The state has had no budget since July 1, and Gov. Bruce Rauner has had to make serious cuts to state services not covered by court orders that bar him from cutting their budgets.

No cuts are popular, but one chop Rauner made prompted a noisy, sustained and, as of today, partially successful lobbying effort to restore the governor's cuts to the popular Child Care Assistance Program. An emergency rule issued by Rauner reduced eligibility so much that 90 percent of parents trying to sign-up after July 1 found themselves ineligible — even those who earn the minimum wage at a full-time job!

The child care assistance program began in the welfare reform era of the 1990s. Championed by Republicans and Democrats alike, the idea was to move people from welfare to work by making sure they could afford decent, affordable day care for their young children. It has worked well and still enjoys broad-based political support. The U.S. provides 60 percent of the program's nearly $1 billion yearly cost; the state contributes a 40 percent match. Before the cuts, the program served 86,400 Illinois families whose 160,700 children benefit from subsidies through the state’s Child Care Assistance Program to more than 29,000 child care providers, according to The State Journal-Register of Springfield.

Today, Rauner walked part way back. His communications advisor, Lance Trover, released a statement saying, “As a result of bipartisan discussions with legislators concerning the future of the Child Care Assistance Program, the Rauner administration today plans to amend the emergency rule it filed at the beginning of the fiscal year. Under the amended rule, income eligibility will rise to 162 percent of the federal poverty level while current co-pays will remain intact. Other eligibility and restrictions will also be lifted pending further review and legislative consultation. Additionally, the governor’s office will establish a bipartisan, bicameral task force aimed at ensuring the long-term stability of the program."

Rauner acted one day before a House vote scheduled Tuesday on Senate Bill 570, which would restore all Rauner's cuts to state-assisted day care and remove his power to change eligibility rules in the future. That power would shift to the Legislature, which is controlled by Democrats.

Rep. Litesa Wallace, D-Rockford, is a co-sponsor of SB570, which she predicted "will pass in the House with enough votes (71) to sustain a veto."

Wallace cautioned that "there is still no bill I've seen that appropriates the money we need" to continue funding at the pre-cut level.

However, because of Rauner's peace offering, a concurrence vote in the Senate will be delayed until at least Nov. 17, said Senate sponsor Toi Hutchinson, D-Olympia Fields.

Putin Mulls His Next Move with ISIS, but His Options Are Limited - Yahoo Finance

Increasing evidence that the Russian airliner carrying 224 people that crashed in Egypt on Oct. 31 was taken down by a bomb planted by the terror group ISIS has generated quite a bit of speculation about how Russian President Vladimir Putin might react.

With Russian jets already conducting airstrikes in Syria, at least some of which have been directed at ISIS, would Putin escalate the Russian presence in the Middle East? He could increase the assets dedicated to the air campaign and perhaps even declare that Russian ground troops, taken off the table at the start of the air operations, are now a possibility.

The Kremlin has actively pushed back on Western assertions that the crash appears to be the result of a bomb, delaying the need to deliver a public response if that does turn out to be the case. But a scholar who studies the Russian military says that if Putin is faced with the need to ratchet up the pressure in Syria, his options are actually severely limited.

According to Pavel K. Baev, a research professor at the Peace Research Institute in Oslo and a non-resident senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, the combination of an ongoing military action in Ukraine and an ill-equipped force that went through an incomplete “reform” in the past decade has left the Russian military machine badly overstretched.

“The Russian intervention in Syria is only possible at all because the “hybrid war” in Eastern Ukraine, which has tied up the bulk of Russian combat-capable battalions, has seen virtually no use of the air force,” Baev wrote in a paper published on the Brookings website. “Moscow sought to use this free capacity for staging demonstrations of air power over the Baltic theater but encountered effective containment — it has since scaled down its provocations. Syria appeared an easier option, and the deployment of an air regiment to the hastily prepared Hmeymym airbase outside Latakia went remarkably smoothly. As the air war has moved into the second month, however, issues with its trajectory have emerged.”

He continues, “Escalation will be difficult because few other power projection options are available. The cruise missile salvo by the frigates of the Caspian flotilla on Russian President Vladimir Putin’s birthday was sensational, but it has seriously upset Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan and so cannot be repeated. It had little resonance on the battlefield anyway.

“Expanding the scale of intervention would be logistically very difficult. The Russian navy had to lease and purchase eight commercial transports in order to deliver supplies for the operation at the level of up to 50 sorties a day (which means one sortie per aircraft). Its only aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov is undergoing repairs (as it is most of the time), and the navy command could only dream of building an amphibious assault ship that would compare with Mistral-class ships, which France has refused to deliver.

In Baev’s assessment – and that of a number of other observers – Putin’s intervention in Syria was as much about supporting his own image at home as it was about helping out Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad, one of his few allies in the region. The Russian people are still struggling under a dismal economy and over the past two years Putin’s public remarks have seemed increasingly bellicose, casting Russia as a country besieged by its enemies.

Since the advent of the Syria operation, Russian media, mostly controlled by the Kremlin, has been overflowing with pictures and videos of Russian airstrikes and stories outlining their success.

However, aside from a relatively small amount of territory changing hands, the overall effect of the Russian airstrikes appears to have been limited. If Putin was hoping to quickly force peace talks on the rebels fighting Assad and on ISIS, he has failed, and is now faced with a dilemma. He can either remain in Syria and risk taking a large share of the blame if things go south or pull out without a clear victory.

Baev warns that Putin may eventually determine that he needs yet another military adventure to distract from the “quagmire” developing in Syria.

Georgia might be chosen again as a target of convenience, but the fact of the matter is that there are fewer and fewer uncommitted military capabilities to wield.

The bottom line is that, for the sake of regime survival, Putin has fallen back to the “safe” position of military confrontation. But the Russian military is not able to prevail in that confrontation and the Russian economy cannot possibly sustain it.

Illinois explains decision to fire athletic director Mike Thomas - Sports - Rockford Register Star - Rockford, IL

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Illinois fired athletic director Mike Thomas on Monday, saying he had done nothing wrong but a change was needed after football and women's basketball players alleged they had been mistreated by their coaches.

Thomas, who will be paid $2.5 million to buy out the remainder of his contract, said he believes he acted appropriately but accepts the decision.

"I believe it is a good time to turn the page and put the focus of this organization back on the success and welfare of our student-athletes," Thomas said in a prepared statement.

Thomas is the latest high-profile leader to be swept aside in the turmoil at the university's flagship campus this year, following the resignation of one of his top backers, chancellor Phyllis Wise, and the August firing of football coach Tim Beckman.

The school also released final reports on independent investigations into the players' allegations. The football report found that Beckman pressured players to play hurt and interfered in medical decisions, echoing details that were disclosed when he was fired, but the women's basketball investigation found no evidence of racially motivated player mistreatment as alleged by seven former players.

Interim chancellor Barbara Wilson praised Thomas for leading the athletic department through a difficult six months, but said the university's sports programs needed a fresh start. She declined to offer details on exactly why she decided to fire Thomas.

"It's time to put the distractions of the past months behind us," Wilson said at a news conference at Memorial Stadium. "This has not been an easy decision, but I believe it's the one that will allow us to concentrate on the future."

The move leaves hiring decisions still to be made on a head football coach, where Bill Cubit is serving on an interim basis, athletic director and their boss, the chancellor.

Senior associate athletic director Paul Kowalczyk will take over for Thomas as interim athletic director. He said he planned to quickly meet with coaches on campus and with major donors and business partners to try to assure them that the sports programs and projects such as the renovation of the State Farm Center basketball arena are on track.

"I'm going to take the helm at this point and try to calm the waters," said Kowalczyk, who added that Thomas offered to help him get up to speed. "I feel for the guy."

Allegations of mistreatment by former football player Simon Cvijanovic surfaced in May, and the report found that Beckman "employed tactics that violated standards related to sports medicine protocols and scholarships."

For the women's basketball program, the report said claims that against coach Matt Bollant and an assistant created a racially abusive environment were unfounded. The assistant, Mike Divilbiss, quit months ago, and the players have sued the school, Bollant and Thomas. A former women's soccer player also sued the school, claiming she was improperly cleared to play after a concussion.

Amid all of that, Wise resigned in August, just before the university revealed she used a private email account to avoid scrutiny of her discussions of university business.

Thomas came to Illinois from Cincinnati in 2011, replacing longtime athletic director Ron Guenther. He received a contract extension and a raise a year and a half ago, and university trustees praised him for the $60 million generated when the university sold the naming rights to the Assembly Hall arena to State Farm help pay for its $165 million renovation.

Thomas also moved to shore up the Illini's high-profile struggling teams, firing football coach Ron Zook, men's basketball coach Bruce Weber and women's basketball coach Jolette Law. Fans, however, were lukewarm about his hiring of Beckman, men's basketball coach John Groce and Bollant.

Election 2016: Clinton targeted in ad from group tied to Koch brothers - CBS News

 

WASHINGTON -- Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton on Friday makes her first appearance in a negative advertisement funded by the wealthy Republican donors tied to billionaires Charles and David Koch.

A 30-second ad aimed at Internet users in South Carolina and Florida shows headlines about the number of veterans who have died while awaiting health care. Then it shows a recent MSNBC interview with Clinton, who said of problems at the Department of Veterans Affairs, "It's not been widespread as it has been made out to be."

"Not widespread?" text in the ad says. "Our veterans deserve better."

Play Video

 

The digital ad, backed by at least $100,000 from Concerned Veterans for America, a nonprofit group that does not identify its donors, is timed to run as Clinton participates in a Democratic candidate forum in South Carolina.

Clinton is "completely out of touch" with VA issues, which are "inarguably widespread," Dan Caldwell, a spokesman for Concerned Veterans for America, told The Associated Press on Thursday.

After Republicans criticized her remarks in the MSNBC interview, Clinton's campaign said she was "outraged" by VA delays in providing care.

Concerned Veterans for America is one of a half-dozen political and policy groups funded by the Kochs and hundreds of like-minded donors. That network is poised to spend a generous portion of at least $750 million over this year and next on issues relevant to the presidential race.

The ad marks the first major paid media effort by a Koch group to ding Clinton's 2016 candidacy.

As she gains steam in a three-candidate Democratic primary, while the Republican nominating process is far from settled, GOP groups are beginning their Clinton attack efforts.

The veterans ad follows a television commercial a week ago by a political group called Future 45. That ad focused on Clinton's work as secretary of state, particularly in Libya, concluding with a narrator saying: "Responsible for a disaster. More threats. More war."

Although the group spent only about $65,000 airing the spot a few times, according to Kantar Media's CMAG ad tracker, there are signs that more Clinton attacks are on the way.

On Monday at a New York fundraiser for Republican opposition group America Rising, headlined by 2012 GOP nominee Mitt Romney, donors were encouraged to support Future 45, an attendee told the AP. The attendee was not authorized to share details from the private event and requested anonymity.

Republican hedge-fund billionaires Paul Singer of New York and Kenneth Griffin of Chicago are among those who have already written six-figure checks to Future 45, a fundraising report filed in July shows. The group's name references the 45th president, who will be elected next November.

Solar Fight in Florida Heats Up with Mysterious Donor | PR Watch

 

The largest contribution so far to an anti-consumer measure to impede access to solar energy just came from a mysterious new donor.

This new donation comes as the battle over whether consumers in Florida can install home solar is heating up, with rival state constitutional amendments both aiming for the ballot in 2016.

On one side are consumer and environmental groups promoting home solar, and on the other—trying to block consumer access—are major utilities, groups linked to the Koch brothers and a new mysterious funder.

"Consumers for Smart Solar" is the misleading name of the group created to promote an amendment to the Florida Constitution that would protect the monopoly of the utilities. CMD/PRWatch has reported on its known funders and activities, and has jointly with the Energy & Policy Institute published research on the corporate ties of Consumers for Smart Solar.

These funders include Duke Energy ($160,000), Florida Power and Light ($175,000), Gulf Power ($180,000,) and Tampa Electric Company ($175,000). It has also received checks from groups known to be backed by the Koch brothers: the 60 Plus Association ($150,000) and the National Black Chamber of Commerce ($50,000). A complete list is below.

"Let's Preserve the American Dream" Spends $200K

The largest contribution so far, for $200,000, was reported by Consumers for Smart Solar as being received in September from a state Political Action Committee called "Let's Preserve the American Dream PAC," a group that is run by leadership from Associated Industries of Florida (AIF), a powerful industry lobby group.

Under Florida's campaign finance system, Let's Preserve the American Dream PAC is required to disclose its expenditures and sources of funding, but in its own September filing it made no reference to having given $200,000 to Consumers for Smart Solar.

So what gives?

Jeremy Wallace of the Miami Herald, who first reported on this, asked Ryan Tyson, Executive Director of the PAC, about the discrepancy and was told it was an error by Consumers for Smart Solar.

According to Tyson, the grant should have been reported as being from a newly formed group, also called Let's Preserve the American Dream (yes, that is the exact same name as the PAC), but which has been created as a 501(c)(4) Social welfare organization, and so it does not have to disclose its funding. Since the Miami Herald ran its story, the filings have been updated and now record the grant as coming from the new 501(c)(4) group.

Tyson separately claimed to CBS Miami that "the Let's Preserve the American Dream organizations are entirely different, with separate missions and purposes."

As if that were not confusing enough, leadership for Let's Preserve the American Dream, former U.S. Congressman Tom C. Feeney (President) and Ryan Tyson (Executive Director), are also the President and Vice President respectively of AIF.

And yet, AIF claims that it is itself not taking a position on the solar fight. Perhaps unsurprisingly, AIF's own Political Action Committee receives funding from Florida utilities, having received $156,500 from Florida Power & Light in 2015

Despite the tangle of relationships between Let's Preserve the American Dream (both entities), their shared leadership with each other and with AIF, and the identified connections to the Florida utilities, it may never be possible to discover the original source of the $200,000 grant.

The funding might be from the Florida utilities, but it could also be some other donor trying to keep voters in the dark.

This is unfortunate, both because this ballot initiative is of significant consequence for Florida energy consumers, but also because the state otherwise has relatively good disclosure requirements.

The sunshine state is famous for its year-round sun, but it is also known for its commitment to open government, including through Florida's so-called "Sunshine Law." That system has been tested in recent years, in particular through the actions of Republican Governor Rick Scott, who has often been accused of trying to avoid disclosure.

Similarly, Florida operates a campaign finance system which requires monthly disclosure of contributions and expenditures, which should allow the tracking of money spent and received by Consumers for Smart Solar.

Florida Utilities Benefit from Anti-Consumer Solar Access

Florida is one of the few remaining states that limits consumers access to generate their own energy using solar power, by blocking homeowners ability to enter into contracts for no up-front-cost installation of solar systems.

By state law, Floridians are barred from entering into contracts with companies that then install and maintain solar systems on consumers homes, with the firm paying the up-front costs and both the customer and the installation firm benefiting. The net effect would be that the consumers save money on their electricity bills and have more money in their pockets each month while using plentiful renewable energy.

Earlier in 2015, Google invested $300 million in Solar City, one firm installing home solar systems outside Florida to consumers with no up-front costs. As the Washington Post described the contracts with homeowners: "Solar City generally installs the systems at no charge to customers, and then charges the residents slightly less per month for the energy than they'd pay their traditional utility."

These contracts—aided by the increasingly cheap cost of photovoltaic systems manufactured in China—is a large reason that solar is such a booming industry in the U.S., with an 80% increase in installations in 2014 from the year before.

The arrangement is a win for consumers and a boon for green contracting jobs, but it is a threat to the monopoly of the utilities, and they have been fighting back in Florida.

With the U.S. needing to significantly reduce its dependence on fossil fuels because of the very real threats of the climate changes that are underway, the boom in home solar has the obvious benefit of reducing reliance on fossil fuels. It has also generated huge numbers of "green jobs," with the industry now employing 175,000 workers in the U.S. According to the White House, the solar industry is creating jobs at ten times the rate of the rest of the economy.

In a state with as much year-round sunshine as Florida, home solar should be booming, but whether it will is now the subject of a high-spending political fight being fueled in part by dark money interests.

State's $700M worth of stalled construction projects hurts builders - News - The State Journal-Register - Springfield, IL

 

Posted Nov. 8, 2015 at 3:40 PM
Updated Nov 8, 2015 at 9:15 PM

Among the numerous financial headaches caused by Illinois' budget mess is $700 million in construction projects that Gov. Bruce Rauner halted in the summer, and officials have no estimate of how much more they'll need to dole out for stopping and, presumably, restarting them once there's a spending agreement.

About a dozen construction sites will need to be protected from winter at a cost of about $2 million, officials said.

Rauner halted projects at universities, state parks, prisons and even the Lincoln Tomb in the spring, eyeing a rapidly approaching start to the budget year and no agreed-upon fiscal plan. An Associated Press analysis of records obtained under the Freedom of Information Act shows that when work stopped July 1, it affected 419 contracts affiliated with 218 job sites. Of those, 95 were under construction, said Lyndsey Walters, spokeswoman for the agency administering the work, the Capital Development Board.

The first-year Republican governor and the Democratic-controlled legislature are now more than four months into the fiscal year with no budget. Rauner won't talk spending until he gets changes he says will make businesses less costly to run and restore taxpayers' faith in Illinois politics. Majority Democrats in the legislature want a tax increase with spending cuts to restore key programs.

Contractors had to pull equipment off locations; move and store materials; secure unfinished, sometimes-hazardous work sites; and watch the dispersal of their labor force, which when it returns will have likely earned a wage increase.

"This has not been pleasant," said Ric Krause, president of Chicago-area Path Construction Co., whose company had to stop work on eight projects worth $26 million — less than half of which, according to records, has been paid. With that much work in the hopper, Path has a number of staff members who are experts on the specific projects but now have no work to do.

"It's not like we have eight more jobs that we're starting right now (and) we can send them over there," Krause said. "You're trying to keep a balance of keeping them on, paying them, and having them not do anything, waiting to hear when the job is going to start again."

Key among Path projects is a building at Olive-Harvey Community College in Chicago that's 60 percent finished and was scheduled to open this month. It needs to be enclosed and heated against cold-weather damage, Krause said.

The Capital Development Board voted last month to free up $645,000 from its special projects fund for winterization work, which is expected to cost about $2 million for 11 sites statewide, Walters said.

Unfinished buildings inconvenience the owners, too, significantly so at colleges and universities. The AP's analysis showed $463 million — 65 percent of the total cost of stalled projects — is devoted to 81 campus projects at more than two dozen schools. The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign had to find alternate classroom space for 100 students because work at the veterinary medicine school stopped. At the University of Illinois Springfield, two projects have been delayed, including the construction of the new Public Safety Building. Upgrades to three buildings at the Southern Illinois University School of Medicine also have been postponed

The Capital Development Board will consider builders' requests to cover cost overruns, Walters said, and additional costs that are the state's responsibility would require a new appropriation. It might not be as easy as it sounds. Minnesota's government shut down for three weeks in 2011, and some affected contractors are still waiting to be reimbursed for the additional costs they bore, said Dave Semerad of Associated General Contractors of Minnesota.

Builders play a "delicate game," arranging money, machinery and labor in optimal weather, said Brian Turmail, spokesman for the industry group Associated General Contractors of America.

"You've got just the right amount of resources at just the right time in just the right places for when you need them," Turmail said, adding that unexpectedly shuttering a project "is both frustrating and costly."

Companies that have poured foundations and erected steel beams aren't the only ones hurting. Consulting firm Bric Partnership, with offices in Belleville and Springfield, has more than $1 million in state contracts for mechanical or electrical design of eight halted projects. Tom Buchheit, the company's managing member, said few had gotten underway, but subtracting expected cash flow from the books can keep a builder up at night.

And when the budget crisis is eventually resolved and stalled projects are giving the green light, some contractors — and subcontractors — will no longer be available.

"The private sector is very hot right now," said Brad Benhart, a former contractor and professor at Purdue University's School of Construction Management Technology. "They're going to go find other work, and it's going to be in the private sector, and they're going to be paid promptly.

"It's going to be very hard for the state to get contractors to come back."
