  • Enact an Elected Representative School Board in Chicago
    Introduction: The 1995 Amendatory Act gave the Chicago mayor sole authority to lead Chicago Public Schools and the ability to appoint a five-member Board of Trustees and a CEO to lead the school district. In 1999, the Amendatory Act expanded the Board to seven and restored the name ―Board of Education of the City of Chicago. Ninety-six percent of school districts in the nation have elected school boards, with a variety of structures and methods of electing members. Every school district in Illinois except for Chicago is governed by some form of an elected school board. (http://www.ctunet.com/legislative/bill-elected-school-board) There is compelling evidence that, for over 15 years, the CPS Appointed Board‘s policies have failed to improve the education of the vast majority of Chicago public school students.The Illinois Legislature must pass a law to enact an elected school board. Present: An overwhelming majority of Chicagoans in 327 precincts VOTED YES on the advisory referendum for an Elected Representative School Board (ERSB) for CPS on November 6th. The results on the Elected School Board Referendum are 87% in favor where it was on the ballot. An Elected Representative School Board would be accountable to the citizens of Chicago as well as CPS teachers, parents and students and would be more diverse, reflecting the people it serves. Election requirements could mandate specific qualifications and cap campaign expenditures, thus reducing the influence of money and politics on education. (Info from CODE Chicago - Communities Organized for Democracy in Education https://sites.google.com/site/codechicago/) I urge the City of Chicago and Illinois State Legislature to look into the forming of a well thought out elected school board structure.

  • One Small Step
    Ban the sale of the The Sig Sauer P250 semi-automatic handgun to the general public. This is one of the weapons used in the massacre in Connecticut. We know that the Second Amendment secures the right of citizens to bear arms however the spirit of the law never intended for citizenry to utilize weaponry designed for those in the military and law enforcement.

  • Stop Delmarva Power from ripping off taxpayers in Eastern Shore!
    We, the undersigned residents and energy consumers, demand immediate action to address the excessively high charges, unfair practices, and lack of accountability demonstrated by Delmarva Power. As a monopoly operating in our area, Delmarva Power has imposed unreasonable costs and failed to provide equitable and transparent services to its customers. Key Issues: 1. Excessive Electric Bills: Delmarva Power’s electric bills have doubled for many customers in recent years despite their energy usage remaining the same. This is an unsustainable burden for households already grappling with rising costs of living. 2. Ridiculous Delivery Charges: Delivery charges on electric bills range from $50 to $150 per billing cycle, disproportionately affecting customers regardless of their energy consumption. These charges are exorbitant and lack justification. 3. Unfair Solar Metering Practices: Customers with solar systems report that the excess energy generated by their systems “disappears,” with no credit issued for the surplus energy fed back to the grid. Instead, Delmarva Power continues to charge these customers for electricity usage. This practice undermines investments in renewable energy and discourages environmental sustainability. 4. Monopoly and Lack of Alternatives: Delmarva Power’s position as the primary energy provider denies residents the ability to choose cheaper and more competitive options. This lack of competition leads to unchecked price hikes and poor service quality. 5. Unresponsive Leadership and Customer Support: Complaints to Delmarva Power’s leadership and customer support have been met with indifference, leaving customers without solutions to their grievances. Call to Action: We call upon the Governor Wes Moore and Governor Matt Meyer and the PSC to: • Investigate Delmarva Power’s billing practices and delivery charge structures. • Audit the operations of Delmarva Power to ensure transparency in solar metering and energy crediting. • Break Delmarva Power’s monopoly by introducing policies that allow for competition and provide residents with alternative energy options. • Ensure accountability by mandating responsive and effective customer support from Delmarva Power leadership.
