AG Garland Announces $78M In Anti-Violence Funding

Department of Justice officials visited annual violence intervention conference in Chicago on April 3

By DILPREET RAJU Capitol News Illinois

In a visit to Chicago on April 3, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland announced $78 million in federal grant funding for communitybased anti-violence programs.

Garland, a Chicago area native, made the announcement while speaking at the second annual Community Based Violence Intervention and Prevention Initiative Conference featuring community violence intervention on-the-ground workers from across the country.

“We have made historic investments in evidencebased, community-centered initiatives aimed at preventing and disrupting violence. In the last two years alone, we have delivered nearly $200 million to support life-saving programs,” he said.

Garland announced Wednesday that the application window had opened for the $78 million that will be distributed across the country in fiscal year 2024. For fiscal year 2023, the Office of Justice Programs – a federal agency of the U.S. Department of Justice – dispersed more than $15 million for community violence prevention and intervention programming to the Illinois

Remembering Karen Yarbrough

One memory I have of Karen Yarbrough, who died Sunday at 73, stands out the most.

Around a decade ago, Sen. Dick Durbin, our state’s senior-most federal lawmaker and one of the most powerful people in the U.S. Senate, visited the Proviso Township Democratic Organization on the corner of 17th Avenue and Madison Street in Maywood.

The senator was stomping during an election I don’t remember, but that had to be important for him to venture to Maywood. If my memory’s correct, one of his aides had been helping Proviso Democrats mobilize voters in the area. The aide happened to be very good at what he did.

“Be careful, we may steal him,” Karen told Dick Durbin.

That moment will stay with me, because it encapsulates Karen’s tremendous moxy and the fact that, no matter who was in the room, she was unbossed and unbowed. Several years later, some of us thought she’d be phased out of her position as county recorder when news came that the office would be consolidated into the county clerk’s office.

David Orr — the clerk of 20 years, a Chicago alderman and the city’s acting mayor for about a week after the great Harold Washington died in 1987 — would inherit even more clout. At least we thought. Instead, Orr stepped aside and Karen stepped up to become clerk of that much larger, consolidated office.

For that alone, she’ll be remembered as one of the savviest politicians in Proviso Township’s history. She was also one of its hardestworking and most passionate, especially when it came to getting fellow Democrats elected.

Karen could light up any political space, whether the PTDO’s storefront offices in Maywood or an entire arena. I still remember watching the Democratic National Convention in 2012. The TV cameras panned the audience and I noticed Karen’s thousand-watt smile in a sea of excited faces.

The clerk’s passion extended to many things local, including this newspaper. When she offered support in words (which were often wise), she backed them up in deeds. She donated and bought advertising — unsolicited. For that, we’ll always be grateful.

The larger point, though, is Karen was never too high to get involved in the small, but vital things that are necessary for communities to flourish.

She wasn’t too big to attend her local church faithfully or to work with the Maywood Rotary or to speak as a concerned citizen at a local park district meeting or to drive out to a polling place to see about an absent worker or a broken machine.

People like Karen make our modern world go around. We need competent people to keep watch over our elections just as we need them to maintain our bridges and fix our streets and regulate our food system. This is not glamorous stuff; it is only the stuff of literal life.

Nowadays, especially when it comes to the current assault on voting rights in this country, the mundane work of administering elections is a matter of democracy.

“A nation may establish a system of free government, but without the spirit of municipal institutions it cannot have the spirit of liberty,” Alexis de Tocqueville wrote in 1831.

Karen embodied that spirit of liberty. We should only hope 20 years from now our country is still capable of reproducing people like her.

Lawmakers Question Pritzker’s Plan For New Early Childhood Agency

Cost of consolidating programs remains largely unknown

By PETER HANCOCK Capitol News Illinois

SPRINGFIELD – Gov. JB Pritzker’s plan to consolidate the state’s early childhood programs into one new cabinet-level agency ran into tough questions last week during a House budget committee hearing.

The plan, which Pritzker first announced in October and which he included in his budget address in February, would consolidate a host of programs and services currently run by three different agencies under one roof. That would include such things as child care subsidies for low-income families currently housed in the Department of Human Services; preschool block grants administered by the State Board of Education; and the licensing of day care centers, which is currently done by the Department of Children and Family Services.

Pritzker is seeking $13.1 million in the budget for the upcoming fiscal year to establish a new Department of Early Childhood. But that would only cover some initial start-up costs,

such as hiring executive staff, buying new computers and software licenses.

It would also include the cost of surveying parents, teachers, service providers and other stakeholders about what they want from a new agency and how they would like to see it operate.

Ann Whalen, the person Pritzker named in October to oversee the transition, told committee members Tuesday the administration expects it will be two full years before the new agency will be ready to take over any of the programs being transferred to it.

“We really do see this as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make the system easier, fairer and more cohesive,” she said. “We believe that the budget request reflects the capacity we need to do this work.”

Most Democrats on the committee seemed receptive to the idea of putting all early childhood programs under one roof.

“Conceptually, I support this,” said Rep. Sue Scherer, D-Decatur. “I can see where early childhood is sort of spread all over the board.”

But Scherer said she was concerned about whether the creation of a new agency would result in an overall net increase in administrative costs for the state and, if so, where that additional money would come from.

“At the end of the day, it all comes out of tax revenue from taxpayers,” she said. “So every dollar we spend on this – and I just need everyone to be aware of this – is a dollar we don’t have to spend, potentially, on students, and teacher salaries, because it’s money that we’re spending for administration and location of a new agency, basically.”

Whalen said much of the money the new agency would spend will be federal dollars that currently flow to other agencies. On multiple occasions, though, she declined to speculate about what the net cost would be to the state and whether the overall administrative costs – including new office spaces – would be more or less than what the state is spending now.

“I don’t want to put out a number that gets in front of the process,” she said. “I don’t want to say we’re going to have this exact org chart, or this exact look at programs and services, because I don’t want to jump to conclusions about what parents and providers say they want out of the system.”

Republicans on the panel were more skeptical about the proposal.

“Why shouldn’t we be extremely concerned that we are statutorily creating an entire government agency when you’re telling us right

now that we really don’t have any idea what it’s going to cost?” asked Rep. Blaine Wilhour, of Beecher City, the Republican spokesperson on the panel. “Wouldn’t it be more prudent to go through this two-year study phase and not create an entire government agency that we have no idea what it’s going to cost?”

But Whalen said the idea of forming a single agency for early childhood services grew out of years of study and planning in Illinois, as well as the experience of other states.

“We firmly believe that it’s important to begin the process of standing up this new agency, because when we have spoken to other states, they have said, ‘we tried to do it all at once,’ or ‘we did not take enough time to listen,’ or ‘we did not stand up a new agency and have the opportunity to plan before we transition the programs over, and boy do we wish we had done that differently,’” she said.

The committee took no action on the budget request. That will be part of a final spending package that lawmakers will negotiate at the end of the spring session, which is scheduled to last through the month of May.

The legislation to create a new agency is contained in two bills – Senate Bill 1 and House Bill 5451 – both of which are still pending in their respective chambers.

shooting victims and associated arrests.

“For one subgroup — men referred by outreach workers — the declines in arrests and victimizations for shootings and homicides clearly pass standard statistical significance thresholds,” the study, entitled “Predicting

The study makes a point to stop short of naming READI a difference maker in overall violent crime for the city, stating, “We cannot conclude with certainty that the version of READI evaluated here decreased serious

However, there is “evidence that READI reduced arrests for shootings and homicides, with the estimated effect being just beyond traditional statistical significance cutoffs.”

Assistant Attorney General Amy Solomon doubled down on the need for communitydriven initiatives.

“Our goal here is to make sure that federal support is reaching the communities that are too often overlooked and underfunded – the same communities where violence takes the heaviest toll,” she said. “It’s about reaching the organizations that reflect those communities, are designed to serve them, are located within them and are closest to the problems that we seek to solve.”

Garland also announced the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives will soon be publishing its third volume of the National Firearms Commerce and Trafficking Assessment, which Garland called “the most comprehensive look at America’s crime

“The report finds that the flood of illegal guns into our communities is increasingly driven by individuals who sell guns without a license and who do not conduct background

YARBROUGH Political powerhouse

from page 1

Yarbrough obtained a bachelor’s degree in Business Management from Chicago State University and a master’s degree in Inner City Studies from Northeastern Illinois University. She also completed an advanced leadership studies program at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government.

A licensed real estate broker, Yarbrough was founder and president of Hathaway Insurance Agency for 30 years.

The daughter of Don Williams, a longtime realtor and Maywood’s second Black mayor, and the wife of Henderson Yarbrough, who was mayor from 2005 to 2013, Yarbrough’s own political influence shined well beyond the village she called home.

In 2000, she was elected to represent the 7th District in the Illinois House of Representatives, where she served on numerous committees and eventually rose to become assistant majority leader. She would spend 12 years in the House until leaving to run for Cook County Recorder of Deeds in 2012.

When she became recorder, Yarbrough succeeded another Maywood resident and giant of local politics, Eugene “Gene” Moore. Moore, who was also a 7th District state representative, served in the recorder’s office for around 13 years.

In 2018, the county recorder’s office was folded into the Cook County Clerk’s office. At the time, some elected officials argued

increased the pay for judges and polling technicians, and launched a successful campaign to recruit more veterans to work the polls.

Yarbrough was the longtime president of the Proviso Township Democratic Organization and served in various roles with the statewide Democratic Party.

Yarbrough also helped strengthen the civic fabric of Proviso Township and surrounding suburbs. She was president of the Maywood Chamber of Commerce and led the MaywoodProviso Rotary Club. She also served on the boards of United Way of Suburban Chicago and the Oak Park YMCA (now the West Suburban YMCA).

The county clerk was also passionate about the arts. In 2018, she debuted her first play, “Passin’ Where the River Bends,” at the Madison Street Theatre in Oak Park.

That year, she told Village Free Press that she wrote the play around a decade after its stage debut, prompted, in part, by her research into critical points in AfricanAmerican history, such as the Underground Railroad and the first and second Great Migrations of African Americans to the north.

that the consolidation would save the county money, in part by eliminating the duplication of duties. Both offices are responsible for maintaining records.

Veteran political observers figured Yarbrough’s career may dissolve with the recorder’s office, but as a testament to her political savvy and moxy, Yarbrough chose to run for the clerk’s seat against David Orr. Orr had served as clerk for nearly 20 years and was one of the most well-known political reformers in Cook County.

“I plan to submit my credentials to the Cook

County Democrats and hope to win the support to get the endorsement,” Yarbrough told the Tribune at the time. “I will be running.”

In 2017, Orr announced that he would not seek an eighth term as clerk, clearing the way for Yarbrough to run unopposed in the following year’s Democratic Party. Yarbrough became the first Black person and first woman clerk in Cook County’s history.

In her role as clerk, Yarbrough modernized the office, introducing new electronic voting machines. Facing languishing numbers of Election Day poll workers, Yarbrough’s office

“I was struck by reading that there were more than 200,000 [fair-skinned] blacks who moved up to Canada, passed for white and were never heard of again,” Yarbrough said at the time. The play was set in 1960s Maywood on the banks of the Des Plaines River.

Yarbrough and her husband shared a blended family of six children. They had 12 grandchildren and three great grandchildren, according to the biography on the clerk’s website.

As of Sunday evening, when this article went to press, funeral services were pending.

Seller shall furnish to Purchaser for Purchaser’s review within ten (10) days of the Effective Date copies of the following, to the extent such items are in the possession or control of Seller: the Contracts, the Leases, the Permits, real property tax bills (or exemptions) affecting the Property, any related appraisals, the most recent utility bills for the Property, all municipal approvals relating to the Property, environmental and geotechnical reports concerning the Property, governmental permits or approvals, copies of any written notices of violations of law or assessments levied against the Property, Seller’s existing title insurance policy, and soil and engineering reports relating to

During the Inspections, Purchaser will maintain or will cause its contractors or consultants to maintain workers compensation insurance, and commercial general liability insurance with a limit of $1,000,000.00 for each incident and a $2,000,000.00 policy limit for aggregate operations on an occurrence basis. Prior to entering upon the Property, Purchaser shall provide Seller with evidence, reasonably satisfactory to Seller, of such insurance, which such insurance shall name Seller as an additional insured thereunder. Purchaser will indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from any losses suffered due to the Inspections, excluding, however, losses arising out of: (i) any negligent or intentional acts of Seller; and (ii) any existing defects or existing environmental conditions as of the date of the Inspections. In the event that Purchaser does not acquire the Property, Purchaser shall repair the Property with respect to any damage caused by the Inspections and restore the Property to its condition prior to such test or inspection prior to the termination of this Agreement. Purchaser acknowledges that the sale is “AS IS” and that Seller is under no obligation to make any repairs, and further, that in the event the Property or any improvements located thereon do not pass the inspection performed by Purchaser, that it shall be Purchaser’s obligation to correct same post-closing.

ARTICLE 4.2 Right of Termination.

ARTICLE 4.2.1 The obligation of Purchaser to purchase the Property is subject to the condition that Purchaser, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have approved the Property for purchase, including, but not limited to, building inspections, soil tests, engineering reports, Phase I environmental reports, Zoning Approvals (as defined below), Property Tax Classifications (as defined below), Franchisor Approvals (as defined below), and the general feasibility of Purchaser’s contemplated use of the Property (the “Inspection Contingency”). This Inspection Contingency shall be satisfied or waived by Purchaser, or this Agreement terminated by Purchaser, no later than the end of the Inspection Period. The “Inspection Period” is that period beginning on the Execution Date and ending at 5:00 p.m. Central Time on the one hundred and eightieth (180th) day after such date (the “Inspection Period End Date”). Purchaser may at any time on or before Inspection Period End Date, do one of the following: (i) send notice of acceptance to the Seller (the “Inspection Waiver”); or (ii) terminate this Agreement by sending written notice to Seller (the “Inspection Termination Notice”). If Purchaser fails to timely send an Inspection Waiver or Inspection Termination Notice by the Inspection Period End Date, Purchaser shall be deemed (a “Deemed Issuance”) to have irrevocably sent an Inspection Termination Notice. Upon issuance of the Inspection Termination Notice (or deemed issuance) as contemplated herein, the Earnest Money will be returned to Purchaser, and Seller and Purchaser shall have no further rights and obligations hereunder except those which expressly survive termination of this Agreement. If Purchaser delivers an Inspection Waiver, Purchaser shall have no further right to terminate the Agreement pursuant to this Article 4, and the Earnest Money shall become nonrefundable except as otherwise explicitly provided herein. Purchaser is solely responsible for contracting with and paying for all inspections, environmental reports, feasibility reports, architectural drawings, engineering reports, etc. associated with the Property. For clarity, Seller will not be responsible for any costs associated with Purchaser’s due diligence, design, zoning, permits, etc.

ARTICLE 4.2.2 Zoning Approvals. Seller acknowledges that Purchaser intends to operate a children’s day care facility at the Property. Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser to apply for and obtain final zoning, platting, site plan and other applicable development approvals and permits (excluding only a building permit) reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser to develop and operate the Project (collectively, “Zoning Approvals”). Within forty-five (45) days of the Execution Date, the Purchaser shall submit to the Seller for its review a Village of Westchester application, together with all required supporting documentation, for: (i) site plan review, (ii) special use permits, (iii) applicable variances (if any), and (iv) applicable rezoning amendments (if any) (the “Applications”). Within thirty (30) days of the Seller’s receipt of the Applications, the Seller shall approve or deny the Applications, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or denied. If any of the materials related to the Application are denied by the Seller, the Purchaser shall have fifteen (15) days thereafter to revise the applicable materials and resubmit same to the Seller for its approval. The Seller will have thirty (30) days thereafter to review the revised Application. This process, within the time frames herein stipulated, shall be repeated as often as may be necessary (but in no event beyond the Inspection Period). Seller approval of the Zoning Approvals shall be evidenced by the passage of an appropriate Village ordinance(s). The Seller shall cooperate in good faith with the Purchaser in the Zoning Approval processes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Seller and Purchaser cannot, after good faith efforts, reach agreement regarding the terms and conditions of the Zoning Approvals prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Purchaser may issue an Inspection Termination Notice and this Agreement shall terminate pursuant to the terms of Section 4.2.1. ARTICLE 4.2.3 Class 7(b) Assessment Classification. Within sixty (60) days after the Effective Date, the Corporate Authorities of the Village of Westchester shall adopt, pass and approve a resolution approving and consenting to the assessment of the Property (and any improvements to be constructed thereon as contemplated herein) under the applicable provisions of Class 7(b) of the Cook County Real Property Assessment Classification Ordinance, as amended (the “Class 7(b) Classification”). Upon receipt of said resolution, the Purchaser shall diligently pursue and utilize its best efforts to secure final approval of the Class 7(b) Classification from the County of Cook. It is expressly understood between the parties that the Purchaser must make timely application to the County of Cook for the Class 7(b) Classification and that the Seller does not guarantee the approval of the tax classification by the County of Cook but will assist the Purchaser in its endeavors, as reasonably needed; provided, however, that the approval of such Class 7(b) Classification by the County of Cook, including without limitation the Cook County Assessor’s Office, the Economic Development Advisory Committee of Cook County and other governmental bodies which are required to approve the Class 7(b) Classification, shall not be a condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Seller’s obligation to reasonably assist as set forth in this Section 4.2.3 shall survive the Closing until such time as the Property’s assessment classification is certified by the Cook County Assessor’s Office as having been changed to reflect the Class 7(b) Classification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Seller fails to adopt, pass and approve a resolution approving and consenting to the Class 7(d) Classification of the Property

as provided herein, Purchaser may issue an Inspection Termination Notice and this Agreement shall terminate pursuant to the terms of Section 4.2.1.

ARTICLE 4.2.4

Franchise Approvals. Purchaser intends to develop, operate, and maintain the children’s day care facility at the Property under the Primrose Academy franchise. If the Purchaser has not received all necessary approvals and permissions from Primrose Academy to operate the children’s day care facility at the Property under the Primrose Academy franchise (the “Franchisor Approval”) on or before the expiration of the Inspection Contingency, Purchaser may issue an Inspection Termination Notice and this Agreement shall terminate pursuant to the terms of Section 4.2.1.
