Illinois Lieutenant Governor Patrick Quinn responded to rising concerns about unaffordable energy for low-income Illinois residents by convening a meeting of advocates in January 2003, and challenging them to develop a better approach to energy assistance. As a result of that challenge, a working group of low-income advocates, energy policy advisors, researchers, and community leaders met and established the Illinois Affordable Energy Campaign (IAEC) to identify and recommend policy changes to the current Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). The Illinois LIHEAP program gives heating assistance to approximately 316,000 families across the state each year. This document the Affordable Energy Plan, is the result of this collaborative process. While the current LIHEAP program provides valuable and essential assistance to low-income families, the Affordable Energy Plan (AEP) improves the program design through a set of common sense reform measures that better address today's volatile energy environment. Reconstructing LIHEAP will make the program more efficient and effective; it will make energy more affordable for more LIHEAP customers; Illinois will see fewer homes disconnected from their utility services, and participants will be able to better understand and plan for their heating expenses.

In the fall of 2003, Governor Blagojevich unveiled Opportunity Returns, a regional economic development plan that is the most aggressive, comprehensive approach to creating jobs in Illinois' history. The Governor divided the state into 10 economic development regions -- finding areas with common economic strengths and needs, and is developing plans for each region that include specific actions to make these regions more accessible and more attractive to business. This grassroots effort is a product of significant outreach with economic development leaders, local elected officials and business and community leaders. Each Opportunity Returns economic development plan is designed to be flexible and effective and tailored to deliver real results that local businesses will see, feel, and hopefully profit from.
