29th Ward budget voting begins Residents have until Nov. 20 to vote on projects they’d like the menu money to fund

By XUEER ZHANG AustinTalks

Voting has begun in the 29th Ward on which community projects will be funded in 2018 out of Ald. Chris Taliaferro’s annual “menu money” budget.

The alderman is hosting five expos across the ward, where residents at least 14 years old can cast up to three votes on five neighborhood projects being considered for funding. Residents can also vote at the alderman’s ward office at 6272 W. North Ave. Five “most viable” projects made it on the ballot this year, Taliaferro told AustinTalks, noting he did not take part in the selection process.

“Our [participatory budgeting] committee handled all of the intake of ideas,” he said. “We are trying to get the community involved in the entire process.”

This is the second year the first-term alderman has used “participatory budgeting” to spend some of the $1.3 million “menu money” earmarked for ward infrastructure.

HIS LATEST ACT: Austin native Maurice Robinson in the Uptown studio where he produces his new radio show, Alternative Thought.

Austin native reaches for media moguldom Maurice Robinson is constantly reinventing himself, this time as a media entrepreneur

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

When Maurice Robinson, a graduate of Proviso West High School in west suburban Hillside, attended his 10-year class reunion a few years ago, he said he was approached by classmates who still remember a blowout fashion show he put on as an 18-year-old entrepreneur and jack-of-all trades. The show was something of a prelude to the Austin native’s latest act as the host of his own radio

show and aspiring media mogul.

“I had like four or five limos, it was one of the biggest fashion shows ever at Proviso West and I made a ton of money for an 18-year-old kid,” Robinson said during an interview earlier this month inside of the Uptown studio where he records his new show.

“I enjoyed the people I put into the show. I was popular among the unpopular and never really fit into a mold, so I brought art students into the mix, I had plus-size girls, fly girls, everybody was in the show,” Robinson

said. “It was a community.”

In 2014, when Robinson campaigned to become an alderman in the Chicago ward where he grew up, the 31-year-old former rapper and producer imagined that he’d expand that diverse community through a seat on the City Council.

Three years and one hard-earned political education later, Robinson said the radio show is in the inclusive spirit of that high See MAURICE ROBINSON on page 6

Anthony Clark, on generations of sacrifice Anthony Clark, an Oak Park teacher and candidate for U.S. Congress (7th District), spoke briefly during Veteran’s Day last week about his family’s deep history in the armed services.

“My grandfather (dad’s side), Leonard H. Clark, served in World War II in the Navy. My grandfather, Wiley H. Samuels, Sr., served in World War II in the Army. My father, Ronald Clark, Sr., served in Vietnam, 1st Cavalry Division. My brother, Ronald Clark, Jr., who is 50 years old, served in the United States Air Force, and myself, Anthony V.

Lawmakers outline city, county budgets

During a Nov. 7 budget hearing, West Siders voiced concerns about minority contracts, police spending

By IGOR STUDENKOV Contributing Reporter

Austin residents, and other citizens represented by Ald. Chris Taliaferro (29th) and Cook County Commissioner Richard Boykin (1st), got a chance to ask questions and express concerns about next year’s city and county budgets during a Nov. 7 budget briefing town hall event.

The event was held in Austin Town Hall, 5610 W. Lake St, and organized by Boykin, who invited Taliaferro to take part as well, giving the alderman a chance to address their constituents’ concerns on the city side.

For the city, the availability of contract opportunities for minority-owned companies was a major issue, as was Chicago Police Department’s ability to recruit minorities and the funding for the Civilian Office of Police Accountability. On the county side, the property taxes were the main concerns, as was how much the county government should cut.

The Chicago City Council will vote to whether to approve the Fiscal Year 2018 budget during its Nov. 15 meeting. The Cook County Board of Commissioners is also expected to vote on its FY 2018 budget sometime this month.

The city budget proposal includes about $123.8 million in investments. Taliaferro highlighted several initiatives, including hiring 425 new officers in 2018. The alderman said that every officer has to get field training, which is why the budget has enough money for 322 field training officers — 100 more than this year. The trick, Taliaferro added, would be to hire enough officers to keep pace with retirements.

Other initiatives included using $19 million to expand Chicago Public Schools’ Safe Passage program, spending additional $5.2 million to expand afterschool mentoring programs, summer jobs for youth and other youth-orientated programs. Talieferro noted that the expansion would only go so far “I don’t believe there will be an increase in the number of One Summer Chicago jobs [in 2018,” he said.

Taliaferro also said that the budget will also address an issue that has been brought up in a number of 29th and 28th Ward community meetings — the months-long lag in garbage can replacement.

“I know I purchased [100 garbage carts] of my own with my aldermanic account, because it was taking too long,” he said, adding that the city would be spending around $500,000 to buy more garbage carts, which, he said, should be enough to get rid of the backlog.

According to a handout presented during

the town hall, the city will be spending a cent of the city contracts, an improvement little over $10 billion, slightly more than the is needed,” Taliaferro said. “In fact, when I $9,919.8 million the city wound up spending found it out and listened to procurement officials, their main reasoning is that they don’t according to the revised FY 2017 budget.

In response to a question about the city Karl Brinson, the president of Chicago budget, Taliaferro mentioned that one of the Westside NAACP, raised concerns about issues that concerns him was the fact that reports that COPA was underfunded. As black-owned businesses still get a relatively previously reported by Austin Weekly, the small portion of the city contracts. city law requires its budget to be equal to “If African-Americans receive eight per- at least one percent of the parts of CPD’s

budget that don’t come from grants. The proposed budgets sets CPD’s non-grant budget at $1.45 billion. One percent of that is $14,569,670.72, which is little under $1.3 million more than what COPA actually got.

“We weren’t happy with the establishment of COPA,” Brinson said. “Now you sold us on this new institution and now we find out [this].”

“If it’s true, it’s wrong,” Taliaferro said, adding that he would follow up with the budget director.

Another resident raised a concern that several aldermen voiced during the Nov. 2 CPD budget hearing. While AfricanAmericans and other minorities were applying to join the force in greater numbers than ever before, the majority of the candidates that actually made it in were white. Taliaferro, who used to be a police officer himself, said he shared those concerns.

“Somewhere along the way, they’re — I don’t want to say ‘weeded out’ — they’re disqualified,” he said. “And I asked [CPD] Superintendent about that. We asked the superintendent to look at the psychological examinations, the racial make-up of the examiners. When you have 80 percent of the applicants being minorities and 20 percent being hired, there is a flaw in the process.”

Taliaferro noted that he raised the same issue the previous year. “[Since then], there were no changes,” he said. “[Candidates] are still given the same psych test.”

The alderman noted that he personally spoke to one of the candidates who was disqualified.

“He erased something because he thought he was wrong,” Taliaferro said. “And they disqualified him because they thought he was lying.”

With respect to the county budget, Truss said that the county should do a better job of assessing downtown properties to keep up with what they’re actually worth, and generate more property tax revenue in the process.

“He’s from the Chris Kennedy school of thought,” Boykin responded. “I agree with that. We’ve got to figure out how everyone can pay their fair share.”

Another resident, who declined to give her name but identified herself as a county employee, argued that the county has too many administrative positions, and it could save money by trimming them. Boykin responded that he wouldn’t mind seeing cuts, but only up to a point.

“I will not go for the budget that cut public defenders, attorneys and sheriff ’s police,” he said, adding that he felt that the county had a moral obligation to keep residents safe and healthy. So while, for example, he may not be averse to cutting doctors’ bonuses, Boykin said, he didn’t want to cut anything that would significantly affect the county health system’s ability to care for patients.

W. Side elected officials come out against GOP tax bill The leaders say that the bill will increase the debt, hurt working families

By XUEER ZHANG AustinTalks

West Side elected officials and community leaders gathered earlier this month to voice their strong opposition to the tax overhaul bill the U.S. House Republicans unveiled on Nov. 2.

The legislation would disproportionately affect Chicago’s West Side if it became law, they warned.

The tax-reform bill, backed by President Donald Trump and pushed by the Republican-controlled House, would be a dramatic blow to low-income families on Chicago’s West Side, the politicians said.

U.S. Congressman Danny Davis called the proposal “the most consequential piece of federal legislation that any of us has ever seen,” saying it’s another attempt by the GOP and the president “to rip off the poor to enrich the wealthy.”

The bill would make a number of changes to the federal tax code, including altering the tax rate for both families and individuals, and limiting a number of popular deductions, including mortgage interest, state and income taxes, and property taxes.

The bill’s GOP proponents say the proposal would streamline the tax code and result in an estimated $1,200 tax cut for a typical middle-income family whose median household income is $59,000.

“It’s a cut for taxpayers that would lead to even more national debt,” said Davis, who noted the national deficit is already at about $20 trillion.

And the bill, which features significant tax cuts for investors and corporations, would lead to cuts in essential services for the poor, the longtime congressman said.

If adopted, the bill would eliminate the student loan interest deduction and other higher education benefits — all of which would disproportionately affect the AfricanAmerican population and low-income families, Davis said.

“We will go on to try to change those parts of the bill that we think need to be changed in order to better serve the people we represent,” he said.

“We need to make sure that everybody pays their fair share,” Davis said, adding he’s poised to present his amendments in the House, which began debating the bill in November.

Cook County Commissioner Richard Boykin said the bill is “one of the worst” offered by congressional Republicans, noting many people in Cook County would see their property taxes go up if it became law.

The bill would limit how much could be deducted in state and local property tax deduc-

tions to $10,000; and it would cap the amount of mortgage interest that could be deducted to $500,000, halving the current $1 million cap couples can now deduct.

“We cannot let it happen,” Boykin said.

“We must call our congress people and senators and demand they vote ‘no’ on this terrible bill.”

Ald. Jason Ervin (28th) said, “This will have detrimental impact on some of the affordable housing programs we are trying to accomplish in the city of Chicago.”

“It’s giving a small tax break to many of the people we represent at the expense of losing vital programs our communities need,” he added.

Ald. Emma Mitts (37th), chairwoman of the West Side Black Elected Officials, also condemned the tax plan.

“What I’m afraid of is that as our communities are losing their homes, any tax credits [cuts] is going to hurt even more so,” Mitts said.

Scaling back the mortgage interest and property tax deductions would be a big blow to West Side Realtors and homeowners, who have seen their property values and taxes increase over the past years, said managing broker Cedrick Hunter of Oak Park.

“We all know that home ownership boosts the economy and keeps the economy moving forward,” Hunter said.

People who look forward to their tax refunds wouldn’t get them in full if the bill passes, Hunter said during an interview after the meeting, adding that it could deter some from buying a home.

“It’s going to eventually affect property values, and the economy is going to suffer dramatically,” he said.

Elected officials called on residents to stand together against the bill.

“We must get engaged to make sure that those who have pay their fair share,” state Rep. Camille Lilly said.

“This will impact those who are currently unemployed and those who will be unemployed,” she said. “This type of legislation will turn our country in the wrong direction.”

Ald. Chris Taliaferro (29th) added, “When we walk these streets on the West Side of Chicago, we see a lot of what is not in our community,” he said. “We have to stand together and fight for which is rightfully ours.”

The U.S. House could vote on the tax proposal before the end of this month.

Loretto board names new president/CEO George N. Miller, who replaced Dr. Sonia Mehta as the hospital’s new president and CEO, is the first African American in that position Partner

Loretto Hospital’s board of trustees has appointed George N. Miller Jr. as its new president and chief executive officer effective Nov. 1.

He’s the first African-American CEO in the hospital’s history. Miller is the former CEO and president of CommUnityCare Health Centers, the largest FQHC in Texas and the 10th largest in America. He also served on the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC) under Presidents George W. Bush and Barack H. Obama.

Miller replaces Dr. Sonia Mehta, who took the helm in 2012.

“With just over 100 beds in use, the nonprofit is considered a safety net for its neighboring communities, treating a large number of poor and uninsured patients. It has far fewer financial resources than its more affluent rivals,” Modern Health Care reported earlier this week.

Miller’s appointment is a strategic move by the board to help drive decisions to improve health equity for Austin residents.

“With the changing landscape of health care, this is the perfect time for George Miller to serve as Loretto’s next CEO,” said Board Chairman Edward M. Hogan, founding partner and lawyer at Hogan Marren Babbo & Rose Ltd. “George is a very strong leader, with a successful track record for transforming both small and large health care organizations.

We believe this is the right decision in order for Loretto Hospital to meet the growing health care needs of the communities it serves,” Hogan said in a statement.

Miller, who on his first day at Loretto walked the halls to greet every employee, is widely known as an expert in turnaround operations, for motivating his staff and for delivering nationally recognized health care quality to complex organizations.

With more than 28 years of experience, Miller has served as a senior health care executive and thought leader specializing in community health advocacy, health care operations and physician engagement.

“I am inspired by the people at Loretto Hospital, its history, its mission, the work they have done in the community and the

“I use my faith to help me guide where to take an organization, wherever I go,” Miller said. “I was successful in Austin, Texas, and I’ll bring that same success to Loretto Hospital and to the Austin community in Chicago.”

vast improvements they have made over the years,” Miller said in a statement.

“But there is still so much work to be done. We have to be excellent. We have to be the very best in Chicago. Everyone has to be part of the process to deliver excellent health care. Therefore, we will work as a team to improve access to quality care, efficiency in operations and patient satisfaction in this community.”

As CEO at CommUnityCare in Austin, Texas, Miller expanded access to quality health care in underserved communities by opening additional locations, including a new health center that is the largest in Texas, and the only FQHC located on a historically black college campus.

He was responsible for increasing CommUnityCare’s revenues from $60 million to $100 million, and its employees from 550 to 850.

Prior to CommUnityCare, Miller served as the CEO concurrently for QHR Quorum Health Resources in Brentwood, Tennessee, and worked for Okmulgee Memorial Hospital in Okmulgee, Oklahoma, for two years.

Miller has also worked in Springfield and Cincinnati, Ohio; Kankakee, Illinois; Jasper

The internet is perfect for the entrepreneur

ne of the hardest ventures I ever undertook was writing, publishing, marketing, and subsequently selling my own book. It is, for someone like myself who had only known making money by working for someone else, a concept that is initially hard to grasp and even more difficult to master. Because the concept of “making one’s own money” is so foreign to the majority of us, I suspect it is often rejected as opposed to being embraced.

Many in the black community, I think, face the same sort of invisible hindrance that I once did.

Self-doubt is the worst; that inner voice telling us what we can’t do is the reason foreigners can come to this country and see all the potential ways to make money while native citizens are stuck in a quagmire that keeps them in a perpetual cycle of un-accomplishment.

How do we change that reality? If I had the answer, I would shout it from the mountaintops. But I believe it all starts with individuals with the moral fortitude to take on challenges and situations that the average person refuses. It also involves not accepting the age-old myth, that “selling drugs” is the only opportunity available. If one can sell drugs, then one can replace those drugs with gym shoes, jeans, or anything else legal to sell.

Selling online has now become a way for people to make money. Originally, I would only look to a site like Craig’s List to search for items I wanted that people were selling.

Now there are other sites gaining popularity like OfferUp, letgo, and my personal favorite, Facebook Marketplace. Each site works in a similar manner in that individuals post what they want to sell while others searching for items can find what they want.

One of the things I’ve noticed on Facebook Marketplace is that people have been offering to sell food they make at home. In the past, I know people who have been hesitant to cook or bake for others because they didn’t have a way to let others know about it. Word-of-mouth has never been as lucrative as the ability to gain access to people 24/7, especially when the people browsing are on websites looking to make purchases to begin with.

If I were someone who wanted to get involved in such a plan, I would first make a YouTube video showing how I create certain items. That gives people a chance to see your food preparation location. Then you can link your advertisement on other online sites to that video. I know there is a huge market out there because after watching certain YouTube videos, I have concluded, based on the comments, that many young people don’t know how to cook what people of my generation learned to cook. Or someone has a fabulous talent for making certain things.

I have a neighbor who makes the best dressing filled with hot sausage. Another neighbor makes a fantastic banana pudding. A good friend makes a sweet potato pie that is fabulous.

The internet and the ability to make money go hand-in-hand. Let’s embrace technology as a money-making device and use it for that purposes. Before Uber and Lyft burst on the scene, black folks were doing the same thing with Jitney Cabs. The only difference is that those providing jitney services never envisioned what else one could do with the internet.

29TH WARD BUDGET Vote now! from page 1 patory budgeting, and since then, nine other aldermen across the city have joined in. In the rest of the wards, it’s up to the alderman on how the annual menu money is spent.

Taliaferro said he did not launch the process when he first took office in 2015 due to urgent infrastructure needs on Chicago’s West Side.

But last year he set aside $700,000 for participatory budgeting, something he promised to do during his campaign against then-incumbent Ald. Deborah Graham.

Last year, the money was used to fund eight community projects, including murals and community gardens; about 80 residents participated in the vote.

This year, community representatives narrowed the list of projects to five based on 67 ideas received from residents from July to September, according to the alderman’s office.

The five projects will cost about $612,500, said Austin resident Terry Redmond, a member of the South Austin Neighborhood Association who’s in charge of the ward’s participatory budgeting process.

The five projects to be voted on would:

$72,000.

“I think it’s a good opportunity to get (young people) involved in the voting process…”

Some of the proposals that did not make this year’s ballot will be carried over to the participatory budgeting process in 2019, Redmond said. That includes building small book libraries like those in Oak Park and River Forest, she said.

Taliaferro said he hopes there’s a good turnout, especially of young people.

“I think it’s a good opportunity to get (young people) involved in the voting process actually before they are able to vote in the state, city, county and federal elections,” he said.

“It gives them an idea of seeing democracy, seeing the projects they’ve been interested in and supporting, and going out to support it by voting,” he said.

To increase youth engagement, the participatory budgeting team held meetings with students from Frederick Douglass High School earlier this year, where about 25 ideas were collected, Redmond said.

She said they are considering getting students from Douglass and Michele Clark High School involved in designing some of the neighborhood projects once the results are in.

The alderman’s office will announce the results a few days after voting ends, said Chris Abbasi, a staffer with Taliaferro’s office.

Approved projects will go to City Hall for approval once the menu money becomes available in January, Abbasi said.

Our heroin crisis is an emergency

O

amount quadrupled to 2,196 kg in 2013.

According to a March 2017 CDC report, although prescription opioids were driving the increase in overdose deaths for many years in the United States, more recently, the large increase in overdose deaths has been due mainly to increases in heroin and synthetic opioid (like fentanyl) overdose deaths, not prescription opioids.

The available data indicate these increases are largely due to illicitly manufactured fentanyl. So for now, heroin, especially if laced by fentanyl, is actually killing more people that prescription opioids – we have to pay more attention to heroin.

The Chicago Department of Public Health has recently released its October 2017 Epidemiology Report, and it is important reading for everyone on the West Side.

This report shows that from 2015 to 2016, there has been a 74 percent increase in the number of overdose deaths involving opioids, going from 426 deaths to 741 deaths.

More than 65 percent of overdose deaths in 2016 involved heroin. Furthermore, there has been a great increase in the number of people dying of fentanyl overdoses, with more that 56 percent of overdose deaths in 2016 involving fentanyl. (Some people

n September 6, Gov. Bruce Rauner signed an executive order here on the West Side establishing the Governor’s Opioid Overdose Prevention and Intervention Task Force. The Task Force is co-chaired by Lt. Gov. Evelyn Sanguinetti and Dr. Nirav D. Shah, Director of the Illinois Department of Public Health.

The Task Force’s job is to look at strategies to prevent expansion of the opioid crisis, treat and promote the recovery of individuals with opioid-use disorder, and reduce the number of opioid overdose deaths.

Lt. Gov. Sanguinetti and Director Shah asked me to join them on the panel on their listening tour, and we have heard stories of pain and anguish as families all over our state are affected by this crisis. Living on the West Side of Chicago, the voices can’t be any louder for help.

In the United States, heroin-related deaths more than tripled between 2010 and 2015, with 12,989 heroin deaths in 2015, according to the CDC, with many of the deaths due to fentanyl being mixed into the heroin.

According to data from the DEA, the amount of heroin seized each year at the southwest border of the United States was approximately 500 kg during 2000–2008. This

On October 26, 2017 the full Illinois House of Representatives voted in favor of a resolution I introduced, HR 592, to urge Governor Bruce Rauner to declare a Heroin State of Emergency in Illinois.

There is so much heroin in our community that pass-outs are common, where heroin is passed out free to get people addicted and to become regular paying customers. There is so much heroin that even if people want to stop using heroin by going into a Medication Assisted Treatment program with methadone, buprenorphine/ naloxone (Suboxone), or naltrexone (Vivitrol) combined with much-needed counseling, they are still offered free heroin in their neighborhood.

And, the environment is so saturated with heroin in some areas that it is very hard for some to stay away from using heroin. As one person said, “If you hang around the barbershop long enough, you eventually get a haircut.”

It is clearer than ever that we have a heroin crisis, and we must fight to bring help to our communities that are in need. Too many people continue to die, and the heroin crisis is an emergency that we should fight and defeat now.

died of a lethal combination of heroin and fentanyl.)

Fentanyl is an extremely powerful substance, 50 times more powerful than heroin, and street heroin on the West Side is often laced with fentanyl to boost its effects, but often with deadly results.

The Chicago Epidemiology Report has more statistics that we need to pay attention to. Though there has been recent emphasis on controlling the prescription of narcotic pills like Norco or Vicodin, only 5 percent of Chicago’s overdose deaths in 2016 were caused by pain reliever pills. People may argue that some people move from prescribed pills to heroin, and that may be true in certain parts of the United States, but it appears that here in Chicago, we primarily have a street heroin problem.

The Report also shows that in Chicago in 2016, the demographics show that 39 percent of overdose deaths were African American, 25 percent were White, 17 percent were Latino, and 3 percent were Asian.

Heroin has been shipped into areas like the West and South Sides of Chicago for decades, creating addiction, economic havoc, incarceration, and disruption of many lives and families, including people in my own family.
