STATE NEWS

Former lawmaker sentenced in bribery scheme Rep. Luis Arroyo sought legislation for his private lobbying client BY PETER HANCOCK

CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS PHANCOCK@CAPITOLNEWSILLINOIS.COM

SPRINGFIELD – Former state Rep. Luis Arroyo was sentenced this week to nearly ﬁve years in prison for his role in a bribery scheme involving a state senator and one of Arroyo’s private lobbying clients who sought favorable legislation for the sweepstakes gambling industry. Arroyo, 67, is a Chicago Democrat who represented the 3rd District in the House from 2006 to 2019. He was arrested on bribery charges in October 2019 and resigned his seat on Nov. 1 that year, just moments before a special investigative committee was to meet to consider whether he should be ousted from o�ce. Even after resigning, though, Arroyo maintained that he was innocent. He ﬁnally pleaded guilty to the charges in November 2021. According to the indictment, in 2018 and 2019 Arroyo accepted thousands of dollars in bribes from a gaming company, Collage LLC, in exchange for promoting legislation authorizing electronic sweepstakes machines, which look and operate much like slot machines. In addition, he was accused of bribing a sitting state senator at the time, now known to be former Sen. Terry Link, a Lake County Democrat, for supporting that legislation. Arroyo and Link, who was wearing a wire, reportedly met at a Skokie restaurant in August 2019 where Arroyo handed Link a $2,500 check from Collage with a promise of additional monthly payments for as long as a year in exchange for Link’s support of the legislation. During that conversation, according to federal prosecutors, Arroyo told Link, “This is the jackpot.” That investigation was part of a wide-ranging probe into public corruption in the Chicago area conducted by U.S. Attorney John Lausch’s o�ce and the FBI. Also as a result of that investigation, Link was later charged and pleaded guilty to tax evasion. He was not immediately sentenced in exchange for his agreement to cooperate with the ongoing investigation. He resigned from the Senate in September 2020. And former House Speaker Michael Madigan, who had pressured Arroyo to

resign and called the allegations against him “beyond extraordinary,” was indicted earlier this year on charges related to a separate bribery scheme involving utility giant Commonwealth Edison. He resigned in January 2021 after failing to win reelection to another term as speaker..

Wild Ones hosts climate change program From Dawn Skupien

Wild Ones Rock River Valley

It is now generally accepted that our climate is changing to the detriment of most of life on earth due to an unnatural rise in CO2. It has caused a change in the timing of such natural events as the budding of trees, shrubs, and forbs as well as insect emergence from winter dormancy which ultimately affects nesting birds that depend on insects to feed their nestlings. Dr. Doug Stotz, from the Field Museum,

Rockton Lions Club Presents

will discuss these offsets as well as the effects of climate change on native plants, vegetation communities, and the wildlife that depend on them. He will also address the role those urban areas can play in the conservation of plants, animals, and their habitats in the face of climate change, including some thoughts on what people can do in their backyards and local parks. Douglas Stotz is a senior conservation ecologist in the Keller Science Action Center at the Field Museum. He received

his Ph.D. in Evolutionary Biology from University of Chicago in 1990. He is active in programs to preserve biological diversity and threatened habitats, both in the Chicago region and in the Andean and Amazonian rainforests of South America. In Chicago, he focuses on studying bird migration, the effects of climate change on bird populations and the value of urban area to biodiversity conservation. He is a member and formerly chair of the Climate Change Committee for Chicago Wilderness.

Besides his bird work, Doug is part of the museum’s Monarch team, ensuring that urban areas live up to their potential for providing habitat and milkweed to this declining migratory butterfly. This presentation will be held at 7 p.m. on Thursday, June 16 via Zoom. Information on how to connect to the Zoom presentation will be posted on the Chapter website (www. wildonesrrvc.org) and Facebook page. The program is free and open to the public.

POKROVSK, Ukraine (AP) — Russian and Ukrainian troops traded blows in fierce close-quarter combat Sunday in an eastern Ukrainian city as Moscow’s soldiers, supported by intense shelling, attempted to gain a strategic foothold to conquer the region. Ukraine’s leader also made a rare frontline visit to Kharkiv, the country’s second-largest city, to assess the strength of the national defense. In the east, Russian forces stormed Sievierodonetsk after trying unsuccessfully to encircle the strategic city, Ukrainian officials said. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy described the situation there as “indescribably difficult,” with a relentless Russian artillery barrage destroying critical infrastructure and damaging 90% of the buildings. “Capturing Siev ierodonetsk is a principal task for the occupation force,” Zelensky said, adding that the Russians don’t care about casualties. The city’s mayor said the fighting had knocked out power and cellphone service and forced a humanitarian relief center to shut down because of the dangers. The deteriorating conditions raised fears that Sieverodonetsk could become the next Mariupol, a city on the Sea of Azov that spent nearly three months under Russian siege before the last Ukrainian fighters surrendered. Sievierodonetsk, located 143 kilometers (89 miles) south of the Russian border, has emerged in recent days as the epicenter of Moscow’s quest to capture all of Ukraine’s eastern industrial Donbas region. Russia also stepped up its efforts to capture the nearby city of Lysychansk, where civilians rushed to escape persistent shelling. The two eastern cities span the strategically important Siverskiy Donetsk River. They are the last major areas under Ukrainian control in Luhansk province, which makes up the Donbas together with the adjacent Donetsk region. Zelenskyy, meanwhile, visited soldiers in Kharkiv, where Ukrainian fighters pushed Russian forces back from nearby positions several weeks ago. “I feel boundless pride in our defenders. Every day, risking their lives, they fight for Ukraine’s freedom,” Zelenskyy wrote on the Telegram messaging app after the visit. Russia has kept up its bombardment of the northeastern city from afar, and explosions could be heard shortly after

Zelenskyy’s visit. Shelling and airstrikes have destroyed more than 2,000 apartment buildings in the city since Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24, according to the regional governor, Oleh Syniehubov. In a video address later Sunday, Zelenskyy praised Kharkiv regional officials but said he had fired the regional head of the country’s top security agency, the SBU, for his poor performance. In the wider Kharkiv region, Russian troops still held about one-third of the territory, Zelenskyy said. After failing to seize Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, Russia is focused on occupying parts of Donbas not already controlled by pro-Moscow separatists. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told French TF1 television Sunday that Moscow’s “unconditional priority is the liberation of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions,” adding that Russia sees them as “independent states.” He also suggested other regions of Ukraine should be able to establish close ties with Russia. In Luhansk, constant Russian shelling has created what provincial governor Serhiy Haidai called a “severe situation.” “There are fatalities and wounded people,” he wrote on Telegram. On Saturday, he said, one civilian died and four were injured after a Russian shell hit a high-rise apartment building. But some Luhansk supply and evacuation routes functioned Sunday, he said. He claimed the Russians had retreated “with losses” around a village near Sievierodonetsk but conducted airstrikes on another nearby river village. Civilians who reached the eastern city of Pokrovsk, 130 kilometers (80 miles) south of Lysychansk, said they held out as long as they could before fleeing the Russian advance. Yana Skakova choked back tears as she described leaving with her 18-month and 4-year-old sons while her husband stayed behind to take care of their house and animals. The family was among 18 people who lived in a basement for the past 2 1/2 months until police told them Friday it was time to evacuate. “None of us wanted to leave our native city,” she said. “But for the sake of these small children, we decided to leave.” Oksana, 74, who was too afraid to give her surname, was evacuated from Lysychansk by a team of foreign volunteers along with her 86-year-old husband. “I’m going somewhere, not knowing where,” she wept. “Now I am a beggar without happiness. Now I have to ask for

charity. It would be better to kill me.” Sievierodonetsk Mayor Oleksandr Striuk said there was fighting at the city’s bus station on Saturday. Residents remaining in the city, which had a prewar population of around 100,000, risked exposure to shelling just to get water from a half-dozen wells, and there was no electricity or cellphone service. Striuk estimates that 1,500 civilians in the city have died since the war began, from Russian attacks as well as from a lack of medicine or treatment. The Institute for the Study of War, a think tank based in Washington, questioned the Kremlin’s strategy of assembling a huge military effort to take Sieverodonetsk, saying it was proving costly for Russia and would bring few returns. “When the battle of Sieverodonetsk ends, regardless of which side holds the city, the Russian offensive at the operational and strategic levels will likely have culminated, giving Ukraine the chance to restart its operational-level counteroffensives to push Russian forces back,” the institute said late Saturday. In Mariupol on Sunday, an aide to its Ukrainian mayor alleged that after Russia’s forces gained complete control of the city, they piled the bodies of dead people inside a supermarket. The aide, Petro Andryushchenko, posted a photo on the Telegram messaging app of what he described as a “corpse dump” in the occupied city. It showed bodies stacked alongside closed supermarket counters. “Here, the Russians bring the bodies of the dead, which were washed out of their graves during attempts to restore the water supply, and partially exhumed. They just dump them like garbage,” he wrote. It was not immediately possible to verify his claim. Regions across Ukraine were pummeled overnight by renewed Russian airstrikes. On the ground in the eastern Donetsk region, fighters battled back and forth for control of villages and cities. The Ukrainian army reported heavy fighting around Donetsk, the provincial capital, as well as Lyman to the north, a small city that serves as a key rail hub in the Donetsk region. Moscow claimed Saturday to have taken Lyman, but Ukrainian authorities said their fighters remained engaged in combat in parts of the city. “The enemy is reinforcing its units,” the Ukrainian armed forces’ General Staff said. “It is trying to gain a foothold in the area.”

Uvalde Shooting

Uvalde tells Biden to ‘do something’; he pledges ‘we will’ By Zeke Miller and Elliot Spagat Associated Press

UVALDE, Texas (AP) — President Joe Biden grieved with the shattered community of Uvalde on Sunday, mourning privately for three hours with anguished families of the 19 schoolchildren and two teachers killed by a gunman. Faced with chants of “do something” as he departed a church service, Biden pledged: “We will.” At Robb Elementary School, Biden visited a memorial of 21 white crosses — one for each of those killed — and first lady Jill Biden added a bouquet of white flowers to those already placed in front of the school sign. The couple then viewed individual altars erected in memory of each student, the first lady touching the children’s photos as they moved along the row. After visiting the memorial, Biden attended Mass at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, where several victims’ families are members, and one of the families was in attendance. Speaking directly to the children in the congregation, Archbishop Gustavo Garcia-Siller tried to assuage the fears of the youngsters, some appearing about the same age as the victims. “You have seen the news, you have witnessed the tears of your parents, friends,” he said, encouraging them not to be afraid of life. “You are the best reminders to us that the lives of the little ones are important.” As Biden departed church to meet privately with family members, a crowd of about 100 people began chanting “do something.” Biden answered, “We will,” as he got into his car. It was his only public comment during roughly seven hours in Uvalde. Biden later tweeted that he grieves, prays and stands with the people of Uvalde. “And we are committed to turning this pain into action,” he said. The visit to Uvalde was Biden’s second

trip in as many weeks to console a community in loss after a mass shooting. He traveled to Buffalo, New York, on May 17 to meet with victims’ families and condemn white supremacy after a shooter espousing the racist “replacement theory” killed 10 Black people at a supermarket. Both shootings and their aftermath put a fresh spotlight on the nation’s entrenched divisions and its inability to forge consensus on actions to reduce gun violence. “Evil came to that elementary school classroom in Texas, to that grocery store in New York, to far too many places where innocents have died,” Biden said Saturday in a commencement address at the University of Delaware. “We have to stand stronger. We must stand stronger. We cannot outlaw tragedy, I know, but we can make America safer.” Biden also met with first responders before the trip back to his home in Delaware. It was not clear if the group included officers who were involved in the immediate response to the shooting. Biden visited amid mounting scrutiny of the police response. Officials revealed Friday that students and teachers repeatedly begged 911 operators for help as a police commander told more than a dozen officers to wait in a hallway. Officials said the commander believed the suspect was barricaded inside an adjoining classroom and that there was no longer an active attack. The revelation caused more grief and raised new questions about whether lives were lost because officers did not act faster to stop the gunman, who was ultimately killed by Border Patrol tactical officers. The Justice Department announced Sunday that it will review the law enforcement response and make its findings public. “It’s easy to point fingers right now,” said Ronnie Garza, a Uvalde County commissioner, on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” before adding, “Our community needs to focus on

healing right now.” Mckinzie Hinojosa, whose cousin Eliahana Torres was killed Tuesday, said she respected Biden’s decision to mourn with the people of Uvalde. “It’s more than mourning,” she said. “We want change. We want action. It continues to be something that happens over and over and over. A mass shooting happens. It’s on the news. People cry. Then it’s gone. Nobody cares. And then it happens again. And again.” “If there’s anything if I could tell Joe Biden, as it is, just to respect our community while he’s here, and I’m sure he will,” she added. “But we need change. We need to do something about it.” Authorities have said the shooter legally purchased two guns not long before the school attack: an AR-style rifle on May 17 and a second rifle on May 20. He had just turned 18, permitting him to buy the weapons under federal law. Hours after the shooting, Biden delivered an impassioned plea for additional gun control legislation, asking: “When in God’s name are we going to stand up to the gun lobby? Why are we willing to live with this carnage? Why do we keep letting this happen?” Over the years, Biden has been intimately involved in the gun control movement’s most notable successes, such as the 1994 assault weapons ban, which expired in 2004, and its most troubling disappointments, including the failure to pass new legislation after the 2012 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown,

Connecticut. As president, Biden has tried to address gun violence through executive orders. He faces few new options now, but executive action might be the best the president can do, given Washington’s sharp divisions on gun control legislation. In Congress, a bipartisan group of senators talked over the weekend to see if they could reach even a modest compromise on gun safety legislation after a decade of mostly failed efforts. Encouraging state “red flag” laws to keep guns away from those with mental health issues, and addressing school security and mental health resources were on the table, said Sen. Chris Murphy, who is leading the effort. While there is nowhere near enough support from Republicans in Congress for broader gun safety proposals popular with the public, including a new assault weapons ban or universal background checks on gun purchases, Murphy, D-Conn., told ABC’s “This Week” that these other ideas are “not insignificant.” The group will meet again this coming week under a 10-day deadline to strike a deal. “There are more Republicans interested in talking about finding a path forward this time than I have ever seen since Sandy Hook,” said Murphy who represented the Newtown area as a congressman at the time of the Sandy Hook shooting. “And while, in the end, I may end up being heartbroken, I am at the table in a more significant way right now with Republicans and Democrats than ever before.”

State News

Republican governor candidates on the issues GOP field talks Trump, Biden, ‘CRT,’ abortion and more By Jerry Nowicki

Capitol News Illinois jnowicki@capitolnewsillinois.com

SPRINGFIELD – Abortion, January 6, Donald Trump, Critical Race Theory and whether Joe Biden is rightfully the president of the United States were the basis of questions asked to a field of six Republican candidates for Illinois governor Tuesday. A pair of debates took place on two stages in Chicago due to a scheduling conflict between two TV networks, NBC 5 and WGN. NBC’s 6 p.m. debate included Aurora Mayor Richard Irvin, the polling and money frontrunner, along with former Waterloo state Sen. Paul Schimpf and suburban attorney Max Solomon. The 7 p.m. WGN debate that followed included Sen. Darren Bailey, of Xenia, Petersburg venture capitalist Jesse Sullivan and suburban paving magnate Gary Rabine. Below is a summary of some of the candidates’ response to the various debate questions.

On abortion

When pressed by moderator Mary Ann Ahern of NBC, Irvin stuck to talking points from previous media appearances on abortion, stating he is pro-life, but saying it would be “irresponsible” to comment on a leaked Supreme Court decision that could overturn Roe v. Wade. “The stand will happen once an actual draft comes down,” Irvin said, which Ahern noted could be after the primary election. He said the voters he speaks to are “upset about how JB Pritzker has been so extreme,” and he would look to reinstate a requirement that doctors notify parents 48 hours before a minor receives an abortion. He’s also said he’d support exceptions for life of the mother, rape and incest. Bailey said his only exceptions, in the unlikely circumstance he could work with lawmakers to outlaw abortion, would be for threats to the life of the mother. Otherwise, his policy would involve making abortion “unnecessary” by getting church groups involved to offer unspecified “options” to pregnant people. “We’re asking church, civic, religious groups to come alongside and offer options that the pregnant woman may not know or be aware exists,” he said. Sullivan said when he heard about the leaked Supreme Court decision, he dropped to his knees and prayed with his family, and he said he would “be the most

pro-life governor in the history of the state of Illinois.” His exceptions include rape, incest and life of the mother, he said. Schimpf said he would not necessarily push for, but would sign, “any legislation” that brings Illinois “closer to the mainstream.” Solomon said he believes “that life begins before we were formed,” and Rabine said he would allow exceptions for life of the mother, and he suggested increasing the use and funding of ultrasound machines. “I’m confident that when ... a young lady gets an ultrasound, the odds are over 80 percent that she won’t get that that abortion,” Rabine said. Any action on abortion would require action from the General Assembly that could very well maintain veto-proof supermajorities of Democrats.

On the economy

Bailey, who served on a Clay County school board for 17 years and voted at least a dozen times to raise property taxes in the district, said when it comes to education, “money is not the answer.” He said state payments to schools were unreliable at the time he served. Illinois, in 2017, adopted a new school funding formula directing more money to the neediest districts with a requirement of $350 million to be added to K-12 funding each year. Bailey didn’t identify any cuts to state government but said his plan was to implement a “zero based budget.” “That’s how we weed out the fat,” he said. “Literally in every department, we’ll hire and select men and women of common sense and business sense who will begin to dissect each agency and rebuild it.” When asked how his governorship would differ from that of previous Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner should Democrats in the General Assembly not fall in line with his plans, Bailey once again pointed to “zero based budgeting.” He also said he’d “cut all unfunded mandates from our communities and our schools.” Rauner, who came into office with a broad “turnaround agenda” aimed at reforming pensions and busting public employee unions, presided over a two-year budget impasse during which the state spent billions of dollars more than it took in. Rabine said he believes he could work with lawmakers to avoid an impasse because most lawmakers want what’s best for Illinois. “I’m a turnaround person in business,” he said. “I’m gonna turn the state around

like nobody’s ever seen before.” Sullivan said all Rauner wanted to do is “fight with Mike Madigan” and he betrayed conservative principles by signing an abortion expansion. “Well, I am a downstate Central Illinois guy, one of eight kids who grew up working on a farm. I had to split a piece of gum when I was growing up with my mom, you know, because we never could take a full piece for ourselves. And so working together with others is part of my DNA,” he said. As governor he would replace the Illinois State Board of Education, end COVID-19 executive orders and wield the veto, he said. “And then, God-willing, we are going to have veto power as governor, then we need to replace out the legislature with next generation conservatives who will change the state,” he said. Rabine said Illinois needs to “crush property taxes to being the average of the country,” although local governments, not the state, levy taxes on property. “In many cases the state has had to take on a lot of responsibility from the local community to change it,” he said without going into specifics. Sullivan claimed he could save $10 billion in the state budget, citing only a planned hiring freeze, planned pension reforms and local government consolidation. “I’m going to get out a Sharpie as big as Donald Trump’s and write veto across any new tax that comes across my desk,” Sullivan said. He didn’t directly respond as to how he would replace revenues from the grocery tax and gas tax which he said he would like to repeal. Those taxes fund local governments and road and bridge construction, respectively. Irvin, Solomon and Schimpf were asked about how they would address a racial wealth gap, and all said they needed policies that lead to economic development for all. “That’s exactly what we need to do, go around the state, we’re the sixth-largest state in the union, we got to start acting like we’re the Land of Lincoln,” Irvin said. “We got to go around this country. Go around this world, identify businesses that are a good fit with Illinois and put them in areas where we need them.” Irvin spoke in favor of business incentives and getting rid of a sales tax on motor fuel, which is levied on top of the motor fuel tax. His campaign later walked back the statement, saying he supports “capping” the sales tax on fuel. “I will never agree to raising taxes, … but what I will do is work to cut waste,

cut duplication of services and grow our economy,” Irvin said, without going into specifics. Schimpf said he would look to end that “predatory” taxation of sales tax on fuel and would insist on a balanced budget and transparency. “I will veto any legislation that is not passed in a transparent manner. That includes budgets that are drafted overnight and presented to the Illinois General Assembly without time for them to read and review,” he said.

On pensions

Most of the candidates, including Irvin, Rabine and Sullivan, said their solution to addressing Illinois’ $130 billion in unfunded pension liabilities would be a 401K style plan for new employees. When asked by the moderator, Schimpf said he was against pulling a constitutional protection clause for pensions from the Illinois Constitution, a move which requires no official action from the governor. The constitutional protection, upheld by the Supreme Court, states that pensions “shall be an enforceable contractual relationship, the benefits of which shall not be diminished or impaired.” “I love it when somebody says the answer to the pension question quickly. That’s not realistic,” Schimpf said. “Look, on the pensions, we need to remember that the reason we have this pension shortfall is because the Illinois Legislature stole from the pension funds.” He was referencing years of Illinois lawmakers spending money without making contributions to pension funds. In the 1990s, Gov. Jim Edgar signed the current plan which ramped up pension funding to about 20 percent of the state’s operating budget currently in an effort to bring pensions to 90 percent funded by 2045. Without going into specifics, Bailey said lawmakers must “come together and come up with a solution, a final fix” to preserve existing benefits for existing pensions. Solomon said Illinois needs constitutional pension reform, although he said his plan would not “touch any vested pension.” In 2011, Illinois created a second tier of pension recipients that have lesser benefits than the pensioners who joined state payrolls prior that date, including a smaller cost of living increase.

On “CRT” and schools

At the WGN debate, Bailey, Sullivan and Rabine were asked to define “CRT,” short

June 1, 2022 The Rock River Times. for Critical Race Theory. Critical race theory is an educational framework aimed at analyzing the role race plays in the legal system and American history, but it is not required in Illinois law or statewide curriculum. A state rulemaking body approved “culturally responsive teaching and leading standards” that call on Illinois colleges and universities, by 2025, to change the way prospective teachers and administrators are trained to make them more accommodating to diverse students. Those rules, which passed on partisan lines, don’t apply to K-12 curriculum. Republicans have incorrectly cited those standards as being “CRT mandates” amid nationwide Republican scrutiny of the framework. Rabine, instead of deﬁning the term, described its “biggest problem.” “From what I see, from again, nephews, nieces and the communities I’m in, is we’re teaching kids to be victims in so many ways, whether it’s their sex, their race, and it’s wrong. We have to be, we have to teach our kids to be champions and embrace themselves.” Bailey defined it as a “bunch of nonsense.” “You know what I see, I see a lot of confusion,” he said. “It wasn’t even supposed to enter our schools until 2027. But mistakenly, it’s showing up in our lower classrooms and it is, it just, it’s worksheets that are being purported by the Illinois Education Association. It’s basically an idea that whatever I think, my right could be your wrong. Your wrong could be my right.” Sullivan cited the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. “For me, the lens, the primary lens you should use to judge a person is not their racial identity. The primary basis that you should judge a person on is the content of their character,” he said. “We need to be doing more civics lessons for our teachers so that we can have a love of country

rather than looking at and saying we have institutional racism built into the design of our country. That is not what we have.” The NBC debate did not touch on CRT, but Solomon said parents should be writing curriculum, Irvin said parents and local school boards should be writing curriculum, and Schimpf said it should be done by locally elected school boards. “Parents should not be the ones writing curriculum,” Schimpf said. “They should have the input to hold local school boards accountable, but it needs to be local school boards that decide curriculum.” Sullivan said the state needs a “parents’ bill of rights” regarding education. The Republicans, including Irvin, said they would also like to replace members of the Illinois State Board of Education. Schimpf said he believed school administration should be consolidated, rather than consolidating school districts, adding, “children should be one of the priority spending areas.” The Republicans all opposed teaching “sexuality” in schools in response to questions apparently regarding a recent state law requiring schools that have a sexual education curriculum to abide by National Sex Education Standards, an initiative by non-government organizations to provide “guidance on essential minimum core content and skills needed for sex education that is age-appropriate.” The guidelines, for example, call on students, by the end of second grade, to be able to identify and medically name parts of the human body, including genitals, and be able to deﬁne gender, gender identity, and gender roles. But all parents would still have a right to pull their students from sex education courses and schools that don’t o�er sex ed would not be required to do so. “This is something that if you talk to any police o�cer, a sheri� of any county, this has been looked upon as child pornography three years ago,” Rabine said without citing

On Trump, Jan. 6, BLM

At the NBC debate, Irvin, Schimpf and Solomon were asked on a “yes or no” basis whether they thought Joe Biden rightfully won the presidential election in 2020. Schimpf said yes, Solomon said no, and Irvin responded “Joe Biden’s the president,” answering “yes” only when pressed by the moderator. Schimpf and Solomon said they did not believe the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 was an insurrection. Irvin said he didn’t believe it was a “yes or no” question and instead said those who broke the law should be prosecuted. On whether they voted for President Donald Trump in 2020, Solomon and Schimpf said they did, and Irvin repeated a talking point that in general elections, he votes Republican. Text messages from 2018 obtained by WTTW-TV in Chicago from Irvin to an Aurora city worker showed Irvin calling Trump a “bigot” and “racist.” Irvin, whose campaign has sent mailers aiming to tie Sullivan and Bailey Democrats and being “never Trumpers,” said once again talking about who he voted for is “exactly what JB Pritzker wants to be talking about.” When the moderator pressed, Irvin said voters talk to him about crime and taxes. “What I think voters are looking for is simply candidates that are going to answer questions and this is not a tough question,” Schimpf said after Irvin’s response. “I voted for President Trump. … I wish he had done some things di�erently. But I do not regret that vote. He was a better choice than Joe Biden.” Asked if they supported Black Lives Matter, Solomon said no, Schimpf said no but clariﬁed that he believes in the statement but not the organization behind it, and Irvin responded that “all lives matter,” and “Black lives have to be included in all lives.”

On COVID-19

At the NBC debate, Irvin, Schimpf and Solomon said they would not reinstate mask mandates if an uptick in COVID-19 cases occurred. While Irvin said as Aurora mayor, his office communicated that businesses should comply with the statewide mask mandate and “no one was ever ﬁred or disciplined for ensuring that we just kept ourselves healthy.” As to whether they would shut down schools amid a COVID-19 uptick, Solomon said no and Schimpf and Irvin said local school boards should be making those decisions. At the WGN debate, Sullivan, Bailey and Rabine were asked what they would have done in March 2020 at the COVID-19 outset. Sullivan said he would have treated the pandemic more like Florida did. “(Gov. JB Pritzker) harmed our small business owners. He shut them down without thought. He doesn’t understand how hard it is to set up a business and put your livelihood on the line,” Sullivan said. “Young kids in school, he made our most vulnerable su�er the most.” Rabine said he would have kept businesses, churches and schools open. Bailey touted his lawsuits against mask mandates which catapulted him to statewide notoriety. A Clay County judge ruled in his favor before the decision was thrown out at the appellate level. “Gov. Pritzker’s tyrannical actions have destroyed lives. He’s … destroyed the futures of some of our children in schools. This is absolute nonsense and it can never happen again,” he said.

The rise in energy prices began when production fell from its high point in November, 2018. Two years of covid lockdowns prevented oil reserves from being brought into production leaving prices to rise as economic activity picked up. Historically when oil prices rose too high for consumers, demand fell and oil prices did as well. Given the historic trend, it is commonly assumed that prices will fall once again. If lower cost sources of oil are found and developed, the oil based economy is likely to continue and intensify environmental concerns. The challenges of high energy prices is intensified by the war in Ukraine and the economic sanctions imposed on Russia. If no cheaper sources of oil are found in sufficient volume the economy will have to adjust to the new energy reality. For years incomes have fallen behind inflation and people are having difficulty paying their bills. If cutting back on discretionary spending doesn’t solve their financial problem people may cut back on necessities including lighting, heating, cooling, medicine and food. Economic sanctions on Russia are already having an adverse impact on Western European economies which could become worse if oil and natural gas supplies stop flowing to them. Since fertilizer supplies are also limited by the sanctions it is expected that grain shortages will become apparent if fall harvests fall below national and global needs. Another adverse economic impact will result from the shortage of diesel fuel. Prices are already at historic highs adding to the costs of goods and services. The transportation sector is powered by diesel engines in ships, tankers, trains and trucks. Heavy duty diesel engines power agriculture, mining, logging

construction, garbage and cement. The book by Alice Freedman When the trucks stop running: Energy and the Future of Transportation details the importance of diesel engines to the global economy. As oil continues its decline she doubts that political leadership, long term planning and massive funding essential to maintaining the global freight transportation will occur. As global economic activity recovered following the global lockdown it increased the demand for diesel, heating oil and jet fuel. They are derived from oil and as the price of oil rises so do theirs. The proposed European ban on oil imports from Russia would exacerbate the problem. Oil refining capacity in the United States has decreased in recent years leading to a spike in the costs of these fuel sources. Some relief is in sight as some refineries and being reworked to produce biodiesel fuel. From the perspective of the fossil fuel industry, rising oil prices are providing funds to invest in new fossil fuel supplies which increases our dependence on them. From an environmental perspective a push to reinvigorate the fossil fuel economy will delay the transition to cleaner energy sources and add to the intensity of climate change. The rise in energy prices and shortage of supplies combined with rising interest rates has set the economy up for a recession of unknown intensity and length. We appear to be entering some tough economic times which are likely to increase social and political tensions requiring considerable political skills to navigate through them. It also presents us with the opportunity to continue to invest in cleaner energy sources and reinvigorate our local economies by using less energy and using it more efficiently while producing more of it locally.
