‘This is shameful,’ says Boykin $165M spent on county hospital system’s procurement, $3.5M with black firms

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

As of October of this year, the Cook County Health and Hospitals System had spent around $165 million on contracts to purchase things like medical supplies and equipment, according to data provided by the county’s Office of Contract Compliance.

Most of those contracts, 80 percent, went to companies ostensibly owned by white males while 20 percent went to companies that are certified minority- or women-owned. African American-owned companies were awarded just 2 percent, or roughly $3.5 million, of those contracts — and all of them were subcontractors.

“This is shameful,” said Cook County Commissioner Richard Boykin (1st), whose district covers most of Proviso Township, during a phone interview on Dec. 15. Boykin said he brought the issue See CONTRACTORS on page 4

D209 refinances $10M in bonds The deal, officials say, could save an estimated $2M

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

The Proviso Township High Schools District 209 school board recently voted to refinance $10 million of working cash bonds that the district issued in 2008 in

order to take advantage of lower interest rates. The refinancing, district officials say, could lead to substantial savings and more money to fund major investments, such as the district’s master facility plan.

But during discussions of the proposal

last month, board President Theresa Kelly and member Della Patterson expressed some leeriness, with Patterson saying that it felt like “de ja vu.”

Proviso Township creates holiday cheer for area seniors [Mack Communications] Proviso Township helped spread some holiday cheer yesterday by taking a group of more than 80 seniors on a Chicago Christmas Lights Tour. This is the first year the township has offered the tour, which filled up two buses within weeks.

“A lot of our seniors wouldn’t have the chance to see the lights downtown without this tour,” said Proviso Township Supervisor Michael Corrigan.

“Driving in the city, especially at night, can be difficult for anyone. This tour let our seniors-- some for the first time-- enjoy some of Chicago’s favorite festive spots without worrying about the logistics.”

The tour left from Proviso Township around 3 p.m. and made a number of stops throughout the city, including the Adler Planetarium Overlook, Lincoln Park, Millennium Park, Macy’s storefront windows, and the Christkindlemarket at Daley Plaza. Seniors were given time to enjoy the city Christmas tree, skating rink, and Cloud Gate at Millennium Park. It began to snow halfway through the tour.

“It’s so much fun. I’m seeing a lot of things I haven’t seen before. I’ve been in Chicago all my life, but I’ve also seen some things I’ve never seen before, and I’ve also made a few friends on the bus,” said

Joyce Ivy. “Definitely take the opportunity to go on the Christmas bus tour. It’s exciting and very fun filled.”

Time on the bus was spent singing Christmas carols, answering holiday trivia, and listening to historical facts about the city. As an added holiday gift, seniors were also given a small bag of treats, including hand sanitizer and a $10 Visa gift card to use on food, drinks, or trinkets during the trip.

Organizers say they hope the enthusiasm for this year’s tour will make this an annual event.

“It was a good time to see the city with the lights, we wanted to see all this at night,” said Jennie Sanchez of Berkeley. “The biggest thing is the driving. We didn’t have to drive, we came on the bus.”

The world remembers Fred Hampton, Maywood’s native son Forty-eight years ago on Dec. 4, Fred Hampton, perhaps Maywood’s most famous native, was killed while sleeping in his bed inside of his Chicago apartment. On the night of Dec. 4, 1969, Hampton followed Civil Rights icons like Martin Luther King, Jr. (killed the previous year) into martyrdom.

Nearly a half-century later, there is no shortage of memorials and retrospectives.

A movie, to be directed by Antoine Fuqua (“Training Day”), is in the works on Fred’s life. There have been reports and books and dissertations quite literally the world over on the 21-year-old’s assassination at the hands of Chicago police. There’s a mural on the West Side of Chicago and a bronze bust in Maywood of Fred’s likeness. The Maywood pool he tried integrating when he was a teenager is named after him.

And earlier this month, on the anniversary of the Illinois Black Panther chairman’s death, we decided to scan the surface of online reporting about Fred. The results are as diverse as the burgeoning rainbow coalition the young activist was working to build when he died.

Fred (and the band Algiers) in the Financial Times: An article in none other than the Financial Times, perhaps the unlikeliest source of Fred Hampton iconography, is actually a profile of the “transatlantic four-piece” band Algiers, which samples what may be Hampton’s most famous utterance: “Remember I said

— with the last words on show “Democracy Now!” my lips — that I am . . . a replayed an interview revolutionary.” with attorney Jeffrey From the Times: “‘We Haas, author of The Assassination of Fred won’t be led to slaughter Hampton: How the FBI — this is self-genocide,’ and the Chicago Police roared lead singer Murdered a Black Franklin James Fisher Panther, and also linked over spluttering sub-bass to the always haunting and ratatat hip-hop hi-hats.

60-minute documentary, A banner proclaiming ‘All “The Assassination of power to the people’ hung Fred Hampton: How behind him.” the FBI and Chicago Never forget: A Police Murdered a Black Newsweek article Panther.” asks, “Who was Fred Tweet the day: The Hampton …” It’s mostly writer and activist Clint a repackaging of tweets Smith’s tweet about from activists and FRED HAMPTON Fred generated 10,000 individuals, like attorney likes, 7,700 retweets and Clint Smith, who knew 77 comments. It was also Hampton personally. But picked up by Newsweek. it’s better than nothing.

Fred’s Jay Z connection: The pop culture And the short video clips included in the piece add another depth of understanding. site Complex even got in on the act with a timely reminder that no lesser a cultural From the piece: “Never forget that 48 years ago today the luminary than Jay Z dropped a reference to FBI & Chicago Police Dept conspired to Fred once upon a time: “In the middle of the talk about jaunts to murder Fred Hampton in his apartment because they were afraid he was creating a Paris and other-other-Benzes on Watch the multiracial political coalition to challenge Throne, Jay Z dropped a line attempting to those in power,” Clint Smith wrote on show connections between generations of Twitter today. “He was just 21 years old.” black activism. ‘I arrived on the day Fred Play it again: The alternative TV news Hampton died,’ he rapped on ‘Murder to

Excellence.’ ‘Real [n—] just multiply.’”

Complex also offers this bit of information, because … well, it’s Complex: “And, per Hov’s insistence on #SuperFacts, the math checks out. Jay’s born day — December 4, 1969 — was the day when Black Panther Party deputy chairman Fred Hampton, as well as fellow Panther Mark Clark, were murdered by a coalition of the FBI and Chicago police.”

A short, declarative reminder: The Root, in a short article serves as a reminder to its readership of the FBI’s history, particularly in light of an FBI report on “so-called ‘black identity extremists’” that leaked in October.

99 questions: Attorney Flint Taylor bears first-hand witness to Fred’s assassination, having represented the family during a long civil case following the Black Panther leader’s death. In his article in Truth Out, Taylor asks a penetrating litany of questions that, in the wake of the leaked FBI report, need to be asked: “Are Black Lives Matter leaders now being targeted? Are they included on the FBI’s latest version of its Rabble Rouser and Agitator Indexes like Fred Hampton was?

Are anti-Klan activists riddled by agent provocateurs in the mold of William O’Neal?

Are activists who oppose anti-Muslim violence marked for the Bureau’s Security Index?”

CONTRACTORS Scarce

from page 1 to the attention of his board colleagues after discovering the disparity a few weeks ago.

The commissioner emphasized that the $165 million total doesn’t include constructionrelated spending.

Boykin weighed in on the issue during a Dec. 11 press conference held at the county’s administration building in Chicago and also during a Dec. 13 finance committee meeting.

“President Preckwinkle and the entire county board should be ashamed that these businesses have been essentially shut out of doing business with the Health and Hospitals System,” Boykin said.

“African Americans make up 26 percent of Cook County’s population and 76 percent of patients at CCHHS. Yet they’re earning two percent of the system’s procurement contracts,” he added, calling the problem both a “moral issue and a jobs issue.”

“This is stunning and shocking,” said Cook County Commissioner Luis Arroyo, Jr. (8th) during the Dec. 13 meeting, where Doug Elwell, the deputy CEO for finance and strategy for the Health and Hospitals System, addressed the commissioners’ concerns.

“We are trying to do better, but we have not done enough,” Elwell said, adding that there are only around 37 African American companies on the approved certified list that “do health-related stuff.”

According to Lisa Alexander, the county’s deputy director for contract compliance, currently CCHHS knows two minoritycertified companies that can deliver medical supplies, but they’re Asian-owned.

Elwell said that the CCHHS officials were

working on hiring a diversity company located in Cook County to help the system “get more people certified and develop contracts” with minority- and womenowned businesses.

But that effort was rebuffed by several commissioners who felt that hiring an outside company was an unnecessary step toward solving a problem whose solutions, commissioner said, are already well known.

“We don’t need a diversity company to tell us that we need to hire people in the county to do work,” said Commissioner Deborah Sims (5th). “You just have to have the willingness to give them the technical assistance, so they know what you’re asking for.”

Sims recounted the experience of a black-owned company in Chicago that “has jumped through every hoop you’ve asked them to jump through, done all the technical assistance,” but still wasn’t awarded a contract.

“In my previous life, I was a certified minority business and I understand the struggles,” said Commissioner Dennis Deer (2nd). “Many individuals don’t become certified because they have to jump through 1,000 hoops and they still don’t get selected.”

Deer said that he had met with Health and Hospital System officials earlier this year about contract compliance and had proposed a follow-up meeting, which he said never happened.

“We’re talking about a new firm and we haven’t even had our second meeting,” Deer said, before recommending that Elwell hold off on hiring the diversity company before the board holds another public meeting on the matter of contract compliance. That meeting is scheduled for some time in January.

Another possible disincentive to applying for certification, some commissioners pointed out, could be the Health and Hospital System’s recent practice of paying

contractors late.

“I’ve had several minority firms that do business with CCHHS contact me about the system being far behind in terms of paying them,” said Boykin. “In some instances, almost a year behind. Is that normal operating procedure?”

“That is not normal,” said Elwell, explaining that the Health and Hospital System has struggled this year installing a new payment system. Elwell attributed the delayed payments, which he said are rare, primarily to processing errors. He added that, considering their limited cash flow, small businesses typically get priority over larger ones during the payment process.

Elwell said that there’s something of a division of labor when it comes to awarding contracts to minority- and women-owned companies. The different components of that process, however, don’t seem to communicate across their own silos, some officials indicated.

Although CCHHS has its own board of directors that is independent of the Cook County Board of Commissioners, the county’s Office of Contract Compliance also plays a large part in the process of bringing minority- and women-owned companies into the fold.

Commissioner Stanley Moore (4th), the chairman of the Contract Compliance Committee — the five-member body that monitors the hiring of minority-and women-owned companies and facilities the certification process — seemed stunned, however, when Alexander told him that her office didn’t have access to a critical document called the GPO catalog.

A GPO, or group purchasing organization, is an entity that helps healthcare providers negotiate lower prices with vendors. Moore said that he’s spoken with a lot of minority firms that have struggled to be included in the GPO catalog.

“If you can’t get into the GPO catalog, then you can’t be chosen,” Moore said, before asking Elwell how many black and Hispanic firms are included in the catalog. Elwell said that he didn’t know.

Alexander said that her office has access to a directory of minority- and womencertified companies that is maintained by the county, but it doesn’t have access to the GPO catalog.

“That’s why this GPO catalog is so important,” Moore said. “How can you work to help with [minority- and women-owned business participation] if you don’t have access to the catalog they pull from?”

Larry Ivory, the founder, president and CEO of the Peoria-based Illinois Black Chamber of Commerce, said that “the numbers don’t lie and they’re abysmal.”

“We have to be intentional about making sure that African Americans and other minorities get a chance to participate,” Ivory said during a Dec. 15 phone interview. Ivory was also in attendance at Boykin’s Dec. 11 press conference.

“Surely, the hospitals are benefactors of black people’s insurance, Medicaid and everything else,” he said, before recommending that CCHHS officials meet with the chamber, commissioners and Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle to discuss possible solutions. He also recommended that an evaluation of the contracting process be conducted and that county officials develop a strategy “and a game plan to fix the problem.”

“We were intentionally left out, which created a habit of leaving us out and therefore that created a culture of us being left out,” Ivory said. “The only way to change that is to create a habit and a culture of us being included. The same intentionality that was used to keep us out has to be used to include us in opportunities.”

CRAIG HALL

Maywood native tapped to help lead New York City Ballet A Maywood native is part of the interim team that was recently appointed to oversee the artistic management of the New York City Ballet after Peter Martins, the institution’s ballet master in chief, took a leave of absence, according to a recent report published by Broadway World.

Craig Hall, who first started dancing with Maywood Fine Arts, 25 N. 5th Ave. in Maywood, will be part of a four-person artistic team headed up by Justin Peck, NYCB’s resident choreographer and soloist, while the ballet company investigates allegations of sexual harassment made against Martins.

Hall, who is currently a ballet master with NYCB, performed with the company from 2000 to 2016. In 2007, Hall was promoted to soloist in the company and during his tenure, he became the first African American dancer at NYCB to perform as Apollo during the company’s prestigious season-ending program “Dancer’s Choice.”

According to the Broadway World article, the team that has replaced Martins in the interim will “work closely with the Company’s current artistic staff to oversee the day-to-day artistic life of the company, which includes such matters as casting, scheduling and conducting rehearsals, providing notes and other feedback to the Company’s artists, as well as addressing any other artistic concerns that may arise.”

PMSA students create holiday art in Maywood The cardboard works were inspired by a DreamWorks author

By COMMUNITY EDITOR Village Free Press

Proviso Township residents converged on Burton Park, at the corner of 15th Ave. and Washington Blvd., in Maywood, on Dec. 5 to unveil the Maywood Park District’s Christmas Holiday Windows, an exhibit created by Proviso Math and Science Academy students.

“The Maywood Park District Christmas Holiday Windows exhibit allows me to collaborate with art students from our local schools to showcase their work through our seasonal art exhibits,” said Dawn WilliamsRone, the president of the Maywood Park District Board of Commissioners.

“This project shows our youth that there is a bigger world outside of their community through reading and art,” she said. “My goal is to inspire students to explore different authors and literature and to give them opportunities to collaborate with their communities.”

Williams-Rone collaborates with the village of Maywood each year to organize the “Bringing Books to Life Series,” part of the village’s Christmas Holiday Window Project. Earlier this year, Williams-Rone asked author Jason Porath if she could use his book, Rejected Princesses, as inspiration for the students to create work to display.

D209 BONDS Big savings from page 1 over,” Patterson said during a Nov. 7 regular meeting where the issue was discussed.

“The money you got in 2008, it was supposed to be used for facilities. It wasn’t … This is not the first time money has been refinanced … We’ve been told before in this community that [money] was going to be put aside and when it came time to use it, it was nowhere to be found.”

Most district officials and board members, such as Supt. Jesse Rodriguez, touted the refinancing proposal as a major opportunity for significant savings, with Rodriguez calling the measure a “big deal” that will help the district maintain the 30 percent fund balance threshold that he considered to be critical to future financial solvency.

District officials said that, over the last three years, D209 has issued over $21 million in bonds to pay for capital upgrades. In 2008, the district issued working cash bonds to fund operations. During that time, officials noted, “there was a need for cash to pay the bills. When the District issued the 2008 bonds, there was a written provision that allowed the District to refinance the debt

District 209

Porath, a former DreamWorks animator, readily agreed and even showed up to the unveiling. PMSA visual arts instructor Kathleen Maltese incorporate the holiday windows project into her students’ curriculum.

The students worked with cardboard to bring Porath’s images to life through their own eyes.

“My favorite part of this project was painting it and seeing it come to life,” said one PMSA art student.

Dr. Bessie Karveles, PMSA’s principal, said the exhibit allowed students the opportunity to “reflect on the author’s purpose as they created artistic illustrations for the book. Thank you to Maywood Park District and Ms. Williams-Rone for hosting this artistic event.”

in the future, prior to the end date of the bonds.”

In effect, the district plans to use current funds on hand to pay off $10 million of the bonds that were issued in 2008 for operations, but which were never spent, and to re-issue $10 million worth of bonds this year that will be used for capital improvements.

In addition to reduced interest rate payments of roughly 3 percent, the transaction, officials say, could also increase the district’s non-referendum funding capacity by around $5 million — from $25.5 million to $30 million. District officials projected roughly $2 million in estimated savings from the refinancing.

According to a document drafted by representatives from Mesirow Financial, the district’s bond underwriter, the “refunding and expected substantial interest cost savings are a credit positive for the District and yet another example of prudent fiscal management with focus on cost reductions.”

The refunding could also be used as an opportunity to “re-engage rating agencies and illustrate the many positive financial trends” at D209, Mesirow representatives explained. Those positives include more cash on hand, long-term plans for capital improvements and the “transition to balanced budget from [a] history of structural deficits.”

Mesirow said that, while an increased

credit score isn’t a guaranteed result of the refinancing, an upgrade to high-A credit is possible for the district, which currently has an A credit rating from Standard & Poor’s — up from BBB. Despite the optimism of Mesirow representatives and other district officials, however, Kelly expressed some reservations on Nov. 7 about what she felt was the rushed nature of the refunding proceedings. In addition, Kelly, like Patterson, had the district’s history of refinancing at top of mind.

District officials said that timing was important, since market conditions could be different next year.

Todd Krzyskowski, a managing director with Mesirow, said that the district could refund the remaining $14 million of the $24 million in outstanding bonds next year. The total savings from refinancing all of the outstanding bonds could amount to around $5 million, he said.

According to Tod Altenburg, D209’s chief business official, the district refunded a portion of bonds issued in 2004 at the end of 2016. That action produced about $1 million in savings, he said.

“This board and I have a responsibility to make sure that we don’t make the mistakes of the past,” said Rodriguez, addressing Kelly’s and Patterson’s concerns. “I want to ensure you that together we’ve got to do it right.”

HOLIDAY WINDOWS: PMSA students collaborated earlier this month on a holiday window display, which can be seen at Burton Park in Maywood.

“The event gave us an excellent opportunity to connect with our community and highlight the phenomenal work of our students,” said PMSA’s assistant principal, Bill Breisch. “We are so proud of the art they produced and the connection they were able to make with our community partners in Maywood.”

On the frontlines of the opioid crisis Chicago Outreach Intervention Project fights to save, protect heroin users

By TIMOTHY INKLEBARGER Staff Reporter

On a chilly Monday afternoon in the West Side neighborhoods of Austin and West Garfield Park, the streets are quiet.

“Need rigs? Need rigs?” Vincent Lee, an outreach worker with the Chicago Outreach Intervention Project (COIP), a program run by the University of Chicago School of Public Health, calls out the window of COIP’s mobile services van to one of his regular clients.

“Rigs” are hypodermic needles used to shoot heroin — the group’s mission, which it takes on the road to various areas of the city five days a week, is to get users into treatment and help prevent the spread of HIV, Hepatitis C and other infectious diseases.

The outreach workers find their clients by cruising popular spots where heroin is sold, putting them in the middle of some of the most dangerous parts of the city.

About three years ago, the COIP van pulled into an area just minutes after a gang-related shooting left one dead, four injured and a vehicle full of bullet holes, according to Lee. He said Monday was a slow day because of the weather.

Their first client of the day steps into the van asking for rigs and for Narcan, a drug used to rapidly reverse the effects of opioids if a user overdoses.

Lee said the mobile services unit and the brick-and-mortar sites COIP runs in Austin, Humboldt Park, West Englewood, South Chicago, and Uptown, began handing out Narcan a couple of years ago.

The client is one of more than 7,000 that COIP provides with services.

Lee said most of their clients are on the West Side, and over the last five years, he’s seen the problem grow into an epidemic.

Although he’s spent years witnessing the destruction heroin has caused in communities, Lee said it still hurts him to see it. He said he recently had a client he was urging to get into treatment for her addiction — a young woman.

“I said, ‘I’ll get you into treatment,’ but she said, ‘I’m not ready for treatment,’” he recalled.

“You’re living in an abandoned building,” he reasoned. “When are you going to be ready for treatment?”

The demographics of clients are changing, too — more young users from the suburbs are getting hooked and ending up in the city, Lee said.

Working the frontlines of the opioid crisis, he’s seen increased use by clients of prescription medications like Xanax, a Benzodiazepine — known on the street as “benzos” — used to treat anxiety disorders.

And over the last several years, there has been ever-increasing circulation of heroin cut with Fentanyl, an opioid-based pharmaceutical pain reliever that is 50 to 100 times

more potent than morphine, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Vincent Palacios, who has been a COIP regular for about 15 years, is the second client of the day. He tells Lee there’s a batch of Fentanyl on the streets circulating now.

“But whoever’s doing it knows what they’re doing,” Palacios assured Lee. “It’s a good mix. It’s definitely a good mix.”

“How it cook up?” Lee asks, fishing for more information about whether a bad batch is on the streets.

“Like a light purple-ish,” Palacios explains.

“It clog the syringe up?” Lee asks.

“Uh, uh. No,” Palacios said. “That’s what I’m saying. It’s actually a good mix.”

He tells Lee that two bags of the Fentanyl-laced heroin will keep him high for 14 hours.

SUBURBAN PROBLEM: Julio Garcia, COIP site study coordinator, says suburban youth turning to heroin are ending up in the city. Left, the Chicago Outreach Intervention Project mobile services unit travels throughout Chicago five days a week providing drug recovery services to residents.

Lee continues questioning Palacios about withdrawal symptoms and whether he’s using the drug with methadone — Palacios is currently in a treatment program that provides methadone as an alternative to heroin.

Asked if he sees Fentanyl frequently, Palacios said he first came across the high-powered opioid in 2009; he said the drug hits the street in waves.

“It’s weird. Sometimes like when you see it, it’s everywhere, but then when it’s gone it’s hard to find,” Palacios said. “When they get it, it seems like they flood the damn streets with it and then, you know, when it’s gone you’ve got to wait until it comes back.

“Fentanyl is stronger than heroin, and me personally, I prefer the Fentanyl because, I think, it holds longer than the heroin.”

He admitted that he’s overdosed more times than he can count.

“Right now at this point in my life, I’m damn near 40 years old, I’ve been going to this [methadone] clinic for about roughly a year, and it does get tiring,” Palacios said. “I don’t need to come out here, obviously, because I go to the clinic. It’s not like I’m sick or anything like that. It’s just … I like the taste.”

At COIP’s West Side office, 4756 W. Madison St., intervention workers see as many as three dozen clients like Palacios every day, according to Julio Garcia, COIP’s site study coordinator.

The majority of clients are residents in the neighborhood and white kids and Latinos in their 20s and 30s.

Garcia said young, once-affluent users from the suburbs are harder to reach because they often go untreated in the early stages of their addiction. When the sale of small quantities of needles was legalized in the late 2000s, it made it easier for young, affluent users to get, he said.

“Now, in a weird way, it’s made it a little bit harder to reach these folks because problem with the suburban folks now is … they’re going to the pharmacy to get the stuff and going home,” he said. “They’re not hearing the harm-reduction part, they’re not hearing a referral for treatment and service and things like that.”

Those users eventually find themselves in the city, ill-equipped for the hard streets of Chicago, according to Garcia.

Suburban kids often start out using heroin with a small group of friends, which reduces their chances of getting an infectious disease. Once they reach the city, they begin sharing needles with strangers, which increases the odds of contracting HIV and Hepatitis C, he said.

“There hasn’t been that much of a focus on the young suburban groups and what they’re doing in terms of harm reduction and stuff because, of course, the suburbs says, ‘Not in our backyard,’ in terms of treat-

ment centers and that kind of stuff,” Garcia said. “So we’re kind of carrying the burden of the suburbs on us, and we don’t know how to really relate to them, in a sense, because they’re having a different experience than an inner-city black kid or an inner-city Latino kid.”

Over a decade ago, he noted, COIP was providing mobile services to places like Oak Park and Forest Park, but budget cuts at the state level have limited their ability to go beyond the western border of Chicago.

“That’s why we have the burden of the suburbs,” he said.

He noted that it can be difficult for users to get fresh needles in some suburbs because pharmacies charge more and require identification to purchase.

COIP is working to develop strategies to reach this population of suburban youth before they become heavily addicted.

“I think now [the heroin epidemic has] taken a second wave because of the ubiquity of opiates available,” he said. “Some of these kids that got injured, athletes that got injured in high school playing football or whatever, they gave them an opiate and then all of a sudden they get a habit.”

Once those users realize it is cheaper to get heroin in the city, they get exposed to harder drugs like heroin cut with Fentanyl.

“Those two combinations have really kind of like skyrocketed the young kids using even more,” he said.

Lightford blasts proposed currency exchange fee hikes A trade group wants to increase cost of cashing checks

By IGOR STUDENKOV Wednesday Journal

State Sen. Kimberly Lightford (4th), whose district includes all or parts of Bellwood, Broadview, Maywood and Melrose Park, has come out strongly against a proposal to increase the fees that currency exchanges charge every time a customer cashes a check.

Lightford spoke out against the proposed fee hikes during a Dec. 6 town hall held in Chicago and hosted by state Rep. La Shawn K. Ford (8th) and the Woodstock Institute, a Chicago-based economic equity advocacy group.

While many community members, elected officials and nonprofit advocates who attended the town hall were divided on whether currency exchanges were good for the community, everybody agreed that the rate hike will hurt people who depend on their services.

On Feb. 10, the Community Currency Exchange Association of Illinois asked the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation to increase the maximum rate currency exchanges can charge for cashing checks.

For checks worth $100 or less, the fee would go up from 1.4 percent of its value

plus $1 to 2.5 percent of the value plus $1.00.

For checks worth between $100.01 and $1,250, the rate would go up from 2.25 percent to 2.5 percent. For checks worth more than that, the rate would go up from 2.25 percent to 3 percent.

A fee for cashing a $100 check would go up from $2.40 to $3.50. For a $1,000 check, the fee would go up from $22.50 to $25. And for a $10,000 check, it would go up from $225 to $300.

According to an IDFR report, CCEA argued that the increase was necessary because it was struggling to make a profit in the face of growing expenses. Under state law, the department must ensure that rates aren’t “unreasonable and unconscionable,” while allowing currency exchanges to earn a “reasonable” profit.

On June 19, the department recommended approving the request. In its report, it stated that its own analysis supported CCEA’s arguments. However, IDFR still hasn’t given its final recommendation and that recommendation would need to be reviewed by the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules, a 12-member Illinois General Assembly committee evenly split between Democrats and Republicans, before it takes effect.

Institutions Committee, Woodstock has been a major have spoken out against opponent of the proposed the proposed increase, with increase. According to its Lightford testifying in support website, the non-profit develops of Woodstock’s proposal. State and advocates for policies Rep. Camille Lilly (78th) also that would increase economic opportunities in lower-income expressed support. residents, especially in Lightford described the communities that haven’t seen proposed fee increases as much investment. predatory.

The organization is proposing “I know the government to keep the fees for cashing likes to prey on communities KIMBERLY LIGHTFORD government-issued checks where there’s low income,” she the same and capping the fees said. “To me, this is another for all payroll checks at 2.25 attack on us, and shows that percent. The fees for other types of checks, [Governor Bruce Rauner] cares more about such as personal checks, would go up the businesses than people. way currency exchanges want.

Otis Monroe, founder and head of According to a Crain’s Chicago Business Monroe Foundation, a non-profit business report, Woodstock was responding to the development organization, said that the currency exchanges’ argument that fees issue wouldn’t be as significant if banks help offset losses when the checks they were willing to invest in the community. cash bounce. Since government checks “[Currency exchanges] want to raise can’t bounce and checks from employers profits because they see uptake in need,” he are less likely to issue bad checks, currency said. exchanges can afford not to raise fees on “We got to engage people,” Lightford said. those checks in particular.

“We got to empower our people to go into Ford, who serves as chair of the Financial banks.”
