Economists Agree: Preserving Nuclear Plants is Good for Consumers, Good for Economy
Tuesday, Mar 31, 2015 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] Illinois depends on reliable, clean-air energy from nuclear facilities to power Illinois and drive our economy. But some of Illinois’ nuclear energy facilities are at risk of closing prematurely, which would be catastrophic for Illinois’ economy. Don’t take our word for – two of Illinois’ leading economic minds agree that allowing these plants to close is a bad idea.
• Stanford L. Levin, emeritus professor of economics at Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville and former ICC Commissioner, said the closure of the state’s three economically challenges nuclear plants could hurt Illinois consumers. (Stanford Levin, Op-Ed, “Nuclear Power Plant Closures Could Hurt Illinois Consumers,” State Journal-Register) The fact is, three of Illinois’ six nuclear plants are at risk of closing, and the consequences of these closures are catastrophic: • $1.8 billion every year in lost economic activity Only one legislative solution - the Illinois Low Carbon Portfolio Standard (LCPS) - would help prevent these closures. The LCPS is good for Illinois consumers, good for our economy and good for our environment. VOTE YES ON HB 3293 / SB 1585 Learn more at www.NuclearPowersIllinois.com

Jacob’s Story: Delayed Treatment Changes the Future and a Family
Tuesday, Mar 31, 2015 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] My name is Wendy Warmowski. My son, Jacob, was a perfectly healthy, happy toddler until several medical errors changed his life forever. Jacob was diagnosed with an ear infection and given antibiotics. When his antibiotic was nearly finished he took a turn for the worse. We eventually ended up in the ER. At the ER, Jacob should have had immediate attention and care, but instead we waited. Jacob was eventually diagnosed with strep pneumomeningitis. The doctors ordered antibiotics to be given immediately, but instead we waited again. Because of the delay in treating Jacob he had 6 strokes, fell into a coma and had to have a tube placed down his throat to help him breath. The doctors told me Jacob might not ever wake up from the coma or come off of the ventilator. Today, Jacob continues to have physical and mental issues. He has vision problems, balance difficulties, attention issues and epilepsy. He has to have special schooling and goes to occupational, physical and speech therapy several times a week. The civil justice system allowed our family to hold the doctors responsible for their errors and delays that resulted in Jacob’s brain injury. Our settlement allows us to give Jacob the best care he could have so that he can live the best life he can. Trust me; I’d return it all to have that happy, perfectly healthy toddler back. The Illinois Trial Lawyers Association fights to ensure all citizens get equal footing in the courtroom. To read more about Jacob’s story, click here.
