Should reparations be given, and if so, who should get reparations and what form should they take? These are questions the U.S. has been pondering since General Sherman made the largely unanswered call for 40 acres and mule to be allotted to emancipated slaves during the Civil War. In this episode, hosts Maggie Mendenhall Casey and Jennifer Byrne are joined by the Mayor of the City of Evanston, Illinois, Daniel Biss, to discuss how Evanston has sought to implement the country's first-of-its-kind reparations program, which seeks to distribute reparations to Black residents who were impacted by the city's historical housing discrimination using revenue from cannabis taxation. Mayor Biss discusses the challenges the program has raised and how it may serve as a model for other U.S. cities looking to implement similar programs.

In the 1932 Supreme Court ruling, Justice Louis Brandeis popularized the phrase “laboratories of democracy“ to describe how “a single courageous state may, if its citizen choose, serve as a laboratory and try novel social and economic experience without risk to the rest of the country.”   Many states have looked to become laboratories to address some of the gaps in the US current retirement system that federal policy hasn't yet been able to successfully solve. Josh Cohen and guest co-host Michael Kreps talk to two early experimenters, Hank Kim and Daniel Biss, to learn from their experiences turning policy ideas into legislation.    Hosted by Josh Cohen, The Accidental Plan Sponsor podcast explores the history, evolution and future of employer-based retirement plants, including the 401(k), through the eyes of its creators -- providing unparalleled insights into an imperfect system that works for many, but not all.    Key Takeaways: [:38] Josh Cohen, your host, approaches the fact that some states have become laboratories to address some of the gaps in the current retirement system, which federal policy cannot tackle yet.  It can be a lengthy process to set up these kinds of experiments.  [1:51] Josh gives a refresher on the last episode. [3:44] How did states get involved in retirement policy when it is typically taken care of at a national level?  [4:07] Michael Kreps, Principal at Groom Law, joins Josh. [4:32:] Michael shares some of his recollections and experiences about the journey that some of the states have been going through. [6:06] What drove some states to go down this path of turning policy ideas into laws? Who were some of the most important players? [7:15] Hank Kim, Executive Director & Counsel at NCPERS, talks about Secure Choice Plans (a term he coined himself). [8:50] Hank shares how he got involved in the healthcare sector. [9:04] Hank talks about how he began working on pension issues, starting with the union of firefighters. [9:37] Hank speaks of the history of NCPERS. [11:32] Hank explains why NCPERS showed interest in the private sector. [12:40] In 2010, the markets crashed and pension assets were hit hard, especially the private sector ones; Hank talks about what NCPERS did to protect those funds. [14:12] Hank shares how they came up with the Secure Choice Pension concept and what it is. [16:08] Hank talks about the Californian, Oregon, and Illinois policymakers and how they couldn't get around political challenges as they defined the benefit pension approach. [18:42] Mike explains why timing is everything. [19:58] Mike talks about what happens at the legislative-process stage. [21:27] Illinois was the first state to pass legislation approving the launching of an auto RAA program. Daniel Biss, Mayor of Evanston, explains how he plays a part in the story of retirement security. [24:25] Daniel shares the funny story behind how the auto RAA program became on his radar. [27:13] Daniel talks about his journey overcoming opposition. [28:21] Daniel voices another funny story involving a small business owner. [30:20] Daniel tells what happened in early November 2014, before the final vote. [31:16] The bill had to go back to the Senate after some changes were made to it. [32:50] Daniel recognizes this isn't the perfect solution to some retirement policy challenges. [33:40] Daniel explains why states can be the laboratory of democracy. [34:30] Even today, as the mayor of Evanston, Daniel still feels the weight of these issues. [35:05] Michael shares his perspective about states being laboratories of innovation. [37:31] If several states experiment with different designs, could that contribute to a consensus around a National policy? Michael gives his expert opinion.   Thank you for tuning in.

Join Shalom Klein on his weekly radio show, Get Down To Business with guests: Bruce Leon Lisa Singer State Senator Daniel Biss

Former Illinois state senator Daniel Biss recently guest-hosted a culturally regressive radio program titled “Live, Local & Progressive” in which he sought to draw attention to yet another God-forsaken executive order (2019-11) from Illinois' morally bankrupt governor, J.B. Pritzker, which was signed “shortly before the Pride parade.” The executive order establishes a 25-member “Affirming and Inclusive Task Force,” essentially to use government schools to advance the ideology and goals of the “trans” cult. Lest anyone think the task force will be ideologically balanced between those who believe biological sex matters when it comes to, for example, private spaces and athletics and those who believe it doesn't matter, here's what Pritzker's order dictates...

The two candidates spent a total of $120 million of their own money just on the primary. Republican Governor Bruce Rauner wins a tighter-than-expected challenge from Wheaton IL Rep. Jeanne Ives; Democratic voters have nominated J-B Pritzker over Daniel Biss, Chris Kennedy and three others. Plus more election news, sports and the weather forecast.

The Illinois primary election is upon us! Election day is this Tuesday, March 20. Here’s the latest news from the week preceding primary day:The three Democrats at the top of the polls in the race for governor debated one last time on Wednesday. They sat mere inches from each other. We look at one of the testier moments.Just hours before that debate, the Chicago Tribune released a report detailing ties between candidate J.B. Pritzker and offshore banking trusts in the Bahamas. We break down whether that’ll really hurt Pritzker.This week, Gov. Bruce Rauner vetoed a gun bill, released a plan for the beleaguered veterans’ home in Quincy, and dropped a new attack ad. The moves indicate that he’s not taking his primary opponent, state Rep. Jeanne Ives, lightly.WBEZ’s politics team broke all of that down during our weekly Illinois Elections 2018 podcast.

March 20th is almost here. Primary early voting has already stated. Let's get to know the people that are soliciting our vote. Biss is the Under Dogg running for Governor...

March 20 primary is less than three weeks away, and the daily news cycle is bursting with election-related news. But don’t worry: WBEZ’s Government & Politics desk has your back:The six Democrats running for Illinois governor shared the same stage Thursday night at a forum sponsored by WBEZ, Politico, and the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics. WBEZ’s Tony Arnold and Dave McKinney were two of the event’s panelists and they share their takeaways.During the forum, the candidates played The Price is Right, sorta. Each candidate got quizzed on the price of everyday goods and services. Some answers were spot-on. Others? Not so much. WBEZ’s Dave McKinney shares the answers for listeners who were playing at home.Somehow, some way, the Democratic primary race for Cook County assessor has taken another surprising turn: If you vote early next week and cast a ballot for Andrea Raila, “very simply, that vote will not count,” says WBEZ’s Becky Vevea. She explains why.WBEZ obtained 1,400 internal emails involving Gov. Bruce Rauner’s administration regarding the 2015 outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease at a state-run veterans home. Some of the emails discuss how to spin the deadly outbreak to the public. We take a look at campaigns’ reaction to the report.WBEZ’s politics team broke all of that down during our weekly Illinois Elections 2018 podcast.

It’s less than a month away from primary day. This week, two stories in particular have continued to roil state and local politics:The Rauner administration reported a fourth new case of Legionnaires’ disease this year at a state-run veterans’ home in Quincy. The waterborne illness has already claimed the lives of 13 veterans and sickened dozens more since July 2015. Gov. Bruce Rauner has been against moving residents out of the facility, but he might be changing his tune. We catch you up on what’s become an especially politicized issue and the continuing fallout.Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan has fired another longtime political operative over allegations of misconduct. Last week, Madigan removed a different top aide after accusations of sexual harassment. Questions remain about why Madigan waited so long to remove both individuals, but many Democrats are remaining silent. We take a look at how candidates and officials are reacting to the news.WBEZ’s politics team broke all of that down during our weekly Illinois Elections 2018 podcast. (We also talk about U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders' endorsement of Jesus "Chuy" Garcia and a curious chocolate milk analogy.) 

Once again, there’s been no shortage of drama in Illinois politics this week:A political operative accused powerful Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan of waiting too long to act on her sexual harassment claim against one of his top aides. We catch you up on the details and the political fallout.Cook County residents who own modestly valued homes pay more property taxes than they should, according to a report released this week. We explain how the findings could blow up an already nasty race for Cook County Assessor.Three more residents of a state-run veterans’ home have contracted Legionnaires’ disease, one of whom was reportedly a recent guest of Gov. Bruce Rauner at his State of the State address. We explain how Rauner and his Republican primary opponent, state Rep. Jeanne Ives, propose to respond to the outbreak.WBEZ’s politics team broke all of that down during our weekly Illinois Elections 2018 podcast.

We discuss the House Republicans narrow vote on Thursday to pass their disastrous health care plan which will result in 24 million people losing their insurance and allow discrimination against people with preexisting conditions. The panel looks at what’s next for GOP health care plan in the Senate. We also have an interview with Daniel Biss, a progressive candidate for Governor of Illinois. Mr. Biss is running on a bold progressive platform that hopefully will inspire you and a Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate with a similar agenda.

We recently spoke with Illinois Senator Daniel Biss (9th) about the Illinois Budget Impasse. A member of the Human Services Committee, Senator Biss offered unique insights into how the budget crisis is directly affecting the nonprofit and philanthropic sectors in Illinois. We asked Biss if we should be worried about the trajectory of the relationship between the state and the nonprofit sector, whether this impasse will cost taxpayers more in the long run, and what the role of philanthropy shoud be in all this.
