If Taylorville is REALLY so bad, why does STOP so painfully distort the truth?
Wednesday, Nov 2, 2011 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] Enough is enough. Let’s look at their claims: STOP Claim: “Taylorville Energy Center electricity will cost SEVEN times market price.”
STOP Claim: “Tenaska wants Illinois consumers to pay even if their plant produces no power.”
STOP Claim: “We don’t need any new baseload. The speculation on the closure of baseload plants is just that, it’s speculation.”
A diverse coalition of elected officials, business and labor, consumer and environmental groups from around the state knows the truth and supports SB 678, the Comprehensive Energy Efficiency and Investment Act. Illinois has a choice: act now or pay more later.

Defending the Middle Class
Wednesday, Nov 2, 2011 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] Last week, thousands of police, firefighters, teachers and caregivers – working men and women who serve their communities across Illinois – stood tall against the scare tactics of a group of wealthy Chicagoans. These public servants sent a strong but simple message: The middle class shouldn’t pay for an economy ravaged by the corporate elite. Slashing the modest pensions of those who give their working lives to public service is not the answer to Illinois’ debt problems. Public employees have paid into their pensions from every paycheck. It’s the politicians who’ve ignored their obligations and skipped their payments. Don’t pass the buck. Stand tall for the middle class. It’s time Illinois honors the promises made to those who’ve dedicated their lives to public service. Visit www.WeAreOneIllinois.org to learn more.
