To promote, educate and advocate for the Residential Building &
Remodeling Industry; providing resources that benefit industry
professionals and consumers in the communities we serve.
In a landmark labor case, the court ruled that forced
union fees are unconstitutional. The decision marks
the first step toward worker freedom for 5.5 million
government employees across the United States –
including 370,000 in Illinois.
A huge crowd showed up to be part of the
Operation Finally Home Poggi family house
dedication in Mascoutah. The ceremonies shared
many special moments with recognition of those
involved, prayers, blessings and heartfelt words
from many close to this project.
It is not every day that our industry gets to honor
our hero’s with a home. Our HBA strength, quality
and love was put into this home with so many
members and friends that touched this family.
More surprises were waiting inside the home for
the Poggi family in this whirl wind day of emotions.
A full pictorial of this event is throughout this issue.
In a 5-4 ruling on June 27, the
U.S. Supreme Court declared
forced union fees violate the
First Amendment rights of
government workers.
The case, Janus v. AFSCME,
is a landmark decision. For
decades, government workers
in many states were forced to
pay fees to government unions
as a condition of employment.
Under that system, it didn’t
matter whether a government
worker thought the union
represented him or her well. It
didn’t matter whether he or
she liked the way the union
focused on politics. Public
sector employees had to pay
fees to their unions or risk
losing their jobs.
That changes with the court’s
June 27 ruling. The case,
brought by Mark Janus, a
child support specialist for the
state of Illinois, challenged
that unconstitutional scheme,
arguing that forcing workers
to subsidize unions through
mandatory fees violates
workers’ First Amendment
freedom of speech.
The court agreed, ruling that
government unions “may no
longer extract” fees from
“nonconsenting employees.”
To do so would violate the
First Amendment.
Janus was represented in court
by the Illinois Policy
Institute’s litigation partner,
the Liberty Justice Center, as
well as the National Right to
Work Legal Defense
Foundation.
Government workers will now
get to choose for themselves
whether they want to
financially support their
unions. But it won’t happen
automatically. Workers will
likely need to take the
affirmative step of opting out
of the union in order to see
their paychecks affected.

fall on everyone’s faces. They
were overwhelmed to find that

with another gift of food and a

They explored each room loving it more and more
as they went on. The kids, Logan and Riley liked
their rooms so much, they wouldn’t leave them to
look at the rest of the house. James and Stephani
were speechless when they saw their master
bedroom. They were amazed at the amount of space
they have in their master bathroom and how easy it
would be for James to get around.
Once they family made it through

Despite more political uncertainty than usual emanating
from Washington, the next 12 months are shaping up
well. The odds of a recession remain very low – about
10% -- despite now being in the middle of the second
longest economic recovery in US history. Global growth
is solid, and while inflation is rising, it’s doing so
slowly, giving the Fed time to raise rates at a leisurely
pace and not upend the fastest economic growth our
economy is about to experience since 2005.
Giving the economy a strong boost is a combination of
net tax cuts totaling more than $1 trillion passed in
December and spending increases totaling $400 billion
passed in February. Collectively, these stimuli should
raise near-term GDP by half a point. As a result, the Fed
is likely to raise rates at least two more times this year –
each time by one-quarter point – and possibly three
times. This will be done to protect the economy from
overheating and proactively prevent inflation from rising
much higher than 2 percent/year, the Fed’s target
inflation rate.
unemployment below 4 percent – and with labor force
growth weak – the struggle to find workers will get
worse before it gets better. More and more firms will be
forced to turn away work due to a lack of skilled labor.
With both U.S. population growth and immigration
slowing, an advantageous solution is for firms to invest
in labor-saving technology to boost output. Fortunately,
due to the recent tax reform, tax treatment of purchases
of plant and equipment is more favorable today than at
any time in recent memory.
Because of the ongoing labor shortage, skyrocketing
input costs including lumber, aluminum, and rising land
costs, single-family housing starts will rise by no more
than 5 percent over the next 12 months and multifamily
activity should remain where it is. By contrast,
remodeling activity looks to grow by a strong 7.5
percent due to a combination of ever-rising home prices
boosting home equity, shrinking inventory of existing
houses, and limited starts, all of which are causing
homeowners to remodel rather than move. As for
existing sales activity, it might grow by as much as 1 or
2 percent, but not more; home prices will rise by 6.5
percent over the next year.
Growth during the rest of 2018 looks to be meaningfully
better than what we have experienced since the end of
the Great Recession. This is due to decent global growth
and passage of tax cuts and spending increases here in
the US.
GDP growth during the next 12 months should average
2.8 percent, up from 2.3 percent in Q1 2018.
Unemployment will continue to decline from the current
rate of 3.9 percent to t least 3.7 percent and perhaps as
low as 3.6 percent, rates not seen in more than 50 years.
Inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index, will
rise from 2.0 percent now to 2.5 percent by year-end
2018. As for 10-year Treasury rates; by year-end expect
them to be at or near 3.2 percent, up from the current 3
percent.
Regrettably, the worker shortage will worsen. Employer
surveys show an ever-increasing number of firms in a
growing number of industries facing growing difficulties
in the recruitment of skilled workers. With
10
A wildcard in all this is trade. A dissolution of the North
American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and a trade
war with China or Europe would weaken growth – albeit
not substantially – at least in the short-run. The knock-on
effects such as a possible decline in consumer
confidence are of more concern. Lastly, while interest
rates will rise in the second half of 2018 (as they have in
the first half), the increases will be measured, and the
chances of a recession are very low.

From the desk of:
Mayor Cheryl Maguire
The City of Wood River has a shovel ready
housing development.
What we have is Lincoln Place, where a
former school was located. The land has
been cleared and has infrastructure in
place. This property is approved for 9 home
lots.
The City is willing to “gift” two lots at a time,
to a builder who can erect modest 2 to 3
bedroom homes with a basement and
garage.
There is a packet with all the information
available at City Hall—111 N. Wood River
Ave., Wood River, IL 62095.
We just want to see this property developed.
Thank you,
Mayor Cheryl Maguire
