State House passes minimum wage bill The $15 minimum wage proposal now headed to Gov. Pritzker’s desk By JERRY NOWICKI Capitol News Illinois
SPRINGFIELD – A bill to raise Illinois’ minimum wage to $15 by 2025 needs only Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s signature to become law, and his office said he stands ready to act in the coming days. “Today is a resounding victory for the 1.4 million Illinoisans who will soon get a hardearned and well-deserved raise,” Pritzker said in a news release Thursday. “After nearly a decade of delay, I applaud the House and Senate for passing a living wage with the fierce urgency this moment requires.” The House galleries were filled with cheers from advocates – many of them currently making the minimum wage – as the final 69-47-1 favorable vote became official. Prior to the final vote, Pritzker was on the House floor smiling and shaking the hands of Democratic lawmakers – even as Republican Minority Leader Jim Durkin was lamenting the lack of bipartisanship behind the effort in his floor speech. “This is not the way to start out the General Assembly,” Durkin said, adding Republicans had “basically been told your interests and your thoughts are not valid and we don’t care.” All in Durkin’s Republican caucus were joined by four Democrats opposing the bill while one, Stephanie Kifowit of Aurora, voted See MINIMUM WAGE on page 6

THE AUSTIN CANDIDATE: State Rep. La Shawn K. Ford, shown walking with young people in Springfield last year, said that he’s struggled for recognition being the sole Austin resident in the crowded race for mayor of Chicago.
‘Pay attention to Austin’
Ford, Enyia say Austin’s problems glossed over — in mayoral race and in general By MICHAEL ROMAIN & AARON ALLEN Editor & Contributing Reporter
State Rep. La Shawn K. Ford (7th) remembers Austin before the proliferation of vacant lots and boarded-up buildings. “I’ve been in Austin for the last 44 years,” he said in a recent interview. “I worked in the community, went to school here, and had my real estate and legislative offices here. I’ve seen the community go from what it once was to where it is today.” Ford recalled when Austin boasted “three grocery stores on Chicago Avenue,
and two banks on the corner of Chicago Avenue and Laramie.” Now, he said, those establishments are gone. The grammar school he once attended, Our Lady Help of Christians, was torn down. The West Side’s blight was on Ford’s mind when he announced that he would run for mayor of Chicago — the only candidate out of 14 people in the race for mayor who lives in Austin and one of just two, along with public policy expert Amara Enyia, who lives on the West Side. Both Ford and Enyia said the attention paid by most of the city’s power structure

to West Side issues is scant compared to the focus they bring to issues on the North and South sides. That disparity in focus, they said, has extended to the mayor’s race. “We have not gotten the attention we really want, but we do everything we can to keep our attention focused on the West Side,” Ford said. “You have to have somebody in the race who will talk about West Side issues. I believe Austin is a reflection of what most black Chicago neighborhoods are like, which is why I think we’ll See WEST SIDE CANDIDATES on page 6

Veterans of West Side Blues recall the music
Carl Norington and Milton Houston remember the music’s golden age By BONNI McKEOWN Contributor
In Garfield Park, at the corner of Lake and Kenzie — south and west of where the 67,000-squarefoot Hatchery promises to incubate new food businesses — stands an empty, fenced-in lot. Four decades ago the spot was Ground Zero for the West Side’s most powerful blues music. At the bottom of the steps from the Green Line stood the front door of Silvio’s — the famous den of Howlin’ Wolf and other blues giants that attracted filmmakers and photographers from outside of the community. Bass player Carl Norington, who has lived a block away on Walnut Street since 1959, says he was most familiar with the back door. “The back door of Silvio’s faced across the alley to the back door of our apartment,” said Norington, whose most recent assignment was in the band of Elmore James Jr. “Standing on our back porch I’d hear the music,” he said. “A bunch of us kids would go stand at the back door and look MILTON HOUSTON in. There was a big Blues musician exhaust fan and bars on the back door. I won’t forget that tavern smell of smoke and alcohol.” Norington laughed and recited the lyrics to one of Willie Dixon’s famed songs, sung by Howlin’ Wolf: “I was the ‘Back Door Man.’” Nearby was the Bossanova lounge. Two blocks away at Lake and Sacramento was the Boula Boula. Duke’s Blue Flame and the Avenue Lounge stood at California and Madison, near the site of now-closed Wallace Catfish Corner. Ma Bea’s lounge was at Sacramento and Madison. The Delta Fish Market began in the 1980s in a storefront at Washington and Kedzie. Owner Oliver Davis moved it to a converted gas station at Jackson and Kedzie, where he built a stage and featured live blues to go along with the fresh fish he hauled up from Mississippi. Ike Sims, whose family came from Augusta, Ga. ran a lounge, Martin’s Corners, on the eastern West Side at Wolcott and Lake. Then Sims, uncle of former 29th Ward alderman Ike Carothers, opened the Oasis on Lake and Kedzie across from Silvio’s. It would take a book to describe all the blues, jazz, R&B and soul clubs operating on Chicago’s West Side from the 1950s through

the 2000. This is the music of the African American Great Migration. Norington was born in Chicago in 1948; his mother had lived in Chicago since she was two, and his dad moved here from Panola, Ala. Carl attended Ralph Waldo Emerson grammar school, as did a future Alligator recording artist, guitarist Lil Ed Williams. From 1963 to 1967, Carl went to John Marshall School, where jazzman Ramsey Lewis’ sister was a teacher. The school spawned a
whole generation of skilled musicians. “I was interested in music, but too shy at the time to get into it, “ said Norington. “I played as a kid by myself, sometimes in the washroom, but nobody knew it. I started out playing guitar. At that time everybody wanted to be (jazz guitarist) Wes Montgomery with his double octaves. I listened to a lot of jazz and took lessons at Crown Music on Chicago Avenue, but it was going too slow for me.”
Then Norington realized he really wanted to play the bass guitar. “We were trying to get a teenage band together at one of the houses down the street,” he said, before referencing a photo of the band. “All the guys in the photo are dead now. I’m the only one left. One of my bandmates, Gerald Moore, would switch between guitar and bass, and that’s how I got the idea to learn the bass.” When he was around 18, Norington started playing professionally at local joints in the neighborhood. There was music around the city at all hours. He played one gig on the South Side with Little Howlin Wolf (aka Lee Solomon) that started at 6 a.m. Bobby Rush, Freddie King, Luther Allison, Magic Sam, Eddie Taylor Sr. — they all played at Silvio’s, later renamed the Riviera, and the other clubs. Carl watched an Alligator Records recording session at Silvio’s featuring Koko Taylor and Mighty Joe Young. “Then, in 1968, the riots came,” Norington said. “The Riviera wasn’t destroyed, but it was broken into. Everything slowed up in the area, but I kept playing and started my first band, the Brotherhood, in the late 1960s, with John Primer, who lived at Fulton and Kedzie.” His other ‘brothers’ were Dennis Woodard and Willie Prowell. Norington had found other bluesmen and women living around Lake and Kedzie, including singer Mary Lane, bass player and singer Willie Kent on Carroll Ave., Eddie King on Homan and Fulton, guitarist Luther Allison on Maypole, and Lee Solomon on

倀 甀 渀 挀 栀 ㌀ ㈀ Walnut. As a security guard at the Riviera for big Howlin’ Wolf, Solomon began learning to sing like him. In 1977, Norington was surprised to discover another musical neighbor, guitarist Milton Houston, a cousin from his father’s Alabama hometown. Houston was in a wheelchair, recovering from a variety of illnesses, including a nervous breakdown. When Houston had come to Chicago in 1959, he was already playing professionally, along with his brothers Sweet Man, Whoopy and Boston Blackie. “I can’t tell you all the places I played,” Houston said. Houston played with Same Cooke four nights at the white-owned Graemere Hotel, with its fancy circle driveway, at Homan and Washington (a senior apartment building stands there now). They played “You Send Me” and other hits. Houston played with Art Stalwell, known as Shorty, in the mid-1960s, on Maxwell Street, where he sold bags of peanuts and vegetables from his own stand. He played with the country band Rhythm Aces. He played with guitar great Freddie King in Cicero. He also played with harmonica ace Little Walter at the infamous corner of 16th and Kedzie, cater-corner to the ElDorado lounge.
Milton said the owners named Bert, Eugene and Frank sold cheap liquor at their bar and liquor store. They bounced out anyone who tried to fight, but then they went outside and cut each other with knives. People got to calling the place “Bucket of Blood.” Houston tried to dodge the fights, but playing everywhere took a toll. “In 1977, I had three jobs and three women,” Houston recounted his own blues story. “My wife left. The kids were little at the time. I had a nervous breakdown. For months I didn’t know who or where I was. I lost my mind, forgot everything, couldn’t walk. One day my mother and daddy came over. I got up out of the wheelchair, followed my mom’s voice and started to go down the steps after she left. I couldn’t walk right, fell down the steps. When I hit the bottom door I came to myself. Felt like I had been dead for a while.” Kansas City Red, a drummer who led a band, and Willie Buckner talked Houston into coming back to play guitar. Illinois Slim — a white guitarist and serious student of West Side blues whose real name was Tom Moris — asked Houston for pointers. “They got me up on the bandstand,” Houston recalled. “I said, ‘I really know who I am now.’ I’m glad God pulled me through.” CONTACT: michael@austinweeklynews.com

WEST SIDE CANDIDATES More attention needed from page 1 be ready on day one to represent the city.” During an interview earlier in the campaign, Enyia said she’s seen the West Side go virtually unnoticed her entire professional life. “One of the things that struck me when I started working is we never talked about the West Side of Chicago,” she said. “It was like that part of the city didn’t exist. Austin, in particular, is a huge community that has some pretty significant issues — especially if you’re down in Central and South Austin — but it also has a large population of middle-class families, professionals, teachers, judges and lawyers who also live there.” Enyia said she was lured to the West Side from suburban University Park, where her father had been working. She decided to make the move after graduating from college and going to work in government herself. “The idea that you can have entire communities completely off the radar by decision-makers in the city was just unacceptable to me, so I left and started working in Austin,” she said. Enyia said one major challenge that is unique to the West Side is the lack of economic investment. “We have key corridors that could be so much more vibrant that are not,” she said. “The city has to actually target economic investment in those areas because private investment follows public investment.” Ford said his experience as a legislator in Springfield has taught him the importance
MINIMUM WAGE Increase ahead from page 1 present after two hours of debate. In their final efforts to derail the fasttracked bill, Republicans once again shared stories from business owners, universities, colleges and schools within their districts detailing layoffs, closures and increased property taxes. Rep. Charlie Meier, an Okawville Republican, said the bill would hurt agriculture and small-town businesses such as groceries. “The small family farms will suffer the worst with the organic farms, orchards, vineyards, wineries, and the livestock industry being hit the hardest of all,” Meier said. “This is another Illinois law that will yet again put our region at a disadvantage.” Rep. Tom Bennett, a Gibson City Republican, cited a National Federation of Independent Businesses study which said Illinois would see 93,000 jobs lost because of the increase. Rep. Terri Bryant, a Murphysboro

his unique role as a state lawmaker — he
is the only sitting member of the General Assembly running for mayor. “With many of the problems in the city, the fixes are in Springfield,” he said. “We have to bring money back from Springfield for capital projects and schools; we have to change state laws that are on the books in order to fix our criminal justice system; the pension problem impacting Chicago has to be changed; you have to have somebody with relationships in the capitol to deal with those issues.” Ford, the only candidate to officially announce his mayoral campaign in Austin,
believes his campaign is most representative of the city’s largest community. “My message has been clear,” he said. “We have to make sure we deal with the West Side of Chicago because if the West Side does better, the whole city does better.” Read more about Ford’s and Enyia’s specific policy proposals for the West Side in extended interviews online at austinweeklynews.com.

Republican, said the bill would cost Illinois’ public universities $112 million by the time it is implemented. Republicans also brought up the hundreds of millions of dollars the bill would add to the state’s expenditures as human service providers – especially nursing homes, 25 of which have closed since 2014 because of inadequate Medicaid reimbursements – universities and other departments request more funding to pay for the higher labor costs. But Rep. Will Guzzardi, Senate Bill 1’s House sponsor, continued to point to data which shows no impact on job losses when communities see an “incremental” minimum wage increase, and spoke to the dignity of the worker. “The only way to stop being poor is to have more money,” he said. “And that’s what this legislation is going to do. The working poor in our state are going to have more money. We will treat their labor with the dignity and respect it deserves, and we will allow them to provide a better standard of living for themselves and their families.” While Republicans continued to argue that the studies cited by Guzzardi predict only
an incremental increase – not an 82 percent spike in six years – many Democrats were convinced by the moral argument. Rep. Emmanuel “Chris” Welch of Westchester was among them. “People should not go to work 40 hours a week and still not be able to put food on the table,” he said. “Dr. King said there is nothing but short-sightedness to prevent us from guaranteeing a livable income for every American. Let’s not be shortsighted today.” Rep. Celina Villanueva, a Chicago Democrat, said further progress was necessary and the fight for 15 was only the “first step” toward worker dignity. “What we’re really talking about is the dignity and respect of our workers,” she said. “I don’t think 15 is enough. I’ve never thought 15 was enough.” Guzzardi said 41 percent of all workers in Illinois make less than $15 per hour, and more of those workers are in their 40s, 50s and 60s than are younger than 25; and 48 percent of African Americans and 61 percent of Latinos make less than $15 per hour. Those minimum-wage workers will begin seeing their increases in January 2020, when the minimum rate goes from $8.25 to $9.25 be-
fore increasing to $10 on July 1, 2020, and $11 on Jan. 1 2021. After that, it would increase by $1 every January until it hits $15 in 2025. For Iashea Cross, a personal assistant and low-wage worker in the health care field who was in the gallery from Chicago, the bill means a brighter outlook in the future. “I might be able to let go of that second job in the future that I have just to make ends meet,” she said. “For me, the passage of this bill means that finally we are being recognized as the working people of the state that help it continue to move forward.” The bill also maintains a tip credit, which allows employers to pay tipped workers 60 percent of the minimum wage if tips make up the other 40 percent. A training wage for teen seasonal workers is also part of the bill, and that wage will top out at $13 per hour. A tax credit for businesses with less than 50 full-time equivalent employees is also part of the final bill, starting at 25 percent of the difference between the current minimum wage and an employee’s wage in the final quarter of the previous calendar year. It would decrease by 4 percent each year until it hits 5 percent in the final two years. CONTACT: michael@austinweeklynews.com

A phony hate crime is a hateful waste of time
ussie ... Jussie ... Jussie ... from the moment I heard his story, it didn’t pass my sniff test. And when I posted that on social media, I became fodder for attack. “The man is famous. He’s gay. Of course he should be able to go out at 2 in the morning to get a sandwich. You are So disgusting,” is an example of the comments I received. Those folks who love to see and hear “black people as victims” stories jumped on this one like white on rice. Why even Congressman Bobby Rush got involved by writing a letter to the FBI demanding an investigation into the “hate” crime. Other elected officials and well-known celebrities all chimed in. Their fingers were all pointed at Donald Trump and his supporters. And the alleged mentioning of MAGA was all that was needed to validate a story that didn’t make sense. Even more interesting was an interview I saw posted by Roland Martin. Although numerous people had privately emailed him and told him he should wait because the story wasn’t making sense, he trudged on regardless. In the video, when the black Republican communication consultant, Melik Abdul cautioned that the story was discombobulated and it should be approached with caution, he was thoroughly castigated by Dr. Julianne Malveaux and Dr. Cleo Manago. Both, as representatives of black activism, were adamant that Jussie was a friend of the community and that no one should dare to imply that the story was anything other than the God’s honest truth! Jussie’s alleged attack happened early in the morning on Jan. 29. One day later,
everyone who had heard the story had begun to form sides. I will say one thing: I am very impressed with the number of people who jumped on the “I don’t believe it” side. Personally, I had several issues that concerned me. One was the fact that if two people jumped him, what caused them to stop? Also, there was never any definitive explanation as to how exactly the rope/noose got around his neck? Also, why did they leave him with the cellphone? And lastly, why didn’t he call the police from the spot where he was jumped as opposed to walking back to his apartment and then calling 911 a half-hour or so later? Jussie is a celebrity and Empire filming here brings money. So of course CPD is going to do an excellent job of looking into the alleged attack. The end result is that, as I write this column, Jessie is accused of having hired two Nigerians brothers and paying them money to create a phony attack. As this entire debacle unravels, there should be no forgiveness if this is proved to be a false report. Chicago has too many heinous crimes occurring to allow resources to be used on false claims. This would be an excellent opportunity for CPD to get the community to help them solve “real” crimes that won’t waste their time!

Aldermanic write-in candidate answers questions
Otis Percy is running for the 37th Ward alderman seat By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor
Otis Percy, 46, is running for the 37th Ward aldermanic seat as a write-in candidate. He could not be reached for an interview before we published our special election issue earlier this month, so we’re publishing excerpts from an interview we conducted with him last week.
Education What are your opinions on school closing? Charter school? Student-based budgeting? There isn’t any legitimate reason to close schools in Chicago. How can the city council allocate some needed resources and funds from a broken school system that’s underfunded, that they’re responsible for defunding? Charter schools are private entities that calculate our children as inventory. Schoolbased budgeting is a flawed system implemented to account for school closure. When they’re defunding programs that keep the attention of troubled youth, as well as academic scholars. If alderman, would you push for the

Taliaferro picks up endorsement from West Side clergy
said of Davis, before saying that his mayoral campaign “will not be bought.” Wilson added that his campaign will also focus on helping individuals expunge their criminal records, creating a fund (10 percent to 15 percent of the city’s budget) to pay for families who can’t affordable to send their children to college and for senior citizens to pay for transportation, prescription drugs and groceries. “[The fund will help seniors] ride the bus free of charge for those who cannot afford to ride those buses,” Wilson said.

Congressman Danny K. Davis (7th) recently announced his endorsements for the upcoming mayoral and aldermanic races during a press conference held Feb. 17 at MacArthur’s Restaurant, 5412 W. Madison St. Davis is backing businessman Willie Wilson for mayor and endorsing every incumbent in the 24th, 28th, 29th and 37th Ward races, including 24th Ward Ald. Michael Scott, Jr., 28th Ward Ald. Jasono Ervin, 29th Ward Ald. Chris Taliaferro and 37th Ward Ald. Emma Mitts. Davis is also endorsing state Rep. Monica Conyears-Ervin (10th) for city treasurer. Speaking of Wilson, Davis lauded Wilson’s leadership style, saying that Wilson “has promised to build a team. He’s not going to try and dictate and rule the city of Chicago, because his experiences in Louisiana sharecropping have told him that one mule can’t pull a wagon, but you’ve got to have a team.” Davis added that his support for Wilson

Mayoral candidates talk West Side investment at forum The Feb. 9 event at Malcolm X College featured 7 candidates
By SAVANNAH EADENS AustinTalks
At a mayoral candidate forum hosted last weekend by the Chicago Westside Branch of the NAACP, candidate Lori Lightfoot’s opening statements foreshadowed the afternoon’s conversation. “If we do not do something radical and transformative to invest in the West Side, we will no longer be a great city,” Lightfoot said. “And we will continue to see the mass exodus of low-income and middle-income black folks out of the city of Chicago.” The Feb. 9 panel was held at Malcolm X College, where eight of the 14 mayoral candidates discussed issues plaguing the West Side, including city investment, corruption, education and violence. Amara Enyia, Bob Fioretti, state Rep. La Shawn K. Ford, John Kolzar, Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, Paul Vallas and Willie Wilson also participated in last weekend’s forum, one of many being held ahead of the election on Feb. 26 Throughout the forum, both Enyia, head of the Austin Chamber of Commerce, and Ford, who represents Austin in the Illinois House, leveraged their connections to the West Side. “I live on the West Side,” Enyia said in her opening statements. “It’s quite unfortunate that in 2019, my lifespan will be 20 fewer years than my counterparts downtown. That is not on accident. That is the result of tangible public policies that disinvested, ignored and overlooked the West Side since 1968 and before.” In response to a question about implementing structural reform in “one of the most corrupt cities in the U.S.” most of the candidates agreed on limiting aldermanic authority, expanding audit power for the Inspector General and called for transparency in public officials. Vallas made what seemed to be an indirect comment about Enyia, saying that in order to root out corruption, public officials should give full disclosure of information like their tax returns, which he said “a number of candidates have not filed.” Enyia seemed unfazed by comments about

ENGAGING THE WEST SIDE: Candidates for mayor of Chicago during a Feb. 9 mayoral forum hosted by the Chicago Westside Branch NAACP. her tax returns, which have been reported on by the Chicago Tribune. Asked how they would use their mayoral power to improve the quality of life on the West Side, Enyia shared a plan that focuses on the Chicago Department of Planning and Economic Development and called for a $10 million innovation fund for start-up businesses with “models that create pathways to ownership.” “We need to own the businesses in our neighborhood,” Enyia said. She also detailed initiatives to change the Neighborhood Opportunity Fund to give businesses upfront capital to invest in the community rather than reimbursing business owners, which is what the current program provides. Vallas called for allocating one-third of TIF revenue to West Side equity investment, taking advantage of the more than 130 opportunity zones, and hiring blacks and Latinos within the community. Preckwinkle echoed her opponents. “The downtown area glitters and sparkles, and it is filled with cranes,” Preckwinkle said. “But in many of our neighborhoods, there are empty lots.” Preckwinkle also said as mayor, she would reinstate the Chicago Department of Housing to promote affordable housing across the city.
“I know that the alderman on the West Side want development, they want affordable housing, and the mayor needs to support their efforts to do it,” Preckwinkle said. The issue of economic investment and affordable housing hit home for Austin resident Serethea Reid, who is president of the Central Austin Neighborhood Association. She took notes throughout the forum. “If you’re a major developer, the city will provide all sorts of infrastructure and incentives, pave the streets, fix the lights,” Reid said. “But if you’re a small business owner, they want you to go into a war zone and get it up and running and give a ‘rebate’ later.” Reid, who has lived in Austin for 10 years, said in addition to economic development, public safety is the biggest concern among residents in the community. “You cannot have robust economic development if people do not feel safe,” Reid said. “You cannot get people to invest in places where they do not feel safe. It prohibits growth, and the neighborhood cannot flourish. Ford said as mayor he would build up community by investing in public education, first and foremost. “We need to address the mental and behavioral health of our community, so that we can
also have a physically and mentally stable community, and reduce crime,” Ford said. Preckwinkle said the only way to solve the issue of violence in Chicago is to create better connections between police and residents. Other candidates referred to the Chicago consent decree. Ford was the only candidate who directly cited racism in the city’s police force. Lesser-known candidate Kolzar said he would implement an ordinance requiring 60 percent of the police force hired within the communities they serve to “alleviate tension.” Cassandra Norman, a retired CPD officer and president of the South Austin Neighborhood Association, said she agreed with the candidates who said it is important for police officers to look like the residents they serve. “Even when I go to the grocery store now, people still call me Officer Norman and I’ve been retired for seven years,” Norman said. She said Austin residents are not necessarily playing favorites with the candidates from the West Side. “Enyia and Ford have familiarity in Austin, but there are so many candidates, we really have to look at the issues and where each of them stands.” Norman said there has been a lot of buzz in Austin about Enyia’s taxes. According to a recent Tribune article, Enyia omitted one-third of her income on her 2017 federal tax return. “Of course, there’s a concern about how she is spending her own money,” Norman said. “How can she manage money as a public official? We have invested in a mayor who handles a lot of money, and she’s showing us how she handles her own money.” In a moment that drew laughs from the crowd, the candidates were asked to answer “yes” or “no” about whether they would support the next mayor of Chicago if they lose the election. Wilson responded, “I am the chosen one.” The question went down the line of candidates who all responded “yes,” except for Vallas, who chuckled and said, “I’ll support Willie if he is the chosen one.” CONTACT: austintalks.org@gmail.com
