To Modernize Our Natural Gas Distribution System, Illinois Needs a Legislative Solution – Vote YES on the 2013 Natural Gas Consumer, Safety and Reliability Act (SB 2266, HAM #3)
Tuesday, May 28, 2013 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] The 2013 Natural Gas Consumer, Safety and Reliability Act (Senate Bill 2266, HAM #3) passed yesterday by 84-32 in the Illinois House and now awaits the Senate’s vote. If enacted into law, this legislation will bring the Illinois regulatory system into the 21st century. This bill will provide a cost-recovery mechanism that will allow for gas utilities to recoup investments made to upgrade and improve Illinois’ natural gas distribution system. These improvements and enhancements will make natural gas delivery safer, quicker and more reliable. This will benefit Illinois consumers and improve our state’s economy. It will be better for the environment, and it will create jobs. With natural gas prices at near historic lows, we need to focus on replacing these outdated mains and modernizing our aging gas infrastructure. Illinois’ natural gas utilities need a legislative solution to have the continued confidence to invest and provide customers with the safe and reliable service they expect.

DON’T TAX SATELLITE TV!
Tuesday, May 28, 2013 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] The satellite television industry serves a crucial role in connecting Illinois to the rest of the world with content that informs, entertains and educates – in many instances it’s the exclusive broadcast service provider available to Illinois homes. In addition, the satellite TV industry is an important economic driver creating hundreds of jobs in our state. Facts About Satellite TV in Illinois:
• Employs over 790 people, plus more than 1,000 technicians at 481 local retailers • Rural Illinois depends on satellite TV since cable does not often provide service to their area • Satellite TV offers a wider range of foreign language programming in comparison to cable Lawmakers continue to be prodded by the cable TV industry to place a NEW 5% monthly tax on satellite TV service. Previous versions of this discriminatory tax proposal have been defeated in Springfield—and similar bills are regularly defeated in other states including three times in neighboring Indiana, Iowa and Minnesota. This revenue generator needs to be clearly labeled what it is: An unfair tax increase on the 1.3 million Illinois families and businesses who subscribe to satellite TV.
