— The mystery of the missing Honorary Trump Plaza sign
http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20161013/NEWS02/161019891/the-mystery-of-the-missing-honorary-trump-plaza-sign
— Would you be unhappy with $780,000 a year? – CLAIRE BUSHEY  (DIERSEN: How much do/did you earn? The most that I ever earned in today’s dollars was a lousy $120,427 a year.  Of course, needless-to-say, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes use that to demonize me, to denigrate me, and to condemn me as being a failed loser and even worse things.)
http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20161013/NEWS04/161019898/would-you-be-unhappy-with-780000-a-year
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The average total compensation for partners at Chicago law firms increased 13 percent in the last two years to $780,000, according to a new study. The growth rate eclipsed New York, where partners in the country’s largest legal market averaged $1.7 million annually, but compensation only went up 5 percent from 2014. By contrast, partners in San Francisco saw their comp shoot up 51 percent to $997,000, according to the report from New York-based legal recruiters Major Lindsey & Africa. The survey sample included more than 2,100 partners from across the country, with 244 from Chicago. The survey only went to lawyers practicing at the country’s largest firms; approximately 8,600 of Cook County’s more than 45,000 lawyers work at such operations. The city’s partners had the 10th highest average compensation among the 14 legal markets ranked by the headhunting firm. Growth in compensation has slowed since the last time the firm conducted the survey: Between 2012 and 2014, comp for the city’s senior lawyers grew nearly 20 percent from $575,000. Chicago’s lower compensation average may stem from the city’s historic practice of making lawyers partner at a younger age, said Jeffrey Lowe, the Washington D.C.-based author of the study. More of the partners taking the survey in Chicago are likely billing at the same rates as associates elsewhere in the country. Chicago’s billing rates, too, are a comparative bargain compared to the rest of the country. Partners in Chicago on average billed at $687 per hour. Only Philadelphia, Atlanta, Dallas, Seattle, Miami and “other” markets had lower rates. Just over a quarter of Chicago’s partners rated themselves as either “not at all” or “not very” satisfied with their compensation.)

— Group home for young mothers proposed for former Wheaton Inn – ERIC SCHELKOPF
http://www.mysuburbanlife.com/2016/10/12/group-home-for-young-mothers-proposed-for-former-wheaton-inn/a8390an/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A group home for new and expectant single mothers is being proposed for the former Wheaton Inn building at 301 W. Roosevelt Road in Wheaton. The Clarendon Hills-based company Love From Above Inc. has a contract to purchase the building from its current owner, PCM Properties LLC, a subsidiary of Invesco PowerShares. The group is set to close on the property in December. Love From Above plans to offer a two-year transitional housing program for women who find themselves in “crisis pregnancies,” said Yvonne Florczak-Seeman, president and founder of Love From Above. A culinary program and fashion design program also will be offered, she said. “We’ll also have a full-blown child care program, where their children will stay within the building,” Florczak-Seeman said. “Babies will be taken care of by volunteers while the moms go to school. We’ll have a full-time licensed teacher on the premises as well who will also work with them on their homework and give classes on finances and mothering classes.” The program would be offered to women 18 to 26 years old, she said, and would serve both expectant mothers and single mothers. The facility would serve up to 12 women. This would be the company’s first facility, which will be called The Butterfly Garden…A Place for Healing and Transformation. Florczak-Seeman, who is 52, experienced an unplanned pregnancy herself when she was 16. “Unfortunately, the choice for me was made to have an abortion,” she said. “I didn’t have any other options. That abortion brought forth some very serious emotional, physical, psychological and spiritual aftermath.” Florczak-Seeman said she wants those in the program to understand “pregnancy is not a terminal disease.” “Pregnancy is not something that will kill them,” she said. “Pregnancy is something that lasts nine months. During that time, they can still continue their education. They can still do what they need to do. They can still have these children and be great mothers, and be successful young ladies in school.”)

DUPAGE POLICY JOURNAL
— Former COD board member Savage asks federal government to shut down DuPage Policy Journal – Chandra Lye  (DIERSEN: Who funds you?  Rich Miller says “I don’t know who funds Illinois Review, but I’m fine with them, too. Stay the heck away.”  David John Diersen funds GOPUSA ILLINOIS (
www.gopillinois.com) and the emails that it has sent out free of charge and without any advertising since 2000.  Those emails have a) gone out each and every morning since 2004 and each and every evening since 2015 and b) included links to more than 247,700 articles and information on many upcoming events.)
http://dupagepolicyjournal.com/stories/511018371-former-cod-board-member-savage-asks-federal-government-to-shut-down-dupage-policy-journal
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The filing questions the independence of the DuPage Policy Journal — alleging it is run by a political organization — and contends it should not be entitled to press exemption from campaign finance laws. Savage’s filing alleges the DuPage Policy Journal is not an independent newspaper, but rather is controlled by the Liberty Principles PAC through Dan Proft. Proft is a businessman, a radio talk-show host and a principal of Local Government Information Services, which owns the DuPage Policy Journal. Proft denied allegations made in the FEC filing and said the newspaper is owned by a private company. “It’s a legitimate newspaper just like any other newspaper,” Proft told the Associated Press. “I’ll put the stories we do on politics and policy up against any other newspaper in the state.” Rich Miller, publisher of the Capital Fax political blog and newsletter, agreed in a post that the problem with the filing is that the newspaper is owned by a private company. “Look, I do not want the federal government defining what is and is not a legit media company,” Miller wrote. “Progress Illinois does good work, but it gets most of its money from SEIU. I don’t know who funds Illinois Review, but I’m fine with them, too. Stay the heck away.” The FEC has 15 days to get a response from those accused in the complaint. It will then make a decision on whether to launch a full investigation.)

GAO hired me in 1980 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job.  IRS hired me in 1971 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job.  The Post Office hired me in 1966 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/wheaton/news/ct-wheaton-single-mothers-home-1007-20161006-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A long-vacant office building in a prominent Wheaton location could be repurposed as a group home for new and expectant single mothers. Built in 1987 as the Wheaton Inn bed-and-breakfast, the 19,813-square-foot, three-story brick building at 301 W. Roosevelt Road, later was used as the offices for Invesco PowerShares, an exchange-traded fund firm. The company relocated to offices in the former Sara Lee building in Downers Grove in July 2012, and since then, the building has been vacant and listed for sale. Now, the Clarendon Hills-based nonprofit group Love from Above has a contract to purchase the building and is proposing to place up to 12 expectant mothers in the house. The group’s founder and CEO, Yvonne Florczak-Seeman, said Love from Above intends to buy the building from Invesco PowerShares subsidiary PCM Properties LLC and use it for a two-year transitional housing program. The building will be known as the Butterfly Garden, she said. “This is for women in college who get pregnant who want to continue their education but don’t want to have an abortion. For them, their choices are parenting or abortion,” Florczak-Seeman said. For Florczak-Seeman, 52, the issue of support during an unplanned pregnancy is a powerful — and personal — one. As a teenager, she experienced an unplanned pregnancy and made the decision to have an abortion — a decision she says she regrets. “Pregnancy is not a terminal illness or a disease,” she said. “It’s a nine month process. We need to empower these girls. Motherhood won’t destroy them; it will mature them. Motherhood or adoption is a beautiful decision. I have been feeling that this kind of program is much needed. There is not one organization that empowers young ladies.” The building will serve as the home for women ages 18 to 26 for two years each, Florczak-Seeman said. The building would have a nursery to care for babies whose mothers want to attend classes. The group also would offer on-site culinary and fashion design programs for mothers, she said. The group, which also would place all of its offices on the first floor of the building, relies on private donors, Florczak-Seeman said. “We are very excited,” she said. Wheaton officials said that while they have received an application from the group, they haven’t yet determined what kind of zoning change, if any, the group’s proposed use would require. PCM Properties LLC bought the building for $2.625 million in 2005 from Kathryn Harbison, who had run the Wheaton Inn bed-and-breakfast.)

TIMES
— Paper favors local GOP hopefuls – David Giuliani  (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, in Illinois, television stations, newspapers, radio stations, websites, etc. a) promote the Democrat Party platform and b) promote candidates who will defend and advance the Democrat Party platform.)
http://www.mywebtimes.com/news/local/paper-favors-local-gop-hopefuls/article_202d7114-9806-5e61-a9cd-a44c6d70a7d2.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Every week, the Illinois Valley Times reaches mailboxes in La Salle County, with stories promoting the candidacies of Republican state representative candidates Jerry Long and David Welter. One of its owners, Dan Proft, is largely mum about the local paper, which is among a string of conservative publications popping up around the state this year. The local paper, which started in July, has no advertising, other than for a nonprofit conservative group to which Proft belongs. The chain was started in the winter by the Chicago-based Liberty Principles PAC, which receives much of its money from Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner. Over the summer, a private corporation, Local Government Information Services Inc., took possession of the papers, Proft said. The company filed its corporate paperwork with the state in mid-August, a few weeks into its management of the papers. The Times asked Proft how the company makes money with its newspapers. “I’m certain you don’t understand how newspapers or businesses make money,” Proft said in an email to a reporter. “In addition to ads, have you ever heard of the concept of subscriptions as a revenue source for newspapers, for example? Are you familiar with the concept of seed capital used to launch and grow a business? I didn’t think so.” Proft said the reporter could not be fair in reporting about his company’s newspapers, suggesting the reporter favors Long’s opponent, Rep. Andy Skoog, D-La Salle. “That makes you an advocate not a journalist. So please make sure Andy Skoog reports your ‘stories’ as in-kind contributions (in his campaign reports),” Proft said in an email. The registered agent for the company is an accountant, which often is the case in corporate filings. The company’s information listed no president, though Proft has confirmed before he is one of the owners. Proft, a former Republican candidate for governor and radio show host, declined to answer whether any seed money for the company came from Liberty Principles PAC. By law, political action committees must report expenditures and donations. He also wouldn’t say whether the papers would stop circulating after the Tuesday, Nov. 8, election. The paper regularly runs stories favorable to Long, of Streator, and Rep. David Welter, R-Morris, who is facing Democrat Martha Shugart, of Morris. The most recent editions contained headlines such as “Long supports Illinois farming” and “Welter seeks district input.” ‘Justifiable grounds’  In March, the state Board of Elections ruled complaints against Liberty Principles and its papers were filed on “justifiable grounds.” The complaints alleged Liberty Principles failed to include proper attribution of its papers’ funding source and coordinated with candidates. In its ruling, the elections board said Liberty Principles was “admonished” to ensure all its political literature and communications identify the PAC as its funder. Specifically, it must include “paid for by” language. At some point afterward, Local Government Information Services took control of the papers. In July and August, the Illinois Valley Times included no ownership information. Now it lists its corporate owner, but still includes no phone number. Skoog tied to Mautino  Liberty Principles, which Proft heads, still involves itself in La Salle County. This week, the group distributed a mailer linking Skoog to his predecessor, Frank Mautino, D-Spring Valley, whose campaign spending is under federal investigation. “Will Andy Skoog be any different than Frank Mautino?” the flier asks. Earlier this year, Skoog publicly asked Mautino to answer questions about his spending. But, like Gov. Rauner, Skoog declined to join calls for Mautino’s resignation as state auditor general, saying he wants investigations completed first.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “He that will not work shall not eat (except by sickness he be disabled). For the labors of 30 or 40 honest and industrious men shall not be consumed to maintain 150 idle loiterers.” — John Smith, 1609  One out of 6 prime-working-age adult males in the United States is not temporarily unemployed, or “between jobs,” or “looking for work.” No, a huge cohort of men in America is now neither employed nor looking for work. They are just skating by on a combination of girlfriends, wives, mothers and government benefits. Their status, argues Nicholas Eberstadt in “Men Without Work,” is a “quiet catastrophe.” Until relatively recently, choosing not to work was a luxury only the wealthy could afford. Everyone else had to keep the wolf from the door (though the temptation to try to live off others has always been with us — see John Smith above). In the 1950s, 98 percent of prime-age males were working or looking for work (i.e., in the labor force). Today it is 88 percent. Recessions have affected labor-force participation, but the downward trend line has been consistent for decades. Only 15 percent of non-working men cite inability to find work as the reason for their idleness. Eberstadt examines the usual explanations. The retirement of baby boomers? It doesn’t account for the decline in work by those aged 25-54 (traditionally, the group most likely to be employed). The participation of prime-age men in the labor force fell from 94.1 percent in 1948 to 84.3 percent in 2015. Aren’t more men in college? If the work patterns of 1965 were obtained today, even accounting for the extra students enrolled in education programs, an additional 10 percent of America’s young men would be employed. “The overwhelming majority of adult male job trainees,” Eberstadt writes, “appear to be job holders already. … Most men enrolled in formal schooling are also in the workforce.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Chicago’s top cop said Thursday one of his officers was seriously beaten at an accident scene because the national focus on police shootings has caused officers to second-guess themselves. Superintendent Eddie Johnson said the patrol officer told him she did not use her gun to defend herself for fear of a backlash.  “She didn’t want her family or the department to go through the scrutiny the next day on national news,” he said. The injured officer, a 17-year Chicago police veteran, got into a struggle with a man who allegedly was high on PCP after she stopped at a crash scene in the Austin community on the West Side on Wednesday morning. The suspect smashed the officer’s face into the pavement repeatedly until she was unconscious, police said.)

But Tonia Khouri, Republican candidate for the 11th Congressional District on the November ballot, had a definite ace in the hole at Tuesday’s candidate fair and forum at Waubonsie Valley High School in Aurora. The event was hosted by the YMCA Youth and Government delegations from Indian Prairie District 204’s three high schools in conjunction with the civics education group Mikva Challenge and the League of Women Voters of Naperville. Khouri was one of eight candidates and one candidate representative appealing for voter and volunteer support. One of her talking points was that while many students aren’t voting constituents, they still can participate in the political process by joining a campaign as a volunteer, making phone calls or handing out literature.)

— Will Illegal Foreign Voters Steal the Election? – Michelle Malkin  (DIERSEN: How many of the many millions who are in America illegally will use their false identifications to vote for Clinton and for the other Democrats?  Ever-increasingly, Democrats side with illegals and against Americans.)
http://www.gopusa.com/?p=15631
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “It could all come down to Colorado.”  That’s the latest conventional wisdom from presidential poll watchers. But it may not be legal American citizens in my adopted home state who choose the next commander in chief. Instead, it could very well be foreign noncitizens voting illegally in the Rocky Mountains — and in other crucial swing states — who seal our country’s fate. Former Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler identified nearly 5,000 noncitizens in Colorado who voted in the 2010 general election. Gessler’s office uncovered upwards of 12,000 noncitizens registered to vote. Liberal groups who oppose stronger election system protections attacked him for trying to verify citizenship status — because God forbid public officials sworn to uphold the rule of law actually do anything to enhance the integrity of our election system! Compounding the problem: The militant immigration expansionist group Mi Familia Vota, connected with the Service Employees International Union, has ramped up its efforts in swing states to facilitate naturalization and registration of Latino voters who will promote the open-borders agenda at the polls. Another rare defender of American sovereignty, Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, fought in court for his state’s right to require citizenship documents from people who register to vote at motor vehicle offices. Last month, a federal appeals court struck down the Kansas law despite the U.S. Constitution’s conferral of responsibility for determining who may vote to states. In a scene straight out of “Alice in Wonderland,” Kobach faced a contempt hearing for battling against those who hold contempt for truly free and fair elections. He was forced to sign an agreement with the ACLU allowing more than 18,000 motor-voter registrants to cast ballots this November while litigation continues. Last year, undercover investigative journalist James O’Keefe and his Project Veritas team blew the whistle on North Carolina political operatives who encouraged people to vote even if they were noncitizens. Like Kobach, O’Keefe endures attacks on his efforts to ensure clean elections by grievance-mongers screaming about phony voter “disenfranchisement.” Never mind that a nonpartisan study in 2014 from Old Dominion University concluded “that 6.4 percent of noncitizens voted in 2008 and 2.2 percent of noncitizens voted in 2010.” Put on your shocked faces: These illegal noncitizen voters overwhelmingly supported Democrats. And their votes were enough to tilt the presidential election results in North Carolina to President Obama, along with handing over “Democratic victories in congressional races including a critical 2008 Senate race (Al Franken’s victory in Minnesota) that delivered for Democrats a 60-vote filibuster-proof majority in the Senate.” The ACLU and other left-wing groups sabotaging voter integrity laws see no voter fraud, hear no voter fraud and speak no voter fraud. Thanks to their efforts, voter ID laws have been tossed in Texas, Wisconsin and North Carolina. Committed to flooding the voting rolls with every last potential Democrat constituent, their operational motto is: No unqualified voter left behind. But J. Christian Adams, a former Justice Department election lawyer in the Voting Rights Section, has exposed the systemic assault on the election process at every level by activist groups funded by liberal billionaire George Soros, including: –Blocking citizenship verification. –Automatic voter registration of welfare recipients without local verification checks. –Massive foreign language ballot expansion. –Obstruction of efforts to include state qualification instructions on voter registration forms. This past week, the Public Interest Law Foundation uncovered thousands of foreign aliens registered to vote in swing states Virginia and Pennsylvania thanks to the federal Motor Voter law. It’s the tip of the iceberg because the studies include just a small sample of counties. Oh, Virginia voters, you’ll be thrilled to know that your top election officials are now trying to cover up the true extent of the scandal. PILF noted that the commissioner of the Virginia Department of Elections issued a written guidance to local election officials instructing them “not to respond to our requests for records pertaining to non-citizen voters.” In Pennsylvania, election officials are so apathetic and incompetent that even when aliens begged to get off the voter rolls because they had never registered to vote in the first place, they were ignored. Catherine Engelbrecht of election integrity activist group True the Vote is right: “Just voting isn’t enough.” Keeping this republic depends on the vigilance of citizens committed to an almost impossible task these days: Making American elections American again.)

COLLEGE FIX
— Black student rejects victimhood status: ‘I am going to break stereotypes’ – WILLIAM NARDI (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, Democrats and RINOs shout at minorities, at women, at younger people, at veterans, and at everyone else that Republicans have caused, are causing, and will forever cause all the problems that minorities, women, younger people, veterans, and everyone else has had, are having, and will have.)
http://www.thecollegefix.com/post/29344/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As a young, black woman, life on campus is not always easy for Roger Williams University freshman Kalasia Richer. But her hardships are not the result of slavery from years past – as her professors and peers like to insist – but instead from the current political persecution she says she faces for being a conservative on a liberal college campus. “I have been told since day one that I would not succeed without the demeaning benefits of affirmative action,” says Richer, 18. “One of my professors actually told me that it’s offensive to say that everyone can achieve the American dream.” Statements like these are common among the liberal academia, who teach that “systemic oppression” and “institutionalized racism” are the most significant factors of whether or not one will achieve success in life. But because Richer doesn’t but into it, she’s mocked and ridiculed and blackballed. “One of my classes is entirely structured around the so-called belief in ‘white privilege,’” she told The College Fix, referring to a humanities elective. “Professors shame white students from speaking up against it, and whenever I do they look at me like I’m a traitor.” According to Richer, a political science major, such classes victimize women of color and force other students to justify their current “oppression.” In an attempt to balance the political climate of her campus, Richer took a position as the secretary of a proposed chapter of the conservative Young Americans for Freedom group. But late last month, student government leaders refused to allow the club to officially be recognized on campus, accusing it of being too similar to the College Republicans. “I was disgusted by the hostility I felt for daring to give a voice to conservatives on campus,” she says. “College is advertised as a place for your mind to grow, but I didn’t realize how much of a lie it was until I saw firsthand how these ‘student leaders’ attempt to dictate how students think on campus.”)

BLOOMINGTON PANTAGRAPH
— Local numbers provide context on income issue – Steve Vogel  (DIERSEN: How financially diverse is your county, your township/ward, your municipality, and your precinct?)
http://www.pantagraph.com/news/opinion/vogel-local-numbers-provide-context-on-income-issue/article_333cee83-5535-57c6-bbc7-4d0999fab26e.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: According to the Economic Policy Institute, a left-leaning Washington think tank, the average 1 percenter family in McLean County earned $679,124 three years ago (the latest data available), while the remaining 99 percent earned an average of $51,440. That means a 1 percenter here makes about 13 times more than the rest of us earn, on average. That ratio puts McLean County pretty much in the middle of a ranking of the nation’s 3,064 counties. Somewhat comforting, I think, especially in the context of some other EPI data. For instance, McLean County’s 1 percenters take in 11.8 percent of the income earned here. That compares with 26 percent in Lake County — the high water mark in Illinois — and the national average of 20.1 percent. The latter two numbers are stunners. A local figure that may trouble egalitarians more is that 41 percent of McLean County’s moolah is made by the top 10 percent of earners. Another way to say that: 10 percent of local households take in 41 cents of every dollar earned here. Yet it’s 57 cents in Lake County, and about 48 cents in all of Illinois and the entire nation. Again, striking numbers. Do you aspire to be a 1 percenter in McLean County? Your family would have to earn at least $365,000 to make the cut — about $24,000 less than the national average. The best (and fresher) news comes from the U.S. Census Bureau. Last year, it says, nearly 5,700 McLean County residents climbed out of poverty. Unfortunately 19,116 McLean County residents are still classified as poor. That’s 11.5 percent of our population — a big number, to be sure, but 3.4 percentage points better than two years ago.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Hillary Clinton wants you to serve your country. The Democratic presidential candidate proposed a new program on Friday aimed at expanding national service volunteer opportunities–for young Americans in particular. Clinton’s National Service Reserve would allow Americans pitch in with ongoing service projects addressing the addiction epidemic or helping the homeless, or perhaps to help provide emergency relief in national disasters and situations such as the water crisis in Flint, Mich. Clinton plans to work with corporations and universities to ensure “reservists” get paid time off to volunteer or, in the case of students, college credit.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/elgin-courier-news/news/ct-ecn-kane-board-members-hours-pension-st-1003-20160930-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Kane County board members must track their hours on timesheets in order to qualify for pensions under a new law Gov. Bruce Rauner recently signed. The county’s Finance Department showed the Finance and Budget Committee newly designed timesheets that will be required to report their hours if they plan to continue with the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund’s (IMRF) pension program. Under the law, newly elected part-time county board members will no longer qualify for taxpayer funded pensions while existing board members will still qualify but must document they worked the required 600 hours a year, according to a law initiated by state Rep. Jack D. Franks (D-Marengo). Rauner signed a bill outlining the changes into law late last month. Kane County board members also serve as commissioners on the Forest Preserve District of Kane County, however, it is a separate governing body that is not addressed in the new law, said John Hoscheit, chairman of the Finance and Budget Committee. The time sheet deals with county board work and must be kept by board members who want to continue participating in the IMRF pension program, he said.)

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— Groupon to turn over workforce data in race discrimination case – CLAIRE BUSHEY  (DIERSEN: Of course, needless-to-say, EEOC wants Groupon to be like GAO.  To get Democrats, minorities, females, younger people, and veterans to apply for jobs at Groupon like they do at GAO and to stay at Groupon like they stay at GAO,  Groupon could become like GAO.  Groupon could learn from GAO by reading all the documents filed in Diersen v. GAO at
https://gopillinois.com/diersen-v-gao-fifth-amended-complaint/.  That lawsuit shows that a) GAO gives preference to job applicants and to its employees who are Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran, and therefore b) discriminates against job applicants and its employees who are Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)
http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20160930/NEWS04/160939981/groupon-to-turn-over-workforce-data-in-race-discrimination-case
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A judge has ordered Groupon to turn over workforce and hiring data to the federal agency charged with investigating companies for job discrimination. U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis ruled on Sept. 21 that the Chicago company will need to provide the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission with demographic information on both its workforce and the men and women logged in its job applicant database. The agency is investigating the company for racial discrimination in hiring. Groupon had been fighting an EEOC subpoena for the data, arguing that it was irrelevant, overly broad and burdensome. Ellis dismissed all three objections. “When investigating a charge of race discrimination, EEOC ‘is authorized to consider where the overall conditions in a workplace support’ the allegations,” Ellis wrote. Two-thirds of Groupon’s U.S. workforce is white, according to a company blog post. Court filings say the company has 1,900 employees in Chicago and received 25,000 job applications between Jan. 1, 2014 and the present. A spokesman for Groupon did not immediately return a request for comment. The agency is investigating a claim by Adrian Stratton, who filed a charge of racial discrimination in October 2014, after the company did not hire him for an open position as vice president of merchandising. But the successful pursuit of Groupon’s data makes the case “much more significant than just a single subpoena,” said Linda Friedman, a name partner at Stowell & Friedman in Chicago who represents plaintiffs in discrimination cases. Like Wall Street, racial minorities are underrepresented in the tech industry. The EEOC can use workforce and hiring data to analyze the racial makeup of a company’s workforce compared to the community in which it recruits. The greater the disparity, the greater the likelihood of discrimination. The agency is exercising its power to broadly investigate a company in the name of the public interest, rather than getting bogged down in the specifics of a single individual’s claim. “A lot of people feel the EEOC has been too quiet and too silent,” she said. “So it’s good to see it’s alive and breathing.”)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Illinois Senate endorsement: Seth Lewis
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/editorials/ct-illinois-senate-endorsements-madigan-rauner-cullerton-edit-20161003-story.html
(FROM THE ENORSEMENT: 23rd District: The remap of legislative districts in Democrats’ favor helped nudge Sen. Tom Cullerton, former Villa Park mayor and a cousin of Senate President John Cullerton, into this seat in 2012. Cullerton has done some things we like. He was lead sponsor of a bill blocked by Republicans to get rid of the unnecessary lieutenant governor’s office. But he doesn’t wander far off his party’s script and should have voted against a budget this spring that was $7 billion out of balance. He voted “present.” Our nod goes to Republican Seth Lewis, an insurance agent from Bartlett, who as a Bartlett Fire Protection District trustee hasn’t been afraid to vote against more spending. He also isn’t afraid to speak against generous pension packages that taxpayers subsidize — including that of his wife, who is a school superintendent. Ouch. We wouldn’t want to be at the dinner table for that discussion.)
— Illinois Senate endorsement: Dan McConchie
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/editorials/ct-illinois-senate-endorsements-madigan-rauner-cullerton-edit-20161003-story.html
(FROM THE ENDORSEMENT: 26th District: This northwest suburban seat opened in April when incumbent Dan Duffy resigned early. Local GOP leaders rallied to Dan McConchie of Hawthorn Woods, who won the March Republican primary. McConchie didn’t get our endorsement in that race, but he’s getting it this time. He has shown a willingness to work across the aisle and dig into policy, including school funding reform and anti-sex trafficking efforts. His opponent, Democrat Kelly Mazeski of Barrington, is an impressive candidate who has been involved in her local government. She characterizes McConchie as “a one-issue” lobbyist who is too socially conservative for the district. We’re not convinced. McConchie left his job with an anti-abortion organization and has shown he is not a one-issue legislator. Let’s give him a chance. McConchie is endorsed.)
— Illinois Senate endorsement: Mel Thillens
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/editorials/ct-illinois-senate-endorsements-madigan-rauner-cullerton-edit-20161003-story.html
(FROM THE ENDORSEMENT: 28th District: We like Sen. Laura Murphy, D-Des Plaines, because she is direct and outspoken. As a former member of the Des Plaines City Council, she advocated canceling a contract with a group opposing O’Hare airport expansion because taxpayers weren’t getting enough for their money. But so far in Springfield, she has stuck to the Democratic playbook, including voting for piecemeal budget bills that expanded government programs but had no real funding attached to them. She also supported a bill at the behest of the state’s largest employee union that was anti-taxpayer. This is a race where taxpayers could say “Enough!” with the budget games. We’re endorsing Republican Mel Thillens of Park Ridge, whose view of government’s role is less, less and less.)
— Illinois Senate endorsement: Michael Amrozowicz
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/editorials/ct-illinois-senate-endorsements-madigan-rauner-cullerton-edit-20161003-story.html
(FROM THE ENDORSEMENT: 31st District: Let’s get one thing out the way: Republican candidate Michael Amrozowicz’s name is pronounced “Am-RO-zo-wits.” The Gurnee resident and former Lake County Republican Party chairman is running against incumbent Sen. Melinda Bush, D-Grayslake, who was elected in 2012 and buoyed by a new, favorable district map. Bush voted against most versions of pension reform and supported a union-backed bill that most editorial boards from Rockford to Carbondale criticized as irresponsible and anti-taxpayer. The state is broke. Taxpayers are tired of shouldering all the promises. Amrozowicz would bring more fiscal sanity to the Senate. He is endorsed.)
— Illinois Senate endorsement: Pamela Althoff
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/editorials/ct-illinois-senate-endorsements-madigan-rauner-cullerton-edit-20161003-story.html
(FROM THE ENDORSEMENT: 32nd District: Sen. Pamela Althoff, R-McHenry, is running for a two-year term and says if re-elected, it will be her last: “I believe in term limits.” Appointed to the seat in 2003, she has represented the northwest suburbs ever since. She has been successful at passing legislation because she lobbies her colleagues on both sides of the aisle and in both chambers. She knows Democrat staff just as well as Republican staff. Not many legislators can say that. We disagreed with her handling of a government consolidation bill this spring — she watered it down — but she still got the bill passed and signed into law. Althoff is endorsed over Democrat Melissa Coyne, a small business owner and community activist from Fox Lake.)
— Illinois Senate endorsement: Sue Rezin
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/editorials/ct-illinois-senate-endorsements-madigan-rauner-cullerton-edit-20161003-story.html
(FROM THE ENDORSEMENT: 38th District: A rematch is underway between Sen. Sue Rezin, R-Morris, and Christine Benson, D-Ottawa. Benson lost to Rezin 46 percent to 54 percent when they faced off in 2012. Benson retired that year as superintendent of Streator Elementary School District 44, which has been struggling with a budget deficit due in part to the state’s inability to make full school payments. But Streator-area voters signaled they are taxed out. They rejected a school referendum to raise property taxes. Rezin would be a stronger advocate for those tax-weary residents. She is a consistent advocate for government consolidation and financial stability. We doubt Benson, who retired with a generous pension and is backed by organized labor, would be as prudent. With Democrats holding their 39-20 advantage over Republicans in the Senate, taxpayers can’t afford to lose another seat. Rezin is endorsed.)
— Illinois Senate endorsement: Michelle Smith
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/editorials/ct-illinois-senate-endorsements-madigan-rauner-cullerton-edit-20161003-story.html
(FROM THE ENDORSEMENT: 49th District: In this southwest suburban district, Sen. Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant, D-Shorewood, is facing Michelle Smith, R-Plainfield, who is the board president in Plainfield School District 202. On the school board, Smith has tried to keep the property tax levy steady while dealing with unpredictability from the state. “Attempting to build a budget every year is like throwing darts blindfolded,” Smith says. Incumbent Bertino-Tarrant should understand the pressure the state’s financial chaos creates in her district — yet she couldn’t bring herself to vote against House Speaker Michael Madigan’s budget, which was $7 billion out of balance. She voted “present.” Votes like that are the reason the state’s finances are a disaster. Smith is strongly endorsed.)
— Illinois Senate endorsement: Paul Schimpf
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/editorials/ct-illinois-senate-endorsements-madigan-rauner-cullerton-edit-20161003-story.html
(FROM THE ENDORSEMENT: 58th District: We know both Republican Paul Schimpf of Waterloo and Democrat Sheila Simon of Carbondale to be dedicated public servants. Schimpf served in the U.S. Marine Corps and was an adviser to Iraqi prosecutors during the trial of Saddam Hussein. Simon was lieutenant governor under Pat Quinn. But here’s a case where voters in Southern Illinois can demand change. The economy in this part of the state is desperate for revitalization. Democratic policies have not worked. Schimpf supports workers’ comp changes to make Illinois more business-friendly. He also supports tort reform and term limits. Schimpf is endorsed.)
— Illinois Senate endorsement: Dale Fowler
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/editorials/ct-illinois-senate-endorsements-madigan-rauner-cullerton-edit-20161003-story.html
(FROM THE ENDORSEMENT: 59th District: It’s strange that Sen. Gary Forby, D-Benton, claims to be a fiscal steward, often proclaiming that the state should retire its massive pile of unpaid bills. Then he voted in May for House Speaker Michael Madigan’s spending plan, which everyone knew was $7 billion short. He didn’t have to vote for it. Most Democratic senators did not. Remember that, voters of this district, when you show up to cast a ballot on Nov. 8. A better choice is Dale Fowler, mayor of Harrisburg, who knows what “reckless spending” actually means. Fowler is endorsed.)
— FROM THE ARTICLE: 22nd District: Tracy Smodilla of Bartlett, didn’t run in the primary but managed to ward off a Democratic challenge as a last-minute slated Republican. She’s smart, outspoken and fiscally conservative. She is not afraid to stand up to, well, anyone. She successfully fought an unnecessary tax increment financing district in her hometown. We hope to see her name on future ballots.

http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/naperville-sun/ct-nvs-dupage-county-early-voting-st-1002-20160930-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Early voting  Early voting started Thursday in the DuPage County, and has already drawn hundreds of residents eager to cast ballots in a presidential election expected to draw 80 percent of the county’s registered voters. “Early voting has started! We can vote for Hillary today! Then we’ll get a glass of wine,” said Maureen Quirk, of Wheaton, who joined co-worker Debbie Szydlo, of Carol Stream, at the Wheaton-based election commission office Friday afternoon to make official their votes for the Democratic presidential candidate. “She needs suburban white women. Well, here we are,” Quirk said. About 160 voters Thursday and nearly 200 Friday filled out ballots to vote for president, U.S. Senate, DuPage County offices and other races at the 421 N. County Farm Road office, said Joseph Sobecki, assistant executive director of the DuPage County Election Commission. The site is the first early polling place in DuPage County. Nearly a dozen more are scheduled to open around the county Oct. 24 and will operate through Nov. 7. Election Day is Nov. 8. The crowd Friday wasn’t exclusively made up of Democrats or Clinton supporters. Voters Bob and Carole Rutan, both 74, of Wheaton, said they are registered Republicans although they declined to name their candidate of choice. “I don’t like either one of them that much,” Carole Rutan said. The couple said they wanted to vote before heading to Florida later in October. Sobecki said he and his staff are preparing for record voter turnout — expected to be as high as 80 percent — in this year’s general election. The spring primary election drew a record number of DuPage County voters, with nearly 290,000 ballots cast. “It was the highest total number we’ve had since we recorded primaries,” Sobecki said. “We expect that trend to continue for the general election.”)

ILLINOIS REVIEW
— JOSHUA NAPONIELLO: MY DAY WITH DONALD TRUMP IN BOLINGBROOK  (DIERSEN: Those who spoke very highly of Trump at this outstanding event included Roger Claar and Rudy Giuliani.  The 300+ attendees included John Cabello, Brad Cole, Dan Cronin, Demetra DeMonte, Kirk Dillard, Ron Gidwitz, Dan Hampton, David MacNeil, Richard Porter, Todd Ricketts, Skip Saviano, Tim Schneider, Mickey Straub, and Dave Tornga.)
http://illinoisreview.typepad.com/illinoisreview/2016/09/naponiello-my-day-with-donald-trump-in-bolingbrook.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: How crazy is it that I ended up volunteering for perhaps the next president of the United States?  I mean you would have thought that by talking to Roger Claar the Mayor of Bolingbrook, I would volunteer at a Trump fundraiser! I can only say it was the best event that I have worked on in my early political life. Setting up tables was a challenge but greeting people by the door was amazing. Friendly faces, attitudes, familiar faces like (former State Senator) Kirk Dillard, (Bolingbrook Mayor) Roger Claar and (Chicago Cubs’ owner) Todd Ricketts.  I also had the pleasure of sitting next to (former New York City Mayor) Rudy Giuliani during the lunch. The speech that Trump delivered was electrifying. Reducing regulations, repealing Obamacare, and lowering taxes on the middle class. Straight to the point concise, was how his speech was, and everyone stood and applauded our future president of the United States. Unfortunately, there was a negative point, as I was called traitor and fake by Mexican protesters against Trump, yet I kept my smile and head straight up and continued to help Trump. After the event I traveled outside to see Trump supporters waving American flags and chanting “USA,USA,USA”. I got to talk to some of the Trump supporters and we discussed Trump at the first debate. Another highlight was being quoted in a Chicago Tribune story, link here https://www.google.com/amp/www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/bolingbrook-plainfield/news/ct-nvs-trump-bolingbrook-st-0929-20160928-story,amp.html  Otherwise I had a great time and learned from Trump what it means to be a leader. Joshua Naponiello is a 19 year old student at College of DuPage.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Chicago police banned from threatening immigrants under Emanuel-backed measure – John Byrne  (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, the Democrats who run Chicago a) encourage people to come to America illegally, b) encourage people to stay in America illegally, and c) encourage people to bring people to America illegally.)

— Just say no to Narcan? Heroin rescue efforts draw backlash – AP  (DIERSEN: Untended consequences SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unintended_consequences  “In the social sciences, unintended consequences (sometimes unanticipated consequences or unforeseen consequences) are outcomes that are not the ones foreseen and intended by a purposeful action.”)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/sns-bc-us–heroin-overdoses-backlash-20160925-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: First responders in U.S. communities reeling from waves of heroin overdoses say some people tell them they should just say no to using so many resources on drug abusers. Authorities say people have expressed frustration about rescuing addicts who often immediately resume using the potentially deadly drug. There are also concerns voiced about the wide-ranging social and government budget costs involved, including for the overdose antidote naloxone. Some signs of heroin overdose backlash: — Gov. Paul LePage in hard-hit Maine vetoed legislation this year to expand access to naloxone, usually under the brand name Narcan. He has explained that when people are receiving a dozen or more doses, they should start having to pay for it. The Legislature overrode his veto. — An effort by authorities in Ohio’s Hamilton County to get a dangerous heroin batch off the streets by offering immunity for people who turn in drugs drew a rebuke from Sheriff Richard Jones in neighboring Butler County, who argued it only enables dealers and users and gives them an excuse if they are caught. — A police photo of a grandmother and her boyfriend unconscious after overdosing with a 4-year-old boy in their car went viral this month after the police department in Ohio’s East Liverpool posted it on Facebook, drawing thousands of comments including from people decrying lenience toward users who endanger children or steal to support their habits. — A retired attorney wrote an op-ed column in The Cincinnati Enquirer examining the costs of treating heroin addiction, the strain on public resources and the rise in “drugged driving” accidents as he urged aggressive punishment. “What social policy is advanced by subsidizing recklessness?” John M. Kunst Jr., of suburban Cincinnati, wrote earlier this year. “Why do we excuse and enable addiction?” “I understand the frustration,” said Police Chief Thomas Synan Jr. of Newtown, Ohio, who heads a Cincinnati-area heroin coalition task force. “I understand the feeling that someone is doing something to themselves, so why do the rest of us have to pay? But our job is to save lives, period.”)
— Millionaire mayor Rahm Emanuel finds $5.62 smoothie ‘a little pricey’ – Bill Ruthhart  (DIERSEN: From what I see, if you do not have at least $1 million in investable assets or if you are not track to have at least $1 million in investable assets by the time you retire, you are in big trouble financially.)

No one else provides an email service that even comes close to what Diersen does.)
https://medium.com/@savethechicagoreader/help-us-win-the-fight-for-the-reader-its-bold-writing-must-be-saved-346102289da2#.5t2605vze
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As much as I may not like to admit it, I’m the old guy on the Reader staff. And so I’m writing on behalf of all the employees in our guild bargaining unit. My first Reader story – a freelanced restaurant review – ran in 1977, before many of my current colleagues were even born. I started covering politics for the paper in 1984. I’ve been a staff writer since 1990. That’s long enough for me to have learned a thing or two about what makes this paper so great. Yes, the Reader runs provocative theater, music, film, and food criticism, but just as important, its editors give writers the freedom to tell it like it is, even if we irritate the hell out of the powers that be.)

— Federal Workforce: Lessons Learned for Engaging Millennials and Other Age Groups (DIERSEN: While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, my Democrat superiors focused on a) hiring, retaining, and promoting young Democrat minorities and young Democrat females and b) making way for them by getting rid of their employees who were Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)
http://www.gao.gov/products/GAO-16-880T
(FROM THE ARTICLE: With more than 30% of federal employees eligible to retire by 2019, a lot of jobs could open up that the current federal workforce can’t fill. So, the government needs to recruit and retain the next generation of workers. Strong employee engagement—a positive feeling about one’s employer and its mission—tends to help agencies hire and keep employees. You might think that millennials are less engaged than other age groups, but the data in this testimony showed that engagement doesn’t vary much by age. Engagement increases for everyone when agencies demonstrate that they value their employees.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-illinois-unauthorized-immigration-decline-met-20160920-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The number of unauthorized immigrants residing in Illinois dropped by 10 percent, or 50,000 people, between 2009 and 2014 — something experts say has been key to Chicago’s recent population loss. “So much of the population growth in this region was based on legal and undocumented immigration. This closes the plug on the growth we’ve had,” said Rob Paral, a Chicago-based demographer who advises nonprofits and community groups. “Undocumented immigrants were a substantial piece of the picture, and that era is behind us.” In 2014, about 450,000 unauthorized immigrants lived in Illinois, compared with about 500,000 in 2009, according to a study released Tuesday by the Pew Research Center. While most states saw no significant change in their unauthorized immigrant populations during the five-year period, Illinois is among seven states that saw their populations decline, primarily due to a drop in the number of unauthorized immigrants from Mexico. The population of unauthorized Mexican immigrants has declined nationwide as well because of the sluggish U.S. economic recovery and stricter border enforcement. But the country’s overall count of unauthorized immigrants remained stable through 2014 due to a spike in unauthorized immigrants from Asia, Central America and sub-Saharan Africa, according to the report, which bases its findings on data collected by the U.S. Census Bureau.)

In my defense, not that I need to defend myself, unlike many if not most of my worthless critics/opponents, and unlike virtually all their worthless operatives and worthless dupes, I am financially secure.  I can afford to spend the thousands of dollars and thousands of hours each year necessary to put together and send out GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails.  He who pays the piper calls the tunes.  I do not want anyone to call my tunes.  I am fortunate enough that I do not have ask anyone for money.  As everyone including Rich Miller knows, GOPUSA ILLINOIS email subscriptions are worth at least $1,000/year.)
http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20160920/NEWS06/160929982
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Sun-Times Media suburban reporters who began working out of cars and coffee shops in 2012 after their offices closed now have a chance to improve their lot at Tronc. They became part of Tronc in 2014 after its predecessor, Tribune Publishing, bought the suburban dailies and weeklies from the Sun-Times’ parent, Wrapports. Now, negotiations on a new contract for the 30 editorial employees represented by the Chicago News Guild are scheduled to start next week. It will be the first contract negotiated for the workers since they shifted from Chicago’s no. 2 newspaper operation to the city’s biggest. Tension is already building in advance of the expiration of the current contract at the end of the year. The union today posted a lengthy report of one Evanston Review reporter’s travails with management, and an unfair labor practice charge that was filed by the union last month with the National Labor Relations Board on his behalf. The union alleges the reporter was transferred from one suburban paper to another as retaliation for his complaining about a news story and exercising his contractual right to withhold his byline from the piece. “Within days of him asking to withhold his byline, he was transferred,” says Craig Rosenbaum, who is executive director of the union. Tronc spokeswoman Dana Meyer said it was not retaliation. “The company respects the collective agreement with Pioneer Press and has worked within the terms and conditions of that agreement,” she said in a statement. “There have been incidents where a reporter has asked to have their name removed and we consistently accommodate those requests. The agreement specifically identifies rules for transferring an employee and we adhere to these rules.”)
