Protect Illinois Hospitality – Vote No On House Bill 5345
Thursday, Apr 25, 2024 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] “The hospitality industry in Illinois is a strong economic driver to the state’s economy. We have some of the best breweries, restaurants, and hotels in the world and we should be doing what we can to help these businesses continue to prosper and grow. However, policy changes are being discussed that would eliminate the tip credit, effectively hurting the heart and soul of what makes those businesses special – the people. That is not the path that we should take as it will impact our small independent operators in communities all over the state the most. We hope Illinois legislators will reject these plans and vote no on any measure that will eliminate the tip credit on hospitality workers.” Lou Sandoval Tell your state legislators to VOTE NO on House Bill 5345 and Protect Illinois Hospitality

Illinois Hospitals Are Driving Economic Activity Across Illinois: $117.7B Annually And 445K Jobs
Thursday, Apr 25, 2024 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] Over 200 hospitals and nearly 40 health systems: Illinois’ hospital community sparks economic activity and growth throughout the state totaling $117.7 billion every year. Such significant economic impact comes from a diverse group of healthcare providers—community and safety net hospitals, teaching hospitals and academic medical centers, rural and critical access hospitals, and specialty hospitals. Yet each one contributes to their community as economic anchors and large employers providing good-paying jobs. Consider the key findings in a new report on the essential role of hospitals on the economy:
• Illinois hospitals directly employ 190,000 Illinoisans; and • Every $1 in hospital spending leads to another $1.40 in spending. Driving economic growth is just one of the many roles hospitals have. Most associated with providing lifesaving care, hospitals and health systems also promote community health and well-being; foster neighborhood revitalization; enhance public health and safety through community partnerships; and advance health equity initiatives to ensure optimal health for all residents. Illinois hospitals and health systems support working families by generating a combined 445,000 jobs among hospitals and other sectors due to hospital spending.
