  • Public Funding of Evanston's Local Reparations Program - Alderman Rainey

    Evanston, IL
    Other

    Evanston's City Council designated a 3% Cannabis Retailers' Occupation Tax on adult/recreational cannabis sales as the sole funding source for the city's Reparations Program, projecting $10 million in revenue over ten years. The tax became effective July 1, 2020, with revenue remitted to the city quarterly; based on sales from January 1 through the document date, the tax would have generated approximately $450,000 minus state administrative fees. Evanston had one dispensary operating at the time, with Illinois planning to issue 75 new dispensary licenses statewide (delayed due to COVID-19 and tied applicant ratings), of which a 9-county region including Evanston was allocated 47 licenses; the document notes that 1–2 additional Evanston dispensary licenses would significantly boost reparations program funding. Illinois also scheduled issuance of 40 craft grower and 40 infuser licenses in July.

  • Hazleton GSC Home Rule Charter Drafting

    Hazleton, PA

    Hazleton's Government Study Commission met on November 18, 2025, to initiate a home rule charter drafting process that would shift municipal governance from state code to locally-adopted charter. The commission will address major drafting issues including determining the form of government—whether to retain the current structure, mirror optional plans from state law (executive/council plans A, B, C or council/manager), or create a hybrid form—while balancing fiscal flexibility with fiscal responsibility. Basic charter components under consideration include grants of municipal powers, government organization and structure, legislative and administrative procedures, citizen participation mechanisms, administrative practice mandates (merit personnel systems, capital budgeting, auditing), and general provisions. PEL (Pennsylvania Educator's League or equivalent consulting entity) will guide the drafting process through reviewing the current form, presenting single-issue questions for deliberation, offering guidance, and translating commission decisions into charter sections after straw votes on each item. The charter will follow four style guidelines—clarity, consistency, conciseness, and correctness—with language drawn from applicable state codes where applicable.
