DuPage County elects ‘Flat Tax’ over alternative Mazzochi retains seat; Casten beats Ives; Lewis wins over Pappas

By Dee Longfellow

FOR THE INDEPENDENT

At 11 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 4, with 100% of precincts reporting, the Presidential race had already been declared for Joe Biden in the state of Illinois by many national media outlets. Still the final tally across the nation was not complete at that time.

Village provides additional relief to local restaurants, small businesses

In an effort to provide additional relief to Bensenville restaurants and small businesses, Village President Frank DeSimone and the Village Board of Trustees will temporarily reduce the cost of liquor license renewals by 50 percent for 2021.

In addition, there is no increase to property taxes in Bensenville’s 2021 budget.

“COVID-19 has presented many financial hurdles for business owners in Bensenville and across the nation during the last eight months,” said Village President Frank DeSimone.

“While we know this is a challenging time for everyone, we are committed to supporting our local small businesses and restaurants more than ever. We hope the liquor renewal fee reduction and holding property taxes flat will provide some much needed relief while we continue the fight against COVID-19.”

While DuPage County has typically leaned toward Republican candidates, Democrat Biden received 276,902 votes to President Donald Trump’s 191,618. At press time, the Republican president was still planning to contest the results.

the seat he had held previously. But incumbent Terra Costa Howard received in excess of 53% of the total, winning by more than 4,500 votes.

Even with their Cook County portions, Quigley and Krishnamoorthi both retained their seats.

Propositions One of the most hotly-contested races was the Constitutional Amendment about income tax rates, also known as the “Fair Tax vs. Flat Tax” vote. In DuPage County, almost 60% of voters said “No,” preferring not to make a change but rather to retain a flat tax in Illinois. At press time, the vote was 216,912 to 194,918.

With graduated tax failure, ‘there will be cuts, and they will be painful,’ governor says ‘Everything is on the table’ in addressing fiscal challenges

CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS

Backers of a graduated income tax constitutional amendment conceded defeat for Gov. JB Pritzker’s marquee policy proposal which was projected to bring in more than $3 billion annually to state coffers.

With 98 percent of precincts reporting, voters had rejected the amendment by a 55 percent to 45 percent margin. The Associated

COVID-19 updates for DuPage County As of 8 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 8, there were 28,230 total cases among DuPage County residents, including 636 deaths.

Since Saturday, there were 777 new cases and three death related to COVID-19, a female in her 60s, a male in his 60s and a female in her 90s.

The DuPage Health Department announced that there were delays with the Illinois Department of Public Health and therefore, today’s data is incomplete.

Number of cases by town At press time, the DuPage Department of Health reported the following number of COVID-19 cases in our readership communities as follows: Addison 1,954, Bensenville 1100, Elmhurst 1,422, Lombard 1392, Oakbrook Terrace 89, Villa Park 848, Wood Dale 615.

And now for the good news Elmhurst Hospital reports that 36 inpatients with confirmed cases of COVID-19 were discharged last week. Since March 24, a total of 690 patients have been discharged.

Press called the race for the “No” camp, as a large number of outstanding mail ballots were almost certainly not enough to make up for the deficit of approximately 500,000 votes.

In his daily COVID-19 briefing in Chicago Nov. 4, an agitated Pritzker lashed out against the Republican Party, warned of cuts to public safety and human services and said several other options were on the table for addressing state budget deficits that have been ongoing for decades.

“Illinois’ fiscal problems haven’t gone away. We now sit at a crossroads,” Pritzker said. “Our state finances still require fundamental structural change. In the coming days I’ll be talking with the leaders in the General Assembly about our path forward. But here’s what we know for sure: I promised to be a governor who balances the budget and pays the bills that my predecessor left behind. I promised to make sure that our kids get a good education, that we invest in job creation and that we build a better future for Illinois. There will be cuts, and they will be painful.”

The failure of the amendment marks the end of a fight led by Pritzker which began legislatively in April 2019 and even before that politically when Pritzker was running for governor in 2017 and 2018.

Pritzker spent $58 million of his own personal fortune to promote the amendment, while billionaire Republican donor Ken Griffin, the state’s wealthiest person and founder of the hedge fund Citadel, dropped more than $53 million into an effort to defeat the tax change.

The governor had billed the graduated income tax proposal—which would have imposed higher tax rates on higher income earners—as the best of three options, the others being a 20 percent increase to the state’s flat tax or 15 percent acrossthe-board cuts to state spending.

But he has also frequently warned that discretionary spending has already been reduced drastically in

Fenton music students selected for IMEA District honors

Ten choir students and one band student from Fenton High School were selected to perform in the Illinois Music Education Association District 1 honors ensembles, which takes place virtually on Saturday, Nov. 21.

In addition to the regional prestige, those students could also be selected for the All-State ensembles and/or All-State Honors ensembles. Our Fenton students were chosen out of more than 2,500 Chicago area high school music students who auditioned.

Anna Micor was selected to the District 1 band for Flute and Piccolo.

several areas in recent years due to a two-year state budget impasse in which the state racked up a $16 billion backlog of unpaid bills. As of Nov. 4, the Illinois Comptroller’s office estimated that backlog at $8.3 billion.

“My predecessor, Gov. Rauner, tried to drag the state underwater with painful and draconian cuts that in the end were blocked by both Republicans and Democrats,” Pritzker said. “His approach devastated higher education, child care, human services, and hollowed out state agencies like those that manage public health and unemployment benefits, all while adding billions of dollars of debt on to our bill backlog.”

The impasse occurred beginning in July 2015, lasting 736 days, after lawmakers allowed a temporary income tax hike to expire which decreased the individual income tax rate from 5 percent to 3.75 percent. That reduced state revenues by about $4.5 billion, but in the absence of a state budget targeting cuts in spending for two years afterward, the state continued to spend at a rate far outpacing revenues. As a result, many agencies, public schools and universities all eventually saw drastic drops in funding as obligated state expenditures took precedence.

“If you set aside federally protected programs, court ordered obligations and our bond and pension debt, we would have to reduce discretionary spending in our state by

approximately 15 percent,” the governor said. “That’s 15 percent fewer state troopers. That’s 15 percent fewer students going to college, 15 percent fewer working parents receiving child care assistance and 15 percent less money for your local public schools, which likely means that your property taxes will increase.

“You could call this the republican approach option to raise revenue within our current regressive flat tax system and impose a higher flat tax which falls disproportionately on the working poor and the middle class.”

Complicating matters is a global pandemic that has ripped a hole in state finances. Even before COVID-19 redefined the state’s revenue picture, Pritzker had pegged the state’s structural, year-after-year budget deficit at about $3.2 billion.

Considering lost revenues due to COVID-19 and associated economic restrictions, that deficit could exceed $7 billion with the graduated tax’s failure, Pritzker predicted in April.

In September, Pritzker directed state agency directors to prepare for cuts of up to 5 percent for the current fiscal year and 10 percent next fiscal year, which begins July 1.

On Sept. 24, Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton said lawmakers “will be forced to consider raising income taxes on all Illinois residents by at least 20 percent, regardless of their

level of income” if the graduated income tax fails. That would push the current tax rate to about 6 percent, and would require a simple majority vote in a Legislature dominated

by Democrats as well as a signature from the governor.

The state’s path forward could include some combination of cuts and tax increases, as well as borrowing from the federal government’s Municipal Liquidity Facility program which was authorized in the state’s budget for fiscal year 2021.

“Everything is on the table,” Pritzker said.

Pritzker has also frequently urged the federal government to pass a COVID-19 stimulus package providing aid to states but talks had stalled between Democrats in the House and Republicans in the Senate and White House prior to the election.

Some who lobbied against the amendment, including libertarian-leaning think tank Illinois Policy Institute, which was once closely tied to Republican former Gov. Bruce Rauner, have suggested the results demonstrate a need for structural pension reform.

Annually, payments to the state’s pension liabilities—which exceed $137 billion—account for 20 percent or more of the state’s operating budget. That’s more than $8 billion total general revenue fund spending

Residents recycle Halloween pumpkins at family event Each year more than 1 billion pounds of pumpkins end up in landfills across America.

As pumpkins and other food waste decompose, methane gas, a greenhouse gas 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide, is released into the air and pollutes our environment.

Today, in an effort to keep pumpkins out of the landfills and reduce the amounts of harmful gases being released into our environment, the Village of Bensenville’s Public Works Department partnered with SCARCE, an environmental education non-profit, to host a pumpkin smash recycling event.

“Not only did this event give our residents something safe and fun to do with their families, but it gave them an opportunity to do something for the environment as well,” said Village President Frank DeSimone.

“Even during the pandemic, we will continue to prioritize offering safe services to our residents.”

Participants were required to wear masks and remain socially distant throughout the entire event.

Each car could either chuck or smash their pumpkin into a dumpster, or park and smash their pumpkins themselves.

“Each year we like to invite our alumni and their children back on campus for a fun, casual get-together,” said President Jim Segredo.

“This year we realized that a drivein movie was the way to go!”

The school typically holds a Winter Family Fest event in January, hosted by the Alumni Committee, however, with Illinois regulations stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, it is still unknown whether or not the event will take place.

“We look forward to these events every year,” said Segredo. “It’s great to have an opportunity to reconnect with our alumni and their children and create these special memories!”

So, the election should be over by the time we read this.

No matter which way it went, we need to start becoming “one nation, under God, with liberty and justice for all” of us. Some of us will be very unhappy, some will be happy, and maybe the majority of us will wonder what the next four years will be like for the U.S. The most important role for all of us is to respect each other, each other’s ideas, and know that this great nation was created to help so much of our world. We have been doing just that for decades, as we are the most blest people on earth.

No matter your faith background, or maybe no faith at all, we know we are fortunate to live in these United States of America. And united we must be to stay as a free people—free to live and worship when and where we choose.

This is not a worldwide concept or right. It is an American privilege.

Larry Hebert Villa Park

(Continued from page 7)

Please quit lecturing. You who believe masks are the weapon of a controlling government. I hear your pain.

You who believe masks save lives. I hear your quest. But I do not want to be lectured on the subject from either of your well-intended, strongly-felt sides.

Lectures were meant for college. We paid for them then, but don’t want them for free now. Social media is full of cut-and-pasted long (long!) posts regarding masks.

These posts are filled with quotes from experts. They are meant to sway your opinion regarding this subject.

By and large, they fail. Pro mask wearers will not change their opinion based on an anti-mask post and vice versa. Please quit copy and pasting ideas written by others. If you want to create a post filled with your own words (much like I did with this column) I welcome your thoughts. But don’t simply rely on the words (and ideas) of others – no matter how eloquent.

And please, if it sounds like a lecture, it probably is.

With that, I apologize for this column. I’m lecturing against lectures while I likely lecture; I acknowledge that.

My intention is not to sway you to one side or another.

You can keep your side and your mask or lack thereof.

My intention is to bring us together. Because beyond masks, beyond lectures, beyond COVID, beyond our own personal beliefs and opinions, we all need to come together now more than ever before. Let’s support each other, not tear one another down. Our country was built on differing beliefs and opinions.

Let’s not lose sight of that. Take care everyone. Stay safe.

Local high schools remain in limbo regarding status of fast-approaching basketball season Movement throughout the state to cancel/postpone

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

Bronco from Villa Park earns academic allconference status

Montini Catholic High School in Lombard recently announced that 24 of its student-athletes achieved Girls Catholic Athletic Conference (GCAC) Academic All-Conference honors during the 2020 fall season.

Competing in three sports (cross-country, golf and tennis), the 24 Broncos earned the all-conference distinction by holding a grade-point average of at least 3.0 for a complete academic quarter during the fall season.

The members of Montini’s girls cross-country team to earn GCAC Academic AllConference accolades include junior Audrey Kekstadt (No. 236-above) of Villa Park. “We are quite proud of these exceptional athletes,” noted Montini athletic director Tom Lentine in a statement honoring the school’s recent GCAC Academic All-Conference recipients.

“They truly set an example for our entire student body with their ability to manage their academic and athletic schedules while securing excellent grades.”

As of press time, high schools in the Independent’s coverage area remained in a holding pattern on the topic of whether or not to pull the trigger and start the boys and girls basketball seasons on time.

Practices for boys and girls basketball, according to the Illinois High School Association’s COVID-19-adjusted calendar, are scheduled to start Nov. 16.

However, schools throughout the state have been left to decide whether or not to proceed with the season with the Illinois Department of Public Health and the IHSA at loggerheads on whether or not to play basketball at this current stage of the pandemic.

The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) recently elevated basketball to its high-risk sport category, meaning only non-contact practices and trainings can occur (with parental permission) and no contests can be staged. The IHSA followed with

its ruling that, based on guidance from its Sports Medicine Advisory Committee, the season is OK to start on time, but with the caveat that each school is responsible for making the call on whether or not to proceed.

York High School athletic director Rob Wagner provided the Independent with Elmhurst Community Unit School District 205’s position on the topic, which included reference to further communication being disseminated earlier this week.

“Concerning athletics, District 205 has received guidance from its insurer to follow the governor’s and Illinois Department of Health’s direction categorizing basketball as a high-risk sport and prohibiting basketball competition this winter,” the statement read. “The Illinois High School Association has decided to move ahead with basketball as a winter sport, in conflict with the Governor’s and IDPH’s direction. The district is awaiting guidance from its attorneys and information on this issue.”

York Principal Dr. Shahe Bagdasarian confirmed that York anticipates having a decision on winter athletics, including basketball, sometime this week. Girls bowling, boys swimming, cheerleading, dance and girls gymnastics also are slated to kick off practices Nov. 16 as low-risk sports (ending on Feb. 13). Wrestling, also categorized as a high-risk sport by IDPH, has been shifted back to a summer sport (starting April 19, 2021).

No status change was reported at either IC Catholic Prep or Timothy Christian. IC Catholic Prep athletic director Michael Fahey told the Independent the school continues to wait on a ruling from the Joliet Diocese on whether or not basketball can proceed.

Of note, as it relates to IC Catholic Prep, the Rockford Diocese, which encompasses Elgin St. Edward, Woodstock Marian Central Catholic, Rockford Boylan, Freeport Aquin, Sterling Newman Catholic and Aurora Central Catholic, said last week

Warriors earn academic all-conference status

the boys and girls basketball seasons for those schools have been voided for the proposed winter season.

“The recent decision by the Illinois High School Association to move forward with the 2020-21 high school girls and boys basketball seasons beginning Nov. 16 without the support and endorsement of the Illinois Department of Public Health and the Illinois State Board of Education, and which would be in violation of the governor’s order prohibiting basketball practice and games, leaves our Diocesan high schools in a difficult and vulnerable position,” Rockford Diocese Superintendent of Schools Michael M. Kagan wrote in a letter to the schools. “Therefore, we are informing you our six central Catholic high schools will not be participating in the IHSA season 2020-21.”

Fahey told the Independent he anticipated a hearing from the Joliet Diocese either late last week or early

Willowbrook High School recently announced its student-athletes who achieved West Suburban Gold Conference Academic All-Conference honors during the 2020 fall season. The honorees included four seniors on the boys cross-country team—Tyler King (No. 703), Nick Leo (No. 705), Thomas Florey (701) and Mike Stout (No. 9131). King and Leo were the team’s co-captains. Additionally, King earned All-Conference honors by placing among the top 16 finishers at the West Suburban Gold Conference Meet on Oct. 17. King ran to a 13th-place finish in the 3.06-mile race at the conference meet, which took place on the course at Proviso West High School. Stout is pictured during the conference meet. King, Leo and Florey are pictured during the Warriors’ final meet of the season, which was also at Proviso West. Willowbrook finished its season by competing in the IHSA Class 3A Proviso West Regional on Oct. 24.

Messages late last week to multiple administrators at Willowbrook and Fenton in Bensenville seeking an update on those schools’ positions were not returned.

Schools from around the state have started making their positions known.

Up north, Community School District 128, which includes Libertyville and Vernon Hills high schools, made the same decision to follow the state/ governor rulings and not the IHSA’s, instead choosing to conduct basketball when the state gives the OK.

(Continued from page 3) that will go to the state’s five pension funds this fiscal year.

But reforms to the pension system passed by lawmakers in 2013 were unanimously struck down by the state Supreme Court in 2015, and any major changes would also require an amendment to the Illinois Constitution, which currently protects existing pension benefits from being diminished.

Legislative Democrats have thus far not shown an appetite for such reforms, however, and three-fifths majorities in each chamber of the General Assembly would need to vote on the measure before it could be put to voters.

The opposition campaign also centered on the trustworthiness of state politicians and the possibility that the amendment would make it politically easier to raise a retirement tax on portions of the electorate, even though that was never proposed and the amendment would not have changed the vote threshold needed to tax retirement income.

“It is clear that Illinoisans do not trust this legislature and this administration to spend more of their precious tax dollars without restraint,” Illinois Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Todd Maisch said in a statement. “We believe we’re on our way to hearing from the electorate that Illinois needs a lot more than tax increases to fix our economy. Illinoisans have made their voices heard and want a plan for rescuing our state that is not just raise taxes, raise taxes and raise taxes some more.”

Pritzker addressed pensions and trust in government as well.

“I’m going to continue to make sure that we’re paying the pensions that are owed to people and that we don’t tax retirement income. I will stand Foursquare against any tax on retirement,” he said.

Christian in Yorkville plan to start the season on Nov. 16, while Kankakee High School said it will start practice Nov. 16 but put any competitions on hold. Sherrard High School, south of Davenport, Iowa, also voted to start its season Nov. 16, as did Lewiston (east of Macomb in western Illinois) and Lena-Winslow (west of Rockford).

The Chicago Sun-Times reported late last week that more than 150 schools in the state have opted out of starting Nov. 16. The newspaper

added the IHSA recently sent out a survey to schools that included a question if they would be in favor of moving back the season.

The continued back-and-forth rages on as the state further regresses in its COVID-19 recovery. Several days last week, positive test results throughout the state registered in five figures with positivity rates skyrocketing into double figures multiple times during the same timeframe —inching the state closer to further COVID-19 restrictions.
