(The Center Square) – Local officials are not happy about the Illinois Department of Corrections’ decision to relocate Logan Correctional Center from Lincoln to Crest Hill, but a state senator from Joliet says the move is cost-effective. The Illinois Department of Corrections and Illinois Capital Development Board announced the decision last week and said Friday they were seeking a “progressive design build entity” to construct two new facilities in the Will County city of Crest Hill. The new facilities are slated to replace Logan, a women’s correctional center, and the now-closed Stateville Correctional Center for men in Crest Hill. State Sen. Sally Turner, R-Beason, state Rep. Bill Hauter, R-Morton, and Logan County Board Chair James Glenn promptly released a statement calling the decision to relocate Logan “ill-advised and devastating.” Lincoln Mayor Tracy Welch said his community would likely see a reduction in population. “There will definitely be a loss of sales tax revenue, property tax revenue, and our local businesses will likely see an impact to this as well,” Welch told The Center Square. Welch said local schools would also be affected as people move away. The mayor said, until recently, there was some hope that Logan might remain open. State Sen. Rachel Ventura, D-Joliet, said the relocation is a good move for the state as a whole. “First, we do have another facility at Lincoln where those workers can transition, so we don't anticipate individuals losing their jobs. We do need a women's facility up north where some family members can visit their loved ones,” Ventura told The Center Square. Turner said there are about as many inmates from south of I-80 as there are from north of I-80. “We also believe that we have the individuals here that are trained in the workforce for the women's prison, which is different than being trained for a men's prison,” Turner told The Center Square. The new facilities, one for men and one for women, are slated to replace Logan and the now-closed Stateville Correctional Center in Crest Hill. Turner said Logan has generational families that raised their families in Lincoln. “It's going to be devastating to our community,” Turner said. Ventura said it will be more cost-effective to build two prisons simultaneously in Will County. “This allows the state to go out to bid for a design-build for both prisons now. That will allow us to come in on time and be the most cost-effective,” Ventura said. Ventura said the cost estimate for the new Stateville facilities remained unchanged at $900 million.

(The Center Square) – Disabled Californians face a potential $367.7 million budget cut to taxpayer-funded in-home healthcare services, disability advocates said on Monday. Advocates noted the move from the state could mean life or death for many with disabilities. In a press conference held outside the state Capitol on Monday morning, those who rely on those services criticized Gov. Gavin Newsom’s cuts to those services in his latest budget. Cuts to California’s In-Home Support Services program would mean many with disabilities would be forced to depend on the care of institutions and facilities or be stranded at home without care, advocates said. “IHSS is not only preferred by disabled people and our families, but is way less expensive than our alternatives,” Eric Harris, associate executive director of external affairs for Disability Rights California, said at the press conference. The proposed cuts in the governor’s revised budget, released in May, aim to eliminate the in-home support services backup provider program, shifting more costs onto counties, Harris said. The budget cuts would also reduce the asset limit to individuals dependent on in-home care to $2,000, meaning that those with savings, investments and cash would not be able to receive in-home care services if they have more than $2,000 worth of assets. “Disabled people reject these proposed cuts that will needlessly harm people with disabilities, families and caregivers,” Harris said. According to the office of Assemblymember Jeff Gonzalez, R-Indio, $233.6 million of in-home support services costs would be shifted to counties. The office said cuts include $68 million with the immediate end of in-home care services to individuals when their Medi-Cal coverage is discontinued, $62.6 million by reducing a disabled individual’s asset limit to $2,000, and $3.5 million by ending the Backup Provider System, which provides in-home care patients with a secondary medical provider if their primary in-home caregiver is unavailable. “Where we’re at today in funding is what we would call the bottom rung,” Gonzalez said during the press conference in response to a question from The Center Square. “We’re talking about caregivers. We’re talking about services. We’re talking about an entire system that needs to be funded.” Those who rely on in-home care services also told The Center Square during the press conference that cuts to the backup provider system, in particular, would result in more emergency room visits, which are more expensive than current expenditures to maintain that program. “That costs about $3,000 each,” Kate Laddish, president of California IHSS Consumer Alliance, said, answering a question from The Center Square. “Based on the number of people who had been served by the backup provider system, the savings, the people not going to the emergency room for just those counties [Los Angeles and Yolo], was 70% of what was proposed to be saved by cutting the entire program for the entire state.” The governor’s press office did not immediately respond to The Center Square’s request for comment on Monday.
