Hundreds of Christmas Eve flights canceled Santa Barbara Airport remains largely unaffected By DAN MCCALEB THE CENTER SQUARE EXECUTIVE EDITOR

A nativity scene remains a popular tradition in front of the Santa Barbara Mission as people locally and around the world celebrate Christmas today. For photos of religious and secular Christmas decorations at residents’ homes, see Page B1.

(The Center Square) — A surge in COVID-19 cases among airline workers led to more than 500 canceled flights across the U.S. and over 2,000 worldwide. According to the airline tracking website FlightAware, 544 flights within, into or out of the U.S. were canceled on Christmas Eve. United Airlines has canceled 181 flights; Delta, 158; JetBlue, 72; American, 13; Spirit, 11; and Southwest, 2. More than 6,000 flights worldwide have experienced delays — more than 1,300 of them within, into or out of the U.S. But in the midst of hundreds of Christmas Eve flights being canceled due to omicron, flights to and from Santa Barbara have remained largely unaffected. Santa Barbara Municipal

Airport has had no cancellations due to the omicron variant, Deanna Zachrisson, airport business development manager, told the News-Press Friday. One flight arriving from Phoenix was canceled, but Ms. Zachrisson didn’t attribute that to the omicron variant. All other incoming flights from Phoenix arrived as scheduled, and other flights came in as expected from cities such as San Francisco. “According to United Airlines, the impact has been largely on the East Coast,” Ms. Zachrisson said. She added that there have been no COVID-positive cases among Santa Barbara Airport staff. Elsewhere in the nation, the omicron variant, the dominant coronavirus variant currently infecting people in the U.S., is being blamed for much of the staffing shortages at airlines.

Foodbank gives supplies to about 300 families at special event By FORREST MCFARLAND NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

The Foodbank of Santa Barbara County provided food and other supplies to approximately 300 families at a Christmas Eve distribution event. The Foodbank partnered with Franklin Elementary School to distribute healthy food items, diapers and at-home COVID-19 tests in a drive-through with the help of volunteers and community leaders. A steady line of cars was seen between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Friday in front of the Santa Barbara school, where the food was brought to recipients’ vehicles. “We’re all about feeding people Turkeys were among the food being given away.

Busy week for Santa Claus

TRAFFIC, CRIME AND FIRE BLOTTER Intersection improvements completed CARPINTERIA — The intersection at Via Real and Santa Monica Road now has a fully enhanced and signalized intersection, which is complete and open to the public. The intersection has been updated to ease the daily traffic backups that often go on for half a mile during the morning commute. New pedestrian and bicycle connections improve safety and access within crosswalks, pedestrian crossing signals and ADA accessible ramps, sidewalks and bike lanes, according to the California Department of Transportation. “It has been amazing to see the cooperation between the crews and companies undertaking this Herculean task,” Don Risdon, owner of Risdon’s 76 gas station in Carpinteria, said in a Caltrans news release. “This intersection has needed to be addressed for many years, and it has been incredible to see it transformed,” Mr. Risdon said. “I appreciate that the Highway 101 team was able to build the freeway ramps at the same time as the intersection. Helping people get on the freeway faster should help the daily backups and make it easier to access the businesses in the

area. “We also appreciate that pedestrians have an easier and safer crossing and that utilities in the area have been undergrounded. It really is nicer all around,” he said. The nearly $1.5 million project, funded by Senate Bill 1, was completed under budget and ahead of schedule. The intersection work officially wrapped up Friday and was built in conjunction with the updated freeway on- and offramps at Santa Monica Road as part of the Highway 101: Carpinteria to Santa Barbara project. “We see the combination of local and regional improvements to walking, biking, carpooling, driving, or taking a bus as the tangible benefits of Senate Bill 1. This is one of the many examples of new infrastructure that people between Carpinteria and Santa Barbara will use daily thanks to their investment in SB1,” said state Sen. Monique Limón, D-Santa Barbara. Local community improvements or parallel projects like the Santa Monica intersection are being built in conjunction with the Highway 101: Carpinteria to Santa Barbara project as part of a strategy to reduce regional traffic congestion, according to Caltrans. — Katherine Zehnder

Ducks enjoy “Lake Carpinteria,” a new body of water that emerged in Carpinteria State Beach Park during this week’s rain. The National Weather Service predicts more rain and cold today, with highs in the mid- to upper 50s and lows in the 40s throughout Santa Barbara County. According to the weather service, there’ll be a break from rain on Sunday before another storm on Monday.

County cautions people to avoid stormwater runoff By FORREST MCFARLAND NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

The Santa Barbara County Environmental Health Services Division issued a rain advisory for countywide beaches due to continuing rainfall across the region. The county wanted to remind residents about potential health risks associated with stormwater runoff. Stormwater is untreated rainwater that flows through the drain system into creeks, the ocean and other waterways. Contact with storm water while

swimming or surfing may increase the risk for certain types of illnesses such as rashes, fever, chills, ear infections, vomiting and diarrhea. To minimize potential health risks, it is recommended that people not swim, play or surf in the ocean and creeks for at least three days following a rain event, according to the county Public Health Department. Beachgoers should also avoid areas near the outfall from drain pipes and creeks that enter the ocean following a rain event as storm water runoff may carry high levels of bacteria and pollutants.

Sport harvesters should wait at least 10 days after significant rain to harvest shellfish. High bacterial levels, pesticide, herbicide and motor oil grease flushed into the ocean with the storm runoff may contaminate the shellfish beds. Consuming raw or undercooked contaminated shellfish may result in serious illnesses. Adequate cooking of shellfish will destroy harmful bacteria, but may not be effective in killing viruses. In addition, cooking does not eliminate chemical and metal pollutants in the shellfish. To find out what is being done by the county to improve water

SPORTS ROUNDUP

Dos Pueblos defeats Santa Ynez in boys basketball By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

The Dos Pueblos boys basketball team defeated Santa Ynez 70-57 in the Varsity Carpinteria finals Wednesday. The game was part of the Jim Bashore Holiday Cage Classic at Carpinteria High School. Santa Ynez Coach Walter Tyler discussed the loss in an email to the News-Press. “Team made too many small mistakes in passing and defensive intensity,” Tyler said. “This was a good test for our upcoming league match-ups and shows us items we need to fix for our upcoming games.” But the coach pointed to two of his athletes who soared on the court. “Congrats to Diego Torres and Jackson Ollenburger for both winning all tourney awards!” Tyler said. Ollenburger led the Pirates with 21 points, 2 rebounds and 3 steals.

Caleb Cassidy made 16 points and 12 rebounds. Torres made 6 points and 3 rebounds.

HAMISTER, Margaret “Peg”

Margaret “Peg” Hamister, born in Pitcairn, Pennsylvania to Robert B. and Katherine Roward Singiser on February 2, 1925. Peg graduated Pitcairn High School in 1942 and went into the Navy as a Link Trainer Operator in 1944. She met husband-to-be First Lieutenant Donald B Hamister at the Naval Air Station in Atlanta, Georgia. They wed at Kenyon College Chapel in Gambier Ohio on December 22, 1946. After settling in Chicago Illinois, then moving to Lake Forest, Illinois, the family moved to Santa Barbara in 1963. Peg went to UCSB and graduated with a degree in English in 1970. She was politically active as the Second District Planning Commissioner from 1975-1987. Also volunteered for several charities in Santa Barbara, including the Mental Health Advisory board, UCSB Music Afﬁliates, Santa Barbara Symphony League, Cottage Hospital Board of Directors, to name a few. She will be sorely missed by her son, Don Bruce and daughter Tracy (Levine), step-grandchildren Scott Levine, Deborah Levine Bradley and Rebeka Levine, San Jose, also many nieces and nephews.

year round, not just right before Christmas,” Foodbank CEO Erik Talkin told the NewsPress on Friday. “But this is a time when people need extra help, and we’re glad to be there.” Among the volunteers were Supervisor Gregg Hart, U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal and members of the school board. “This is an opportunity for some of our representatives to get involved,” Mr. Talkin told the News-Press. “Representative Carbajal, Supervisor Hart and various members of the school board were able to connect with the Foodbank and their community.” Other than providing fresh produce, a Christmas turkey and pantry staples, the Foodbank also distributed diapers for those who needed them and at-home COVID-19 tests. The at-home tests and pantry items were provided by Feeding America and the USDA, while the turkeys were provided by individual community donors. “The Foodbank is all about food, but you can’t live by bread alone,” Mr. Talkin explained. “These days, something like a COVID test can be very helpful to families.” According to Mr. Talkin, the exceptional challenges of this year made the Foodbank even more integral to Santa Barbara County, and he was grateful the community could come together to provide for those affected. “People are really struggling financially, and it’s always healthy food that suffers first,” Mr. Talkin told the News-Press. “So it’s really important for the Foodbank to support people and for people to support the Foodbank.” email: fmcfarland@newspress.com

Assistance League helps Food From The Heart

Deputy Probation Officers Jeff McGarey and Erica Ontiveros help with the delivery of care packages to families for the holiday season.

Probation officers spread holiday cheer

Twelve Santa Barbara County Probation officers spread some holiday as they conducted recent wellness checks during home visits to youth under community supervision. The officers delivered 50 care packages to families of youth on probation. Donations were

received from a variety of sources, including fresh vegetables and canned foods donated by La Casa de la Raza, arts and crafts supplies, donated grocery gift cards, and donated toys by CommUnify for the younger children in the home. Officers were happy to facilitate

the donations for families during the holiday season, and youth and families expressed gratitude and thankfulness for the care packages, the probation department noted in a news release. — Dave Mason

SANTA BARBARA — The Assistance League of Santa Barbara recently baked, bagged and delivered 1,200 cookies to Food From The Heart, a local nonprofit. The cookies will be added to Food From The Heart’s meals, which goes to residents dealing with major illnesses, surgeries or failing health and can’t take care of themselves. The effort this holiday season started when cookies were brought to the volunteers at the Assistance League chapter house. “The home-baked cookies were divided into 170 bags with seven different cookies in each bag,” committee chair Sydney Tredick said in a news release. “There were many kinds of delectable cookies, from chocolate chips to rolled, dropped, sliced and bars.” In addition to their donations to Food From the Heart, Assistance League members provided 125 mini-boxes of Sees truffle candies to Meals on Wheels of Santa Barbara to add to its deliveries to the homebound residents. Along with its auxiliaries, Las Aletas and Assisteens, the Assistance League of Santa Barbara’s 350 members volunteer more than 50,000 hours a year to improve residents’ lives. The Assistance League Thrift Shop, located at 1259 Veronica Springs Road in Santa Barbara, is the major source of funding for the nonprofit’s 16 philanthropic programs. For more information, go to www.assistanceleaguesb.org.

Beautify Goleta campaign returns Goleta is ready to look better than ever. That’s the goal of Beautify Goleta, a campaign by the city of Goleta. Beautify Goleta originally started as a way to help residents clean their homes and yards with free bulky items collections. Starting this spring, Beautify Goleta will also host Saturday morning cleanup events in neighborhoods throughout the city, generally every other month. “We are so excited to have this community cleanup volunteer

program launch in the new year!” Environmental Services Coordinator Melissa Nelson said in a news release. “With Beautify Goleta, you can tailor the cleanup event to what works for you. “Cleanups can take place in your own neighborhood or a nearby park or open space. They can consist of large events hosted by organizations, or a small group of friends and neighbors who want to get together and get outside.” The city is in the process

of putting together a team of volunteers, specifically neighborhood captains to organize and run local cleanups. The captains can be individuals, organizations or community groups. If you want to be a neighborhood captain or simply want to help, go to www. cityofgoleta.org/beautifygoleta. Beautify Goleta will have its first neighborhood captains meeting in January. — Dave Mason

Every number in the codeword grid is ‘code’ for a letter of the alphabet. Thus, the number 2 may correspond to the letter L, for instance. All puzzles come with a few letters to start. Your first move should be to enter these letters in the puzzle grid. If the letter S is in the box at the bottom of the page underneath the number 2, your first move should be to find all cells numbered 2 in the grid and enter the letter S. Cross the letter S off the list at the bottom of the grid. Remember that at the end you should have a different letter of the alphabet in each of the numbered boxes 1- 26, and a word in English in each of the horizontal and vertical runs on the codeword grid.

changes for the future. LIBRA — You’ll have to deal with some internal and external conflict. Often you’re so happy to be lost in your dreams that you don’t really focus on what’s going on in the real world. But today alarm bells relating either to work or finances rudely awaken you. It’s useless to panic. You’ve learned that running away only worsens the situation. SCORPIO — Your legendary impatience is playing tricks on you. You’re in too much of a hurry. You may have changed things on the outside but you haven’t changed who you really are. Resist the temptation to sweep everything away to start all over again. If you did, in a few months you’d just be back where you started. Think about a better approach. SAGITTARIUS — You can be a little stubborn, and it seems that you’re in the process of giving a wonderful demonstration of this. You can be a little slow when you need to move, but once you get started, it’s very hard to get you to stop! Still, there’s nothing terribly difficult about making the necessary adjustments. You need to give yourself time. CAPRICORN — You may feel like you can no longer explore your inner feelings, but you must persevere. You have a tremendous capacity to bury problems deeply, and you can go through life obliviously surfing on top of them. It’s true that this strategy allows you to remain in a good mood. But you may never be in such a good mood that you’re profoundly happy. Wouldn’t you agree? AQUARIUS — You’re in the process of changing directions in your professional life. This can’t be done in a day. It’s sometimes painful. Things will be going slowly and require you to think and confront yourself honestly. Don’t run away even if you’re tempted to do so. Trust that you aren’t far from your goal. PISCES — You’ll have to demonstrate your endurance today. Much is required of you, and you have no choice but to make the contribution expected of you.

HOROSCOPE ARIES — You may have some very good ideas relating to your professional field, but do you have complete mastery of them? If not, accept the fact that you can still learn from courses or experts in your field. It won’t kill you to be guided a bit. Stop doubting or criticizing what others propose to you. TAURUS — There may be some worries nagging at you. Perhaps you have a financial concern or minor health complaint. Don’t let it get you down. You have the inner resources to overcome it. Although the current state of affairs has you feeling gloomy, your optimism will return soon. Until then, put your trust in other values, such as love, friendship, and faith. GEMINI — You may feel somewhat grumpy and sluggish, like you have an energy deficit. But the oppressive mood of today will also lend objectivity and reality to any examination you make of what’s happening in your life. For example, any matter that fails to elicit your enthusiasm is probably due for some changes. CANCER — The mood is somewhat oppressive today. If you could, you’d send away anyone who tries to put obstacles in your path. Or maybe you’d prefer to go away yourself! The day ahead is good for a realistic test of the waters. How far do you think you can go with your individual potential, emotionally and professionally? LEO — You’ve decided to blow the whistle on yourself! All of a sudden it’s obvious that you’re not performing as well as you should be. It’s time to put your self-discipline to work. You may change your work methods, budget your money more carefully, or diversify your activities. Perhaps you’ll reorganize your work team. All sorts of solutions are available to you. VIRGO — Career or family? Social recognition or personal gratification? You may feel torn between two poles and spend the better part of the day searching for answers to such questions. Now you’re trying to keep all the bases covered, but the weariness you feel on days like this is a hint that you need to make some wise, realistic

Another federal judge blocks Biden’s vaccine mandate for federal contract workers By BETHANY BLANKLEY THE CENTER SQUARE CONTRIBUTOR

(The Center Square) — A federal court in Florida has temporarily blocked the Biden administration’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for federal contractors, handing another win to Republican attorneys general who’ve sued in multiple states. Of the ruling, Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody said she was proud to secure an injunction to stop President Joe Biden’s vaccine mandate for federal contractors. “Floridians should not have to choose between the vaccine and their careers,” Ms. Moody said. “There is still a lot of fight left in us and we will continue to push back against unlawful fed overreach.” The mandate was issued via executive order Sept. 9, requiring all entities that contract with the federal government to provide “adequate COVID-19 safeguards to their workers performing on or in connection with a federal government contract,” including requiring the COVID-19 shots. The order was touted by the White House as a safeguard “to decrease the spread of COVID-19, which will decrease worker absence, reduce labor costs, and improve the efficiency of contractors and subcontractors at sites where they are performing work for the Federal Government.” But Ms. Moody sued, arguing it violates several federal statutes, Article 1 of the U.S. Constitution, and the Tenth Amendment.

Ms. Moody argues that Pres. Biden doesn’t “have the authority to force millions of Americans to receive a shot, nor does he have the ability to punish Florida economically for not abiding by his authoritarian, unlawful and unconstitutional executive order.” U.S. District Judge Steven Merryday agreed. He granted Ms. Moody’s request for a preliminary injunction on Wednesday. In his ruling, he wrote that Florida “demonstrates a substantial likelihood” that the executive order “exceeds the President’s authority” under the Federal Procurement and Administrative Services Act. “The defendants identify no section of FPASA demonstrating that Congress ‘clearly intended’ to authorize the President (assuming Congress can) to impose a public health requirement as a condition of a contractor’s supplying services,” Judge Merryday wrote. “Of course, the defendants maintain that contractors remain free to refuse to contract with the world’s largest buyer of goods and services,” he added. “But because the President must rely, at best, on Congress’s authorization under FPASA, the President’s attempt to impose under [FPASA] a requirement both that Congress itself likely lacks the power to impose and that traditionally remains textually committed by the Constitution to the states demands a rationale beyond that required for the posting of notices in the workplace, the use of a centralized employment eligibility system, and the like.”

A nationwide preliminary injunction is already in place after U.S. District Judge Stan Baker of the Southern District of Georgia granted the request of seven states and the Associated Builders and Contractors on Dec. 7. In his ruling, he enjoined the federal government from “enforcing the vaccine mandate for federal contractors and subcontractors in all covered contracts in any state or territory of the United States of America.” Two other federal judges also blocked the same mandate in different districts. In Missouri, a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction against the mandate on Dec. 20 in a lawsuit filed by 10 states led by the attorneys general of Missouri and Nebraska. In Kentucky, a federal judge granted a preliminary injunction in a lawsuit filed by attorneys general from Kentucky, Ohio and Tennessee. “This is not a case about whether vaccines are effective. They are. Nor is this a case about whether the government, at some level, and in some circumstances, can require citizens to obtain vaccines. It can,” U.S. District Judge Gregory Van Tatenhove, wrote. “The question presented here is narrow. Can the president use congressionally delegated authority to manage the federal procurement of goods and services to impose vaccines on the employees of federal contractors and subcontractors? In all likelihood, the answer to that question is no.”

After massive bust, Arizona lawmaker wants to beef up fentanyl-dealing punishment By COLE LAUTERBACH THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) — An Arizona lawmaker wants to strengthen the penalty for drug dealers whose narcotics kill someone. State Rep. Quang Nguyen, RPrescott, has introduced House Bill 2021, which, he said, would greatly strengthen penalties for individuals proven to have knowingly sold fentanyl-tainted drugs that lead to a person’s death. The legislation would classify drug trafficking homicide as a Class 1 felony in Arizona.

“We are in a war to save lives,” Rep. Nguyen said. “Fentanyl is an extremely powerful and dangerous drug that’s responsible for killing tens of thousands of Americans each year. Its deadly impact on Arizonans is growing, and many families in Yavapai County have been destroyed because of it. This is a public crisis, and it needs to stop now.” The penalty for a Class 1 felony in Arizona is at least 10 years in prison. Rep. Nguyen said the legislation would arm prosecutors with tougher legal penalties that could

be used to hold accountable drug traffickers and dealers for overdose deaths. The bill was filed four days after Scottsdale police, in cooperation with the Phoenix bureau of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency, announced it seized 1.7 million pills containing fentanyl, estimated to be enough to kill 700,000 people. First made in China, fentanyl arrives at key Mexican Sinaloacontrolled ports where cartel operatives turn the drug into pills that look like prescription pills to sell primarily in the U.S. market brought by traffickers across the

border. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released data in November that showed overdose deaths in Arizona increased 33% to 2,743 from February 2020 to April 2021. Synthetic opioids such as fentanyl accounted for nearly two-thirds of those deaths. Fentanyl is multiple times more potent than typical painkillers such as Oxycontin. The powerful opioid has become a popular drug to smuggle across the southern border into California and Arizona, according to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency.

Mayor Jenny Durkan Illinois’ economic to use veto to save recovery lags behind hazard pay for Seattle rest of the nation grocery workers Illinois had By KEVIN BESSLER THE CENTER SQUARE

By BRETT DAVIS THE CENTER SQUARE STAFF REPORTER

(The Center Square) — In one of her last official acts as mayor of Seattle, Jenny Durkan will veto city council legislation to end the additional $4 an hour of hazard pay for grocery store workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Seattle City Council voted 8-0 last week to end the requirement in recognition of “considerable progress made toward supporting the health and safety of frontline workers and community through high rates of vaccinations and reduced numbers of COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations,” the bill summary states. “Now is not the time to roll back the pay for these critical front-line workers,” Mayor Durkan said Wednesday in a prepared statement defending her veto plans, citing the omicron variant and rising infection rates. “In a time that there are no good choices, there are decisions we can make to protect the health, safety, and wellbeing of our residents, and hazard pay is one of the key city policies that have supported workers who have supported all of us.” Given the eight votes for repeal, the city council theoretically has enough votes to override Mayor Durkan’s veto, though there has been some public vacillation. Councilmembers did not respond to emails from The Center Square asking if they would vote to override the mayor’s veto. Fresh from surviving a recall effort last week by a margin of 310 votes, socialist Councilmember and frequent political foe Kshama Sawant praised Mayor Durkan’s veto. Ms. Sawant said the vote was a “capitulation” from “self-described progressive

Democrats in the interests of big business,” reported the Seattle Times. Ms. Sawant, who was a cosponsor of the legislation providing hazard pay to grocery store employees, was absent from last week’s vote to repeal the hazard pay ordinance. After the vote to repeal the legislation, Councilmember Teresa Mosqueda, who sponsored both the original hazard pay ordinance and the repeal, indicated that she has changed her mind again. “In the last week, the emergence, prevalence and severity of COVID has increased due to the Omicron variant,” Ms. Mosqueda explained in a Wednesday statement. “We have also received new public health guidance and advice, evolving as late as last Friday. We are now seeing the effects the Omicron variant will have on our population’s health and the elevated risk grocery store workers will face in the months ahead. It’s with these new developments that hazard pay will remain in place.” Councilmember Lisa Herbold voted for repeal, but now supports Mayor Durkan’s veto. “Public health is the number one priority,” Ms. Herbold said in a prepared statement. “And as we continue to get updated advice from Public Health officials we should react quickly to protect the health and safety of our constituents.” The Seattle City Council voted 8-0 last January to approve the mandatory hazard pay for the duration of the pandemic. Mayor Durkan initially sought re-election to a second term but withdrew last December due to the economic impact of COVID and civil unrest in Seattle. Mayor-Elect Bruce Harrell will take office on Jan. 1, 2022. Brett Davis covers Washington state for The Center Square.

(The Center Square) — As the U.S. tries to recover from a COVID-19 pandemic recession, Illinois is among the states slowing down the nation’s economic recovery. Illinois had the 13th worst economic contraction in the country, with gross output shrinking by over 11 percent during the pandemic. One issue impeding recovery is a worker shortage. A MoneyGeek study found that only 14 states fully recovered to jobs level above those in February of 2020, a month before the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. The study showed as of July of this year, red and blue states recovered the same percentage of jobs lost since the April 2020 low. However, blue states like Illinois lost more jobs than red states at the start of the pandemic, making it more difficult for them to recover jobs to pre-pandemic levels. “Blue states have really started to add back jobs and open up a lot more now that vaccines have become more widely available, and red states started a little bit earlier,” said MoneyGeek spokesman Doug Milnes. With prices likely to rise further in the coming months with higher energy costs expected to contribute, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s repeated assertion that high inflation is transitory could be put to the test. Illinois State University professor George Waters said you can blame it on the disruption of the supply chain. “Absolutely, I think that is the major story,” said Dr. Waters. “All the stories you hear about supply chain problems that can drive up prices for individual goods quite a bit in the short term.” The broken supply chain has led to a scarcity of goods, delays

the 13th worst economic contraction in the country, with gross output shrinking by over 11 percent during the pandemic.

in getting supplies to sell, and skyrocketing inflation, which is now the top concern among small businesses for the second month in a row. “The supply chain is definitely to blame, and that is getting compounded every month and that is leading to other issues like the labor shortage,” said Chuck Castro, head of news, public relations and research with Alignable. Mr. Castro added that 70% of Illinois businesses reported the labor shortage was really hampering their recovery, slightly higher than the national percentage. Orphe Divounguy, chief economist for the Illinois Policy Institute, said there was one legislative move in 2021 that will continue to be a drag on the state’s economy. “The governor raising business taxes in his latest budget, which is not going to help the recovery,” said Mr. Divounguy. Divounguy said there were warnings of a lack of skilled labor before the pandemic, and now many of the people returning to the workforce will lack the skills needed to compete in a post-COVID digital economy.
