Energy News: Local Governments To Miss Out On $222 Million In Potential Tax Revenue
Thursday, Apr 11, 2019 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] On April 10th, the Illinois Power Agency held a lottery to award renewable energy credit contracts to community solar, large commercial and industrial projects. Community Solar is for the 75% of Illinoisans who can’t put solar on their roofs. Demand was exceptionally strong, but due to the limited program size, approximately 90% of permitted community solar projects failed to receive contracts. Now those projects and the $222 million in tax revenue they would have generated for their communities over the next two decades is in jeopardy. Without a fix to the state’s renewable energy program, remaining projects may not be built. Tim Nugent, president and CEO of the Economic Alliance of Kankakee County, said: “Rural communities need new sources of revenue right now, and solar is one way to do that. We’re interested in seeing more community solar projects move forward, because at this point we’re leaving money on the table.” Vote YES on HB 2966/SB 1781 to fix Illinois’ clean energy cliff and let shovel ready projects move forward.

What Is The Credit Union Difference?
Thursday, Apr 11, 2019 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] It’s simple. Credit unions are member-owned, so any earnings are simply returned in the form of lower loan rates, higher interest on deposits and lower fees. Credit unions create a fair financial alternative for the taxpayers of Illinois. Credit unions are not-for-profit financial cooperatives that don’t focus on increasing revenue or paying dividends to outside stockholders. Illinois credit unions are focused on the member-owners we serve. Visit www.asmarterchoice.org to learn more about the benefits of credit union membership.

‘Fair’ Fight
Thursday, Apr 11, 2019 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] The Senate Executive Committee heard testimony yesterday on Gov. Pritzker’s “fair tax” constitutional amendment. But witness slips alone indicate average Illinoisans aren’t buying what the governor’s selling. Given polling on this issue in key House districts held by Democrats, that’s not surprising. Pritzker and his tax plan are disliked.  Full polling details: House District 48 (topline, crosstabs), House District 49 (topline, crosstabs), House District 51 (topline, crosstabs), House District 57 (topline, crosstabs), House District 96 (topline, crosstabs), House District 111 (topline, crosstabs), House District 112 (topline, crosstabs).
