I have so many fond memories of playing baseball, football and especially 16" softball at Gompers Park. This recent addition of the scoreboard started with Alderman Margaret Laurino, and today it has come to fruition with 39th Ward Alderman Samantha Nugent. I am proud to have partnered with both Aldermen over the years for many improvement projects at Gompers Park. These improvements will ensure fond memories will be built for generations to come.

This morning we cut the ribbon at the Howard Street Crossing. These infrastructure improvements make it easier to travel Howard Street for pedestrian, bikers, and motorists alike.
Thank you to Mayor George Alpogianis, Village of Niles Trustees, Cook County Commissioner Peter Silvestri, and all civic infrastructure leaders for everyone's partnership in this project.

I was happy to join the Plumbers Local 130 UA for a union and labor gathering. Thank you James Coyne, Business Manager of Plumbers Local 130 UA, for hosting. A tough Bears game to watch, made easier by being surrounded by many hardworking union brothers and sisters.

I was glad to present this $1,000 check for the Notre Dame College Prep Bass Fishing Team on behalf the the Illinois Sportsmen's Caucus to Shay Boyle, President of Notre Dame College Prep.
I always say a young man with a fishing pole in his hand can't get into trouble. I wish them all good luck and tight lines!

We can invest in a clean, greener economy and protect jobs at the same time. The Climate and Equitable Jobs Act was supported by labor unions and will set the stage for thousands of good-paying jobs with strong workforce development programs in the clean energy sector.

The first official Labor Day was signed into law by President Grover Cleveland in 1894 — it’s been a federal holiday for longer than Thanksgiving has! But after 125+ years, many Americans have forgotten the dire circumstances that called for worker reform to begin with. Though the day is now celebrated with pool parties and burgers on the grill, pause and raise a glass to the labor activists who rallied for eight-hour workdays and other essential worker protections that too many of us take for granted.
Happy Labor Day!

I am proud to announce Governor JB Pritzker signed an important piece of legislation I worked on with my good friend Secretary of State Jesse White, SB698. This legislation is another step in protecting drivers, pedestrians, and specifically children as passengers on schoo busses.
“I applaud the efforts of Rep. John D’Amico in gaining passage of SB 698, which strengthens the law for individuals seeking a permit to drive school buses. Chairman D’Amico’s focus on transportation issues has greatly helped make our roads safer, and shows once again why he is considered one of the top legislators in Springfield,” said Secretary of State Jesse White.

Owners of Electric Vehicles can bring their military, personalized, or vanity plates with them instead of having to purchase an “EV” plate, under legislation I sponsored. Senate Bill 573 was signed by Governor J.B. Pritzker on Monday. We see the growing number of electric vehicles on the road and we know people will want to have their own personal plates on these cars. In discussing this with Secretary White, we came up with a process for allowing that to happen. I'm glad the Governor agrees that it's important, too.
The legislation takes effect January 1, 2021.

What is the Illinois Rental Assistance Program?

The Rental Assistance Program is here to help keep families stably housed, and ensure that tenants and Housing Providers/Landlords are financially secure to prevent a tide of evictions due to COVID-19.

If you are a renter whose primary residence is in Illinois and are behind on rent due to economic hardship caused by COVID-19, you may be eligible for up to 15 months of rental payments to cover back-rent owed from June 2020 through August 2021.

If you are a renter or Housing Provider/Landlord who has renters in Illinois and meet the requirements in the 4-Step Eligibility Check, then you may be eligible to apply for rental assistance.

On this day in 1777, the Second Continental Congress adopted the flag of the United States, representing the dream of creating a more perfect union. This Flag Day, let's remember that we all share that goal and must continue to work together to achieve it.
