SB 328: Protects Working People & Helps Fight Trump’s Predatory MAGA Agenda
Thursday, Aug 14, 2025 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] The same front groups, associations and companies that are backing Trump’s predatory MAGA agenda of raising prices, slashing Medicaid, and gutting the Environmental Protection Agency, Food & Drug Administration, and Occupational Safety and Health Administration are also against SB 328. They wrongly believe our state can’t be pro-worker and pro-business, and want Illinois to turn its back on people who have shared their stories about big corporations that have poisoned them or their loved ones: “This legislation prevents the unfair shifting of responsibility from out-of-state companies that caused the harm to Illinois-based businesses that had potentially smaller roles in causing the injury.” — Illinois woman whose husband developed cancer caused by inhaling asbestos fibers his father brought home on his clothing from working at an Indiana chemical company SB 328 is good legislation and another way to show that Illinois will always stand up for working families and the most vulnerable.

IPA: SB40 With Energy Storage Will Slash Sky-High Electric Bills
Thursday, Aug 14, 2025 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] Consumers across Illinois are seeing massive increases in their bills because of inadequate energy supplies and rising demand. And yet a tool that numerous studies have shown could have averted some of these increases now and in the future, battery energy storage, waits for legislative action. Last session, without evidence, opponents claimed adding energy storage in Illinois would spike ratepayer bills. But no fewer than a half dozen studies in Illinois and across the country from groups like the Illinois Power Agency, Clean Grid Alliance and NRDC have shown that storage saves billions for ratepayers. The Facts:
- ComEd customers would save “from $1.52/month to $2.32/month by 2030 and $7.89/month to $8.52/month by 2035.” The facts don’t lie – consumers are seeing the cost of doing nothing in their spiking electric bills NOW. Adding energy storage to Illinois’s electric grid will save consumers billions. That’s why CUB is asking lawmakers to pass SB40 as the best way “to contain costs for electric customers while managing unprecedented energy demand.” Illinois must follow the facts and enact SB40 this fall to deploy 6 gigawatts of energy storage by 2035.
