SENATE WEEK IN REVIEW June 8-12

SPRINGFIELD – Democratic legislative leaders continue to embrace the status quo, refusing to discuss job-creating, economy-boosting reforms, and focusing instead on tax increases as a way to balance the state budget.

Comptroller weighs-in on budget impasse

As legislative leaders and

common ground, Comptroller Leslie Munger outlined how a failure to reach a

By State Sen. Tim Bivins, 45th District

budget agreement by July 1 will impact residents and organizations throughout the state. Munger echoed the governor’s calls for reform, saying that these structural changes are critical to making the state more competitive and should come before any discussion about new revenue.

While the comptroller said the state will continue to make payments authorized includes the state’s existing $5 billion backlog, she will not have the appropriations authority to make new payments beginning in the new This could result in delayed payments to Medicaid providers, and beginning July 15 she would be unable to issue paychecks for state employees.

Munger noted that not all payments would automati-

cally cease. Debt payments and payments for pension continue, as well as checks for some programs that provide assistance for needy families, senior citizens and the blind. Certain payments to local governments also would continue.

Political gridlock blocks reform

On June 9, the Senate convened a rare Committee of the Whole hearing, inviting testimony from tax experts and education and local government representatives.

Illinois taxpayers —those most dramatically impacted by high property taxes — were notably absent from the panel.

Illinois has some of the nation’s highest property taxes. The Tax Foundation and the Taxpayers’ Federation of Illinois’ latest study

shows that over a 5-year period, Illinois had the third-highest residential property tax rate in the nation, behind only New Jersey and New Hampshire.

Other recent studies show Illinois having the secondhighest property tax rates in the nation.

Property tax relief is critical to keeping more families the state. Senate Bill 1046 is founded in Gov. Bruce Rauner’s plan to freeze property taxes, allowing residents to choose through referendum whether they want to increase taxes for education, libraries or other services. The proposal also would directly address several of the contributing factors to high costs at the local level.

However, Senate Democrats rejected SB1046, and have so far refused to work

with the governor and their Republican counterparts on compromise legislation.

The Senate Judiciary Committee also met June 9 to discuss workers’ compensation legislation being pushed by the House speaker.

Codifying what already is law and making no real reforms, House Bill 1287 fails to address the issues that contribute to Illinois having the seventh-highest workers’ compensation rates in the nation — a distinction employers say increases their costs and drives jobs out of Illinois.

Rauner’s proposal, SB994, is a more effective option that would have reduced workers’ compensation rates for businesses by instituting a number of reforms, including a provision that would ensure the workplace is the major contributing cause of the injury.

n behalf of the Women’s Committee, I would like to thank all of those donated at our blood drive June 8. This drive with the Rock River Valley Blood Center, and it worked out great.

Some of you may remember we used to have an Adopted Legislator – a legislator from Chicago or one of the collar counties “adopted” by a rural County Farm Bureau to teach them about rural life. We have not had an adopted legislator in many years, since our former House legislator became a member of the U.S. House.

I just received a call last

Kenaf: Crop alternative for northwestern Illinois?

TKocal@prairieadvocate.com

LANARK – Agriculture is the number one industry in Illinois. The state always is at the top of the list in hay, corn and soybean production, and leads the nation in pumpkin and horseradish production.

A Kentucky businessman thinks kenaf could be Illinois’ next super crop.

Martin Smith, owner of United Global Co-Opportunities, hopes to create jobs and economic prosperity in the United States and in Third World equatorial

plant native to east-central Africa that’s used for food

rope, twine, and rugs.

It’s a sustainable crop that requires little to no herbicides, pesticides or maintenance. It grows about a foot a week, and, unlike industrial hemp, is noninvasive in the U.S. It absorbs high levels of carbon dioxide from the air, and can be

sewage treatment and soil improvement.

Kenaf was introduced in parts of the U.S. in the late

paper pulp.

To learn more For more information about kenaf, contact Martin Smith, owner of United Global CoOpportunities, at Martin@kyregistered.com or 502-320-1952.

As part of an effort to make vehicles more sustainable, Ford and BMW are using kenaf in automobile tion was in the 2013 Ford Escape. The BMW i3 uses kenaf in its black surrounds.

Kenaf’s use is expected to offset 300,000 pounds of oil-based resin a year in North America and should reduce the weight of door bolsters by 25 percent.

Smith was in northwestern Illinois recently to discuss kenaf with area farmers and dairy/beef producers.

He hopes to get farmers to plant kenaf as an alternative crop to corn and soybeans.

Tests in Kentucky have determined that cattle preferred kenaf and received higher nutritional value from it than from hay or corn silage; that it is easy to digest; and that, because of will eat less, he said.

“Kenaf can be planted in areas with poor soil conditions, making acreage

that can’t be used highly productive. Because of its low maintenance and high yields, it would be a costeffective alternative,” Smith said.

In addition, kenaf will prowood pulp that a 27-year stand of cultivated pines in one growing season, he said.

The problem is, “kenaf wants to grow in long light, like near the equator,” he said. “In America, it’s not able to produce a seed.

“The Third World countries that are able to develop the seed ... will be able to pay for agriculture and manufacturing equipment through us consuming their seed, ... which allows us – an industrialized nation – to pursue economic development with a nonindustrialized nation, buying their seed to grow here in the U.S., and developing technologies that liberate both of us.

“Some places near the equator have two or three growing seasons. They could produce electricity, gasoline, and diesel fuel cheaper, quicker, and better than we can as an industrialized nation, simply by the nature of the plant,” he said.

The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pickup substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.

Contaminants that may be present in source water include: Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife.

IL 0150300

Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPAs Safe Drinking Water Hotline at (800) 426-4791.

In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. FDA regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health.

Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population.

Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban storm or other immune system disorders, some elderly and infants can be particularly at risk from water runoff, and residential uses. infections.

CHADWICK & MILLEDGEVILLE

Chadwick Eagle Scout shoots for disc golf project

By TOM KOCAL Prairie Advocate TKocal@prairieadvocate.com

MILLEDGEVILLE – Nathan Merema understands that the journey to become an Eagle Scout takes time and dedication.

The Chadwick 16-yearold has taken on an Eagle Scout project – a 9-hole disc golf course for the Milledgeville Park District – with his eyes wide open, knowing that although it will not be easy, it will be rewarding for his school and village park district – and for himself.

Merema has been a member of the ChadwickMilledgeville Scout Troop 55 since he was a 6-year-old Cub Scout. Eagle Scout is the highest rank attain-

able in the Boy Scouts of America. Besides earning at least 21 merit badges and living the Boy Scout Oath and Law through service and leadership, Merema must complete plan, organize, lead, and manage a service project.

Once the project is presented with a medal and a badge that recognizes his accomplishments.

He explained his project at a Milledgeville Park District meeting in November, and received permission from the board. He then approached the village board to help seek permission from the Boy Scout Council to make this his Eagle Scout project.

Once approval was granted, Merema started to

With 24 merit badges so far, Nathan Merema is on his way to completing his ultimate goal of attaining Eagle Scout status with a disc golf course project. (supplied photo) collect donations to make the project a reality. The permanent course will be

set up behind the Milledgeville school.

“The main reason I want to build it is because at school, our Frisbee section of gym is throwing a disc into a garbage can, which isn’t fun. This will allow us to go outdoors and use the course for a school class,” he said.

“Disc golf is just like regular golf, but instead of a ball, you throw a disc, like a Frisbee, into a basket,” Merema said.

“The course is designed with most holes being par 3 to 5, and obstacles will be mainly trees.

“I wanted to develop a disc golf course because I thought that it would be a way to bring people to Milledgeville, since disc golf is a popular thing,”

125 East Main Street

Merema said. “It is a good family and friend outdoor activity.”

The project will cost about $5,000, including baskets, posts, tees, cement and signs. About half has been raised, and nine hole and tee sponsorships will cover the remaining $2,500, and then some.

“If your organization, church, memorial or group would donate $350, I would place a name plate on the hole recognizing your contribution,” Merema

said. “I have several holes still needing a sponsor.

However, any monetary donations for this project would also be greatly appreciated and will help me complete the project by Labor Day.” To make a contribution or to become a hole sponsor, send a check, made out to Troop 55, to Nathan Merema, 203 Calvert Ave., Chadwick, IL 61014.
