ImproperPersonalBenefit
TwoexamplesofthepoliticalenterpriseofJohnTillman,Inc.existtodemonstrate

bulkofthemoneyfromThinkFreelycamefromagrantfromIPI(alsorunby
Tillman)whichwasthenpaidtoVirionStrategiesforanunknownproduct.Thisis
aclearcaseofanimproperpersonalbenefit.
This,however,isnttheonlyinstance.VirtualLearningSolutionswasanother

theAuroraarea.TheorganizationlistsTedDabrowskiandEricKohnasofficers
(coincidentally,EricKohnswife,RebeccaKohnworksforIPIasSeniorManager
forExternalRelations).Whenthecharterschoolapplicationwasdenied,IPI
beganalobbyingcampaignto,amongotherthings,preventtheIllinoisLegislature
fromenactingavirtualcharterschoolban.
ThispolicywasalmosttransparentlydirectlytiedtoVirtualLearningSolutions.If
thecharterwasapprovedduetoIPIslobbying,revenuewouldstartflowingand
presumablytheofficersofthatorganizationwouldstartaccruingpersonal

topaycompensation.Ifthecharterwasapproved,itmakessensetoassumethe

Thatsaid,othercloseassociatesorofficersofJohnTillman,Inc.havegotten

As explained
previously,
early data from
the campaign
committee had
to be manually
entered into
the database
that had been
opened around
2012. The
reason for this
is that the
former
database
information had
been

lost/destroyed.
After auditing
the data, the
balances are
about $2000 off
from previous
reports.

These reports
were amended
to show debt
that should
have been
carried over
from 2009. In
addition, there
were also loans
made in 2009
that were
characterized
as "in-kind
contributions."
That debt is
also carried
over here.

These reports
were amended
to show debt
that should
have been
carried over
from 2009. In
addition, there
were also loans
made in 2009
that were
characterized
as "in-kind

That debt is

Supporters,
See below for on update compiled from John Tillman, Don Proft, Pot Hughes, and Matt Besler.
Our focus: candidates & cash
We're In full swing to recruit candidates for '14 legislative races with a dual focus: finding the right Republ icans for safe
Republican seats, and finding the right Republicans in expected swing districts (there will be many fewer in the Senate
because only 1/3 of Senate is up in ' 14).
We're engaged and have sat down with dozens of candidates for municipal office this spring as one recruitment source for
legislative candidates in '14 and beyond, as well as a source for support for legislative candidates in regions where we expect
to see target races.

Last month, Pat spoke at a Peoria Tea Party event and at the Aurora Township GOP monthly meeting earlier this
month.
Dan spoke at the Jersey County Lincoln Day Dinner on Saturday night.
Whil e in Jersey County, Dan met with local candidates, activists, and media in the Metro East area.
Upcoming: Dan will be at the Homer Township Republican Organization annual dinner this Friday and is speaking at a
city council candidate fundraiser Saturday evening.
We are looking to collaborate and join forces where possible, meeting with United Republican Fund Executive
Director Dennis Lacomb and board member Jean Regan.
We are considering putting together a fundraiser event in suburbs in early-mid March, perhaps at Medinah.
See attached. One-page questionnaire put together for House GOP members to complete in advance of t his week's House
GOP retreat (apt word for a House GOP gathering: "retreat") to frame their discussions. The quality of this questionnaire
highlights the importance of IOP's work and the need for a well-funded IE to do the work that simply will not come from
current leadership, as has been repeatedly demonstrated.

opinion ond does not represent the views of any organization with which he is involved.)
Analysis
The Democrats have had majorities in both chambers and the governorship for many years. On Wednesday
Jan. 9, 2013, the Democrats seated supermajorities. Thus, if the GOP chooses, it can simply make the
Democrats own bad policy results and use the monopoly control that Democrats possess as a cudgel when
strategically or tactically advantageous. To create leverage and occasionally use the cudgel requires a
commitment to a clear policy agenda based in principle, as well as the ability to communicate effectively with
the public on a sustained basis.
Republican legislators only can be "blamed" when they are in the minority if they fail to make rhetorical
arguments that put the blame where it belongs - on the majority. Nevertheless, the Democrats and the press
will blame Republicans. Confident leadership can rebut effectively.
It is bipartisanship that created the failed 1995 pension ramp; it is bipartisanship that created the failed
Medicaid solution last year; it is bipartisanship that passed two failed budgets in a row. Bipartisanship should
only be attractive to the GOP when Democrats are adopting elements of GOP policies, not when faced with
the prospect of signing on to Democratic policies that move our state in the wrong direction and gi ve them
the political cover they seek. "Compromise" is not tantamount to success, and providing Democrats with
political cover makes it harder to beat them at election time.
Given the Democrat supermajorities, the GOP caucuses are reduced primarily to seats that are "safe"
Republican seats (there are exceptions, of course). This provides each caucus with more freedom to take
bolder positions on policy. Being bolder is helpful to creating a clear branding contrast, while at the same
time beginning to rebuild the brand from the conservative base back to the middle.
Political rebirths are built from the base back to the middle, not the middle back to the base (Obama, Clinton,
Bush II and Reagan are all examples of this; Romney tried to bui ld from the middle back to the base and
failed).
The Illinois GOP caucuses have also tried to build from the middle back to the base for years. They are now in
a superminority.
Building from the base back to the middle does not mean focusing on social Issues (though you should not
alienate those voters, either). The good news is that the GOP base is primarily focused on fiscal and economic
issues. This means both caucuses can focus on spending, debt, job creation and all the attendant issues
(government employee compensation and pensions, health care, Medicaid, education, regulation, etc.).
To make these issues work effectively, the caucuses must carve out clear, disti nguishing policy differences from
the Democrats. Being a partner to improve Democrat policies on the margins is a failing strategy. Being a
partner to "share credi t" for passing a failing policy proposal does not help you build from the base back to
the middle - it weakens you with the base and with funders.
There is an incredibly powerful draw among House and Senate Republican staffers and members (and civic
groups) to focus on having a "seat at the table" to negotiate with Democrat majorities and "make the results
better" than they otherwise would be. This is a false choice and means the caucuses lose on two fronts. First,
they lose because they simply sanction and give bipartisan credibility to fai li ng solutions. Second, they
alienate fiscal and economic conservatives (and social conservatives) because it appears the caucuses simply
want to partner with Democrats and cannot face the alternative of defending what should be core
conservative and Republican principles and policies.
Madigan and Cullerton fully understand the seductive nature of "having a seat at the table." This is why they
constantly talk about bipartisan solutions and needing the two GOP caucus leaders to be "partners." But
partnering with them on their agenda mutes the GOP's ability to rally its base as step one and then make a
case to independent and swing voters as step two. Further, it reduces the GOP's ability to raise major funding
I: Blueprint update Jan. 30

and compete. Donors see caucus leaders and their efforts as ineffective, standing for nothing worthy and with
little chance of success. This is why caucus leaders continue to have t rouble raising the funding needed to be
competitive politically (to say nothing of the campaign strategy employed).
The "seat at the table" mindset demoral izes the base and thus creates a self-fulfilling cycle - "we are in the
minority, we must be a good partner." When GOP leaders " partner" by sanctioning Democrat policies, this
further demoralizes the base, lowers grass-roots Intensity, and stifles donor enthusiasm and the quality of
candidate recruitment. All of this leads to repeated election failures. The leaders then blame "the political
landscape" that they helped created for their failure to compete electorally.
Soluti on
Strategic imperative 1: A clear, principle-centered poli cy agenda.
Rank-and-file leaders within the GOP caucuses must emerge and develop a unified, clear branding policy agenda
based in principle as follows:
1. The GOP is committed to limiting spending growth for state government to x percent per year from thi s point
forward. Only by limiting spending to a rate of growth less than organic (not tax-rate enhanced) revenue
growth can Illinois' problems be fixed. The Democrats are spending our state into oblivion. The resulting debt
burden is crushing our taxpayers, and sadly, putting the poor and disadvantaged - those most vulnerable - at
risk by having overpromised and overspent for too long. We are going to take the credit card away and refocus
state spending on core services like education and providing for the poor and disadvantaged, all while we
work to improve our jobs competitiveness.
2. To live within this spending limit that allows government to grow sure and steady - predictably, but not out
of control - we will embrace reforms that take a balanced and fair approach with the three key constituent
groups being treated equitably:
a. Government workers and retirees
b. Those who benefit from government spending
c. The taxpayers who provide all the resources to make it all possible
Each will be treated fairly, truthfully and most important, realistically. This means each group must sacrifice -
taxpayers will continue to pay taxes to fund government, though we wil l work to lower their burden over
time. Recipients of that spending will have fewer services available as limited funding is focused on the poor
and disadvantaged - those most in need. Government workers cannot be put ahead of the poor and
disadvantaged or our chil dren's education. They, too, will have to face the truth that promises made by union
leaders and politi cians from the past cannot be kept. Only this balanced approach will provide the path to
policy solutions that actually fix our problems.
Strategic imperative 2: Make the Democrats own the bad choices and only partner and offer bipartisanship when the
Democrats j oin in on policy solutions from the platform above.
1. The caucuses must redefine what "having a seat at the table" means. It does not mean that you negotiate
with those in power on how to pass bad legislation made marginally better. Instead, it means setting up new
"tables" all across the state. Once you have laid out your principle-centered agenda and specific policies,
begin a road show traveling all across the state, district by district, civic group by civic group, those who
support, those who oppose, seats held by Rs and seats held by Ds, and make your case over and over again for
two straight years. Define the brand by what you say, not what the Dems say about you.
2. Develop a cl ear policy filter that guides your deci si on making when you engage Democrats or when you reject
their overtures. The filter should be si mple: If the policy increases the freedom of individuals and businesses
to pursue prosperity unencumbered by government, engage and make it better. If the policy increases
government power over individuals and their free enterprise efforts, oppose and reject engagement.

': Blueprint update - Jan. 30

As you put policy proposals through this filter, it wi ll provide wide latitude but keep you consistent.
Pragmatism and incremental victories should be embraced when they pass this ti lter. Having a seat at the
table on victories that leave in place a failing system and policy scheme (like the Nekritz-Biss pension bill or
last year's Medicaid bill) should be left to the Democrats to own. When those policies then fai l, you place the
blame where it belongs. If they succeed, you rightfully assert that you made them better by your opposition
(if that is true).
If their ideas pass and things get better as a result, then we should do an honest reassessment. After all , we
think they are wrong - let them prove it - but for God's sake don't give them bipartisan cover when we know
they are wrong.
Strategic imperative 3: Go big and bold. No one is interested in small ball, and small ball does not build a movement.
Only a movement for reform and revital ization can build the political and policy capacity to make you competitive on
a sustained basis politically.
Conclusion
The only way this strategy can be implemented is by bold leadership from the rank and file from within the caucuses.
This strategy is an approach that can break the death spiral of decline of the GOP in the Illinois General Assembly.

There is an exception to Tennyson's truism: politicians.
Tis better to have never loved a politician and lost perspective on their rightful role as a
vessel for policy choices.
Politicians are properly seen as the means to the ends of those they were elected to

Take the case of Rhode Island State Treasurer Gina Raimondo.
After her election in 2010, Raimondo, a Democrat, became a cause celebre of the center
right for spearheading a measure that reduced the expected rate of return for public sector
pensions from 8.25% to 7.5%.
A slightly less unrealistic expected rate of return was the occasion for serious pension
reformers to canonize Raimondo as the Joan of Arc of pension reform. courageously
willing to be burned at the stake by public sector unions for putting a pension fix above
partisan politics.
In Rhode Island as in Illinois the marginal is touted as transformational.
But then Raimondo decided to run for governor. Did I mention she is a Democrat?
It turns out that Raimondo is not above partisan politics after all. As the Wall Street
Journal reported in February, Raimondo divested state pension funds from Thi rd Point
LLC, a hedge fund whose investments yielded a 25% return last year making it Rhode
Island's top performer.
Third Poi nt is run by Daniel Loeb, a school reform advocate who serves as a trustee to
the libertarian Manhattan Institute and is a major donor to charter schools. This means
Loeb is on the enemies list of the teachers' unions including that of Randi Weingarten, the
President of the American Federation of Teachers.
Weingarten lit a fire under Raimondo and Raimondo, it turned out, would rather sacrifice
Loeb and state pension funds on the pyre of Democrat orthodoxy than see her political
career go up in smoke.
Raimondo' s dec ision was the logical inevitability of the reality of our polit ical culture.
In his book, "Ordering Love," Catholi c University professor David Schindler explai ned, "If
one thinks one can make claims about this or that aspect of reality without somehow
implying metaphysical claims about the nature or logi c of reality as a whole, the result will
be, not that one successfully avoids such claims, but only that one is now being controlled
by presuppositions of which one remains unaware."
Applying this to Raimondo, if she thought she could reform the Rhode Island public pension
system without somehow destroying the political power that keeps her afloat- Le. the
support of or lack of opposition from the public sector unions--the result is two-fold: (1) she
will be unsuccessful; and, (2) she will either remain naively unaware of or cynically
capitulate to the reali ty that she only got away with staging the initial fight because it was
in the interests of enough Rhode Island Democrats to let her play that part for a time.
The lesson for genuine center right reformers who so desperately wanted Raimondo to be
a poster child for the reasonable Democrat is to resist the temptation to make politicians
Rorschach ink blots for what we hope they will be rather than seeing them for what they
I: Loving Politicians is a Losing Proposition: The Case of Gina Ra ...
are and what they are constrained to be.
When we fail to make this distinction we never fail to be disappointed and embarrassed.

This article is a/so available at 11/inoisOpporlunity. orq.
The Illinois model of governance is doing a real number on education and job creation.
Well, two numbers actually: 50 and 66.
50th is the place Moody' s projects Illinois will finish nationally i n job creation in the Year of
Our Lord (House Speaker Mike Madigan) 2014.
66 is the percentage of Illinois 4th graders who do not read at 4th grade level, according to
the 2013 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) tests. 61 % of 4th graders
cannot do 4th grade level math either, according to those same NAEP tests.
j: The Death of Work and Education in Illinois
Combine those two numbers with the fact that only New Jersey exports more of its
college-bound high school seniors than Illinois and one begins to get a sense of both the
magnitude of the brain drain and the reason for it.
As to the matter of jobs, the depressing Moody' s report follows the disappointing
December jobs report nationally. Remember we exported the Illinois governance model to
Washington, DC, in 2008. These tragic numbers reflects the problematic and persistent
duality of people who are looking for work but are unable to find full-time errployment and
an increasing number of people who have stopped looking for work.
The costs imposed by this double whammy that concern me are not the relatively ninor
dollars associated with extending unemployment and other social welfare benefits. The
real cost is the Illinoisans who have lost a sense of self-worth, purpose, and place in
society as their potential goes unrealized.
Your job is not who you are but it represents an important part of what you do. Character
is forged through work. In "Ideas Have Consequences," University of Chicago English
Professor Richard Weaver wrote of the "prayer of labor" observing, "Pride in
craftsmanship is well-explained by saying that to labor is to pray, for conscientious effort
to realize an ideal is a kind of fidelity." By contrast, Weaver warned, "No society is
healthful which tells its members to take no thought of the morrow because the state
underwrites their future."
Everyone who is able should engage in the "prayer of labor" not solely to "make a living"
and to be self-sufficient but because not doing so is spirit-stultifying.
We hear much talk of the importance of equality from Governor Pat Quinn, who has been
playing the poli tics of resentment and class envy in Illinois since the bygone days Barack
Obama spent toking up with his Hawaiian Choom Gang to "Don't Fear the Reaper."
As to education, if equality is the order of the day, what of equality of educational
opportunity for children left to rot in school systems that do not educate and have not
educated children for successive generations?
How much longer shall we rationalize systems that discriminate and thus foreclose
opportunities based on zip code and household income? Per the NAEP test results, the
industrial organization of K-12 education is clearly not producing defensible results. And
remember, spending on K-12 education in Illinois has increased three-fold in the past two
decades (in real terms).
It turns out that central planning works no better with job creation or education than it does
with health care.
:i: The Death of Work and Education in Illinois
Worse yet is the permanence of the failure central planning imposes on its victi ms
because the after-market prescriptions are simply no remedy for its ravages.
You cannot raise the minirrum wage high enough, extend transfer payments long enough,
or create social welfare schemes expansive enough to retrofit adults with the critical
thinking competency and marketable job skills they should have acquired as children.
Properly understood then, grade school test scores and unemployment rates do not
represent a struggle over statistics but rather they quantify the chances of civil society's
survival.

Madigan's latest move is a blatant
viotanon of the promse made to l lino1s
taxpayers.
Like bait and switch on F<1cebook share on Twitter
Speaker Mike Madigan issued a statement today calling for more tax hikes in Illinois. The
most important line of his statement was this: "individual income up to $1 million would
continue to be taxed at the current personal rate."
Madigan is counting on the public to view his proposal as a "tax on the rich." But his
proposal is not just a tax increase on the rich - it's a tax increase on every single
Illinois household.
Under current law, Illinoisans will finally see tax relief in 2015 when the state income tax
rate is slated to drop to 3.75% from today's rate of 5%. Madigan is proposing that
lawmakers break their promise to provide tax relief, and is hoping taxpayers are too blinded
by his class warfare political play to notice.
The truth of the matter is this: In 2011 , Madigan and the Democrats in Springfield raised
taxes, promised the tax increase would be temporary, and that it would help pay off an $8
billi on backlog of unpaid bills, get Illi noi s back on sound fiscal footing and make sure the
state has a strong economy. According to our latest reoort, by the t ime the tax increase
sunsets in January 2015 it will have generated more than $31 billion in additional tax
revenue. Yet Madigan and Springfield politicians are still crying poor. And worst of all,
Illi nois still has a $7 billion backlog of bills, the worst credit rating in the nation and the
hi ghest unemployment rate in the Midwest.
It is wrong to ask the hardworking families of Illinois to continue baili ng out Springfield's
wasteful spending and continued mismanagement.
Madigan's latest move is a blatant violation of the promise made to Illinois taxpayers.

out for us before the legislative session ends on May 31st.
We're not going to stop until we can successfully hold Illinois politicians accountable for
their broken promises to taxpayers. It's alarming that politicians are willing to hike taxes on
hardworking families again. We're working day and night to stop that from happening.

The Senate sponsor of the progressive tax hike has admitted defeat.
State Sen. Don Harmon, D-Oak Park, released a statement conceding the success
of our efforts to block a constitutional amendment that could have jettisoned Illinois'
fair, flat tax in favor of a tax increase on families with taxable income over $22,000.
We did it. You did it.
Here's how:
We first became aware in 2009 of the plans to change the Illinois Constitution to
allow for a progressive income tax hike. Our Executive Vice President, Kristina
Rasmussen, wrote an op-ed in the Chicago Tribune about this in 2010. In public
and private, we warned allies and did our research on the policy. We set about
building the organizational infrastructure that allowed us to have a strong and
respected presence in Springfield. And when the chatter got louder, we were ready to
fight - even as a union front group began trucking in professional, out-of-state
activists. We got the entire Republican caucus to oppose the progressive tax hike
during last year's General Assembly - and it wasn't as easy as you might hope.
With the Republicans united and on record, we launched Illinois Policy Action, a
501 (c)(4) advocacy organization, late last year. Knowing that the House was where
the fight would be, we targeted the Democrat legislators we knew were most
receptive or most politically vulnerable. And here's what we spent the past few
months accomplishing:
50,000 visits to unfairillinois.com
750,000 online views of seven different videos on Hulu and YouTube
23 million impressions of online display ads in our target districts
116,717 specialized mail pieces in targeted districts
Generated more than 2,850 phone calls from constituents to legislators
Two different TV commercials aired 2,320 times in targeted districts and were
over
4
seen by 285,241 people
Four different radio commercials
11 ,500 petition signatures collected in person and online
More than 3,000 doors knocked on in targeted districts
The result is a victory for every Illinoisan. I would go so far as to call it historic.
When was the last time you witnessed a victory like this? When was the last
time taxpayers stood up to the union bosses and the politicians and won?
I believe this represents the first rays of light in a new day for Illinois. This day will be
better than the last, but it won't be utopia. In this new day, the capabilities in Wiich you
have invested and the ideas we're promoting 'Nill allow us to compete for voters'
mindshare. We' ll have a fighting chance. But if you think we can take it easy ... well
... you' re mistaken.
Now we turn our attention to fighting the effort to extend and make permanent t he
2011 temporary income tax hike. Unlike the progressive tax hike, this one needs only
a simple majority in both houses. We can 'Nin - we just proved it! But we need you to
keep fighting 'Nith us.
over
Go - right now- and make a non-tax deductible gift to help fuel the Illinois
Promise campaign aimed at making politicians keep their promise to allow the
temporary income tax hike to sunset in 2015.
Together, we've come this far. There's a lot further to go. Enjoy the moment. Then go

Illi nois Policy Action
The Illinois General Assembly adjourned on Friday, and that serves as an important
milestone for measuring how well we delivered on our mission to turn liberty principles into
marketable policies that become law.
The Illinois Policy Institute, along with its partners at Illinois Policy Action, worked tirelessly
to earn many important victories on your behalf in the past six months.
I'm honored to share 1 O of those successes in our annual "end of session" review.
1. Def eating three - yes, three - tax hikes.
Democrats in Illinois occupy the governor's mansion and both legislative chambers. If
there ever was a year in which they could pass whatever tax increases they wanted, this
was the year. And they had a three-step plan: make the 2011 tax increase permanent,
raise taxes above and beyond the 2011 tax increase by implementing a progressive tax,
and then raise taxes even higher by enacting a "millionaire tax.
01
But we stopped all three tax hikes in their tracks.

How? By crafting and executing the most extensive holistic marketing campaign this state
has seen. We:
Had more than 500 meetings with lawmakers warni ng them about the dangers of the
tax increases.
Facili tated more than 5,000 phone calls from constituents to legislators and
collected more than 17,000 petition signatures.
Went door to door, talking to citizens and asking them to join our effort.
Launched online videos that garnered more than 750,000 views on Hulu and
You Tube.
Generated more than 23 million impressions of display ads warning against the tax
increases in our targeted districts.
Sent more than 116,000 postcards to taxpayers about the tax increase, which in
turn prompted thousands of calls to lawmaker offices.
Persuaded key editorial boards to take positions against the tax increases, which in
turn put more pressure on lawmakers to vote against more tax hikes.
Our victory means that over the next five years alone, taxpayers and business owners will
keep more than $30 billion of their own money. Every single family in Illinois gets a tax cut
next year. Every single family in Illinois is spared the progressive tax. And small business
owners are spared the "milli onaire tax" that would have made it even harder for their doors
to stay open in Illinois.

For decades, the political class ran this state and they planned to run right over taxpayers
again this spring. But this time, we mobilized taxpayers and the taxpayers won.

taxpayers, by donating to the Keep Your Promise initiative.
2. Championing genuine local pension reform.
Following the passage of an inadequate Chicago pension reform plan that is predicated on
property tax hikes, Illinois Policy Action launched a holistic marketing campaign urging Gov.
Pat Quinn to veto the bil l.
We mobilized Chicago residents - private-sector workers and government employees,
Democrats and Republicans - to speak out. Hundreds of Chicagoans have been
connected with the governor' s office by phone and email, and more than 30,000 people

have watched our hard-hitting videos at chicagotaxhike.com.
Our authority on this issue comes from our groundbreaking research that led to the
creation of a sound, actuarially reviewed pension solution for Chicago. We've briefed
aldermen on our ideas and held focus groups with police officers. Acceptance of our
approach is growing.
Our Chicago initiative underscores our broader local pension reform efforts. In March, the
Institute Policy Institute released an expansive report on pension conditions in Ill inois' 114
largest cities - and how skyrocketing pension costs are hurting the quality of life in our
We launched the paper in the lion's den of the status quo - the Springfield City Council
chambers. When they tried to dismiss not only the problem. but also the solution, we
barraged the Springfield community with our message until it penetrated. Our outreach
helped trigger acceptance of the need for local pension reform. Mayors across the state -
including Springfield's mayor - are calling for change.
Are you thankful someone is fighting day-in and day-out for genuine pension reform?
Keep Ted Dabrowski, our pension guru, on the offensive by making a gift today.
3. Introducing a Liberty Agenda.
The government affairs team at Illinois Policy Action crafted the only comprehensive
agenda for economic freedom in Illinois. Made up of 24 bills that earned bipartisan support,
the Liberty Agenda provided the conseNative movement with a solid foundation on which
to build future successes.
6/3/2014 2:14 PM

Our government affairs team met personally with 168 out of 177 state legislators this
spring in Springfield - that's a penetration rate of 95 percent! We registered an opinion on
more bills than any other organization because our policy scope is far more extensive than
any other player in Springfield.
This matters because we speak for those who don't have time to come to Springfield and
impact the legislative process. Our direct pressure kept Republicans united in their
opposition to bad bills and encouraged moderate Democrats to do the right thing, thereby
killing initiatives that would have further hurt Illinois' chances for an economic turnaround.
Finally, the addition of the grassroots-oriented Illinois
Policy Action Network has proven to be a vital component
to our lobbying efforts.
This addition also helped our lobbyi ng efforts, which
became clear when 1,000 petition signatures were
delivered to a state representative in her Springfield
office. Her first assumption was that the thousand names
we presented had been collected statewide. She sat up in
her seat when she was told, "no, those were collected in
your district."
By reaching a legislator' s neighbors, donors, friends and
fellow community members, we have been able to make
pressure both personal and immediate.

Statehouse, by donating to Illinois Policy Action.
4. Fighting ObamaCare.

The Illinois Policy Institute released a briefing paper illustrating how ObamaCare is
affecting work hours for low-wage workers in 14 states across the country, including
Illinois. This work was quoted on the U.S. House of Representatives floor by Rep. Aaron
Schock, featured in a Forbes.com commentary, seNed as the basis for additional work by
other national think tanks and was included in a briefi ng to a neighboring Midwest governor.
This research on how ObamaCare is impacting low-wage workers in Illinois and across the
country is being used to support repeal of the ObamaCare employer mandate, which was
once again delayed this year.
We also crafted and testified on legislation that calls on lawmakers who support further
expansion of ObamaCare in Illinois to voluntarily forgo their taxpayer-sponsored health
benefits and enter the individual exchange. The measure highlights the hypocrisy of those
who are complicit in pushing ObamaCare on Illinois residents yet are unwilling to live under
it themselves. This work will form the basis of an intense marketing campaign during the
summer months.
Say thanks to Naomi Lopez Bauman, our health policy director, by making a gift to the
Illinois Policy Institute today.
5. Defending school choice and the kids it helps.
Thanks to the pushback from Illinois Policy Action and its alli es, an anti-charter school
assault was largely stemmed this session. Bills that would have destroyed the charter-
school movement as we know it were ei ther killed or greatly reduced in scope and severity.
As a result, Illinois chi ldren will continue to have options for getting the high-quality
education they deseNe.

Working together with parents and students in the state's lowest-performing school
districts, the Illinois Policy Institute is building the infrastructure and support needed to
successfully pass a school-choice bill in 2015.
Looking ahead to next year, we drafted the state's first course-choice legislation, which
would establish an online marketplace through which students from rural Illinois schools
can take classes that are not offered at their school. The bill received the support of all of
the major education reform organizations in Illinois.
Say thanks to Josh Dwyer, our director of education reform, by becoming a member of
the Illinois Policy Institute.
6. Shining a light on government.
Key components of our 10-Point Transparency Checklist have passed both the Illi nois
House and Senate. Counties, for example, will need to post their Comprehensive Annual
Financial Reports and management letters online to help citizens understand how their tax
dollars are spent.
6/3/2014 2:14 PM

Another component of the 10-Point Transparency Checkli st, which requires local
governments with a website to post an elected-official electronic communication method
onli ne, also passed.
We' ve been pushing for local government transparency for many years, and i n 2014 we
built even more momentum by gathering a significant left-right coalition for a Statehouse
press conference endorsing our comprehensive approach. This is key to building support
for final passage.
Keep Brian Costin, our director of government reform, going on his quest to make every
entity of Illinois government transparent by supporting his work with a contribution.
7. Telling powerful stories.
Our storytelling video initiative cuts through the wonk and rhetoric, and shows how good
and bad policies alike affect Illinoisans.

It was no secret that a progressive tax would have hurt all Illinoisans. But our video work
told the stories of three Illinois smal l business owners, and their fears for the future if a
progressive tax had been enacted. These voices made real the fact that this tax hike
would have punished job creators, forced businesses to shut their doors or move out of
the state, and punished success.
Our storytelling also showed viewers the negative effect of Illinois' deplorable school
choice shortcomings, as well as the damaging effects of proposed regulations on
Chicago' s horse-drawn carriage industry.

8. Uncovering waste, fraud and abuse.
The Illinois News Network filed dozens of watchdog stories, ranging from state planes
being used to import Prairie Chickens to the forced unionization of home-care workers.
The news service highlighted how lawmakers voted on a thousand-page, $20 billion
spending bill havi ng had onl y minutes to review it, and uncovered how the state gave more
than $42 milli on in tax breaks to poli tically connected individuals in the movie industry.
6/3/2014 2:14 PM

Through its reporting, Illinois News Network changed the debate in Springfield by reporting
on topics such as how a child's cupcake businesses was shut down by bureaucrats, and
how a school-supply store was unfairly audited and went out of business. In both of these
cases, lawmakers and the press cited Illinois News Network' s reporting and called for
reforming how the state does business.
Illinois News Network also covered the story of how select corporations received hundreds
of millions of dollars in tax breaks during Gov. Pat Quinn' s tenure. The governor's
office responded by contacting newspapers throughout the state, asking them to stop
using Illinois News Network' s work. None succumbed to the pressure.

Network.
9. Fighting for ridesharing freedom.
The taxi lobby has fought hard to shut down innovative ridesharing services such as UberX
and Lyft, and we've fought back. When Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel proposed an
ordinance to regulate ridesharing, the liberty Justice Center got to work. Our blog post
detailing how the ordinance was loaded with harmful, anticompetitive provisions went viral,

receiving more than 50,000 views in less than a week. It drove thousands of emails into
the inboxes of Chicago aldermen, causing what one chief of staff described as a
"technological problem. " When the fight shifted to Springfield, we were able to mobilize
these same users, along with our government affairs team. The result: all of the provisions
we identified were stripped from the final bill, and ridesharing services will continue to
provide jobs and transportation in Chicago.

Liberty Justice Center.
10. Award-winning writing and unmatched digital outreach.
In 2014, the Illinois Poli cy Institute received its first Peter
Lisagor award from the Chicago Headline Club. This is the
benchmark for journalistic excellence in Chicago, and puts the
lnstitute's staff on the map not only as policy experts, but also
as excellent writers and storytellers.
Our digital outreach focus in 2014 has been engagement at
scale. And we have seen success in the first half of the year
converting our community, which now totals more than
250,000 Illinoisans, into tens of thousands of activists. We've
also shattered previous digital records, and now average
more than 100,000 hits per month on illinoispolicy.org.
