifty (53% Support), Independents (49% Support, 35% Oppose), liberals (69% Support), moderate women (45% Support, 33% Oppose), and Hispanics (46% Support, 33% Oppose). All minorities are initially divided (40% Support, 42% Oppose), as are white voters (43% Support / Oppose).
[ *** End Of Update *** ]
* Meanwhile…
Four months after ranking gay marriage as his No. 3 legislative priority in Springfield, Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Monday turned up the heat on state lawmakers in an effort to put the bill over the top in the Illinois House.
In an email to the vast network of supporters he created during the mayoral campaign, Emanuel created a vehicle for gay marriage proponents to pressure their state representatives with the click of a mouse.
Emanuel is asking people to click here.
* And the Illinois Family Institute is asking its supporters to click here and oppose gay marriage. They’re also asking supporters to request that their churches share this flier with their congregations.

* From RollCall…
Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Steve Israel named 26 of his colleagues to the Frontline program, a committee program designed to protect their most vulnerable incumbents.
“We call this program Frontline for a reason – these Members are on the vanguard of protecting and expanding the middle class,” Israel said in a written statement released Tuesday morning.
“While the 2014 campaign will be dominated by a strong offense taking on the Tea Party Republican Congress, our success begins with our Members,” added Israel, a Democrat from New York. “These battle-tested men and women have proven time and again that they can win because no one better reflects the values of their districts.”
Rep. Tim Walz, D-Minn. will spearhead the program as its chairman. He’s a Frontline alumni as recently as the 2012 cycle.
* The Illinois list…
Rep. Cheri Bustos, Illinois’ 17th District
Rep. Bill Enyart, Illinois’ 12th District
Rep. Brad Schneider, Illinois’ 10th District
* The NRCC sent out a response for all the Illinoisans. Here’s the e-mail release about Enyart…
: “Nancy Pelosi isn’t being shy about Bill Enyart’s dismal chance at re-election in 2014. Her early indication that Enyart has an uphill battle is a very telling sign that House Democrats are expecting a disappointing election cycle.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Katie Prill
The NRCC is also running online ads to try and drive this point home.
* From the DCCC…
“Bill Enyart, Cheri Bustos and Brad Schneider were elected in 2012 because they are committed to fighting for the middle class and ending the dysfunction and extremism in Washington. They are focused on getting results for the people of the Illinois and we will partner with them to make sure they are re-elected.”
Blah, blah, blah.
Sheesh, man. Do these guys ever step out of DC-speak?
Privately, the Dems say that this list only means that the incumbents will likely be targeted by the Republicans, the first reelection is always the toughest and point out that the GOP has a similar “Patriot” program.
* But if 2014 is at all like 2010, Obama’s first midterm, then the next off-year election will probably be challenging for these freshman Dems. Here are the Bill Brady vs. Pat Quinn 2010 results by district…
* 17th (Bustos) 51-39
* 12th (Enyart) 50-40
* 10th (Schneider) 45-46

* Eric Zorn is not impressed with a proposed ban on mobile phone calls while driving without using a handsfree device. As Zorn points out, the data shows that any calling while driving is dangerous, hands-free or not…
The available research indicates that cell phone use while driving, whether it is a hands-free or hand-held device, degrades a driver’s performance. The driver is more likely to miss key visual and audio cues needed to avoid a crash. Hand-held devices may be slightly worse, but hands-free devices are not risk-free…..National Highway Traffic Safety Association
Even if you keep your eyes on the road and hands on the wheel, phone conversation results in a fourfold increase in crash risk and a level of impairment comparable to drunk driving. This leads researchers to conclude that the distraction of phones stems not from holding the device with one hand, but from having a conversation with someone not present in the car….Slate
A study of Australian drivers found that those using cellphones were four times as likely to be involved in a serious crash regardless of whether they used hands-free devices like earpieces or speaker phones that have been perceived as making talking while driving safer….(It is the first study) to conclude definitively outside of a laboratory setting that holding a phone to the ear or talking through a hands-free device pose the same risks….New York Times

Rauner announces “exploratory committee”
Tuesday, Mar 5, 2013 - Posted by Rich Miller
* From a press release…
Today, Illinois business and civic leader Bruce Rauner officially announced that he is actively considering a run for Governor in 2014. Rauner, a Republican, filed papers with the Illinois State Board of Elections creating an exploratory campaign committee that will allow him to begin fully exploring a candidacy.
Rauner’s initial effort will not be a formal or traditional campaign. After spending several months talking with local and national leaders in business, education reform, and politics, and crisscrossing the state attending Lincoln Day Dinners and other events, Rauner is now entering a more intense period of consideration of a potential candidacy. For the next 60 days, Rauner will significantly increase his events and meetings, while looking to make a final determination on a candidacy well in advance of the March, 2014 primary election.
Rauner commented: “I was born and raised in Illinois. I’ve raised my family and grown businesses here. And I love our state. That’s why it’s so heartbreaking to see the mess we’re in. Near the bottom in the nation in unemployment and tax rates. Worst in the country in debt and credit ratings. Rampant corruption in government. Failing schools and violent crime that destroy the future of too many of our children. We need major changes in the way we tax and spend, the way we treat businesses and workers, the way we deal with our state budget and pensions, and the way we run our schools. The political class in Springfield are either unwilling to, or incapable of, making the kind of changes we need. That’s why I’m considering running for Governor.”
Rauner continued: “I have a few ideas that I’m very passionate about, but I don’t have all the answers. I want to hear what’s on Illinoisans’ minds. For the next sixty days I’m going to do something folks in Springfield don’t do – listen. I want to listen to how our citizens think we should tackle our state’s problems. That’s the first step in reclaiming our state – engaging our people, listening to ideas, and hearing about things I don’t know. In the process, I hope to figure out whether our people might be interested in a candidate for Governor who is a self-made entrepreneur rather than a politician, who has a passion for education, and a track record of getting results in business and the economy.”
* Rauner also provided a couple of statements from exploratory committee members, including this one…
Exploratory Committee Member Jack Roeser, from Carpentersville, Republican Party leader, said, “Politicians come and go without making much of a change to the status quo. Illinois needs a major economic transformation, and that’s what we’d get with Bruce Rauner. He has the backbone to stand up to the status quo powerbrokers in Springfield. Rauner doesn’t need the job, and can’t be bribed, bought, or pushed around. That’s what our state needs now.”
Interesting, considering that Rauner is not an ultra-conservative and Roeser is helping lead the charge against a like-minded state party chairman.

AFSCME releases contract details
Tuesday, Mar 5, 2013 - Posted by Rich Miller
* AFSCME Council 31 has posted its tentative contract deal online for its members. I was able to secure a copy from a member. The most interesting part I saw while scanning through the documents…
So, if there are no legislative appropriations for step increases, COLAs, etc., then the health insurance premium language will be null and void. Here are the wage hikes negotiated by AFSCME…
* The full document is here. Because of the way it was originally saved, you may have to use your “zoom” tool to read it.
If you see something interesting, make sure to make note of it in comments. Thanks.

*** UPDATED x13 *** Dawn Clark Netsch
Tuesday, Mar 5, 2013 - Posted by Rich Miller
* One of the “founding mothers” of Illinois’ modern constitution has passed away…
Former Illinois Comptroller Dawn Clark Netsch, a longtime state senator and the first woman to win the Democratic nomination for governor, has died. She was 86.
Netsch died overnight, according to a family friend who answered the phone at Netsch’s home in Lincoln Park. Netsch had disclosed in January that she had been diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease.
The disease, also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord that control muscle movement. There is no known cure, and the disease can lead to near-total paralysis. The average life expectancy for patients is about three to five years from diagnosis, according to the ALS Association. […]
Netsch, an attorney, served as a delegate at the 1970 Illinois Constitutional Convention and was elected to the state Senate in 1972. She was elected Illinois comptroller in 1990, and she became the first woman to win a major party nomination when Democrats picked her to run for governor in 1994. Netsch was defeated in the general election by Republican Jim Edgar.
* She stomped on the terra…
She made a career of shattering a succession of glass ceilings in what was, not so long ago, a man’s world of law and politics.
She was one of the first female law professors in the United States. A liberal Democrat, she defeated the Machine-backed incumbent state Sen. Danny O’Brien to win a seat in the Illinois Senate in 1972 that she held for 18 years. Elected comptroller in 1990, she was the first woman elected to statewide office in Illinois and, four years later, the first to run with the backing of a major political party for governor, losing to incumbent Gov. Jim Edgar.
Netsch said she “never ran as a woman” but always argued, “More women are needed to make a difference in public policy.”
Wendy Cohen, her one-time chief of staff and dear friend, recalled that despite the onset of her illness, “Dawn thrived on political gossip and a bit of sherry.” And she was sending out donations to a variety of causes up until the end.
She “cared so deeply about civil rights, human rights, women’s rights,” Kerr said.
* Netsch was also a big White Sox fan…
And above all, she loved the White Sox.
We clashed more than once. Actually, pretty much all the time. But her importance to Illinois history cannot be understated. She’s one of our giants and I, for one, will miss her.
*** UPDATE 1 *** Lt. Gov. Sheila Simon…
”Dawn Clark Netsch was a hero of mine since the early 1980s and a friend and mentor ever since,” Simon said. “We served on the board of the Illinois Campaign for Political Reform together and collaborated on reform issues for many years. She was straight forward, a straight shooter and great at explaining state issues. She was not just a public servant, but a teacher. She will be missed.”
…Adding… The Chicago History Museum did an oral history with Ms. Netsch last year. Part One is here.
*** UPDATE 2 *** From Equality Illinois…
“Long before it was the politically safe thing to do, there was Dawn Clark Netsch fighting for LGBT rights and giving voice to those who would be silenced. She was never quiet when she felt her voice could make a difference. Her legacy will be our blessing. She will be sorely missed.”
*** UPDATE 3 *** Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka…
“Illinois lost a true legend and trailblazer today with the passing of Dawn Clark Netsch. Dawn faithfully served Illinois and its residents for more than four decades, fighting for good, honest government that rises above politics. In fact, one of the highlights of my legislative career was partnering with her to co-sponsor the state’s Open Meetings Act. She continued her work as State Comptroller, establishing the office as an honest broker and credible source of information when it comes to state finances. And she continued her crusade into retirement, regularly speaking out on the need for government reform and accountability.
“Dawn always remembered that government exists to serve taxpayers, not the other way around. She was a leader who was ahead of her time and our state is better for her service. More than that, she was a consummate professional and a class act. It was my honor to call her a colleague and friend.”
*** UPDATE 4 *** Attorney General Lisa Madigan…
“Dawn Clark Netsch set the standard for integrity in public service. She led by example with relentless honesty, fierce independence and a passionate belief in civil liberty for all. She blazed a trail for women and worked hard to make sure so many of us could follow her. She remained active and engaged in public policy up to the very end, and her unwavering dedication to the People of Illinois will be missed.”
*** UPDATE 5 *** U.S. Representative Mike Quigley…
“Illinois has lost a true trailblazer and political icon with the passing of Dawn Clark Netsch. Dawn leaves behind a long path paved with the shattered glass from the ceilings she broke for women in leadership, as well as a proud history of fighting for the gay community and standing up against public corruption. Dawn was a friend and professional mentor, whose fierce honesty and sharp wit I will deeply miss.”
*** UPDATE 6 *** Gov. Quinn…
“I join with everyone in Illinois to mourn the passing of a great public servant.
“Dawn Clark Netsch was a strong advocate for education and a pioneer for equal rights for all people. As the first woman elected to a statewide constitutional office in Illinois, Comptroller Netsch blazed a trail for women in public office.
“As an elected delegate to the Illinois constitutional convention in 1970, she spearheaded the movement to modernize our constitution. I witnessed firsthand her dedication to honest government when we served together as state treasurer and comptroller.
“Most importantly, Dawn was a straight shooter, and not just at playing pool. She always told the people of Illinois what they needed to know.
“Throughout her life, Dawn Clark Netsch taught us all about the right way to move forward in our democracy. We are all better off because of her purposeful life.”
*** UPDATE 7 *** Secretary of State Jesse White…
“Dawn Clark Netsch was a trailblazer for women, equality and justice,” said Secretary of State Jesse White. “Her legacy will live on through her incomparable career of helping others. In addition to being my friend, I had the added privilege of serving with Dawn in the General Assembly as her state representative while she served as my state senator. She will be missed, and the state of Illinois owes her a debt of gratitude.”
*** UPDATE 8 *** Senate President John J. Cullerton, who was appointed to the Senate to fill out Netsch’s term…
“Because of the success of Dawn Clark Netsch, I began my career in the Illinois Senate. Born on the same day and in the same year as my dear mother, Dawn Clark Netsch has been a mentor throughout my career. As the first woman to run for governor, she has been a motivator for an entire generation of public servants. That is her lasting legacy.
“In one of her final public appearances she received lifetime achievement award for her dedication and service for women and families in the state of Illinois. It was an honor to be among those giving Dawn the proud ovation that she had earned. She was a remarkable reformer with a tremendous career worthy of our recognition and praise.”
*** UPDATE 9 *** Sun-Times editorial…
Till the end, Netsch served on two government commissions, talked with reporters about the best ways to fix the state’s finances, and pushed for a state progressive income tax.
Dawn Clark Netsch, always humorous, whip smart and wonky, showed thousands of Illinois women the way.
*** UPDATE 10 *** House GOP Leader Tom Cross…
“Today we mourn the passing of former Illinois state senator and Comptroller Dawn Clark Netsch; a trailblazer for women in state government and an honorable public servant who made substantial contributions to the people of Illinois throughout her long and distinguished career. Dawn will be remembered for her unparalleled passion, integrity and commitment to service both as a public official and a private citizen. She will be greatly missed.”
*** UPDATE 11 *** Congresswoman Cheri Bustos…
“I first met Dawn Clark Netsch when I was in college and she was still in the Illinois State Senate. She was a mentor to young women across Illinois, and I was among her many fans. I looked up to her for her candor and kindness and for speaking with boldness and always with clarity of thought and ideas.
“Dawn Clark Netsch will be sorely missed, especially by the Illinois women in public service like myself for whom she helped pave the way.”
*** UPDATE 12 *** Senate Republican Leader Christine Radogno…
“I’d like to extend my deepest sympathy to the family and friends of former senator and Comptroller Dawn Clark Netsch. Her lifetime was distinguished by countless personal and professional accomplishments, but she will be most remembered for her lifelong commitment to public service and the residents of Illinois.”
*** UPDATE 13 *** Former Gov. Jim Edgar…
“Dawn Clark Netsch was one of our state’s most influential public officials, and she was likely the most influential woman in Illinois state government over the last 50 years. I had the greatest respect for Dawn. She was a brilliant and thoughtful trailblazer and an honest advocate for the best in our government.”
