‘I’m not going to limit myself,’ says new county commish Brandon Johnson not backing off from Medicare for All, corporate head tax proposals

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

Brandon Johnson, a former Chicago Public Schools teacher, pulled off a narrow, seemingly unlikely, victory against incumbent Richard Boykin to win the 1st District Cook County Commissioner seat by running well to the left of his opponent.

Now that he’s been sworn-in, the veteran organizer is poised to be the most vocal progressive on the Cook County Board of Commissioners.

Triton administrator’s hiring ‘concerning,’ union says Faculty union lambasts lack of diversity, unfair hiring process

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

The recent appointment of a new highlevel administrator at Triton College has drawn the ire of the college’s faculty union and sparked a debate about the

institution’s commitment to diversifying its administrative ranks and tackling chronic issues like low graduation rates among students of color.

Vater Fite, granddaughter of slave and aunt of former mayor, dies at 104 Vater Fite — an intrepid renaissance woman who was the matriarch of an immediate family that includes a state representative and an NBA player, and the aunt of a Maywood mayor — died in Aurora on Jan. 17 at 104.

Fite was funeralized at Neighborhood United Methodist Church, 1817 Washington Blvd. in Maywood, on Friday, according to an obituary published by the Chicago Sun-Times.

According to the Sun-Times, Fite grew up in East Texas as the granddaughter of a slave. In the 1930s, she moved to California and trained as a welder, working on battleships during World War II. After moving to the Chicago area at 65, she took art classes at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, cultivating her talent enough that local governments exhibited her paintings, relatives told the Sun-Times. She also taught herself to play

Loyola Medicine to merge with Palos Health, officials say The merger comes after 2015 academic partnership between the institutions

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

Roughly a year after acquiring MacNeal Hospital in Berwyn, Loyola Medicine, based in Maywood, recently announced that it plans to merge with Palos Health, a healthcare system that serves the south and southwest suburbs.

In a joint statement released Jan. 21, Loyola and Palos Health officials said that the two entities have signed a non-binding letter of intent and that it could be several months before the full merger is finalized.

“The parties will enter a due diligence process with the goal of Palos Health and its affiliate organizations joining Loyola’s comprehensive regional health system,” according to the statement.

The merger would expand Loyola’s footprint into the south and southwest suburbs. Palos Health includes a 425-bed hospital in Palos Heights, around 22 miles from downtown Chicago.

Palos Health also features “a fully integrated, community-based health care system” that includes a physician network, an imaging and diagnostic center and an 83,000-square-foot expansion of its Palos

TRITON ADMINISTRATOR Diversity wanted from page 1 who recently announced her retirement, effective May 31.

The appointment, officials with the Triton College Faculty Association said, marks at least the second time that the board has hired someone to fill the critical position without conducting a search process or posting the position publicly — actions the board president said are within the rights of the college’s president.

In a statement released on Jan. 22 and read during the meeting by Joe Dusek, the Faculty Association president, the union explained that it “takes no issue” with Campos’s becoming the next Academic Affairs vice president, “finding her eminently qualified and well known to be a fair-minded administrator. Rather, our concern is with the process, or lack of, used to select the next VP of Academic Affairs.”

The union said that “in accordance with standard practice and general fairness,” the college should fill administrative positions only after a search process happens “in which positions are publicly posted, a search team representing members of the Triton College community assembled, and candidates [are] thoroughly evaluated and vetted.”

The union explained that many challenges

EXPANDING: The new expansion of the Palos Health South Campus, which opened last year, is the result of a partnership between Palos Health and Loyola Medicine.

Health South Campus in Orland Park, among other components. The entire system employs more than 3,000 people and includes around 900 volunteers.

The new expansion, which opened last year, is the result of an academic affiliation that Palos Health and Loyola Medicine formed in 2015.

“The innovative academic affiliation resulted in several patient-care initiatives, including a telestroke program that brings the expertise of Loyola stroke specialists to the patient’s Palos Hospital bedside and streamlined trauma transfers and subspecialty referrals from Palos to Loyola,” the statement explained.

The new expansion features “47 specialty and primary care exam rooms, staffed by Loyola physicians, and Palos and Loyola jointly own an outpatient surgery center and a radiation oncology center.”

Dr. Terrence Moisan, the president and CEO of Palos Health, said in the statement that the partnership with Loyola will allow the two institutions to leverage their respective strengths.

“Our patients are our priority at Palos Health and one way we have maintained

this commitment is by seeking strategic partnerships to best serve our communities,” Moisan said. “By fully integrating with Loyola Medicine, we will enhance our clinical strength, increase our flexibility and provide our community with more comprehensive care across an expanded region.”

Shawn P. Vincent, the president and CEO of Loyola Medicine and president of Trinity Health’s Illinois region, said that he and his team “are excited about the opportunity

to bring together the Palos and Loyola Medicine care teams and capabilities to ensure the provision of high-quality and high-value care to the community for many years to come.”

Loyola Medicine — which includes Loyola University Medical Center, Gottlieb Memorial Hospital and MacNeal Hospital — is a member of Michigan-based Trinity Health, one of the country’s largest Catholic healthcare delivery systems.

that Triton is facing fall under the Academic Affairs vice president’s purview, including “declining enrollment, significant achievement gaps for minority students, and new mandates from the state.”

Those problems, they said, is “why it is critical that senior executive-level positions are selected from a diverse candidate pool through a fair and transparent interview process.”

During follow-up interviews, faculty union officials were critical of the lack of diversity among high-level administrators at the college and decried the low graduation rates among African American and Hispanic students.

According to college data, 59 percent of the college’s 11,627 students are minority — 16 percent African-American and 40 percent Hispanic or Latinx. But 70 percent of the college’s 30 top administrators, and 76 percent of the college’s full-time faculty members, are white.

Meanwhile, only 7 percent of full-time, first-time, degree/certificate-seeking African American undergraduates who matriculated in 2014 completed their programs of study within three years,

according to Triton data. For Hispanics and whites in that group, the completion rate was 18 percent and 27 percent, respectively.

Union officials said that the Campos appointment was indicative of Triton’s lackluster commitment to hiring more minority faculty and administrators, citing the example of Harper College, a community college in Palatine.

All three of the final candidates vying to become the college’s president are African American — despite the fact that 57 percent of Harper College’s student body is white.

In its statement, the union said that, when hiring, “the college should compare candidates on the basis of merit, qualifications, Data: Triton College experience, background, and consideration of the college’s short and long-term strategic goals; this is not possible without a proper search.”

During the Jan. 22 meeting, however, Triton’s board president, Mark Stephens, explained that Campos came highly recommended by Triton President MaryRita Moore.

Stephens said that Moore “was well within her rights under the rules of the school to”

recommend hiring Campos and bypassing a search process, adding that due to the suddenness of Baker’s decision to retire, it was important to get someone in the position swiftly.

Stephens added that the college is “starting to do better” and “starting to close up” the achievement gap. He added that the school is also improving in the area of enrollment and state mandates.

Given the improvements, Stephens said, “How we would help the school by going through a five-month process to replace [Baker] is questionable.”

But union officials explained that a search process would also help the college avoid the appearance of corruption.

“As Triton’s top-tier administrative positions are among the highest paid in the state,” union officials said, “the appointment of inside employees not only obstructs the inclusion of diverse talent, it creates an appearance of cronyism that jeopardizes the college’s reputation.”

When reached for comment on the hiring, President Moore issued a statement, explaining that she is looking forward to Campos serving as the college’s next chief academic officer.

“With 13 years as a full-time Triton College faculty member and 1.5 years as academic dean, her experience makes her uniquely qualified to continue Triton College’s success into the future,” Moore said.

NEWS briefs Exploration of Maywood ‘Artspace’ continues with Jan. 30 meeting A group of community leaders are exploring the possibility of luring a development to Maywood that would provide affordable housing, as well as work space, for local artists is planning to meet again on Jan. 30, 5:30 p.m., at Maywood Fine Arts (Studio C), 20 N. 5th Ave. in Maywood.

The group is seeking artists in a range of media, including drama, poetry, music, dance, film-making, wielding photography, painting, graphic design, among others.

The group last met back in September with representatives from Artspace, the Minnesota-based nonprofit developer that specializes in live-work spaces.

During the meeting, Artspace representatives recommended that local artists organize a guild or create some formal alliance that would drive the planning process for a potential Artspace development, the specifics of which would be determined based on what area artists and community members say they need.

Marwah said that after the meeting, Artspace officials would create a report based on their analysis and that, “if everything looks to be a good fit,” would then develop a market study, which includes a quantitative analysis phase wherein they “survey artists’ needs and ask them what they want to pay for space and what type of space they’re interested in.”

To RSVP, please contact Christopher Parker at cparker@wintrust.com. Feel free to reach out with any questions.

In a statement, Welch said he’s honored to be appointed to the position, which “will allow me to have a direct impact on a wide range of important legislation that will impact our district and state.

“The Executive Committee will likely hear many of the new governor’s top priorities, including legalization of cannabis, gambling expansion, ethics reforms and much more.

Excited to be at the table for this historic opportunity to move Illinois forward.”

Maywood man charged with Welch named chair of House 1st-degree murder connected Executive Committee to 2017 shooting

An area lawmaker was recently named to head a powerful committee in the Illinois House of Representatives, according to a report by Rich Miller’s Capitol Fax blog.

State Rep. Emanuel “Chris” Welch (7th), whose district includes much of Proviso Township, was recently named chairman of the powerful House Executive Committee, replacing state Rep. Dan Burke (1st), who resigned earlier this month, more than a week before his term ended.

Burke, who had held the seat since 1991 before losing in the Democratic Primary last year, is the younger brother of powerful 14th Ward Chicago Ald. Ed Burke, who was recently charged with extortion.

Welch won his fourth term last year after running unopposed. He has chaired the House Higher Education Committee for the last two years and sat on Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s education transition committee.

According to Miller, the “House Executive has always been where the real action is at the committee level and the panel has

One person has been charged with murder in connection to the fatal shooting of a Maywood man in 2017.

Jeramie Embry, 32, of Maywood, was charged with 1st degree murder on Jan. 23, in connection to the killing of Anthony Morris, 37, on Dec. 19, 2017.

The incident happened inside of Maywood Grocery, 1115 Madison St. in Maywood.

Police were dispatched to the store at around 11:03 a.m., when they discovered Morris and a woman wounded inside.

Morris was transported to Loyola Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. The woman survived.

“After an extensive yearlong investigation, Maywood investigators were able to arrest and charge Jeramie Embry in connection with the murder,” said Maywood Police Lt. Dennis Diaz in a statement released Jan. 23.

An educator hired earlier this month to fill a high-level administrative position with Proviso Township High Schools District 209 has abruptly withdrawn his name from consideration for the position.

During a regular meeting on Jan. 8, the D209 school board unanimously voted to approve an employment contract for Michael Tanner to become the district’s new assistant superintendent of finance and operations.

It was discovered that Tanner had withdrawn after district officials reposted the position on Jan. 23.

When contacted on Wednesday evening, D209 officials confirmed that Tanner had, in fact, backed out of the job offer, adding that they did not have an explanation for the decision. Tanner could not be contacted on Wednesday evening for comment.

Tanner’s contract was supposed to run from Jan. 7 through June 30, 2020. He would have received a salary of $164,000, which included his contribution to the Teachers’ Retirement System.

Before he was hired with D209, Tanner worked for the Fremont School District 79, where he served as associate superintendent for finance and operations.

Tanner would have replaced Todd Drafall, D209’s former chief business officer who resigned last year. The district has employed an interim to fulfill that role since Drafall left.

JOHNSON

Progressive priorities from page 1 level of government,” Johnson said in his first interview with Village Free Press since taking office.

The former Chicago Teachers Union organizer said that he’s still committed to many of the most ambitious proposals he called for while on the campaign trail — proposals, he said, that he’s advocated for years as an organizer and activist.

Top of the list are ways of redistributing revenue that has been hoarded by wealthy individuals and corporations, so that it equitably flows to its highest and best use, he indicated.

“There’s a whole host of things the district can benefit from with a progressive revenue stream,” Johnson said, adding that the range of likely revenue sources spans a spectrum of political possibilities.

The legalization of marijuana, which given the election of Gov. J.B. Pritzker could happen quickly and lead to an influx of tax revenue, is “well-positioned to become a reality,” Johnson said, before adding that he believes the additional revenue has to lead to more opportunities for 1st District

residents, particularly those in marginalized communities, to own businesses and have decent jobs.

A more distant possibility is the implementation of a county-wide corporate head tax, something the new commissioner said that he’s still exploring.

A head tax would require large corporations to pay a tax on each of their employees.

“The corporate head tax is important,” Johnson said.

“Corporations continue to get tax breaks, over and over again.

Donald Trump continues to release any of these folks from any real responsibility to invest in our communities.”

Johnson said that he has some ideas about how the tax can be structured and what the revenue can go toward, adding that he’s willing to explore ways to provide companies some relief of the corporate tax if

additional revenue is Medicare for All, which Johnson adamantly supports.

“It’s one thing to offer a decent salary, but that benefit packet is what many families look to now,” he said. “The county needs to lead the way in Medicare for All. I believe there are ways we can phase it in, maybe looking at folks who are 55 and older. Access to healthcare is a human right.”

Johnson said that implementing Medicare for All — which means that health care for people who qualify for the program would be funded by the government, as opposed to a patchwork of private insurance providers — could be a boon even to businesses, since it would ease the burden of paying for their employees’ health care.

As a whole, Johnson said, his approach to achieving these policy wins is rooted in the unapologetic progressivism that won him the seat. Far from limiting his radicalism to the relative provincial demands of a county commissioner’s role, Johnson said, he intends to expand the office.

“If anyone believes that I’m going to limit myself as the county commissioner and stay in some imaginary lane, they’re wrong,” he said. “The people of the first district voted for change. They voted for a bold, progressive, radical approach to how government works.”

Treating Alzheimer’s morally So much of the conversation about Washington today centers around dollars and cents. Often people are taken out of the equation and their needs are disregarded. Focusing only on costs has led to a constant standoff in Congress, with a government shutdown constantly looming overhead. The problem with this is that, all too often, cutting now costs us more later on.

The lack of foresight from so many of our leaders is disturbing. I am proud that my congressman, Danny Davis, recognizes that funding social services, education and research into diseases like Alzheimer’s are an investment in our future.

Through my position in an assisted living community, I see the terrible effects of Alzheimer’s disease firsthand. I see the daily struggles of the family, caregivers, and residents with this disease and the toll it takes on all. I simply cannot understand any elected official who opposes increasing funding for the National Institutes of Health’s research.

VILLAGE perspectives Why I still support Maywood Visionary Party

Not only is it the right thing to do morally, it makes fiscal sense. Treating people with Alzheimer’s cost the federal government more than $150 billion dollars last year, the most of any disease, and it is the only major cause of death in our country that does not have a cure or treatment that slows its progression.

If ever we needed to get an issue under control, this is it, and I appreciate that Congressman Davis understands this and fights so hard for what is right.

— Beth Alleman, Oak Park

I along with a group of concerned citizens came together in early 2016 to support five candidates whose ages ranged from 42 through 67, who came from many different backgrounds, had different professions but understood that it would take a vision to work together toward a common goal. We supported those individuals and still do today!

During the 2017 election, this group brought their “Vision of Change,” their “Vision of Accountability,” their “Vision of Economic Development,” their “Vision of Safety” and their “Vision of Constituent Services” to the residents, letting them know how they would accomplish such change. This group is called the Maywood Visionary Party.

Prior to MVP announcing their vision and their party name, no one spoke of a vision. This is clear due to what we have and are dealing with today. Since then, every candidate or political party has suddenly come up with a “vision.” While this is great, I do not want anyone confused as to where the “vision” originated.

Antonette “Toni” Dorris and Steven R. Smiley are the trustee candidates on the Maywood Visionary Party ticket.

In my opinion, we need seasoned young people to reclaim and work together to move this village forward. We need elected

officials who are not afraid to stand up to status quo. We need elected officials who will not become weary, who will roll their sleeves up and work hard together. We need people who will stand up for the residents’ needs and not play “politricks” just to garner votes for their election.

I have supported MVP in the past and still support the direction of MVP! I strongly recommend that when April 2, 2019 comes, you will vote for people who have tenacity, experience and resources to become our future leaders.

As a former trustee for the village of Maywood, and at 81 years of age, I am still involved with my village. I would hope many of us, 65 or older, would offer and continue to give knowledge, direction and empower strong individuals like the MVP candidates who have the desire to properly represent and work for us.

Our time has come and gone and now we need to pass the baton to those who are willing and able to work together. Change is needed now!

Call us 708-689-9(MVP)-(9687) to know more about MVP. I’m very proud of this ticket and look forward to you joining me with your support!

Rep. Davis gets tech support from competition winner Ronil Awalegaonkar, winner of an app-creation contest, offers to help spread tech knowledge throughout 7th District

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

During a brief ceremony on Jan. 26, at his district office in Chicago U.S. Rep. Danny K. Davis (7th), along with state Rep. La Shawn K. Ford (8th), greeted sophomore Ronil Awalegaonkar with a certificate of recognition. Awalegaonkar was the 7th Congressional District winner of the 2018 Congressional APP Challenge, a nationwide competition for middle and high school students that encourages them to create new technologies.

The competition, representatives with Davis’ office explained in a statement, was created “because Congress recognized that STEM [Science, Technology, Engineering and Math] and computer-based skills are essential for economic growth and innovation, and that the U.S. has been falling behind on these fronts. By some estimates, the U.S. may be short by as many as a million programmers by 2020.”

Awalegaonkar’s app, “Drive Care.fully,” was among a few hundred chosen out of some 1,715 apps submitted by 5,229 students in 44 states.
