Bennett invites small business owners to a tax credit workshop
CHAMPAIGN – State Senator Scott Bennett (D-Champaign) is partnering with the Illinois Department of Revenue (IDOR) and the Champaign County Chamber of Commerce to host a free workshop about the Minimum Wage Tax Credit on Tuesday, Feb. 11 at 2 p.m. at the Champaign County Chamber of Commerce (303 W. Kirby Ave., Champaign).
On Jan. 1, the first phase of minimum wage increases took effect, raising the wage from $8.25 an hour to $9.25 an hour. Under the new law, small businesses are eligible for a tax credit, giving them a maximum credit of 25% of the difference between the new minimum wage and what each employee was paid previously.
"We need to keep small businesses competitive during this transition period," Bennett said. "This informative workshop will help connect small business owners with updated information on the Minimum Wage Tax Credit to help offset the state's minimum wage rate and ease their transition."
Businesses and nonprofits with 50 full-time equivalent employees or less are eligible for the credit and can begin to claim on their quarterly Illinois Withholding Income Tax Returns.
Nick Austin of the IDOR will present at the workshop and provide assistance. Bennett urges small businesses to take advantage of this tax credit and participate in the February workshop.
For more information or to RSVP, please contact Senator Bennett's office at 217-355-5252 or SenatorBennett.com, or visit IDOR's website tax.illinois.gov.
Lightford reminds businesses of minimum wage tax credit
SPRINGFIELD – Senate Majority Leader Kimberly A. Lightford (D-Maywood) reminds small businesses to take advantage of the minimum wage credit starting this year. The new tax credit is intended to help small businesses over the next six years as a part of the state's minimum wage increase plan.
"Keeping small businesses competitive is a priority when increasing the minimum wage," Lightford said. "I encourage businesses to take full advantage of this tax credit to ease their transition."
Businesses and nonprofits with 50 full-time employees or less are eligible to offset a portion of the minimum wage increase cost from their withholding income taxes. Eligible businesses can claim this credit by filing Form IL-941, Illinois withholding income tax return, and a new schedule.
Lightford minimum wage increase signed into law
House approves minimum wage increase cosponsored by Sandoval
SPRINGFIELD – Legislation cosponsored by State Senator Martin A. Sandoval (D-Chicago) to increase the state's minimum wage to $15 an hour passed the Illinois House of Representatives, marking a major win in the fight to ensure Illinois workers are guaranteed a fair wage.
"As legislators, we are committed to guaranteeing a living wage and protecting the dignity of workers," Sandoval said. "I'm glad to see that the House followed our lead in approving this historic legislation recognizing the benefits this bill will bring to working class families in Illinois."
Senate Bill 1 would gradually increase the minimum wage in Illinois to $15 an hour by 2025. The step-by-step rollout of the increase is designed to allow businesses to adjust to the law and adapt accordingly. The first increase will take effect on Jan. 1, 2020 and set the minimum wage at $9.25.
Illinois' minimum wage has been $8.25 an hour since 2010.
Senate Bill 1 now awaits the governor's signature.
Villivalam commends House approval of minimum wage increase
SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois House today approved a measure that will gradually increase the minimum wage in Illinois to $15 an hour.
"I'm thankful that the House followed the Senate's lead in moving this vital legislation forward," said Villivalam (D-Chicago). "This legislation will provide working people with a sense of dignity, fairness, and stability in everyday life. Furthermore, it will allow working families to spend money on things they need, which results in a boost to our local economies."
This legislation is the result of the hard work and collaboration of a wide range of stakeholders. It includes tax credits for small businesses while putting 1.4 million workers on a path to a living wage. Labor organizations and business groups, such the Illinois Restaurant Association, are in support.
Senate Bill 1 will be phased in over six years to provide businesses time to adapt to a new minimum wage in Illinois.
SB 1 will raise the minimum wage to:
$9.25 per hour from Jan. 1, 2020, to June 30, 2020
$10 per hour from July 1, 2020, to Dec. 31, 2020
$11 per hour from Jan. 1, 2021, to Dec. 31, 2021
$15 per hour on and after Jan. 1, 2025
The bill now goes to the governor's desk to be signed.
Lightford: Illinois workers are one step closer to a raise as House approves minimum wage increase
SPRINGFIELD – Minimum-wage earners statewide could soon see a pay increase under a proposal approved by the House on Thursday that raises the minimum wage to $15 by January 2025. Majority Leader Kimberly A. Lightford (D-Maywood) negotiated the measure that would give hardworking families a much-needed raise.
"We're one step closer to bringing stability to a population that was neglected during the previous administration," Lightford said. "As basic needs become increasingly more expensive, we have a responsibility to ensure working people are being compensated for being the force that keeps business moving."
Senate Democrats advance $15 minimum wage plan
Senate Democrats voted to raise wages for more than 1 million working Illinois families today by voting to raise the state's minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2025.
If passed by the House and signed by Governor JB Pritzker, it would represent the first minimum wage increase in Illinois in a decade.
"The people who keep businesses going deserve a salary that allows them to take care of their financial responsibilities, whether that is taking care of a family, paying off student loans or simply covering their basic needs," sponsor Majority Leader Kimberly A. Lightford said.
Under the proposal, the state's minimum hourly wage of $8.25 would increase incrementally to $15 per hour between now and 2025. The legislation, Senate Bill 1, also offsets the wage increase by providing a tax refund for businesses that employ fewer than 50 workers.
There is ample public support for a minimum wage increase in Illinois. In 2014, voters were asked if they support an increase; 67 percent of them supported the non-binding question. Voter support was again overwhelming in 2018 for a similar referendum.
The Senate approved the measure today in a 39-18 vote. The House must take it up before the legislation can go to the governor's desk for approval.
Senator Democrats reacted to today's vote with the following statements:
Senator Christopher Belt (D-Cahokia):
"Raising the minimum wage to $15 will help our workers better support our economy. We cannot expect workers or individuals who have to pay back student loans to be able to afford the cost of living when they only make $8.25."
Senator Scott Bennett (D-Champaign):
"Since the day I was sworn in to the Senate, I have pledged to do all I can to help make lives easier for families across Champaign and Vermilion Counties. By increasing the minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2025 for the majority of workers, we are achieving the goal of lifting working families up to improve their quality of life.
"Workers with full-time jobs should never be forced to live in poverty. Minimum wage workers are employed in many of the service jobs that are vital to the care of the most vulnerable and in jobs that serve the public. They deserve a fair wage that respects the work they do in service to others.
"Putting the minimum wage on a clear and responsible path toward $15 an hour will provide Illinois' hardest workers with dignity, fairness and stability."
Senator Melinda Bush (D-Grayslake):
"The minimum wage should be a living wage. Any individual who works full time should be able to provide for their family without having to rely on government assistance. This move is long overdue. Raising the minimum wage will lift up Illinois families and provide stability for Illinois workers."
Senator Cristina Castro (D-Elgin):
"In the past, individuals could work 40 hours a week on the minimum wage and meet their financial responsibilities. Now, that kind of income barely covers basic needs, especially those who provide for an entire family. The gradual increase will allow for businesses to adapt to the new law. We're committed to making sure local economies adapt to a new wage structure that will ultimately save money for all taxpayers, as fewer working families have to rely on government services to survive."
Senator Jacqueline Collins (D-Chicago):
"A working family should not need to be on food stamps in order to survive. Economists argue that by the measure of Americans' productivity – their output and real accomplishments while at work – the minimum wage should now be more than $19 per hour. To afford the average rent on a two-bedroom apartment in Illinois requires a wage of nearly $21 per hour. This is just a step toward achieving sustainability for Illinois families that doesn't come at the expense of taxpayers."
Senator Tom Cullerton (D-Villa Park):
"For far too long nearly 38,000 of our military veterans in Illinois who make the minimum wage were unable to keep a roof over their family's head and food on the table without government assistance. Implementing a fair wage will allow these hardworking heroes to live a life full of dignity, fairness and stability."
Senator Bill Cunningham (D-18th District):
"Working mothers and fathers in Illinois should not be forced to work multiple jobs just to provide the bare minimum their families need to get by. A living wage is not a privilege, but a basic human right and we must ensure every Illinois worker has access to this right.
"This legislation will help bring stability to families who are struggling to make ends meet. Illinois workers have long deserved a raise and I am proud to support the measure that will bring it to them."
Senator Laura Fine (D-Glenview):
"Wages have been stagnant for nearly a decade, but the cost of living certainly has not, and minimum wage workers have struggled to keep up. This has been going on for far too long, and I'm proud to have helped the Senate pass this important legislation that will help so many people throughout the state."
Senator Ann Gillespie (D-Arlington Heights):
"I believe Springfield should work for working families, and we can start by investing in people who work the hardest but earn the least. A significant increase in the minimum wage is long overdue in Illinois, and I am pleased to support this effort on behalf of working people.
"I am proud to have represented the will of voters today by supporting this important bill."
Assistant Majority Leader Don Harmon (D-Oak Park):
"Working wages have not kept up with inflation over the past several decades. The 'American dream' of being able to provide for a family by working 40 hours a week is not a reality with the current minimum wage.
"I am proud that Illinois is now a leader in ensuring the hard-working families in our state earn a living wage."
Senator Napoleon Harris (D-Harvey):
"The minimum wage has remained stagnant for the past decade. Meanwhile, the cost of basic necessities has continued to increase. I'm glad we were able to move a step closer to helping working families meet their needs."
Senator Michael E. Hastings (D-Tinley Park):
"The passage of this historic measure is long overdue. Over the past decade, workers have not seen a change in the minimum wage, but they have seen an increase in the cost of living.
"My district voted in 2014 to increase the minimum wage and I heard them. I also heard those that work in industries like home health care and those with developmental disabilities. They have tough jobs and deserve to get paid a fair working wage. But it is important to take into consideration how employers and businesses implement the wage increase."
Senator Mattie Hunter (D-Chicago):
"We have talked long enough about putting Illinois on a responsible path to $15 minimum wage and today is the first step along that path. This will allow millions of workers in our state to provide for themselves and their families.
"We're giving working families the raise and providing the stability they deserve. This puts us on the right trajectory to helping people in our state move their lives forward."
Senator Toi Hutchinson (D-Chicago Heights):
"Every Senator in this body represents constituents in our districts who wake up every morning when it is still dark outside and go to work. They work all day and string together hourly jobs just to make ends meet. Then they get up and do it all over again. They don't have a lobbyist to fight for their behalf – they only have us.
"Today is our day to lift up millions of working Illinoisans who despite their hard work, still live every day in poverty."
Senator Emil Jones III (D-Chicago):
"Increasing the minimum wage is something we have been waiting to do for years. Personally, I've been eager to see the minimum wage increase again since coming to the Senate in 2009.
"Lawmakers voted to increase the minimum wage a couple of years ago, but Gov. Rauner vetoed the plan, hindering people from getting a more suitable living wage faster. This time around I believe workers will finally get the wages they deserve."
Assistant Majority Leader Terry Link (D-Indian Creek):
"Working families haven't seen a raise in Illinois since 2010, while costs for housing, child care and food have only continued to increase. The compromise plan I supported today gradually increases wages while providing a key tax refund for small businesses. For thousands of Illinois families struggling to get by, this increase will provide more security and stability in their everyday lives."
Assistant Majority Leader Iris Y. Martinez (D-Chicago):
"This raise for the hard-working people of our state is long overdue. It is unacceptable for someone who works full-time to struggle to pay for food and housing costs. I am glad we finally took a step towards making sure our working families receive a living wage."
Senator Pat McGuire (D-Crest Hill):
"Fair pay for hard work is the American way. A higher minimum wage will boost families and the Illinois economy."
Senator John Mulroe (D-Chicago):
"Taxpayers are supplementing low wages with public money in the form of food stamps, Medicaid and housing assistance, all at the expense of the dignity of people who work 40 hours a week and still need such help. A full-time job deserves a living wage. These incremental increases to the minimum wage bring us closer to sustainability for workers while giving businesses time to adjust to the new levels."
Assistant Majority Leader Tony Munoz (D-Chicago):
"Working people deserve this raise. They have been hit by increasing housing costs, rising costs for college and other basic necessities. Today, we voted for working families who despite working full time still struggle to make ends meet."
Senator Robert Peters (D-Chicago):
"Wages have remained unchanged for years despite worker productivity being at an all-time high. It has been too long since the working class people of our state have received just compensation for the labor they provide. I'd like to thank Senate Majority Leader Kimberly Lightford for her years of hard work on this extremely important issue, and I'm honored to have voted for the bill that finally let her achieve her goal.
"This would never have been possible without the efforts of great organizations like the Fight for Fifteen movement. I want to personally thank them for their diligent work in organization and outreach that helped to finally deliver the relief that struggling working class families have desperately needed for the past 30 or 40 years."
Senator Martin A. Sandoval (D-Chicago):
"The opportunity to earn a fair wage and provide for your family is a right, not a privilege. This wage increase will provide stability to struggling families in Illinois and help them lift themselves out of poverty.
"The men and women of Illinois who work tirelessly to provide for their families are long overdue for a pay increase. It's absurd that in spite of the rising cost of living, this is the first time we have increased the minimum wage in almost a decade. As members of the General Assembly, it is our duty to protect the dignity and rights of our workers."
Senator Elgie R. Sims, Jr. (D-Chicago):
"Raising the minimum wage throughout the state is crucial to help struggling, working families in Illinois. This effort was unfortunately blocked by the past administration, but the time is now to provide Illinoisans across our state with a fair wage and provide them the stability they deserve.
"I was proud to stand with my colleagues to pass this historic legislation and help improve the lives of hard-working individuals throughout the state. I know this plan will help working families by bridging the pay gap for seniors, women and minorities across our state."
Senator Heather Steans (D-Chicago):
"Raising the minimum wage in Illinois is a long overdue step that will help restore dignity to working families who are currently struggling to make ends meet, as wages are failing to keep up with the cost of living.
"Additionally, the current, insufficient minimum wage disproportionately impacts groups like women, minorities and senior citizens. Raising the minimum wage is an important component in closing the wage gap."
Senator Patricia Van Pelt (D-Chicago):
"After years of stagnant wages, it's time for hardworking Illinoisans to finally get a raise. Raising the minimum wage will help lift families out of poverty and it will have the biggest impact on black, Latino and female workers. I'm proud to support this important effort to help reduce poverty and get us one step closer to closing the income inequality gap."
Lightford continues the fight for $15
Gillespie: Pritzker correct to make wages a top priority
SPRINGFIELD – Barring state agencies from asking prospective employees about their salary histories is a good move by Illinois' new governor on his first day in office, State Senator Ann Gillespie said today.
"Gov. Pritzker seems to be off to a good start. Moving swiftly to eliminate gender bias in the state's hiring process is long overdue," Gillespie (D-Arlington Heights) said, reacting to the governor signing a series of executive orders and legislation this afternoon.
"I am eager to see how he will work with lawmakers to establish a much-needed $15 livable minimum wage in Illinois. I look forward to working with my colleagues in the General Assembly and with the governor to push this important issue forward."
Lightford: Rauner denies workers a living wage
SPRINGFIELD — Assistant Majority Leader Kimberly A. Lightford (D-Maywood) released the following statement after Governor Bruce Rauner vetoed legislation that would have increased the statewide minimum to $15 per hour by January 2022.
"Governor Rauner's veto doubles down on his stance against some of our most vulnerable communities. Throughout his term he has irresponsibly cut the child care assistance program, held up grant money for low-income college students and caused severe damage to our social services through a historic budget stalemate.
"There is no reason why a single parent working full-time should qualify for food stamps and Medicaid. Our workers deserve financial independence and the empowerment that comes from being able to provide for a family.
"Our fight does not end here. I will continue to stand for hardworking people struggling to make ends meet as I have done my entire career because I know the difference a living wage can make in a person's life, in our communities and in our entire state."
Biss calls on governor to pass minimum wage increase
Joining the chorus of workers and Illinoisans who voted overwhelmingly in favor of an increase to the minimum wage, State Senator Daniel Biss called on Gov. Bruce Rauner to sign legislation the Illinois Senate passed that would increase the hourly wage to $15.
"The rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer, and the middle class is starting to fade away," Biss said at a press conference in Chicago this week. "Raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour will help that a lot, but it goes beyond that. The state spends $5 billion subsidizing corporations that aren't willing to pay their workers a living wage. We can't afford that. Corporations need to pull their weight."
Biss was joined by Adriana Alvarez, a worker at McDonald's and a single mother.
"I'm urging Governor Rauner to do the right thing and sign the bill," Alvarez said. "For me personally, a single mom with a five-year-old, it would mean I would be able to afford everything he needs."
(Spanish version available HERE)
Biss is the chief co-sponsor of Senate Bill 81. The legislation would incrementally increase the minimum wage to $15 per hour by Jan. 1, 2022, starting with an increase to $9 per hour starting Jan. 1, 2018. It awaits the governor's signature to become law.
Lightford: Give Illinois workers the raise they have been waiting for
SPRINGFIELD — Minimum-wage earners statewide could soon see a pay increase as a result of legislation that raises the minimum wage to $15 by January 2022. Assistant Majority Leader Kimberly A. Lightford spearheaded efforts that would give hardworking families a much-needed raise.
"People working full time should earn a living wage," said Lightford, a Maywood Democrat "We want our workers to be able to support their families, have financial independence and be able to contribute to the state's economy."
House approves minimum wage increase to $15, Senate ready to vote
Today the Illinois House approved Senate Bill 81 which increases the minimum wage in Illinois. The measure was initiated in the Senate and increases the minimum wage over five years to $15 per hour by January 1, 2022.
Senate President John J. Cullerton statement on House approval of a minimum wage increase:
"The Senate has been waiting a long time for this. I hope that my assurances that this will get a vote in the Senate helped give the House members the courage to do the right thing. The Senate is ready to take this up if the House can get the paperwork over to us."
Aquino: $15 an hour good for the economy
SPRINGFIELD – State Sen. Omar Aquino, a Democrat from Chicago, spoke in favor of raising the minimum wage to $15 statewide. Aquino spoke at a rally in the capitol building, along with workers, activists and fellow legislators.
"If we really want to help local businesses and stimulate the economy, we need to raise the minimum wage," Aquino said. "If workers are paid at least $15 an hour, they'll have more money to spend on goods and services in their communities. That money will go straight back into the economy. Raising the minimum wage is not just the right thing to do. It will inject money where it is needed."
The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) is supporting a nationwide effort to raise the minimum wage, focusing on organizing workers in the service industry. While organizers support different wages depending on jurisdiction, they have consistently fought for a $15 minimum wage in Illinois.
Hastings moves to override the governor
SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois Senate has reconvened for their fall session to consider legislation that the governor either outright vetoed or amended. One piece of legislation would give home health workers and personal assistants a minimum wage of $15 per hour.
"These home health workers and personal assistants are doing extremely difficult and stressful work," Hastings said. "This proposal will give them a much needed wage increase, the opportunity for health insurance and the mandatory training they need to provide quality care to their clients."
Silverstein extends work, wage rights for domestic workers
A measure sponsored by State Senator Ira Silverstein (D-Chicago) to establish provisions for overtime, wages, days off and other protections for Illinois domestic workers passed in the Senate Executive Committee today.
Dubbed the Domestic Workers' Bill of Rights, House Bill 1288 defines what constitutes domestic work and expands rights for this class of workers from which they are now exempt. Four state laws would be amended to include domestic workers: The Minimum Wage Law, The Illinois Human Rights Act, The One Day Rest in Seven Act and The Wages of Women and Minors Act.

Thursday: A Mixed Bag of Reads
Posted: January 16, 2014 | Author: bostonboomer | Filed under: Barack Obama, Crime, Foreign Affairs, morning reads, U.S. Politics, War on Women, Water, Women's Healthcare, Women's Rights, worker rights | Tags: "Paysage Bords de Seine", art theft, Baltimore Museum of Art, Brian Schweitzer, David Sirota, Elkhart Indiana, foreign espionage, grocery store shooting, Jamie Bouie, Martha Fuqua, NSA, phone metadata, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Ron Paul, telephone companies | 38 Comments
I'm going to begin with a quirky story about a stolen painting by Pierre-Auguste Renoir: Renoir painting allegedly sold at flea market returning to museum. From the LA Times:
A small Pierre-Auguste Renoir painting that a woman said she purchased for just $7 at a flea market will return to a Maryland museum that argued that the painting was stolen from its premises in 1951.
A federal judge in Virginia ruled on Friday that Renoir's "Paysage Bords de Seine," which was painted in 1879, is the rightful property of the Baltimore Museum of Art. The decision brought to an ostensible end a bizarre case that pitted a driving teacher against the museum in a battle over an Impressionist work estimated to be worth $22,000.
Martha Fuqua, who reportedly teaches driving in Virginia, had said that she acquired the painting from a flea market in West Virginia in 2009. She later attempted to sell the work at an auction, which came to the attention of the Baltimore Museum of Art.
The weird part is that people who knew Fuqua claimed they had seen the painting in her mother's home. So who stole the painting? From the Washington Post:
…a number of people who know Fuqua have cast doubt on her flea market story, including her brother. Some family acquaintances told The Post that they remember seeing the Renoir in the 1980s and 1990s at the Fairfax County home of her mother, Marcia Fouquet, who attended art college in Baltimore at the time of the painting's theft in 1951. (The mother passed away five months ago at the age of 85.)
Apparently, Marcia Fouqua was an art thief. Here's the original police report (PDF).
Unfortunately, there's more bad news today–another shooting, this time in a grocery store in Elkhart, Indiana. NBC News reports:
A gunman killed a member of staff and a customer at an Indiana grocery store before being shot dead by police, officials said early Thursday.
The man had his gun pointed at a third person when officers arrived at Martin's Super Market in the city of Elkhart, Indiana State Police Sgt. Trent Smith said in a press conference early Thursday.
When he trained his weapon on the officers they shot him dead, Smith said…
Smith said it was a "huge crime scene" and that shots had been fired from one end of the store to the next. The victims were found 10 to 12 aisles apart.
Police rushed to the scene shortly after 10 p.m. on Wednesday after receiving a 911 call. They heard gunshots when they arrived and rushed to the section of the store from which the shots were fired.
Smith described the gunman as white man in his twenties who lived in the area. He said he was armed with a semiautomatic handgun and a large knife.
A little more from Reuters:
The three dead were believed to be a female store employee in her late teens or early 20s, a female shopper in her mid-40s, and the shooter, who was thought to be in his late teens or early 20s, Smith said.
Details such as what motivated the violence and whether there was any connection between the gunman and store employees were not immediately known, he said.
Police found a large knife and a semi-automatic handgun inside the store near the suspect, who was believed to live in the area, Smith said.
Police were withholding the suspect's name pending notification of his family.
David Sirota was up to his old tricks yesterday on Twitter. Once Sirota pretended to support Barack Obama–that was in the days when you couldn't blog on Dailykos unless you behaved like a zombie Obot. But even Kossaks mocked Sirota for his constant bragging about receiving a phone call from then-Senator Obama in 2006 and then being invited to interview Obama and his staff.
In those days, Sirota was critical of Obama. In the build-up to the 2012 election, Sirota became a Ron Paul Fan, calling him a "real progressive." After Obama was elected to a second term Sirota became so "unhinged" by Obama Derangement Syndrome that he compared Obama to George Zimmerman!
These days, Sirota has fastened his presidential hopes on Brian Schweitzer, former governor of Montana. And so when Jamie Bouie dared to suggest that by "positioning himself as a liberal repudiation of Obama," Schweitzer was in danger of alienating African American voters who still strongly support the President; Sirota responded by strongly implying that Bouie (an African American) is a racist by calling Bouie's post at The Daily Beast an "[e]xample of how communities of color are condescendingly portrayed as monolithic & unthinking voting blocs."
Here's a little bit of good news from yesterday's LA Times: U.S. accuses Wal-Mart of labor violations.
The National Labor Relations Board, an independent federal agency tasked with policing bad behavior by employers, is targeting Wal-Mart Stores Inc. over the retail behemoth's alleged crackdown on its protesting workers.
The NLRB filed a formal complaint Wednesday against the Bentonville, Ark. chain, alleging that the company violated the rights of more than 60 employees rallying over workplace conditions in 14 states — including California….
The Wednesday filing stems from NLRB findings released in November that deemed unlawful Wal-Mart's reactions to employees who participated in strikes around Black Friday in 2012.
The rallies spread to 100 cities. Nineteen employees were discharged from the company, allegedly as a reprimand for their involvement in the rallies, according to the NLRB.
The agency said that efforts to broker a settlement between Wal-Mart and its workers failed, leading to Wednesday's complaint. The filing names more than 60 Wal-Mart supervisors — 19 in California — and corporate communications vice president David Tovar.
The article quotes experts who speculate that the NLRB may be trying to signal to corporations that it is going to stand up for not only unionized workers, but also those in non-unionized businesses. If true, that is excellent news.
Last night Cincinnati acted to protect residents from the chemical plume that is making its way down the Ohio River from West Virginia. From WLW 700: Cincinnati Water Works Prepares to Close Water Intake Valves.
(Cincinnati)–Days after a hazardous chemical leaked into the Elk River in West Virginia the chemical has flowed into the Ohio River and the Cincinnati area.
The Chemical known as 4-methylcyclohexane methanol leaked from a 48,000-gallon storage tank owned by Freedom Industries, in West Virginia. Investigators believe the leak began on Thursday Jan, 9. and the chemical foaming agent seeped though a one inch hole, in the storage tank and into the River….
Lisa Cochran the Communication Coordinator with The Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Commission (ORSANCO) said the Chemical MCHM was first detected Sunday Jan 12. in the Ohio River.
She adds (ORSANCO) is coordinating with multiple organizations, including Cincinnati Water Works, Northern Kentucky Water, Kentucky Division of Water, US Coast Guard, West Virginia American Water and others to monitor the progress of the spill. "We have field crew members who actually go out and take samples" to determine the concentration of the chemical.
Cincinnati Waterworks is prepared to close their Ohio River water intake valves when the hazardous chemical plume is found. Cochran says "they (Cincinnati Water Works) do plan to shut down when the plume reaches their water intake".
In NSA news, The New York Times published more "revelations" from the material that Edward Snowden stole. As has become the accepted technique with NSA stories, the article begins with supposedly terrifying news: the NSA uses mysterious "radio technology" to attack computer that aren't even connected to the internet! Aiiiiiiiiiieeeeeee!
But read on. So far the software has only been used on 100,000 computers since 2008, primarily in countries like China, Russia, and Pakistan, and the software must be physically installed by a human spy with a flash drive. It has never been used domestically.
The N.S.A. calls its efforts more an act of "active defense" against foreign cyberattacks than a tool to go on the offensive. But when Chinese attackers place similar software on the computer systems of American companies or government agencies, American officials have protested, often at the presidential level.
Among the most frequent targets of the N.S.A. and its Pentagon partner, United States Cyber Command, have been units of the Chinese Army, which the United States has accused of launching regular digital probes and attacks on American industrial and military targets, usually to steal secrets or intellectual property. But the program, code-named Quantum, has also been successful in inserting software into Russian military networks and systems used by the Mexican police and drug cartels, trade institutions inside the European Union, and sometime partners against terrorism like Saudi Arabia, India and Pakistan, according to officials and an N.S.A. map that indicates sites of what the agency calls "computer network exploitation."
So basically, the NSA uses this technology to do its job–spying on foreign countries to protect U.S. interests. Horrors!
And as for the phone call metadata program, Phone companies don't want the job of spying on customers' calls. PBS Newshour:
President Barack Obama is expected to announce Friday what changes he is willing to make to satisfy privacy, legal and civil liberties concerns over the NSA's surveillance practices. One of the most important questions is whether the government will continue to collect millions of Americans' phone records every day so that the government can identify anyone it believes might be communicating with known terrorists.
The president's hand-picked review committee has recommended ending the phone records program as it exists. It suggested shifting the storage of the phone records from the NSA to phone companies or an unspecified third party, and it recommended new legal requirements before the government could search anyone's phone records.
The phone companies don't want the job. Executives and their lawyers have complained about the plan in confidential meetings with administration officials and key congressional intelligence and other committees, according to interviews by The Associated Press. Two phone executives familiar with the discussions said the cellular industry told the government that it prefers the NSA keep control over the surveillance program and would only accept changes if they were legally required. The executives spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to disclose the private discussions. But there have been public complaints, too.
Frankly, I've never trusted the phone company. I'd much rather have this data stored on government computers, where it can't be accessed without a warrant approved by the FISA court.
Finally, Rolling Stone is highlighting the Republican war on women's reproductive rights with a long read by Janet Reitman: The Stealth War on Abortion. I haven't read the article yet, but I hope it's good. We need more high-profile publications to highlight what's happening to women's rights in red states.
So . . . there's a mixed bag of reads to get you started on the day. What stories are you following? Please post your links in the comment thread, and have a great Thursday!

HMRC seeks out online traders and freelancers over unpaid tax
A host of digital freelancers and traders have been written to by HMRC, urging them to report their income.
Within these letters, HMRC advises that it holds information indicating the individual has received income which has not been disclosed to the tax authority.
The Chartered Institute of Taxation (CIOT) confirmed that HMRC had issued the first batch of warning letters mid-January, with those in question given a 30-day window to file a 'certificate of tax position'.
It is also worth noting that this new emphasis on reviewing the tax position of individuals creating online content is a joint initiative, conducted across several HMRC departments. CIOT also advised that "members of the Joint Chiefs of Global Tax Enforcement (known as the J5) are looking at undertaking internationally co-ordinated action".
HMRC advised CIOT that this activity will continue into 2023 and beyond.
HMRC warning to the gig economy
The message from HMRC is clear. If you have undisclosed income relating to online or digital activity, you should take urgent action to bring your tax affairs up to date to mitigate HMRC applying penalties and fines, in addition to recovering any unpaid tax.
If you have undisclosed income from the gig economy, it is possible to submit a Notification of Intent, disclosing your earnings via HMRC's Digital Disclosure Service (DDS) portal.
Although it's always best to disclose untaxed income as soon as possible, the CIOT warns that a Notification of Intent may not always be the most suitable course of action.
The body said: "Depending on the individual circumstances of the taxpayer, other approaches may be better, for example Code of Practice 9 where fraud is suspected".
We can work with you to deal with undisclosed income proactively
The best route for avoiding any form of HMRC investigation is to employ an accountant first and foremost. Using an accountant should ensure that your tax return is accurate and complies with the UK tax regime. We can help you identify all allowable expenditure and reliefs that may be available.
Whatever you do, it's always best to deal with unpaid tax issues head on and don't ignore them.
At TaxAssist Accountants many years of experience in handling cases like yours, ensuring the best possible outcome for all concerned. For a free initial consultation on your tax affairs, pick up the phone and arrange a meeting today on 0800 0523 555 or drop us a line using our online enquiry form.

This Is Anfield • Liverpool FC News •
Enjoy Liverpool's stunning road to Madrid again with behind-the-scenes footage
Liverpool's journey to Madrid has thrown up some truly memorable moments across the continent, and you can relive it all with this behind-the-scenes video.
* Video above from BT Sport; geographic restrictions may apply.
From the group stage which required late winners and last-gasp saves, to the knockout rounds which took Jurgen Klopp's men to the cusp of a semi-final exit, the Reds' road to Madrid has been anything but straightforward.
And it's a journey perfectly showcased by BT Sport's No Filter series, which gives supporters the opportunity to enjoy the moments which have led to a second successive Champions League final.
The redemption for Kyiv started when Liverpool was pitted against Paris Saint-Germain, Napoli and Red Star Belgrade—a draw some coined the Group of Death.
And while the Reds made hard work of it at times, most notably on foreign soil, it was a six-game run memorably bookended by Roberto Firmino's late winner against PSG, and Alisson's superb save against Napoli to secure Liverpool's passage to the round of 16.
Bayern Munich and the Allianz Arena were next on the agenda, where Sadio Mane's stunning effort can be relived in all its glory as Allez, Allez, Allez rings out from the travelling Kop.
A relatively straightforward quarter-final tie against Porto is then given minimal airtime as the main course lays in wait.
The heavyweight clash with Barcelona takes up over half of the 24-minute video as the ebbs and flows of emotions from both legs takes centre stage.
But it is the return leg at Anfield which any Red would not mind rewatching over and over again.
And thankfully the cameras were on hand from all corners of the ground to capture what was in all likelihood Anfield's greatest-ever night.
From the team bus navigating its way through thick red smoke, a defiant rendition of You'll Never Walk Alone and four unanswered goals which sent Anfield into pure pandemonium.
It proves to be a spine-tingling 24 minutes which is a must watch for any Red.
Let's hope the next instalment of the series in the days following June 1 provides just as many moments to savour.
