State’s Attorney’s Office announces agency that will manage gun violence prevention initiative program

On November 3, the Lake County State’s Attor ney’s Office announced the selection of the Coalition to Reduce Recidivism and Waukegan Township as the agency that will manage the Gun Violence Preven tion Initiative’s (GVPI) vi olence interrupter program. The funds that are being provided to the Coalition to Reduce Recidivism and Waukegan Township from the LCSAO’s GVPI will be used to hire a program manager and 3 teams of in terrupters who will work pri marily in Waukegan, North Chicago, and Zion.

Lake County State’s At torney Eric Rinehart stated, “This selection is critical to the short-term safety and long-term security of our communities in Lake Coun ty. Through our local, state, and federal grants, we are building a program that will last for years. We are so thrilled to be partnering with the Coalition, which has a track record of success in all Lake County communities.”

Waukegan Township Su pervisor Marc Jones stated, “With the influx of violence - specifically gun violence - plaguing our communi ties, we would first like to acknowledge Lake County State’s Attorney Rinehart for his forward-thinking approach. We collective ly agree that the responsi

bility to act belongs to each of us, and the time is now.

Waukegan Township and the Coalition to Reduce Recidi vism, are extremely humbled and excited for the opportu nity to serve as fiscal agents and administrators for the GVPI. The intentions of the GVPI are in alignment with the overall objective of the Coalition to Reduce Recid ivism, particularly due to the provision of necessary resources and wrap-around services, essential in lessen ing violent crimes. As life long Lake County residents, we fully believe this is a legacy building opportunity, not only impacting those of us here today, but creating and sustaining a viable and impactful program for gen erations to come.”

On June 3, 2022, the Lake County State’s Attorney an nounced the formation of the GVPI and invited communi ty organizations to submit proposals to manage teams of violence interrupters. In collaboration with law enforcement, educational leaders, and other commu nity-based organizations, the GVPI will address the long-term root causes of gun violence. At the same time, the interrupters will rapid ly address and de-escalate the day-to-day gun violence that has been increasing since 2017 in Lake County.

One of the leaders in the

formation of the GVPI and the Chair of Implementation, Sara Knizhnik, stated, “The GVPI is founded on the clear knowledge that we must pri oritize ending the gun vio lence that happens every day in our most vulnerable com munities. By putting profes sional violence interrupters at the center of the work and then building an infrastruc ture of support around them to address root causes of gun violence, we will make all residents of Lake County safer.”

Rinehart noted that the GVPI was made possible with an initial investment by the Lake County Board through an ARPA alloca tion and with the additional funding support provided through budget legislation from State Representative Rita Mayfield and Sena tor Adriane Johnson. The funding will provide for a program manager, a youth outreach coordinator, 13 in terrupters, and technical as sistance from national train ing programs.

The GVPI will also be aided by Marcus McAllis ter, a nationally renowned interrupter trainer and Lake County resident. McAllister has been integral in setting up dozens of violence inter rupter programs throughout the country for nearly 20 years.

McAllister stated, “The

opportunity to work in the community that I call home to reduce gun violence is dear to my heart. I have helped numerous organiza tions throughout the country launch successful violence

interrupter programs. I ex pect nothing less here, espe cially with the broad support that the GVPI is providing, and the strong community relationships built by the Coalition to Reduce Recidi

vism and the Township.” Township and Coalition personnel request that in dividuals interested in the interrupter position send all inquiries to tsprings@ waukegantownship.com.

Illinois Democrats maintain control of all levers of state government

Achieve double-digit victories for statewide offices, strengthen Supreme Court majority

By Jerry Nowicki

CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS

As votes continued to be tallied last week, returns showed Illinois Democrats would hold every statewide elected office and maintain supermajorities in the Gener al Assembly while extending their majority on the Illinois Supreme Court.

After a fiery election night speech in which Gov. JB Pritzker excoriated the Re publican Party as “unwilling to expel the extremists in their midst,” he gave a news con ference about his plans for a second term last week at the Marriott Marquis hotel in Chicago that was the site of his election night party.

“The election was a chance for Illinoisans to decide who we want to be,” Pritzker said, citing his administration’s ac ceptance of asylum seekers, support for mental health and substance use treatment, pro tection of women’s rights, civ il rights and voting rights, and renewable energy policies.

“Well, Illinoisans made their decision—a decision that we should be a beacon of hope and opportunity and car ing,” he added.

Pritzker’s second-term task will be made easier by the success of Democrats in the General Assembly.

In the Senate, it appeared Republicans would gain at

least two seats, decreasing the Democratic supermajority from 41 members to 38-20, with at least one race too close to call.

Senate Minority Leader Dan McConchie, R-Haw thorn Woods, celebrated the wins but lamented that they were gained through a “rigged system,” a reference to Demo crats’ recent redrawing of dis trict lines to maximize their chances of maintaining their majorities.

“Thousands of voters across the state have said ‘enough’ to the Democrats’ call for more power. Thanks to their resiliency, the Illinois Senate will be adding to the strength of the caucus and will continue to serve as strong voices for the people of Illi nois, who are dissatisfied with the failed policies that have come out of Springfield and want to see change,” he said.

Republicans had viewed taking the state Supreme Court as their best bet at en acting redistricting reform for future elections, but the two seats that were up for vote both went to Democrats.

Judge Elizabeth Rochford defeated former Lake Coun ty Sheriff Mark Curran in the 2nd District by nearly nine percentage points. Mary Kay O’Brien, in the 3rd District, led by about 8,000 votes over Republican incumbent Mi

chael Burke. Her campaign said on Twitter that Burke had conceded.

That would put the court majority at 5-2 in favor of Democrats and would cre ate the first majority-woman court, also by 5-2 margins.

As of midweek last week, Democrats appeared poised to extend their supermajority from 73 of the 118 members of the House of Representa tives to 77, with a few races too close to call.

The lack of success in that chamber prompted an an nouncement from Rep. Jim Durkin, the Western Springs Republican who has served as House minority leader since 2013, that he would not seek another term leading the House Republicans.

“I am proud of the work the House Republican caucus has accomplished under my tenure, and thank everyone who played a part along the way,” Durkin said in a news release. “I began this jour ney as a voice of moderation and conclude this journey the same way I started, a voice of moderation.”

Moderation is a trait of the Republican Party which Pritzker, in his election night speech, contended no longer exists.

He took square aim at for mer President Donald Trump and those who sought and

accepted his endorsement. But he didn’t mention his vanquished opponent Darren Baily in his election night ad dress.

“And don’t claim that the Republican Party is being labeled unfairly. Because here we are, two years into cleaning up the wreckage of Donald Trump’s presidency, poised to watch this man an nounce his return to national politics within days,” Pritz ker said of Trump on election night. “You know why? Be cause GOP politicians, with the exception of only a few souls, are too cowardly, too simpering, to support the best interests of the nation because they’re afraid of being called insulting nicknames by a whiny bully.”

Asked about the speech, he again denied any interest in a 2024 presidential run and said he planned to serve his fouryear term as governor.

Aside from the national lens, the speech centered on some of Pritzker ’s major firstterm accomplishments, like legalizing recreational mar ijuana, raising the minimum wage, balancing the budget and presiding over six credit upgrades between the three major ratings agencies.

“We’ve got to stop being irresponsible about our fiscal situation in the state—like my predecessor was, and like was

proposed by my opponent during this latest campaign— and actually focus on solving the real fiscal challenges of Il linois,” Pritzker said. “I know that sometimes sounds boring to people when you talk about budgets, paying debt. … But I think it’s vitally important that all of us focus on that in both parties.”

Pritzker said many of his first-term accomplishments, including passing a capital infrastructure plan and ap proving the budget, received bipartisan support after ne gotiations with Durkin and others. While the relationship was rockier after one year, Pritzker said he was open to working with Republicans in his second term.

Two of Durkin’s top lieu tenants—Reps. Dan Brady, of Normal, and Tom Demmer, of Dixon—will also be leaving the General Assembly after unsuccessful bids at statewide office. At least four others from his leadership team had either chosen not to seek an other term or lost primary or general elections.

When the governor was asked about Durkin and whether he worried a more conservative replacement would rise in the ranks, he said Durkin was “probably a loss for the Republicans.”

“I’m only concerned if someone takes the job who’s

unwilling to sit down and ac tually talk about, you know, what we might do together?” he said. “If they’re unwilling to talk, if they reject the idea of bipartisanship, that would not be good for the state of Illinois.”

As for other races, the Democrats maintained the of fices of comptroller, treasurer, attorney general and secretary of state. Each of the Demo crats—incumbents Susana Mendoza, Michael Frerichs and Kwame Raoul and new comer Alexi Giannoulias— were leading by double digits as of Nov. 9

Union groups were also claiming victory on a consti tutional amendment guaran teeing a right to collectively bargain in Illinois. That race was too early to call, howev er, due to the complex nature of passing an amendment.

It had about 59 percent of the vote with 90 percent of precincts reporting, which is short of the three-fifths need ed for passage. But an amend ment can also pass if support ed by more than half of those voting in the election, so the threshold needed is likely to be lower than 60 percent.

As of Nov. 9, however, it was unclear what the fi nal threshold and vote tallies would be, as the Illinois State Board of Elections is set to certify results on Dec. 5.

Pritzker poised for second term as Bailey concedes

By Jerry Nowicki and Peter Hancock CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS

By the time speakers came out to pray, say the Pledge of Allegiance and play the na tional anthem at Republican challenger Darren Bailey’s election night watch party in Springfield on Nov. 8, the Associated Press had called the Illinois governor’s race for incumbent Democrat JB Pritzker.

While results are not of ficial until certified by the Illinois State Board of Elec tions on Dec. 5, the Asso ciated Press called the race

for Pritzker instantly upon closure of the polls at 7 p.m.

Three hours later, unofficial results showed Pritzker with a lead of about 54-42 percent with 65 percent of precincts reporting, according to the Chicago Tribune’s tally of election results.

About 8 p.m., Pritzker ad dressed the crowd at the Mar riott Marquis in Chicago.

“I’m grateful tonight that Illinois continues a long tradition of peaceful and fair elections. And I am so thrilled to spend four more years serving as your gover nor,” Pritzker told a cheering

crowd at a Near South Side hotel ballroom.

Bailey took the stage just before 10 p.m., giving a heart felt speech to supporters.

“I may not be going to Springfield as your next gov ernor, but I will never stop fighting for you,” the state senator said, to cheers.

He also noted he called Pritzker to congratulate the incumbent on his victory, evoking a murmur from some in the crowd. But he also had a message for the governor.

“You need to be better,” Bailey said. “You need to be

better for our children. And you need to be better for our grandchildren.”

Earlier, his team and the crowd of a few hundred peo ple at the Crowne Plaza hotel in Springfield seemed stunned by the immediate call.

Rep. Blaine Wilhour, R-Beecher City, a Bailey ally and frequent campaign sur rogate, took the stage about 7 p.m., calling the campaign a movement that goes beyond any party or politician. Rep. Adam Niemerg, a Teutopo lis Republican and another Bailey ally in the General Assembly, said he expected a late night.

But Pritzker had taken the stage to declare victory within an hour with a fiery speech to supporters.

“And finally, here in the Land of Lincoln, the home state of Barack Obama, the

first state to ratify the 13th and 19th amendments end ing slavery and guaranteeing a woman’s right to vote, we will never surrender in the battle against hate,” he said.

The race for governor had become a referendum on Pritzker’s sweeping firstterm agenda.

Bailey, a downstate farm er and lawmaker from Xenia, had attacked the billionaire from Chicago over his han dling of the COVID-19 pan demic and high crime rates in Chicago and elsewhere, often accusing him of being out of touch with ordinary Illinoisans.

But Pritzker, who self-funded his campaign, touted accomplishments during his first term such as balancing the state bud get, earning multiple credit upgrades and passing a $45

billion capital infrastructure bill while casting Bailey as a conservative extremist.

Pritzker was first elected in 2018 after never having held elected office, defeating then-incumbent Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner, 55-39 percent.

Democrats maintained control of every statewide office and supermajorities in the General Assembly.

Republican candidates for state treasurer, Tom Dem mer, and for secretary of state, Dan Brady, had con ceded Tuesday to incumbent Treasurer Michael Frerichs and Democratic SOS candi date Alexi Giannoulias.

Results for a constitu tional amendment for union rights were too early to call due to the two paths of pas sage for a constitutional amendment.

Burr Oak Area Storm Sewer Improvement Project complete

On November 2, the Lake County Stormwater Management Commission and City of Lake Forest came together to celebrate the completion of the Burr Oak Area Storm Sewer Improvement Project.

The completed work, while out of sight, brings flood mitigation relief to homes and businesses in downtown Lake Forest. Grant funding from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) and the City of Lake Forest was utilized to construct storm sewer system upgrades and underground storage facilities to help protect residents and businesses in the area from flood risk.

“We are excited to celebrate the completion of the Burr Oak Area Storm Sewer Improvement Project,” said Lake Forest Mayor George A. Pandaleon. “This very important investment in the City’s infrastructure will help reduce flooding for over 300 residents and businesses in the immediate area. The StormTrap underground detention tank holds 847,000 gallons during peak storms and by doing so, protects one of Lake Forest’s treasured natural resources, our ravine system.”

The new StormTrap provides increased capacity for stormwater detention, improved stormwater quality and flow control. This helps to mitigate many harmful effects of high-volume stormwater runoff, such as erosion and flooding. It also eliminates the need for above ground ponds, thereby creating more usable land.

“We give special thanks to former County Board Member (and former Mayor) Mike Rummell, current County Board Members Paras Parekh and Paul Frank, County Board Chair Sandy Hart, the Lake County Stormwater Management Commission, State Representative Bob Morgan, and State Senator Julie Morrison for their help in securing a grant for roughly half of the $5.4 million project cost,” Pandaleon said.

“While we cannot always prevent flooding, there are critical steps that can be taken to reduce its impact on the community, and the Burr Oak project is a prime example of that. Partnerships with local jurisdictions combined with state and federal agencies continue to play a key role in ongoing flood damage reduction across Lake County,” said Donald Schmit, Chair for the Lake County Stormwater Management Commission.

The completed work will have a significant impact on several roadways and businesses currently susceptible to street flooding including Western Avenue, a major roadway in the area.

“Thanks to the combined efforts of the Stormwater Management Commission’s effective floodplain and stormwater management and flood hazard mitigation activities, and those of local partners like the City of Lake Forest, flood damage has and continues to decrease in our area.” County Board Chair Sandy Hart said. “The additional benefits of managing rainwater runoff includes decreasing pollutants in our water systems and groundwater replenishment.”

“Bringing the Burr Oak Area Storm Sewer Improvement Project to reality has taken incredible teamwork, collaboration and funding,” said County Board Member Paras Parekh who represents District 12.” I am thrilled that this long-awaited project is complete as I am sure the businesses and residents in the area are as well.”

In May 2022, Lake County welcomed Illinois Governor Pritzker to announce $30 million in grant funding to complete regional stormwater infrastructure projects, including this completed project in Lake Forest. The funding was used to support 14 projects and provide stormwater management benefits to more than 2,300 properties and 25 roadways most effected by flooding across Lake County.
