2020 IL Senate race: on Corporations


Mark Curran: Cut red tape and regulations for private business

Cut red tape and allow for private industry to foster innovation. What happens is congress creates an Administrative agency. The Administrative agency then creates its own regulations and other people within the agency have the role of enforcing the laws and making judicial decisions. These agencies are often run by career government employees that have little accountability and virtually no oversight. The climate in some of these agencies is extremely hostile toward business.

Mark Curran: Oversight of government agencies hostile to business

I have spent a significant part of my career as a lawyer working for and representing people against Administrative agencies. These agencies are often run by career government employees that have little accountability and virtually no oversight. The climate in some of these agencies is extremely hostile toward business. I would work towards increased independent oversight of these agencies as well as assessing whether or not they have exceeded the limits for which they were created.

Richard Durbin: Patriot employers: reward companies that supply U.S. jobs

I have introduced legislation designed to encourage "patriot employers," which would provide tax credits as a reward to the companies that supply American jobs, pay decent wages, offer good benefits including health insurance and retirement plans, and support their employees when they are called to military duty.

The manufacturing sector of our economy is in crisis. The United States has lost 2.6 million manufacturing jobs since January 2001. This is more than 85 percent of our total private sector job losses during that time even though manufacturing jobs account for less than 14 percent of our private sector economy.

Manufacturing is the engine of economic growth for Illinois and the United States. Workers with basic skills who find employment in the manufacturing sector can earn a middle-class income. Senator Durbin is committed to addressing our nation's manufacturing crisis and protecting U.S. companies and workers from unfair trade practices.
