A press release from Congressman Peter Roskam:

Roskam Selected as 113th Congress Co-Chair of Congressional Caucus on India and Indian Americans

WASHINGTON – Today, Congressman Peter Roskam (R-IL) released a statement on the announcement of his selection as the co-chair of the Congressional Caucus of India and Indian Americans for the 113th Congress:

Peter Roskam

“It’s an honor to play a leading role in the advancement of U.S.-India relations along with my friend Joe Crowley.

“This caucus has grown to become the largest caucus dedicated to one country in the House, showing the importance of nurturing our ties with one of the largest and fastest growing economies in the world.

“Our countries are linked through our common interest in the democratic process, global security and international prosperity.

“In my meetings back home with the large Indian-American community in my district, there’s always a natural connection between their entrepreneurial spirit and our shared values. This caucus has the opportunity to further these priorities and I’m proud to be part of that effort.”

Upon today’s announcement, former co-chairman, Congressman Ed Royce (R-CA), now Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said:

“It has been a great pleasure to watch the India Caucus grow to become one of the largest in the House. The Caucus is in good hands with Reps. Roskam and Crowley, long-time advocates of close U.S.-India ties. As Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, I will continue to work to strengthen relations between the United States and India.”

Royce will remain an active Caucus member.

This installment of McHenry County Board member-elect Mike Walkup’s thoughts on township government concerns the political aspect.

THE POLITICS OF TOWNSHIPS

One of the main arguments for the continuation of townships is that the offices of Assessor and Road Commissioner are elected and that township government, being physically smaller than the county, is therefore more accountable to the people via the electoral process.

There is some surface appeal to this argument.

However, it is belied once you look at how the elections for township offices are actually held.

Elections for township office are held every four years in odd numbered years in the Spring.

The next one will be in April of 2013.

The general election portion of the township election coincides with elections for municipal offices and school boards, which are known as the Consolidate Elections.

Voter turnout at Consolidated Elections is invariably low, unless there is some type of taxing referendum on the ballot at the same time.

Typically, turnout in years with no taxing referenda is around 15% to 20%.

If more people are coming in to vote for a taxing referendum, they usually only know about that referendum and are not familiar with the candidates for township offices which they are surprised to see also on the ballot.

They will either not vote for those offices or will guess their way through that portion.

In the more populous townships which have adopted partisan elections, the situation is much worse.

No Democrat has ever been elected to township office in McHenry County so far as I am aware.  [Not on the Demcoratic Party label, as far as I know.]

Therefore, the Republican primary become tantamount to the entire election.

People who show up for the general election are usually even more Republican oriented than the population of voters who vote in general elections like the one we just had.

When, then, IS the Republican primary for township offices?

You may be surprised to learn that it is in February, 2013.

[Filing for GOP primaries in Algonquin, Dorr, Grafton, McHenry and Nunda Townships is from November 19th through 26th.  Petitions must be filed with the township clerk, along with a statement of candidacy and receipt from the filing of a Statement of Economic Interest with the County Clerk's Office.  These must be stapled together.  Pages must be numbered.]

Very, very, very few people show up for this election, making it easier for townships to overwhelm the vote with their supporters.

Typically the turnouts for the primary are in the single digits percentage wise.

This assumes that there even IS a Republican primary.

There does not necessarily have to be one.

If they want, the precinct committeemen of the township Republican Party can vote at one of their meetings (which the public does not attend) to select all of the township candidates by caucus.

Then there is no primary and the general election is a foregone conclusion.

Oftentimes, various township officials or their spouses are also Republican precinct committeemen .

When do you vote for your Republican Party precinct committeemen?

You do that in the primary election in even numbered years, but only if you vote in the Republican primary.

Only about a third of the registered voters vote in either primary.

The precinct committeeman position is at the very end of the ballot, and is usually uncontested.

Virtually no one knows that this vote can, in effect, determine who the township officials will be the following year.

ARE ARGUMENTS TO ABOLISH TOWNSHIPS PARTISAN?

It has been commented on this blog that it is the Democrats who are interested in abolishing townships because most townships are in Republican areas and this would get rid of some Republican office holders and patronage jobs.

Actually, the movement to abolish townships in Illinois was started by a paralegal named Mike Richardson, who is a Republican and who lives in an area where the Democrats control the townships.

Bob Anderson, who spearheaded the effort in McHenry County, is very much a Republican.

The City of Evanston has placed an advisory referendum on the ballot to abolish Evanston Township, both of those bodies being Democratic.  [It should be noted that Evanston Township has the same bounaries

Final installment: Are Townships Ready for Reform?

Since the 1973 fiasco of a caucus conducted by the Algonquin Township Republican Central Committee, McHenry County largest township has allowed voters to decide who GOP candidates for township office shall be.

That was the year that first-term Assessor Forrest Hare was challenged by a young school teacher.

While the caucus looked like a three-precinct primary, after the 3 AM Crystal Lake Community High School Field House results showed the school teacher winning by a handful of votes and even the judges weren’t sure the count was correct, the Central Committee members would not allow a recount.

There was no way to legally force a recount, because the committeemen set the rules.

At that time losers could run as a write-in and Forrest Hare did.

And he won.

The local Republican Party really took a beating as every weekday it was taken to task by Crystal Lake WIVS Radio station owner Mal Ballairs on his morning talk show.

To avoid future similar problems, our State Senator Jack Schaffer and I passed legislation to allow township party organizations to select candidates by citizen votes.

When I brought up the idea at Monday night’s meeting in an Algonquin Township Road Commissioner’s building, only I and Lou Anne Majewski remember the 1973 fiasco.

I was immediately met with the objection of cost.

I couldn’t come up with a figure, but with the low turnout of 19% from both party primaries in March (plus non-partisan only votes on referendums) it’s pretty easy to predict that the turnout will be less when only township officials are on the ballot.

The result will be a high cost per vote, which could be lowered if McHenry County Clerk Kathie Schultz can combine precincts.

The projected expense was really the only argument.

But it was a long discussion.

I pointed out that Democrats could have a field day challenging Republican candidates who had been selected in a secret meeting.

Conversely, Republicans could make hay of any Democratic Party candidates who were not selected at the ballot box, but rather by party bosses.

With township government under attack, I argued, the potential negative publicity would not be helpful.

In the end, all of the Algonquin Township Republican Precinct Committeemen present voted to authorize a primary election next February in which candidates for Township Supervisor, Road Commissioner, Assessor, Clerk and Township Trustees would be selected.

State representatives are joining together to form a caucus to address diabetes. Here is their press release:

SPRINGFIELD…..House Minority Leader Tom Cross (R-Oswego), along with State Representatives Mike Tryon (R-Crystal Lake) and Jim Durkin (R-LaGrange) announced the formation of a bipartisan legislative Diabetes Caucus on Thursday to bring heightened awareness to the growing diabetes epidemic in Illinois.

“Diabetes is a disease that affects a growing number of Illinois families each year,” said Cross. “Today almost 10% of Illinoisans suffer from either Type I or Type II diabetes, and this new caucus will bring a bipartisan approach to diabetes prevention, awareness and treatment.”

 

For most of the eight members of the caucus steering committee, the issue of diabetes is a very personal one. Representative Mike Tryon (R-Crystal Lake) was diagnosed with Type II diabetes in 2006.

“Living with diabetes has been life-changing,” said Tryon. “Through my own research I have found that many Illinois families struggle to find sufficient information and resources that can help them manage symptoms and maintain a maximum quality of life.”

For Leader Cross and Representative Jim Durkin (R-LaGrange), diabetes affects family members.

Both have children with Type I diabetes.

“The steering committee is off to a great start and we’ve been meeting regularly since January,” said Durkin. “I have no doubt that this caucus will provide many tools to help families manage the symptoms and care of their loved ones.”

Representative Cynthia Soto (D-Chicago) represents District 4, which includes Humboldt Park. According to Soto, Humboldt Park has been identified as the community with the highest percentage of people living with diabetes in the state.

“Along with my colleagues and diabetes caucus members, we are ready to roll up our sleeves and bring clear awareness and education to our state and to the people and families affected by this issue,” she said.

Cross said an invitation will be extended to other legislators to join the caucus. He also said they have been approached by many corporate and non-profit agencies that are willing to help with outreach efforts.

According to Cross, the steering committee’s goals include:

1. Seek needed legislation and evaluate filed legislation that affects people with diabetes.
2. Promote prevention education, available treatments and public programs that assist people with diabetes.
3. Reach out to agencies that assist people with diabetes.
4. Engage in outreach efforts between the caucus, its supporting agencies and people who suffer from diabetes.

Polled by Algonquin Township Republican Central Committee Chairwoman Karla Dobbeck, an overwhelming percentage of those who replied opted for a primary election over a party caucus.

Last weekend, I outlined why Algonquin Township’s Republicans decided to hold a primary election over twenty years ago in these two articles:

To Let People Vote in Township Primaries or Not – Part 1

To Let People Vote in Township Primaries or Not – Part 2

Friday, I explored potential consequences of the Grafton Township Republican Central Committee’s apparent desire to hold a party caucus, rather than hold a primary election.

A comment under that Grafton Township caucus article from “Truth Seeker” says,

“A caucus is a perfectly legitimate way for political parties to nominate their candidates. Anyone is free to file petitions and run as an Independent. It is at the election itself that anyone can vote for the candidate of their choice.

“Why should the entire county pay for the primary election needed in a township to only nominate the candidates of one political party? Primary elections that have notoriously low turnouts but very high costs to take care of what is essentially a piece of party business.”

The reason is to take away the argument from the Democrats that the Republicans are just a bunch of good ol’ boys making all their decisions in secret.

If I were a Democratic Party strategist in Grafton Township and you were a caucus-nominated Republican candidate for township office, Mr. Truth Seeker, the heat from my candidate’s campaign would be hot enough to make you wonder if you would win re-election.

And, of course, there is nothing to stop the Democrats from holding a primary election also. That would be a way for them to publicize their candidates.

In fact, taken to the extreme, Truth Seekers’ advice would not have allowed spring primary challengers to incumbent Republican courthouse office holders to have a primary election. Just the insiders would have had a say.

Suitable for Chicago-style politicians, perhaps, but not for McHenry County Republicans.

With five of 31 precincts still vacant during a year when volunteers were coming out of the woodwork, the Grafton Township Republican Central Committee has scheduled a meeting for 6:30 Tuesday evening on November 18, apparently at Image Industries, 11,220 East Main in Huntley.

I say “apparently” because the email notice from new township GOP chairman Tom Poznanski does not mention the location. The subsequent email from Grafton Township Supervisor John Rossi gives the Image Industries location.

As I explained last weekend, township central committees have the option of selecting their township candidates through a vote of the people at a primary election or at a caucus of precinct committeemen.

To Let People Vote in Township Primaries or Not – Part 1

To Let People Vote in Township Primaries or Not – Part 2

It is obvious why incumbent township officials would favor no primary election.

A caucus is easier to control that a primary election. In a primary anyone can run.

But, consider this.

What if Grafton Township Republicans hold a closed door caucus and re-nominate the current office holders:

Township Supervisor John Rossi
Township Assessor William T. Ottley
Township Road CommissionerJack Freund
Township Clerk Dina Frigo
Township Trustees

Betty Zirk
Lois Brothers
Rob LaPorta
Barbara Murphy

OK.

So the incumbents make it onto the April ballot.

What if the Democrats are willing to play the “Party of the People” card and schedule a primary election to select their candidates?

To the best of my knowledge, the Democrats have never run candidates for Grafton Township office. Until four years ago, neither had Republicans.

Instead there was an amalgam ticket on a “for this election only” party label.

I haven’t seen township election totals yet, but Grafton Township Democrats may have carried the day with all the door knocking for newly-elected McHenry County Board member Paula Yensen.

If they are sufficiently encouraged, they might decide to run people.

And, if they are smart—and they were certainly smart enough to elected Yensen—they might just hold an open primary and point out that the Republicans held a closed caucus…again, assuming the township GOP does so.

The Dems could even be bold encourage to enough candidates to make a primary election interesting. After all, they might win and these jobs do pay money.

That would lead to press coverage for the Democrats and none for the GOP, except that its candidates were selected in a party caucus.

Can’t you see the Democrats running an April campaign as “the party that lets the people participate?”

It could be a traditional campaign against the Good Ol’ Boys, even though they are only one-term deep.

It’s not as if the Grafton Township Republicans haven’t accomplished anything. The township’s real estate assessments are the most accurate in McHenry County. The township assessor has developed a comprehensive bus service for seniors. He runs a food pantry. I have heard no complaints about the township roads.

But the GOP could be vulnerable on the caucus issue, if they don’t hold a primary election and if the Dems are up to exploiting it.
