July 1st, 2010 | | This morning, Governor Quinn held a press conference announcing his Fiscal Year 2011 budget. The Illinois State Police budget for FY 2011 is $272 million. This figure represents a $15.4 million decrease from FY 2010. While the $15.4 million decrease is not good news, it is better than what was anticipated earlier this spring when Acting Director Monken announced a proposed budget cut of over $35 million. In March, when the ISP was facing a $35 million dollar cut, Acting Director Monken stated that the ISP had "already identified approximately $12 million in cuts to areas of the budget that does not include layoffs”. At that time the remaining $23.4 million dollar gap was to be filled by the lay off of 464 sworn officers. The Lodge continues to work on this issue and will keep you informed as things progress. |
June 30th, 2010 | | With the consent and advice of our labor attorney D’Alba, the labor/ management meetings between the Lodge and CMS scheduled for July 7th and 8th have been postponed. The Lodge postponed the meeting so that we can continue to collect information that we feel is vital in evaluating any proposals that may be tendered by the Department in respect to state finances and the State Police budget. We feel it would be inappropriate to hold any meetings while all of the information needed has not been obtained and/or evaluated. The Lodge will continue to keep you informed as the situation progresses. |
June 2nd, 2010: Request for Concessions.... | | On Wednesday June 2, 2010 members of Troopers Lodge 41 Executive Committee met with representatives from Governor Quinn’s office, Central Management Services (CMS) and the Directors office. During this meeting CMS proposed Troopers Lodge 41 open the RC 164 collective bargaining agreement and give the State of Illinois contractual concessions in an effort to assist the State in meeting its fiscal responsibilities. Troopers Lodge 41 has requested additional information from the Department and CMS before the Lodge formulates a response to this request. The Executive Committee of Troopers Lodge 41 has not in any way agreed to open the RC 164 contract, or to any concessions. This meeting was the first step in what could be a long negotiation process. The Lodge Leadership is committed to transparency and open communication with the membership during these trying times. Do not hesitate to contact the Lodge with any questions or concerns you may have….. Lodge Secretary, Chris Southwood. |
