Vested Interest – Antonio M. Romanucci, President 2019-2020

Vested Interest May 2020 Dear ITLA Colleagues, What a world we are currently living in. What a different world it was on June 5, 2019 (the prior ITLA installation dinner), let alone the difference between today and just a few shorts months ago on March 17, 2020. Merriam Webster defines “pandemic” as: an outbreak of…

Vested Interest – Mark D. Prince, President 2018-2019

Vested Interest May 2019 As I write this, my last President’s Page column, I only have three weeks left in my term. I approach the end of my term as your President with mixed emotions. On the one hand, I am very happy that I am about to get the prized Past President designation; on…

Vested Interest – John P. Scanlon, President 2017-2018

Vested Interest May 2018 Traditionally, every April our organization holds a board meeting in Springfield. This year, as in years past, we used that board meeting as an opportunity to schedule several events with state legislators to both socialize and discuss issues important to our organization. On April 17th, a group of 20 ITLA leaders…

Vested Interest – Christopher T. Hurley, President 2016-2017

Vested Interest May 2017 Nobody likes taxes – but everyone wants a qualified air traffic controller. At tax time we complain. But it’s important to remember why we pay taxes.  We want our garbage hauled away.  We want the fire department and the police nearby.  We hate potholes.  We want clean water, fresh air and…

Vested Interest – Perry J. Browder, President 2015-2016

Vested Interest May 2016 My year serving as ITLA’s president has gone by fast. June 10, 2016 used to seem so far away, but now it is upon us. As many of you know, it was a very busy year. Where have we come since my appointment as president? We started the year with a…

Vested Interest – John D. Cooney, President 2014-2015

Vested Interest May 2015 Since taking office in January, Governor Rauner has been busy attacking trial lawyers and seeking to take away rights from the clients we represent.  He’s made absurd comments regarding the Illinois Supreme Court saying he doesn’t “trust the Supreme Court to be rational in their decisions” and that the high court…

Vested Interest – Stephen D. Phillips, President 2013-2014

Vested Interest May 2014 Twelve months ago, I was genuinely honored and very humbled to become president of this organization – one so steeped in tradition, moral backbone, and insurmountable fortitude. I had a vision of what I wanted ITLA to do during my tenure and a plan for how to accomplish that vision.  I…

Vested Interest – Gregory L. Shevlin, President 2012-2013

May 2013 Vested Interest With only a few weeks to go in my term, I am sitting down to write my final president’s page.  Time really flies when you are having fun!  I know that sometimes I would joke about how many days I had to go before it was over, but now that the…

Vested Interest – Jerry A. Latherow, President 2011-2012

Vested Interest May 2012 This column, my last President’s Thoughts, is written a week before Greg Shevlin replaces me as President of ITLA. For months, various people have said to me “aren’t you glad it’s about over?”. But for being able to concentrate again on my law practice, I cannot say I am glad my ITLA year is coming…
