DAILY HERALD
— Eckhoff: Other counties should pitch in on food pantry
https://www.dailyherald.com/20260406/letters-to-the-editor/other-counties-should-pitch-in-on-food-pantry/
(FROM THE LETTER: I support food pantries. In fact, I supported food pantries with a portion of my 2025 DuPage County Board member grants, though Loaves and Fishes in Naperville was not one of them. The L&F pantry does good work. It serves a large number of people and is run by caring and intelligent management. However, when L&F sought a $2.5 million grant from DuPage County to expand its facilities, I voted no. DuPage residents make up only 36% to 41% of people served by L&F. Conversely, 42% of the individuals served by L&F are from Kane County, 18% from Will County and 4% from Kendall County. During the last two years, Will and Kane counties combined have contributed slightly under $200,000 total to L&F. As a result, I believe that the other counties should pay a percentage of the $2.5 million that approximates the percentage that their residents benefit from L&F. As stewards of the DuPage County tax dollars, I believe we should have represented the DuPage County taxpayers in this manner. DuPage taxpayers deserve a better return than 36 to 41 cents on the dollar. In an editorial praising the vote to authorize the DuPage grant, the Daily Herald did not publish the facts I relied on to make my decision, only offered the nebulous statement that “a few DuPage board members have said that other counties should help fund the project’s estimated $8 million price tag.” The facts I stated above should have been part of the editorial and considered by the Daily Herald. In the future, both to better educate the public and to have a more informed opinion, the Daily Herald should consult with both sides of the issue and not rely on only one side.)
CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— U.S. Supreme Court declines to take up a challenge to an Illinois law that prohibits the carrying of firearms on public transportation unless they are unloaded and secured. The 2013 Firearm Concealed Carry Act was challenged by three residents of Cook, DuPage, and DeKalb counties who have concealed-carry permits and sought to have their loaded weapons for self-defense on the CTA and Metra. DD: Criminals are overjoyed.

https://thefederalist.com/2026/04/06/7-people-trump-should-consider-for-ag-with-proven-track-records-of-accountability/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Russ Vought Director of OMB Russ Vought has shown he has the much-needed muscle to fight back against the left without apology. Vought slashed funding for left-wing pet projects like critical race theory indoctrination and publicly told Congress the 1974 Impoundment Control Act is unconstitutional, pointing out it has been used to enable waste, fraud and abuse. Such institutional knowledge is useful in purging the DOJ of waste and abuse in order to focus on the mission. Vought has shown he understands that restoring rule of law isn’t merely about competence but also a willingness to confront bureaucratic waste that has enabled such abuse.)

— Obama’s Tower Of Doom Is Harder To Get Into Than America Itself. In yet another jaw-dropping display of elite hypocrisy, Barack Obama’s Chicago Presidential Center – long derided as the “Tower of Doom” – now requires proof of U.S. citizenship or lawful permanent residency just to enter a ticket giveaway for its grand opening ceremony on June 18, 2026.

LAWYERS WEEKLY
— Being placed on a performance improvement plan (PIP) does constitute an adverse employment action. DD: My Democrat superiors in the federal government never put me on a PIP, but they treated me like they had done that and like I had failed it. They always wanted me a) to become a Democrat and b) to help them get rid of their employees who were Republican, and especially those who were White, male, older, non-poor, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. For Democrats, the federal government exists to hire, retain, and promote Democrats who are minority, female, younger, poor, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time.
