* Press release…
Today Governor JB Pritzker announced that Illinois Department of Insurance (DOI) Director Dana Popish Severinghaus will step down from her role on April 15th. Popish Severinghaus has served as Director of DOI since January of 2021. Governor Pritzker has appointed State Senator Ann Gillespie as new Acting Director of DOI, pending Senate confirmation.
“Dana has served the state of Illinois admirably, helping protect consumers against predatory insurance practices and reforming the system to work for the people of Illinois,” said Governor JB Pritzker. “She was a champion for Illinoisans who otherwise would have struggled to navigate vast, complex insurance systems, and I’m grateful to her for service. I am also pleased to appoint an accomplished advocate like Senator Gillespie as the new acting director and look forward to seeing her decades of experience at work making the insurance system better for every Illinoisan.”
State Senator Ann Gillespie has been appointed as the new head of DOI and will begin serving in an Acting Director role in mid-April. Gillespie, who will resign her state senate seat, has served in the Illinois General Assembly since 2019 representing Chicago’s northwest suburbs. As a State Senator, Gillespie sponsored the bill to create the state-based health insurance marketplace and has been a trusted partner on health care consumer protection issues in the General Assembly. Gillespie is a former business executive, health care attorney, and consultant in the health care field. She brings decades of experience in the insurance and managed care spaces to the role.
Under the leadership of Popish Severinghaus, DOI was instrumental in aiding Governor Pritzker in supporting and passing legislation authorizing a state-based health insurance marketplace in Illinois in 2023, and she led the agency in enrolling record-high numbers of Illinoisans in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) Health Insurance Marketplace.
During her time at DOI, Popish Severinghaus increased headcount to better serve the needs of Illinois insurance consumers and diversified staff to advance equity. She also served as Vice Chair of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) Privacy Protection Working Group to advance legislation to protect consumers’ data.
“I am incredibly grateful to have served the people of Illinois and to have led the passionate and committed staff at the Illinois Department of Insurance who stand out among state insurance regulators,” said Director Dana Popish Severinghaus. “The Department is at the forefront of regulatory enforcement, innovation, and policymaking, and we’ve accomplished great things for Illinois insurance consumers. It really was the opportunity of a lifetime.”
“It’s an honor to be asked to serve the state of Illinois in this new capacity, and I am eager to begin working with the Department of Insurance to make sure the system works for Illinois consumers,” said State Senator Ann Gillespie. “My experience in the healthcare field underlies decades of advocacy and public service, and I’m thankful for the opportunity to continue that work.”
The Illinois DOI regulates insurance industry behavior in Illinois, protecting consumers and fostering a competitive marketplace. DOI provides a central source of information on insurance providers as well as rules and regulations surrounding insurance, as well as an outlet to file grievances or complaints against insurance providers. The Director is also responsible for the operations of the Office of the Special Deputy Receiver (OSD), which handles the affairs of insurance companies placed in rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation.

* Mary Ann Ahern tipped us to this yesterday…
* Justin Laurence and Leigh Giangreco flesh it out…
Mayor Brandon Johnson is expected to request an additional $70 million from the City Council to continue to house, feed and care for the tens of thousands of migrants being transported to the city through the rest of the year. […]
Johnson’s position has changed in recent weeks, as members of his administration have told members of the City Council and other partners they were planning to make the $70 million request, according to sources familiar with the discussions. But the mayor’s office is aware a vote in the City Council could prove difficult as the city’s spending to care for asylum seekers has split the body for months.
Ald. Jason Ervin, 28th, who chairs the Budget Committee that would need to approve the funding, said “there’s a request forthcoming,” but he has not been briefed on the details.
“I don’t think it’s a slam dunk by any stretch of the imagination,” he said of the pending $70 million request. “There will definitely need to be a conversation around the issue as to ‘what’s the money for . . . or what are we doing in order to make this work.’ It just hasn’t gone through that deliberative process for anybody to make an educated decision on the matter.”
You cannot wish reality away. And the reality is, that money is needed.

* My weekly syndicated newspaper column…
The Illinois Department of Children and Family Services has been a very big state problem for a very long time. The department now has new leadership under Director Heidi Mueller, whose appointment was met with widespread praise. The former director of the Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice was confirmed by the Senate without a single “no” vote last month, minutes before I interviewed her.
During the past year or so, DCFS has taken major heat from the legislature’s bipartisan Joint Committee on Administrative Rules over the department’s regulation of child care centers. At one point, some legislators said the embattled agency should get out of the child care regulatory business altogether and focus on its core mission.
So I asked Mueller what she thought about the idea. “I do think that getting out of the child care licensing business for DCFS helps us focus on our core mission,” Mueller said.
Mueller talked about the idea in the context of “right-sizing” the agency. Her main priority, she said, is “getting in front” of the steadily increasing numbers of calls to the agency’s hotline, the resulting increase in investigations and the increased number of kids in care, which she said is “really unsustainable at some point.” Instead, she said she wants to “focus on prevention” and work with other state agencies “to make sure that no family is coming into or touching the DCFS system just because they need support and services for their child.”
“Most kids,” she said, “want to be with family, they want to be at home.” And she noted that “strong, healthy families” would help “keep kids safe.”
Cook County Public Guardian Charles Golbert has been a ferocious critic of DCFS over the years, but he called a recent meeting with Mueller “highly productive.” (Mueller said she wants regular meetings with Golbert to make sure their two offices are “finding solutions together.”)
Golbert, however, pointed out that despite all the increases of youth in care, the state’s rate of removing kids from families is “one of the lowest in the country, and has been for the past 10 years or so.” He also warned that when DCFS has in the past tried to decrease the removal rate, “we have often seen many high-profile cases of dead children.”
Kyle Hillman with the National Association of Social Workers’ Illinois chapter has also been a sharp critic of DCFS, but he had a much different take than Golbert.
“The director’s strategy to adjust the number of children in care, prioritize kinship, overhaul departmental culture and processes, and enhance the provision of intact services and community programs, is undeniably the correct policy and structural direction for the department,” Hillman said. Too little public attention is paid to “the thousands of cases where this approach has significantly benefited families and youths in care,” Hillman claimed. Instead, he said, “it’s the tragic incidents, including the loss of lives among children previously involved with DCFS, that tend to dominate headlines.”
The two DCFS critics were unified, however, when it came to Mueller’s discussion of kids who appear to be trapped in “beyond medical necessity” hospitalizations. Numerous stories have been written about children who are in mental hospitals and can’t leave because there’s no place for them to go.
Mueller said 31 children were currently in beyond medical necessity situations, and “beyond medical necessity is the term that an insurance provider uses to classify a child when they will no longer pay for services for that child … It doesn’t always mean that that child doesn’t require further treatment and intensive care.”
Golbert said while beyond medical necessity is indeed an insurance term, Mueller was “mistaken and, frankly, disingenuous” about what it really means.
“If you talk with the doctors and care providers at the hospital,” Golbert said, “they will tell you how horrible this is for the children, how they don’t need to be there and how unconscionable it is that DCFS doesn’t have anywhere for the children.”
Hillman agreed. “The issue at hand is not about denying necessary care to those who need it; rather, it centers on the grave reality that children deemed ready to transition to less restrictive environments are instead left languishing in hospital settings.”
Even so, Mueller said finding placements for those children is an “immediate priority of mine.”
At the end of the conversation I wished Mueller luck, because despite her obvious skills, talents and experience, she’ll likely need it.
* The column was an excerpt of a much longer piece I wrote for subscribers. Former DCFS Director Jess McDonald, who has been credited for straightening up the agency, saw that piece and sent me a note…
Rich,
Read your interview with Heidi Mueller. Thank you. She is just what DCFS needs. Hope she can keep up with expectations. I believe she will be an enormous difference maker in Illinois human services.
Regards,
Jess

It’s just a bill
Monday, Apr 8, 2024 - Posted by Isabel Miller
* Daily Herald…
In an 8-1 decision last week, Illinois House Transportation: Vehicles and Safety Committee members approved legislation that would stop requiring people age 79 and up to take driving tests when renewing their licenses.
“What we are trying to address is the discriminatory practice of requiring behind-the-wheel tests for seniors to renew their license,” said sponsor and state Rep. Jeff Keicher, a Sycamore Republican.
The next test is a vote in the House on Bill 4431. If that succeeds, the Senate would follow. […]
Democratic Rep. Eva-Dina Delgado of Chicago voted “present” and Democratic Rep. Tracy Katz Muhl of Northbrook was a “no,” but said “I want to keep the conversation going.”
* Capitol News Illinois…
An Illinois House committee advanced a measure that would end the state’s subminimum wage for tipped workers amid bipartisan opposition this week, but the bill’s sponsor said she’d seek further compromise before presenting it for a vote. […]
Hernandez made her comments during a lengthy hearing Wednesday in a packed committee room filled with advocates on both sides of the issue. She ultimately promised to not bring the bill to a vote in the full House without first negotiating amendments on it, but she also noted one of those changes would better address inequity within the industry and add punitive measures against “bad actors.”
Proponents of the bill said that not all employers follow the law and dependency on tips perpetuates inequalities. A 2014 report from the Economic Policy Institute think tank found at that time 66% of tipped workers were women and the poverty rate of tipped workers was almost double that of nontipped workers. […]
While the bill is intended to increase wages for tipped workers and address inequities within the industry, much of the roughly two-hour debate in the committee hearing focused on how the proposal will impact businesses and employees.
* Sun-Times Editorial Board…
Chicago is taking its time to fully phase out the subminimum wage for restaurant servers, bartenders and other tipped workers. It won’t be until 2028 when businesses will be required, under an ordinance passed by the City Council in October, to give all those employees a base pay of $15.80 per hour, the citywide minimum wage.
But already, some progressive Illinois lawmakers are pushing forward on a proposed bill that would eliminate the state’s subminimum wage for tipped workers across the state over a two-year period.
We support the end goal here, which is making sure that workers earn a decent living. But the restaurant business operates on notoriously thin profit margins, and it seems like every week we read or hear about another beloved eatery shutting down. Each closure is a blow to customers but most of all, to workers and restaurant owners. Something is lost every time a distinctive small neighborhood restaurant closes.
So we urge state lawmakers to follow the same take-it-slow approach. Let the proposal simmer a bit, continue negotiating with the industry, and most of all, first gauge how the city’s restaurants fare after Chicago implements its ordinance. That ordinance will add an 8% raise in July on the current $9.48 hourly wage for tipped workers.
* Tribune…
Following a report that revealed a number of shortcomings in the public defender system in Illinois, state lawmakers are considering a measure that would create a statewide office to provide public defenders with additional support in an effort to ensure indigent criminal defendants receive adequate legal representation. […]
But Senate President Don Harmon said in an interview that his goal for the legislation he filed on Thursday is to promote further negotiations with criminal justice reform advocates, resulting in a version that could be passed by the Democratic-controlled General Assembly before its spring session ends on May 24. […]
Under Harmon’s bill, the new office would provide unspecified support for public defenders and facilitate “a strategic planning process designed to enhance public defender services and ensure that effective assistance of counsel is rendered regardless of the jurisdiction in which charges are brought.” The bill also says the state Supreme Court “shall provide administrative and other support” through June 30, 2026. […]
The legislation is meant to address disparities in the resources allotted to county prosecutors and public defenders as well as the lack of public defense resources in rural areas — many of which don’t even have a public defender’s office — compared with larger counties, such as Cook County.
* Pantagraph…
Last week, another bill moved out of committee that would place a moratorium on carbon pipelines until a framework is in place. But that will not move forward while discussions continue on how to merge the different proposals. […]
State Rep. Stephanie Kifowit, D-Aurora, this week moved several bills that would enhance the state’s Tier 2 pension system, which includes nearly all state employees hired after 2010.
While the measures are not expected to pass, they come amid robust discussion on reforms to that system. A bill that merges some of those proposals together could emerge either in the next few weeks or this fall. […]
House Bill 1168, sponsored by state Rep. Nabeela Syed, D-Inverness, would ensure that when a person’s DNA is collected after they’ve been a victim of a crime, it will not be entered into a DNA database.
* WGEM…
The House Judiciary-Criminal Committee passed the Nelson Mandela Act Tuesday. It would limit how long someone can spend in isolation without any time outside their cell.
“The conditions of solitary confinement are pretty horrible. It’s loud, it’s constantly bright, there’s screaming, there’s banging consistently, and all that time you’re in a cell by yourself or with one other person at any given time, usually by yourself,” said Eric Anderson, an apprentice at the Restore Justice Foundation. […]
If the bill becomes law, jails and prisons in Illinois could only hold an inmate in solitary confinement for 10 days in a 180-day period. After 10 days, the inmate could still be held in disciplinary segregation but must get at least four hours daily outside of their cell.
“Locking people in solitary does not work, it just destroys people’s minds, and that’s why we’re asking to limit it in Illinois. The bill does not eliminate it entirely, it just limits it,” said Uptown People’s Law Center Executive Director Alan Mills.
* WREX…
In 2019, students at Hononegah High School started a petition to change their mascot from the “Indians.” A dueling petition began thereafter to keep the school’s “tradition” – especially for those used to “Princess Hononegah” performing in Native dress at sporting halftimes.
Rep. Maurice West began his government career in 2019 with an eye on Hononegah. Since then, the local lawmaker sponsored a bill requiring Native American history to be taught in public schools.
And in February, Rep. West introduced HB5617 – banning Native American logos, mascots and names in Illinois K-12 schools. The act specifically targets schools using “any person, animal or object” with aspects of indigenous culture and tribes. […]
“I’ve been working on an amendment to clarify that we are not trying to change the name of Winnebago or Waukegan, for example,” says the Rockford lawmaker. “We’re not trying to change those names. Those are the names of towns. We are just focused on the imagery and the mascots themselves.”
* Farm Week…
Illinois Farm Bureau continues to communicate its opposition to the proposed “Wetlands and Small Streams Protection Act.”
The legislation, proposed by state Sen. Laura Ellman, D-Naperville, and state Rep. Anna Moeller, D-Elgin, requires the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to establish a state-level permitting program to regulate wetlands and small streams.
The reach of the proposed legislation concerns IFB as it could lead to essentially every stream and wetland in Illinois being regulated, regardless of size. […]
Sofat explained the proposed legislation allows DNR to charge a permit fee ranging from $260-$5,000. The legislation also allows DNR to charge an undisclosed amount in fees for wetland delineation.
* Here’s language from Rep. Anna Moeller’s wetland protection bill, HB5386…
Section 15. Exemptions.
(a) Consistent with Section 404(f) of the Clean Water Act, as long as they do not have as their purpose bringing a wetland or stream into a use to which it was not previously subject and do not entail discharge of toxic pollutants, the following are not prohibited by or otherwise subject to regulation under this Act:
(1) Normal farming, silviculture, and ranching activities, including plowing, seeding, cultivating, minor
SB3669 has similar language.

* Here’s the rest…
* Tribune | Number of students receiving Invest in Kids tax credit scholarships soared in program’s final year, according to state data: The program supported more than 15,000 students with scholarships in the 2023-24 academic year, a 56% increase from the previous year, according to Department of Revenue data obtained by the Tribune. Financial contributions totaled more than $90 million for the program’s final year, up from $75 million last year. However, the number of contributions decreased by about 500 to a total of 4,700 donations. That’s roughly an average donation of $19,400 for the 2023-24 year.
* Center for Illinois Politics | Illinois Politics: Always interesting, sometimes stranger than fiction: Every political campaign worries about spies or moles infiltrating their ranks. But Poshard’s campaign for governor of Illinois really did have a certified spy – though Poshard’s campaign was never the target. The shadowed name in this story is Dave Rupert, a Chicago trucker recruited by the FBI to infiltrate a militant offshoot of the Irish Republican Army that was trying to blow up the peace process in Northern Ireland.
* LA Times | The perfect heist? Inside the seamless, sophisticated, stealthy L.A. theft that netted up to $30 million: They targeted a Gardaworld building on Roxford Street in Sylmar, accessing a vault where huge sums of cash were stored. … Gardaworld describes itself as a “global champion in security services, integrated risk management and cash solutions, employing more than 132,000 highly skilled and dedicated professionals.” Among its businesses is cash management and vault services.
* South Side Weekly | Mayor Johnson to Delay Picking New Public Safety Commissioners: On Thursday, however, word came down from the Fifth Floor: April’s meeting will not be the interim commissioners’ last. With approximately seventy-two hours until the deadline, the mayor’s office had not even done background checks on the fifteen candidates, let alone interviewed any of them. The interim commissioners would have to wait another month for the end of their term.
* Sun-Times | 300 migrants to be housed at shuttered Catholic church on Northwest Side: The Archdiocese of Chicago will lease St. Bartholomew Catholic Church at no cost — months after church officials offered to house new arrivals rent-free at the church. In turn, the city will sub-lease the building to the Zakat Foundation, which provides emergency relief and aid, to care for 300 new arrivals starting later this month, Johnson’s office said.
* South Side Weekly | Which Wards Have ShotSpotter?: On Monday, the City Council Committee on Police & Fire advanced an ordinance that would place the decision to keep ShotSpotter at the ward level, with individual alderpersons choosing whether or not to retain the controversial gunshot-detection technology. The legislation, sponsored by 17th Ward alderperson David Moore, openly defies Mayor Brandon Johnson, who fulfilled a campaign promise by announcing in February that he would end the city’s contract with ShotSpotter in September.
* Tribune | One year in: Chicago police district councils face discord amid slow steps toward community oversight: Lee had only served on the brand-new civilian council for the 2nd Police District for seven months, which was meant to represent the civilian voices of Hyde Park and Kenwood residents in the affairs of the Chicago Police Department. But rifts among council members over workload and meeting attendance quickly deteriorated into accusations of lying, public condemnation and rumors of resignation. An attempted no-confidence vote was one of the flashpoints punctuating an early meeting.
* Sun-Times | Gun cases in Chicago turned down by feds at higher rate than in most cities: Federal prosecutors are less likely than those in most other places — including New York and Los Angeles — to approve gun charges. Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul is taking up some of those rejected cases.
* Daily Herald | ‘Least-hairy option’: School leaders believe Arlington Heights Bears stadium still in play: The superintendents of Northwest Suburban High School District 214, Palatine-Schaumburg High School District 211 and Palatine Township Elementary District 15 spoke about their closed-door meetings with Bears President and CEO Kevin Warren that took place in January in the lead-up to the Cook County Board of Review’s ruling on the 326-acre former racetrack’s property value.
* Tom Kacich | Dearth of election judges bodes ill for November: And Champaign County Clerk and Recorder Aaron Ammons is already worried about not having enough election judges to staff a full complement of 66 polling places for the general election. It was enough of a problem for the just-completed primary that 15 voting centers — eight in Champaign-Urbana and the rest scattered around the county — weren’t opened.
* WGN | First all-minority, LGBTQ-owned dispensary set to open in Illinois: “Sway is a feeling, it’s a vibe,” said Edie Moore, co-owner of Sway. “It’s the culmination of Black and Brown communities and LGBTQ communities … coming together for cannabis.” Moore is not only a co-owner of the soon-to-be dispensary, but also an advocate for modernizing laws involving cannabis.
* WGEM | $1.5 million from opioid settlement coming to Adams County: Public health administrator Jerrod Welch said the county is expected to receive $1.5 million or more over the next decade to address the impacts of the epidemic. It’s all part of the national opioid settlement. The county can put that money toward many avenues such as educating the schools and workplace.
* Daily Herald | Bus company owner cited after unlicensed driver transported Wauconda students: In the wake of a group of students being transported to Wauconda Middle School by an unlicensed bus driver, the company’s owner has been cited for allowing the employee to make trips, Lake County officials said Saturday. Just after midnight on March 28, a Lake County Sheriff’s deputy stopped a bus in North Barrington for improper lane usage. The bus was traveling from O’Hare International Airport to Wauconda Middle School with 50 children aboard returning from a field trip.
* Tribune | Eileen O’Neill Burke: How she won and what it might mean for the office of Cook County’s top prosecutor going forward: Should O’Neill Burke ultimately win, she would quickly face formulating her own reform agenda, making cases to tamp down Chicago’s persistent gun violence, and running an office struggling with morale issues. “As much as numbers have gone down, the amount of street crime is extraordinarily high and has a tremendous impact on the community,” said Richard Kling, a clinical professor of law at Chicago-Kent College of Law.
* Herald & Review | Car crashes into Decatur home’s living room; intersection called dangerous: Chavez said one of her neighbors has tried in the past to persuade the City of Decatur to put in stop signs, and she fears the crashes will keep on happening unless something is done.
* WBEZ | Major funder for Chicago Public Media ‘saddened’ by layoffs but still optimistic Sun-Times, WBEZ merger will succeed: Those cuts mean the elimination of WBEZ’s podcast unit and the conversion of the WBEZ-run Vocalo radio station — which has offered R&B, jazz and Spanish-language programming — into a streaming-only service. Four nonunionized Sun-Times staff members also were among those laid off.
* Sun-Times | Giant sculpture to be moved from Thompson Center by end of April: ‘Monument with Standing Beast’ — nicknamed “Snoopy in a Blender” — has stood in front of the former state office building for decades. But Google, the building’s new owner, has begun an extensive renovation.
* Sun-Times | ‘I don’t know how I can live without him’: Chicago cop who died by suicide was devoted family man: In recent years, the police department has grappled with a troubling rise in suicides and stinging criticism of its efforts to provide mental health support to officers to prevent them from burning out. But even before then, a U.S. Justice Department report in 2017 found the suicide rate of Chicago cops was 60% higher than the national average for law enforcement officials.
* Sun-Times | CTA adding more L service throughout spring, summer: The CTA anticipates adding up to 67 newly trained rail operators by the summer, the agency said. New trains will be added to schedules as operators become available.
* Angie Leventis Lourgos | When an abortion clinic became the last one standing in Missouri: “There was no top to the head, there was no top to the brain,” said the man in the baseball cap, his sunglasses now clipped to his shirt and no longer concealing his eyes, which welled with tears. “The options were to either carry this child who had a death sentence. Or to terminate the pregnancy.” […] The pregnant patient’s physician referred her to Hope Clinic, which performs abortions at up to 24 weeks’ gestation. The couple were confused and dismayed: They couldn’t understand why they couldn’t terminate the pregnancy in the same state where they received prenatal care. Although they lived nearby in southern Illinois, the young woman was treated throughout her pregnancy by doctors and nurses in Missouri and planned to deliver at a hospital there. In her time of grief, she said, it was difficult to understand why she had to find a new medical provider to terminate the pregnancy as they faced the worst possible outcome.
* WSIL | Little Resource Center looks to expand access to books in Carbondale: The Little Free Library program brings small box structures to communities across the US. The structures are then filled with books. The idea is that residents will go to the libraries and switch out a book for one that is already there. According to the Little Free Library website, Carbondale currently has five libraries scattered across the city. The Little Resource Center hopes to open the city’s sixth location in the Tatum Heights neighborhood.
* QC Times | South Carolina beats Iowa 87-75 to win NCAA championship: Clark did all she could to lead the Hawkeyes to their first championship. She scored 30 points, including a championship-record 18 in the first quarter. She will go down as one of the greatest players in NCAA history. She rewrote the record book at Iowa (34-5), finishing as the career leading scorer in NCAA Division I history with 3,951 career points.
