for Glenview.”
Several members of
the Glenview Chamber of
Commerce argued against
adopting the ordinance.
President Karen Patterson,
who spoke last for
the delegation, said, “our
message is simple.”
“We believe the language
in the referendum on
election day did not outline
its negative repercussions,”
she said. “To have this be a
county mandate, it creates
an uneven playing field in
which our business owners
are required to play. Since
Lake County and others
don’t follow suit, they have
the clear advantage. This
should be a state mandate
for all to follow equally.
Until that time, we believe
it’s best for the Village of
Glenview to opt out of the
county ordinances.”
Subsequent to the passage
of Cook County’s
minimum wage ordinance,
the Illinois State Senate
and House of Representatives
each approved a bill
in May 2017 that, if adopted,
would have increased
the state’s minimum wage
from $8.25 per hour to $9
per hour, effective January
1, 2018, with subsequent
increases until the minimum
wage reached $15 per
hour by 2022.
Governor Bruce Rauner
vetoed the legislation in
August 2017. There was insufficient
support to override
the governor’s veto
in both the State Senate
and the State House, and a
subsequent bill regarding
minimum wage hasn’t been
approved since.
Glenview businesses and
organizations that spoke
against adopting the Cook
County ordinances, for
various reasons, included
the Glenview Chamber
of Commerce, Johnny’s
Kitchen and Tap, Stitchmine
Custom Embroidery,
Bedemann Ford, Heinen’s,
Mingle Juice Bar, and Glen
Oak Dog & Cat Hospital.
Several told the board
they would consider
leaving Glenview if the
ordinances were implemented
in the village. The
owner of another, Mingle
Juice Bar, insinuated
she would have to close
down entirely.
Organizations that spoke
in favor of adopting the
Cook County ordinances included
the League of Women
Voters and Cook County
Board President Toni
Preckwinkle’s office.
After listening to their
constituents, the Glenview
Village Board was torn on
the issue.
“If I care about the disadvantaged,
isn’t it completely
incongruous for
me to implement a policy
that I think harms the disadvantaged?”
Trustee Michael
Jenny said. “But I
don’t get to solely wear
my personal-belief hat up
here either. I have to serve
all constituents of Glenview.
I need to take into
consideration all the viewpoints
that were shared
both here and through
the referendum. And I
have to make the decision
that I believe is right for
the community.”
At the end of his argument,
Jenny supported finding
a way to raise the minimum
wage in Glenview.
Trustee Deborah Karton
said she hoped the State
Senate and House’s previous
attempts to increase
the minimum wage weren’t
a “political stunt” staged
because lawmakers knew
Rauner would veto the
bill. Now that Democrat
J.B. Pritzker will occupy
the governor’s mansion,
Karton said she would like
them to try again.
“I do think, though,
that elections have consequences,
and we need to do
something,” she said. “The
overwhelming preference
of the voters who voted is
to adopt [the ordinances].”
Ultimately, Village President
Jim Patterson directed
staff to include an advisory
item on the Thursday, Jan.
3 meeting agenda so the
board could explore the options:
stick with their original
decision, opt into one
or both of the ordinances,
or write their own laws on
minimum wage and sick
leave specifically tailored
to Glenview.
He also warned that,
because of the complexity
of the issue and its potential
effects on the business
community, a final
vote on the issue could be
postponed several months
while village staff sifts
through the details.
After that, any new law
could take months before
going into effect to give
businesses time to make
the transition; when Cook
County passed its ordinances
in late 2016, they
didn’t take effect until the
following summer.
