The Illinois Policy Institute, which is a non-profit think tank, has designed a tax hike calculator for families who want to know how the $5 billion tax hike will affect them.

he Illinois Policy Institute has created a tax hike calculator which determines how the new $5 billion tax hike will affect a family’s paycheck. The calculator was created by the Institute after Illinois lawmakers passed a new state budget.

Craig Lesner, who is the Budget and Tax Research Director at the Illinois Policy Institute, said in order to use the tax hike calculator, taxpayers can go to the Illinois Policy Institute’s website and input certain data including whether they file taxes as a married couple, a single individual or a widow. Taxpayers also include their yearly income and the number of children in the family.

By inputting the data, the calculator can determine a person’s tax liability. The calculator also compares the old and new tax rate and how it affects the person’s income.

“The Illinois median family makes $59,000 so in that particular case, you would use the old tax rate and compare it to the new tax rate,” Lesner said. “The reason why we do this is because we want people to understand that the

Grapefruit juice and the actual grapefruit can be part of a healthy diet. Grapefruit has vitamin C and potassium—nutrients your body needs to work properly.

But it isn’t good for you when it affects the way your medicines work, especially if you have high blood pressure or arrhythmia (irregular or abnormal heart beat).

This food and drug interaction can be a concern, says Shiew Mei Huang, PhD, of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The FDA has required that some prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) drugs taken by mouth include warnings against drinking grapefruit juice or eating grapefruit while taking the drug, Huang says.

LAW & POLITICS

Tentative Victory In Fight to End Money Bond & Pretrial Detention The Chicago Community Bond Fund welcomes Cook County Chief Judge Tim Evans’ new rule that, if implemented, will significantly decrease the use of money bond and significantly reduce the number of people incarcerated pretrial at Cook County Jail. This tentative victory is the result of pressure from a nationwide, grassroots movements for bond reform, as well as a lawsuit charging that Cook County’s money bail system is unconstitutional.

“While we celebrate this hard-fought win, we recognize that our movements must stay vigilant to ensure the new rule is fully enforced and no one is incarcerated because they are too poor to pay bond,” said Matthew McLoughlin, Co-founder of the Chicago Community Bond Fund.

The new rule, General Administrative Order 2017-05, instructs judges to do three things: 1. Find out how much, if anything, someone accused of a crime could pay for bond; 2. Set bond only in that amount or less; and 3. Review all cases in which someone hasn’t posted bond within seven days.

At the same time, the rule does not expand the powers of courts to hold people pretrial, distinguishing it from pieces of legislation proposed this session in Springfield.

HOW WILL ILLINOIS’ $5 BILLION TAX HIKE AFFECT YOU?

income tax hike isn’t just something you read in the paper, it’s actually real dollars that’s going to come out of peoples’ pay check,” he added.

Lawmakers voted to permanently increase the personal income tax rate to 4.95 percent from the current 3.75 percent rate on July 6, 2017.

A 2017 study conducted by Fabrizio, Lee & Associates showed that 60 percent of Illinoisans believe that state taxes are currently too high and 80 percent wanted Illinois state lawmakers to pass major structural reforms before passing any type of tax increase.

Illinois citizens are “fed up with elitists’ tax hikes, out-of-control spending and poor governance,” Illinois Policy Institute Chief Executive Officer John Tillman said. “They know that the legislators who passed this phony budget have achieved nothing, except to make the lives and livelihoods of ordinary Illinoisans more difficult, more expensive and more burdensome.”

“It’s just piling bad money after bad money after bad money and after a while, people are going to say that they have had enough and they are going to leave for places that have better opportunities whether it be Indiana, Texas or wherever,” Lesner said.

NUMBER OF MINORITY-OWNED EMPLOYER FIRMS INCREASED IN 2015 WASHINGTON -- Minority-owned employer firms in the United States increased by approximately 4.9 percent in 2015 to 996,248 from 949,318 in 2014, according to findings from the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2015 Annual Survey of Entrepreneurs.

The 2015 Annual Survey of Entrepreneurs provides a timely, demographic portrait of the nation’s employer businesses by gender, ethnicity, race and veteran status.

The 2015 Annual Survey of Entrepreneurs provides a timely, demographic portrait of the nation’s employer businesses by gender, ethnicity, race and veteran status.

Payroll and employment for minority-owned employer firms in the nation also increased from 2014 to 2015 by approximately 7.0 percent ($237.5 billion to $254.0 billion) and 6.2 percent (7.6 million to 8.0 million people employed), respectively. Receipts for minority-owned firms in 2015 were estimated at $1,168.5 billion — not statistically different from the 2014 total of $1,089.7 billion.

“California led all states in the number of minority-owned firms with approximately 228,148 (22.9 percent of the U.S. total of minority-owned firms) and the New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ-PA metropolitan area led the 50 most populous metropolitan statistical areas in the number of minority-owned firms (approximately 127,736 or 12.8 percent”), said Kimberly Moore, chief of the Economy-Wide Statistics Division.

More than one-quarter (14) of the 50 most populous metropolitan statistical areas had approximately 15,000 or more minority-owned employer businesses. About one-third of employer firms (34.6 percent) in the accommodation and food services sector were minority-owned.

The Annual Survey of Entrepreneurs provides a timely, demographic portrait of the nation’s employer businesses by gender, ethnicity, race and veteran status. The survey represents a public-private partnership between the Census Bureau, the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation and the Minority Business Development Agency.

Tables released today provide estimates on the number of firms, receipts, payroll and employment for the nation, states and the District of Columbia, and the 50 most populous metropolitan statistical areas. Firm size data are available by sales (e.g., the number of firms with sales/receipts of $1.0 million or more) and employment (e.g., the number of firms with 500 employees or more).

Ownership of firms by women increased by 3.0 percent from 2014 (to approximately 1.1 million in 2015). Payroll for women-owned firms also increased from $277.9 billion in 2014 to $293.1 billion in 2015 — a change of 5.5 percent.

DCFS to Honor College-Bound Youth

The Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) recently announced that it honored 53 college-bound youth on Friday, July 21.

The scholarship winners were selected from nearly 250 applicants from across the state based on academic achievement, community involvement and an essay.

“I would like to congratulate the scholarship recipients for their accomplishments,” said DCFS Acting Director BJ Walker. “It’s been said that education is the most powerful tool you can have that can change the world and I agree. I am extremely proud of our graduates and I am confident they will continue to follow their dreams and make their community and our world a better place.”

Invited guests included the four-year scholarship recipients and their families, and keynote speaker, Darius Atkins. Darius was born and raised in the North Lawndale community on the west side of Chicago and was a 2012 DCFS scholarship recipient. He attended Mason Elementary School and Curie Metro High School before graduating with distinction from Morehouse College. Currently, Darrius is a summer associate at Jones Day and is pursuing a Juris Doctor degree at The University of Chicago Law School, where he is the vice president of First Generation Professionals and a Debra A. Cafaro Scholar.

Healthy Chicago 2.0 Community Seed Grants Awarded

On July 19, the Public Health Institute of Metropolitan Chicago (PHIMC) and the Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) announced the community-based organizations receiving this year’s Healthy Chicago 2.0 Seed Grants to reduce health inequities as part of the city’s four-year community health improvement plan. The aim of the funding opportunity is to support catalytic projects that advance the Healthy Chicago 2.0’s vision to improve health for all of Chicago’s residents. “Healthy Chicago 2.0 is a reflection of our city’s values that no matter the neighborhood, children and families deserve good health,” said Mayor Emanuel. “These new community partnerships support that vision and residents in accessing the healthy food, space to enjoy positive activities and healthcare services they need to strengthen their well-being.”

Additionally, about one-quarter (268,629, or 24.7 percent) of all women-owned employer firms were minority-owned.

More than half (approximately 146,101 or 54.4 percent) of these minority women-owned firms were Asian-owned. Among all employer firms in the educational services, health care and social assistance, and other services sectors, women-owned firms represented a proportion of approximately 25.0 percent or more. Women-owned firms also accounted for receipts totaling $1,353.3 billion in 2015 — not statistically different from the 2014 receipts ($1,321.2 billion) for women-owned firms.

Meanwhile, veteran-owned employer firms decreased by 1.7 percent in 2015 (398,453) down from 405,235 in 2014. The New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ-PA metropolitan area led the 50 most populous metropolitan statistical areas in the number of veteran-owned firms (approximately 20,199 or 5.1 percent of all veteran-owned firms in the United States) — not statistically different than 2014.

Democratic Candidate for Governor JB Pritzker toured Unity Parenting and Counseling recently which is a social service agency focused on foster care and youth homelessness in Chicago.

Unity Parenting’s Harmony Village Transitional Living Program was one of the first youth homeless programs on the South Side of Chicago, and has grown to encompass six homeless programs for homeless children, married couples, and young parents with small children. Because of Bruce Rauner’s “manufactured budget crisis,” Pritzker contended in a released statement that Unity lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in state and federal funding.

“Unity Parenting and Counseling is an irreplaceable social service agency on the South Side of Chicago,” said JB Pritzker. “The services they provide to homeless children, young parents, and members of the LGBTQ community have saved countless lives,” he said.

Party City Builds Out Digital Initiatives ELMSFORD, N.Y. -- Party City recently announced that it has entered into an agreement with Punchbowl, Inc., Framingham, MA, a technology platform leader for online invitations and digital greeting cards, to launch a digital invitation platform that enables Party City customers to make their own online invitations. The platform is now fully functional at PartyCity.com. In conjunction with this agreement, Party City has made a minority investment in Punchbowl. Ryan Vero, Executive Vice President of Party City Holdco Inc. and President of Party City Retail Group, has joined Punchbowl’s Board of Directors.

“Our agreement with Punchbowl represents yet another investment as we continue to grow our portfolio of digital assets,” said Party City CEO Jim Harrison. “With this new capability, party givers will have a single source at PartyCity.com to create invitations while ordering their party supplies online.”

Party City’s omni-channel strategy is reflected both in its fleet of over 900 retail locations in the United States, as well as through its own website (partycity.com) which receives an average of 400,000 daily visits.

“As the leading party goods supplier, Party City is an ideal partner for us,” said Punchbowl CEO Matt Douglas. “We view this as an excellent and logical combination of services with clear benefits for consumers, especially the time-constrained party giver. We also welcome Party City as a new investor who shares our enthusiasm for

online greeting cards and invitations.”

The digital invitation platform will enable consumers to make their own online invites using a wide variety of designs, colors, fonts and themes, as well as licensed characters from Disney, Hasbro, Sesame Street and other well-known entertainment properties. Party City and Punchbowl hold the broadest portfolio of licenses, which means invitations and parties can be themed from beginning to end.

In addition to personalizing their invitations, party hosts will be able to track RSVPs, add a co-host to each invite, and create message boards to communicate with guests, using a platform that is optimized for mobile devices. Consumers can purchase online invitations on an as-needed basis and the invitations are received by guests free of advertising.

This new agreement follows Party City’s earlier announcement in May that it is partnering with investment firm Ampology, of Fort Lee, NJ to develop “Kazzam,” an online marketplace that will bring party hosts together with party services. Through Kazzam, users will be able to choose from a spectrum of vetted service providers for party activities and entertainment, as well as for ordering party supplies.

“By adding the Punchbowl capability adjacent to the Kazzam marketplace, we believe that Party City will enjoy the unique competitive position of providing end-to-end party services,” concluded Harrison.

GUEST COLUMN Beware of Universal Life Insurance!

Life Policyholders Unaware of Impending Lapse

By Henry Benjamin (This is part 2 of a 3 part series) Two popular types of life insurance sold during the 1990s were universal life and variable universal life. Universal life policies became popular in the over 44-age group because investment returns paid to the policy account, could be applied to help pay the premiums instead of accumulating cash value. The policyholder knowingly sacrificed the savings component of the policy to instead make the premium payments affordable and level, and still have the policy face amount remain constant.

However, the ability of a premium to remain constant depends on the investment returns of the policy doing, as well as what was projected when you first bought the policy. The investment strategy of these policies heavily depends upon a continuing bull market and/or high interest rates. With the advent of the bear market and the federal funds interest rate plummeting to a 46-year low of one percent, many universal life policies are badly underperforming.

Consider the solvency actions necessary when a stock or mutual fund purchased on margin, takes a nose dive from the purchase price. If you want to keep the stock or mutual fund, you must continuously add money to the account.

So too with these insurance policies—unless you increase your premiums, the policy will lapse well short of the planned in-force period.

Policy Statements May Contain Alerts of Impending Lapse Many consumers are now receiving statements, which notify them that their policies will lapse much earlier than expected. These financial predictions have been made using the prevailing market conditions and interest rates, assuming no increase in premium payments. Unfortunately, numerous people fail to understand these warnings or do not notice them because they are placed lower on the statement or in footnotes.

Request an In-Force Illustration If you own a life insurance policy, do not delay in reviewing the policy’s financial performance.

Immediately ask your insurance company for a current in-force illustration.

I will be happy to assist you in obtaining an in-force illustration and explain the results. This will show how the policy is expected to perform in the future under current market and/or interest-rate conditions. This, in turn, will let you know if the policy is soon to lapse or if the policy reserves are critically low.

If you have any questions or want reviews call Henry Benjamin Allstate Agent @ (773)7230400.

AWOP SHARES MARKETPLACE MINISTRY PROCESS WITH CHRISTIAN LEADERS NATIONWIDE At Work on Purpose (AWOP) shared its best practices recently with leaders from across the nation eager to learn how to create marketplace communities in their own hometowns.

About 200 Christian leaders from greater Cincinnati and Dayton, with guests from LeTourneau Center for Faith and Work in Dallas; Cru in Sioux Falls, S.D.; Asbury Seminary in Wilmore, Ky.; and the Luis Palau Association in Portland, Ore., attended the annual XL Summit held at Grace Chapel in Mason.

AWOP is recognized as the nation’s largest city-wide, marketplace ministry, with almost 9,000 members. It was formed in 2003 by a dozen working Christians who had a desire to help greater Cincinnati’s Christians integrate their faith at work by helping people connect where the Holy Spirit leads them.

The group originally met in 2003 at Old St. George Catholic Church in Clifton and quickly grew into a large group with a mission to restore the Christian community to the work world and transform one life at a time.

“I realized rather quickly that people were hungry for community,” said AWOP founder and president Chuck Proudfit. “People just wanted to be with other Christians so they didn’t feel alone in a secular work world.”

AWOP became an “ekklesia” or a community called out to identify felt needs in the community, eliminate poverty and transform lives one at a time. Proudfit joined forces with the Rev. Jeff Greer, pastor at Grace Chapel to form BIZNISTRIES®; faith-based enterprises whose profits fund ministry advancement.

AWOP’s emerging network of marketplace ministry initiatives include BIZNISTRIES®;Witheos, which provides co-working space and vocational support for working Christians; Neighbors Embracing

Better Back-to-School Buys

> Profile > Inspirations > Bible verse

Transformation (NET), which seeks to transform neighborhoods as it cares for the spiritual, relational, motivational and material health of the people; Collaboratories, faith-based business roundtables for working Christians; Marketplace Christians Making Connections (MC2), a community for faith-based networking; and Made to Flourish, a pastor’s network for the common good.

Speakers who shared their efforts to serve the community by equipping Christians in the workplace included: Ryan Chapin of General Electric, who founded Living in Faith Together (LIFT) and is author of Go, Make Disciples at Work; Aly Balser and Dave Farris of Cincinnati Christian University; Jamie Noyd of InterVarsity, which provides graduate student ministry at the University of Cincinnati; and the Revs. Rick Shonkwiler of White Oak Christian Church in Cincinnati; Jeff Duerler of Lifespring Church in Harrison; and Randy Ballard of Kings Point Church of God in Maineville.

AWOP is based in Blue Ash, Ohio and operates with volunteers and contractors. Its leadership springs from small groups of three or four who tackle a problem by serving the felt needs in a community, said Proudfit. Its organization is modeled on the early Church, where disciples pooled resources to help the community—and virtually eliminated poverty in the process.

“AWOP is more of an organism than an organization,” said Proudfit. “Our organization has the look and feel of a molecule.

Two or three atoms come together and form a chemical bond.

The molecular charge is the Holy Spirit.”

Proudfit acknowledged Jeff Welsh of Starbase Consulting for his historical contribution creating AWOP’s first website.

Ron Touby, city director of Cru City, and John McCarthy, CEO of AGI Hospitality Recruiting, served as co-masters of ceremonies.

PRAY WITHOUT CEASING

You may be in a tight spot right now, however, your breakthrough is closer than you think. We all have those moments when our lives are so filled with confusion that we cannot tell up from down; so beset with pain that we cannot see in from out, and so full of frustration and hopelessness that we cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Then, we remember to stop and pray.

As people of faith, we recognize that prayer is essential. Prayer changes things. It gives us the strength to go forward. Jesus said, “I tell you, whatever you pray for believe that you have received it and it shall be yours.” In prayer, we set the soul like a trap to receive thoughts, guidance, and impulses of God. Prayer helps us adjust and prepare our mind and heart to receive God’s program.

Remember, if the Lord put you there, the Lord can bless you there. Like Abram, you sometimes have to leave your country and kindred and head to the place that God will show you. Even in the liminal space God has a plan for your life, a plan for your welfare and not for your harm. His plan is to give you a future with hope. As one writer said, “Those who are committed to being the light must be equally committed to the process of burning.”

“BEING MARY JANE” Season Four Returns (Black PR Wire) NEW YORK---This summer, BET Networks’ #1 original drama series, starring Gabrielle Union, “BEING MARY JANE” has returned just in time to bring the heat. Season four began on July 18 and includes more episodes giving viewers their fix of the drama in the world of Mary Jane Paul. Viewers will catch up with Mary Jane as she has bitten off more of the Big Apple than she can chew. After becoming a national anchor on the morning news show “Great Day USA,” Mary Jane is feeling distrustful of Justin (Michael Ealy) after Kara’s (Lisa Vidal) firing. Mary Jane tries to make it work with Lee (Chiké Okonkwo), but resisting Justin is undermining her performance in the coveted co-anchor spot and forces a final reckoning with Lee. “BEING MARY JANE” is executive produced by Will Packer and Erica Shelton Kodish who serves as the series showrunner and writer. Packer and Shelton Kodish join Gabrielle Union, Mara Brock Akil and Salim Akil as executive producers and co-executive producer Jeff Morrone. The series was created by Mara Brock Akil. BET, Will Packer Productions and Akil Productions will produce the fourth season of the series. Korin D. Huggins, Head of Television for Will Packer Productions, will oversee on behalf of Will Packer Productions.

Obituary Notice Yvonne Leemons Canady Much could be said in remembrance of Yvonne Leemons Canady, beloved wife of prominent Chicago businessman and noted philanthropist Blanton Canady.

She was a bright light that shone in the lives of all who knew her, and a solid effervescent presence always at her husband's side in his various endeavors. Her genuine warmth could linger in a room long after her exit.

Yvonne transitioned this life on Tuesday, July 4, 2017, surrounded by family and friends after an 11-year battle with early onset Alzheimer's. She was born in New Orleans, Louisiana to parents Willie B. Caldwell and Clifford Dewitt Miller, and was the youngest of three girls. After her family moved to Memphis, she attended

Memphis Immaculate Conception Catholic High School and Christian Brothers College.

Yvonne came to Chicago to pursue her sales career and was well-known as the former Director of Marketing for Black Enterprise Magazine. Her major clients included General Motors and Ford.

She married Blanton Canady in 2003, and they built a life together based on their shared values of "God, family and friends." Both were devout members of Apostolic Church of God in Chicago and gave of their time and resources to various nonprofit organizations.

Yvonne is survived by her devoted husband Blanton, son Blanton Canady II (Sheri), grandson Blanton Canady III, sisters Sharmeen Hawkins (Greg) of Atlanta, Marshia Gilmore of Memphis, and a host of nieces, nephews, family and friends.

Private services were held at Oak Woods Cemetery in Chicago.
