Former Carle Foundation Hospital pediatric nurse manager, Lynn Sprout, testified before the Urbana Human Relations Commission that she hid her lesbianism from her employer for 15 years until her same-sex partner of 18 years, Linda Schurvinske, became ill and was dying. Within seven months of coming out as lesbian, Ms. Sprout’s partner died and Ms. Sprout was fired. The five Commissioners on the Urbana Human Relations Commission will decide if any part of Ms. Sprout’s dismissal was due to her lesbianism. If they believe it was, they may force the hospital to give Ms. Sprout her job back with back pay and benefits.

U.S. Rep. Tim Johnson: Leaving Nearly Every Child (Except the Wealthy) Behind; Shorts Local Schools $1.6 Million in Promised Funding to Improve Education |

Despite his populist rhetoric, U.S. Representative Tim Johnson has been ineffective in ensuring that our local education system benefits from the resources promised from the federal level to meet the requirements of the controversial 2001 No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB).
