Illinois economy surges in first quarter

SPRINGFIELD (Capitol News Illinois) – The Illinois economy showed strong signs of recovery during the first quarter of 2021 as businesses continued to reopen from the pandemic and direct government payments flowed to businesses and individual consumers. Data released last week from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis showed the state’s economy grew at an annual rate of 6.4 percent during the quarter as its gross domestic product – the market value of all goods and services produced by labor […]

Illinois child well-being improved in past decade, although disparities remain

SPRINGFIELD (Public News Service) -- Child well-being in Illinois was looking up in 2019 compared with 2010, but advocates say the full impact of COVID-19 is yet to be seen and has highlighted the need for strong supports. The Annie E. Casey Foundation Kids Count Data Book shows 16% of Illinois children were living in poverty prior to the pandemic, down from 2010, and just 4% of children lacked health insurance. But in the last year and a half, many more households […]

SPRINGFIELD (CNI) – On the advice of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Illinois will pause the distribution of a COVID-19 vaccine developed by Johnson & Johnson. The federal agencies made that recommendation Tuesday morning after reporting rare and severe blood clots in six people who had taken the vaccine. The CDC and FDA are reviewing the data regarding those cases. In a news release Tuesday, the Illinois Department of Public Health advised that […]

Illinois Emergency Management Agency shares lessons learned from pandemic

SPRINGFIELD (CNI) – The Illinois Emergency Management Agency was forced to adapt quickly to a new role when the COVID-19 pandemic first hit last year, and the agency’s director told a legislative committee that more work needs to be done to prepare for the event of another statewide disaster. “Even though we provide resources to counties and local jurisdictions during times of disaster, we really never had a logistical arm to the organization. That has since changed,” IEMA Director Alicia […]

Multigenerational living and the changing landscape of the American family

Let’s face it: the American household is changing. For many, the traditional image of the nuclear family, with a mom, a dad, 2.5 kids, and maybe a dog or cat or two, simply no longer applies. In many ways, we’re returning to an older, more traditional household structure, with multiple generations living under the same roof. On the other hand, our changing culture is also expanding the definition of the American family to include bonds of connection that are different […]

Pritzker outlines $41.6 billion budget with flat spending

SPRINGFIELD (CNI) – Gov. JB Pritzker outlined a $41.6 billion budget proposal Wednesday that would hold most state agencies at flat funding levels but which relies heavily on changes to the state’s corporate tax structure that lawmakers have not yet approved. The budget proposal, which is only the governor’s request for lawmakers in the General Assembly, does not call for income tax increases. Over the next four months, lawmakers will work on an operating budget of their own to send to […]

High court offers rules for remote criminal hearings

SPRINGFIELD (CNI) — The state’s highest court issued new rules last week to help courts transition to remote hearings for criminal cases as the pandemic continues to disrupt court operations statewide. Illinois Supreme Court Chief Justice Anne Burke said the order “provides guidance for our courts to address the backlog of criminal cases created by the COVID-19 pandemic,” in a news release last week. Courthouses shut their doors last March, allowing only essential matters to be held in-person and temporarily […]

JB Pritzker on Friday ahead of his budget address next week, calling on the governor to reinstate business tax incentives he froze last month.
