http://www.poppot.org/2017/03/27/problems-from-trauma-persist-adulthood/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A long-term study from Denmark, explored a number psychological factors that may or may not have adverse outcomes on the children. The Danish study determined that parental factors most likely to create either violent or suicidal tendencies in adulthood are 1) parents who used marijuana; 2) having parents who are sociopaths or 3) having parents who attempt suicide.   In other words, marijuana abuse is far more serious in predicting adverse behavioral outcomes than other parental mental health conditions such as bipolar disorder and alcoholism.)

http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20170328/discuss/170328942/
— District 200 officials again ask voters to approve Jefferson plan – Katlyn Smith  (JAN SHAW: The article is definitely pro-referendum.  While what is says may be technically true, it is incomplete. Like much of the “yes” literature it is misleading on the cost.  It says “The owner of a $322,300 home — the average in the district — would pay $180 to $295 annually in additional taxes for the first nine years of the loans.” They leave out, that the same home is projected to pay $531/year for the last 10 years.  See:  Download estimated impact as PDF (http://www.cusd200.org/cms/lib7/IL01001538/Centricity/Domain/2137/Referendum%20Homeowner%20Impact.pdf) They claim that bringing all its early learning services under one roof will be a big enough improvement to warrant the cost of the new building.  Yet, in 2013, Jan Shaw put in a FOIA to try to find out how much money the district was spending on pre-k support staff that traveled (i.e. physical therapists) and was told he couldn’t run the numbers because many work with elementary students as well. The truth is Jefferson could use some work.  But, like many of our homes we need to prioritize and sometimes things must wait until we’ve paid off the debt that we’ve already run up.  With what the district spent on Hubble, had they built a Hubble more in line with the other 3 middle schools, they could have built a new Jefferson at the same time for the same money.)

CNN
— 1 in 4 workers have less than $1,000 saved for retirement – Katie Lobosco  (DIERSEN: How much have you saved for your retirement? In today’s dollars, at the end of 1977, when I was 29 years old, IRS was paying me $87,520 (GS-12 Step 4) and I had contributed $26,881 into the Civil Service Retirement System.)
http://money.cnn.com/2017/03/21/retirement/retirement-confidence-ebri/index.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Almost one-quarter of workers said they and their spouse combined have less than $1,000 saved for retirement, according to a report from the Employee Benefit Research Institute. Nearly half of everyone surveyed said they had less than $25,000. Sure, $25,000 can sound like a lot. But it’s a reasonable goal to have that much stashed away by the time you’re 30 years old. Someone in their early 30s earning $50,000 a year should have about $30,000 saved, according to one calculator. This it totally doable if that person has been saving 10% of their income annually, which is the rule-of-thumb suggested by many financial planners. But more than one-third of those surveyed said they’re saving less than that. When it’s time to retire, most people believe they’ll need at least $500,000. (Though, 41% couldn’t even guess how much their nest egg should be.) There’s one big difference between those who are on track and those who aren’t. Most of those workers who said they’ve saved less than $1,000 don’t have access to a savings account like a 401(k) at work. There are roughly 55 million workers in the U.S. who don’t have access to an employer-sponsored plan. To try to help those Americans, President Obama launched a program called the myRA. It’s a starter retirement account that’s similar to a Roth IRA and sponsored by the federal government. But you can only save up to $15,000 in the myRA, and you can’t invest that money in a diversified portfolio — only in a set of conservative investments.)

They can cite the fact that the Mayor of Wheaton publicly insults me.)

— Many older adults worse off under GOP health plan – Dean Olsen (DIERSEN: How much of a problem has health care insurance been for you?  For me, it has not been a problem because I had Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) insurance when I was a federal employee and my wife and I continue to have FEHB insurance because I am federal retiree.  We pay $5,763 a year and the federal government pays $17,288 a year for our health, dental, and vision insurance.  I addition, we are both covered my Medicare. Together, we pay $2,731 a year for that.)

Beeson, who has Type 2 diabetes, said he values his Health Alliance insurance policy, which he obtained through Illinois’ health insurance exchange with federal subsidies to reduce the monthly premium to $116.)

Put another way, those who took the class exhibited lower levels of impulsive behavior. “We see evidence that we can teach people self-control,” says William DeHart, a graduate student at Utah State University and one of the authors of the study, which appeared in PLOS ONE, a scientific journal published by the Public Library of Science, in July 2016.)

— Yes, Illinois has a budget problem, but legalizing marijuana won’t fix it – Stephen Petersen, Downers Grove
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/letters/ct-yes-illinois-has-a-budget-problem-but-legalizing-marijuana-won-t-fix-it-20170324-story.html
(FROM THE LETTER:  Do state Sen. Heather Steans and state Rep. Kelly Cassidy have no shame? The thought of legalizing marijuana for the purpose of raising revenue from the manufacture and sale of marijuana is yet one more example of stealing from the futures of our children to pay for lawmakers’ pet projects today. I have two children in high school and one in middle school. They are good kids, get good grades, and are active in scouts and the community. I hear stories from them of what some of the other students are up to at Downers Grove North. I read about the heroin epidemic and grieve for the families that have recently lost children. My children tell me they just say no, and I believe them. But I also know what I was up to when I was in high school, and there but by the grace of God go I. I know that Illinois has a budget problem and have been told by Democrats for many years that there is literally nowhere to cut. I have also seen with my own eyes much of the graft in city and state contracting. The Democrats’ positioning is that there are no options but to raise taxes. These lawmakers want to raise taxes through drug use, and I find that despicable. For whatever reason, there has been no grand bargain on expanded gambling for expanded revenue, and that’s got to hurt. Prostitution is still illegal in Illinois, however not rare. My heart goes out to the young ladies and their families whose revenue potentials will be eyed next. Democratic leadership has already spent more money for today than our kids and grandkids could possibly pay back in their lifetimes, so that must make the politicians proud. Their idea of promoting and taxing drug use is a good one to keep money flowing in, but bodes poorly for future generations. By the time the bill comes due these two legislators will be living on their fat, taxpayer-provided pensions, so what do they care? What if there are no public taxpayers left in Illinois to pay it? Steans and Cassidy must think carefully about what they’re doing. And in the meantime, try not to string out the kids for their comfort.)

— DISGUSTING: Colorado weighs strategy for guarding against pot crackdown – AP  (DIERSEN: If you promote pot, you are NOT a Republican. If you got elected to or appointed to a government or to a political position as a Republican, and you promote pot, you should immediately resign so that you can be replaced with a Republican.  If you promote pot, you are a Democrat, a Libertarian, or a Green.  You are anti-Republican, anti-conservative, anti-religious, and anti-American.)
http://www.wsiltv.com/story/34995922/colorado-weighs-strategy-for-guarding-against-pot-crackdown
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Colorado is considering an unusual strategy to protect its nascent marijuana industry from a potential federal crackdown, even at the expense of hundreds of millions of dollars in tax collections. A bill pending in the Legislature would allow pot growers and retailers to reclassify their recreational pot as medical pot if a change in federal law or enforcement occurs. It’s the boldest attempt yet by a U.S. marijuana state to avoid federal intervention in its weed market. The bill would allow Colorado’s 500 or so licensed recreational pot growers to instantly reclassify their weed. A switch would cost the state more than $100 million a year because Colorado taxes medical pot much more lightly than recreational weed – 2.9 percent versus 17.9 percent. The measure says licensed growers could immediately become medical licensees “based on a business need due to a change in local, state or federal law or enforcement policy.” The change wouldn’t take recreational marijuana off the books, but it wouldn’t entirely safeguard it either. What it could do is help growers protect their inventory in case federal authorities start seizing recreational pot. The provision is getting a lot of attention in the marijuana industry following recent comments from members of President Donald Trump’s administration. White House spokesman Sean Spicer has said there’s a “big difference” between medical and recreational pot. Sponsors of the bill call it a possible exit strategy for the new pot industry. It’s hard to say how many businesses would be affected, or if medical pot would flood the market, because some businesses hold licenses to both grow and sell marijuana in Colorado. The state had about 827,000 marijuana plants growing in the retail system in June, the latest available data. More than half were for the recreational market. “If there is a change in federal law, then I think all of our businesses want to stay in business somehow. They’ve made major investments,” said Sen. Tim Neville, a suburban Denver Republican who sponsored the bill. If federal authorities start seizing recreational pot, Colorado’s recreational marijuana entrepreneurs “need to be able to convert that product into the medical side so they can sell it,” Neville said. His bill passed a committee in the Republican Senate 4-1 last week.)

DAILY WIRE
— At What Age Do Millennials Consider Themselves Adults? The Answer Will Stun You. – AARON BANDLER  (DIERSEN: At what age were you an adult, that is, at what age did you start paying all your own bills?  For me, it was age 21 in 1970, when I started working for Firestone Stores in Chicago Heights.  I paid not only all my own bills, I helped pay my mother’s and brother’s bills. My father had died suddenly in October of 1969 and I had applied for and I eventually got a financial hardship draft deferment.  I was able to buy a new town home in University Park when I was 24 in 1972.)
http://www.dailywire.com/news/14747/what-age-do-millennials-consider-themselves-adults-aaron-bandler
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A new report has found that millennials don’t consider themselves adults until they reach the age of 30. Yes, you read that correctly. According to The Wrap, research compiled by David Poltrack, CBS’ chief research officer and their ratings expert, as well as Nielsen Catalina Solutions, found that millennials consider themselves adults at age 30 because that’s when they typically are completely responsible for themselves – they no longer reside with their parents and pay entirely for their own bills.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Some of the signs, which were shared exclusively with Campus Reform, contained racially-charged language that peddled prejudiced and racist views toward white people. For example, one sign read, “Dear white people, there is no such thing as being ‘colorblind.’ You are perpetuating racism and white supremacy.” Another sign read, “Dear white people, black people can’t be racist. Prejudice, yes, but not racist. Racism describes a system of disadvantage based on race. Black people can’t be racist since we don’t stand to benefit from such a system.” Another sign peddled white stereotypes while insinuating all white people place black people in a box: “Dear white people, are you tired of your hum drum, Wonderbread existence of accidental racism and wishing you could sip on Henny out yo crunk cup without a bitch giving you the side-eye? Course you are.”)

http://www.mystateline.com/news/local-leaders-and-residents-react-to-potential-marijuana-legislation/680408773
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “it’s something that get’s discussed every year and it’s a chance for people to debate the issue, look at the pro’s and con’s,” said Senator Dave Syverson. “I wouldn’t think it’s going to move at all this year,” he added. Syverson is against the implementation of the bill. He says the risks of recreational marijuana outweigh the benefits. “We have a substantial increase in driving under the influence,” said Syverson. “In fact a couple of states have said they have been giving out more tickets for people driving under the influence of marijuana than the influence of alcohol,” he added.)

 

ALTON DAILY NEWS
— TRAGIC: Effort Underway to Legalize All Pot – Greg Bishop
http://altondailynews.com/news/details.cfm?clientid=17&id=239859#.WNZCAxHxZZI
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Anita Bedell, executive director of Illinois Church Action on Alcohol & Addiction Problems, said, “Just because something brings in revenue doesn’t mean it’s a good idea. They’re not considering the harm, they’re not considering costs.” Proponents also say it will spur on jobs. Bedell said, “So has gambling, so has other things … there’s always going to be money in some things, but this is not a good way to have money for Illinois, and it would just cause more harm and cause more damage.” Illinois Family Institute’s David Smith opposes legalization and said there would still be a black market. “The guy on the street that’s selling the pot doesn’t have to have the brick and mortar and the overhead and the employees and the insurance, and the workman’s comp,” Smith said. Smith also dismissed proponents who say illegal marijuana is a criminal justice issue because, he said, there are a very small number of inmates in the system for drug possession only. The Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police said they oppose the bill because of the traffic safety concerns.)

Governor Sanguinetti; Illinois Senators Connelly and Nybo; Illinois Representatives Breen and Ives; DuPage County officials Berlin, Bucholz, Cantore, Cronin, DiCianni, Eckhoff, Elliott, Grant, Grogan, Henry, Hinds, Jorgensen, Kachiroubas, Larsen, Murphy, Noonan, Redick, Ruscitti, Whelan, Wiley, Zaruba, and Zay; Milton Township officials Falbo, Heidorn, Hinkle, Keller, LeVan, Molitor, Muehlfelt, and Nathwani; and all the MTRCC members.)
http://www.wsiltv.com/story/34974887/illinois-lawmakers-consider-ending-marijuana-prohibition
(FROM THE ARTICLE:  Illinois lawmakers are considering a plan to regulate and tax legal marijuana use for adults. Legislation introduced in the House and Senate Wednesday would allow adults 21 and older to purchase marijuana legally from a business licensed by the state. The Senate bill, SB 316, is sponsored by Senate Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Heather Steans (D-Chicago), while the House version, HB 2353, was presented by Rep. Kelly Cassidy (D-Chicago). “Marijuana prohibition is a quagmire that creates far more problems than it prevents,” Cassidy said. “Several states have adopted sensible alternatives to prohibition, and it is time for Illinois to develop its own exit strategy.” Each bill would make it legal to possess, grow, and purchase limited amounts of marijuana. The state would license and regulate businesses to cultivate, process, test, and sell marijuana to adults, and it would create and enforce strict health and safety regulations, such as testing and labeling requirements and restrictions on marketing. “Right now, all the money being spent on marijuana is going into the pockets of criminals and cartels,” Steans said. “In a regulated system, the money would go into the cash registers of licensed, taxpaying businesses. It would generate hundreds of millions of dollars per year in new revenue for our state.”  The bills propose taxing marijuana at a rate of $50 per ounce at the wholesale level, and retail sales would be subject to the state’s standard 6.25% sales tax. Based on current usage rates and the market price of marijuana being sold for adults’ use in Colorado, the Marijuana Policy Project estimates regulated marijuana sales could generate between $349 million and $699 million per year in new revenue for Illinois.)

The elected officials also are eligible to receive medical and dental insurance through the district. Commissioner Tim Whelan is questioning whether it’s a good idea to end the practice of offering pensions. He said the pension is an incentive for commissioners “to put in the time to benefit the taxpayers.” Whelan is one of five commissioners enrolled in IMRF.

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/mar/20/cinco-de-mayo-canceled-mexicans-fear-trump-deporta/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Cinco de Mayo celebration called El Carnaval de Puebla, held each year in Philadelphia, has just been suddenly canceled — and in short order, it’s due to President Donald Trump. Why? The normal and usual Mexican holiday participants are worried they might get deported. This is a good thing. For years, under Barack Obama, the law-abiding of the nation have watched with a wintry mix of outrage and disbelief as the nation’s illegals stood at podiums — public podiums, immigration officials be hanged — to shed tears for their entitlement rights, and demand the mean ol’ Republicans who want to deport them get in the amnesty line. Jose Antonio Vargas was probably the worse-case scenario of a face-slapping to America’s border control laws. Remember Vargas? He was the guy who penned a long-winded heart-puller in New York Times Magazine entitled, “My Life as an Undocumented Immigrant.” Was he arrested? No. Shortly after writing another piece about the plight of the illegals — to include his personal struggles in a country like America with borders — Team Obama announced the halting of deportation of those age 30 and under who met certain DREAM Act circumstances. Vargas was also the guy who called his illegal self an American — that he just didn’t “have the right papers.” Right. But he was hardly the only illegal in America, under the Obama administration, to boldly go forth as an illegal — to demand equal rights to citizens. Thousands of others took part in public events, outright outing their illegal statuses, outright casting deportation concerns to the wind. And why wouldn’t they? Obama had an open door policy at the border — an open door policy that led him, in the days before the last presidential election, to pretty much encourage those without voting rights to, well, get to the ballot boxes and vote, anyway. His message: Because who’s going to deport them?  When asked in late 2016 by a member of the media if undocumented citizens, dreamers — “I call them citizens” — got in the election game and voted, would immigration officials then know their location and deport them, Obama’s response: “Not true. And the reason is first of all when you vote you are a citizen yourself. And there is not a situation where the voting rolls somehow are transferred over and people start investigating.” Go on, Obama egged. Vote. Nobody’s checking — not in my administration, anyway. Well, new administration. And now illegals across the nation seem to be getting the message that the new sheriff in the White House isn’t so blind to the borders. Typically, up to 15,000 gather in South Philadelphia each year for the Cinco de Mayo celebration. But this year? Different story, it seems. In recent times, Trump’s border control officials have arrested or detained hundreds of illegals. Why just within the last few days, 248 were detained in Pennsylvania, Delaware and West Virginia during a mass federal raid that lasted about two weeks. As such, illegals everywhere are starting to think: Hey, maybe we ought not strut about as if we’re citizens any longer. Good idea. “The group of six organizers decided to cancel unanimously,” said Edgar Ramirez, one of the Cinco de Mayo organizers, to a local NBC affiliate about the fate of the event. “Everyone is offended by the actions of ICE. They did not feel comfortable holding the event.” Ramirez’s comments were meant to be critical — were meant to demonstrate just how Trump’s crackdowns were causing undue chaos in the illegal community. But sorry, no sympathy here. For the law-abiding in America, Ramirez’s announcement is just yet another feel-good moment for the election of Trump — another chance to breathe a collective sigh of relief that the adults are back in charge and order, justice and law once again count.)

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/20/opinion/no-crackdown-on-illegal-employers.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Trump began his campaign assailing immigrants as ruthless lawbreakers who steal American jobs with impunity. To halt them, he has vowed to build a wall along the border with Mexico, hire thousands of new immigration agents, ramp up immigrant detention and subject visa applicants to even more rigorous vetting. His administration has been largely silent, however, about the strongest magnet that has drawn millions of immigrants, legal and not, to the United States for generations: jobs. American employers continue to assume relatively little risk by hiring undocumented immigrants to perform menial, backbreaking work, often for little pay. Meanwhile, as Mr. Trump’s deportation crackdown accelerates, families are being ripped apart, and communities of hard-working immigrants with deep roots in this country are gripped by fear and uncertainty. As long as employers remain off the hook, a border wall and an expanded dragnet can only make temporary dents in the flows of undocumented immigrants.)

http://www.fox32chicago.com/news/local/242518816-story
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The owners of a longtime Ravenswood musical instrument store say they are shutting down and leaving Chicago because they are Trump supporters. Worlds of Music Chicago co-owner Suzzane Monk shared her frustration in a letter to Crain’s Chicago Business: “From the constant protests blocking roads and businesses, to the attacks on Trump supporters, to the verbal and online bullying going on every day across this city, Chicago, you have made it quite clear that Trump supporters are not welcome. When my fellow Chicagoans praised the riot at UIC that shut down the Chicago Trump rally I attended, I was angry and ashamed. Since I am not one to be silent, I have been bullied. My husband and our music store, Worlds of Music Chicago, are still being bullied. Sadly, my story is not unique. Other Chicago Trump supporters are experiencing the same hate, bullying and intimidation.

Damen, will close at the end of April. Her letter to Crain’s follows an unsuccessful GoFundMe campaign titled “Save Music Store From Trump Haters.” That campaign had a goal of $30,000, but as of March 18, had only raised $5,955.)

http://www.centralillinoisproud.com/news/politics/whats-neil-gorsuchs-religion-its-complicated/675237663
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Eventually, the conversation turned to Gorsuch’s own religious background. He was raised Catholic, but now worships with his wife and two daughters at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Boulder, Colorado. Like the city, the congregation is politically liberal. It bars guns from its campus and installed solar panels; it condemns harsh rhetoric about Muslims and welcomes gays and lesbians. And its rector, the Rev. Susan Springer, attended the Women’s March in Denver, though not as a form of protest but as a sign of support for “the dignity of every human being.” Springer says St. John’s is carrying out the covenant Episcopalians recite during baptisms: to strive for justice and peace among all people. Her congregation, she added, includes liberals, conservatives and all political points in between. “What binds us together as one body is a curiosity and longing to encounter and know God,” she wrote in an email to CNN, “a willingness to explore our own interior selves, and a desire to leave the world in some small way better for our having been in it.”)

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— Two choices for Trump supporters in Chicago: Be silent or be bullied – SUZZANNE MONK  (DIERSEN: How nasty are the anti-Trumps in your precinct, in your municipality, in your township/ward, and in your county?  One would expect that the fewer votes that Trump got in the aforesaid jurisdictions, the nastier that the anti-Trumps would be there. One would expect that the more religious, government, political, and/or financial clout that anti-Trumps have in the aforesaid jurisdictions, the nastier that the anti-Trumps would be there.)
http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20170317/ISSUE07/170319882/two-choices-for-trump-supporters-in-chicago-be-silent-or-be-bullied
(FROM THE LETTER: For 24 years, I have loved living in Chicago with my husband, a native Chicagoan. I have loved doing business in Chicago. The food, the sports, the culture and the arts, and the diversity of people have been a fertile ground for our life, and I have been proud to call myself a Chicagoan anywhere I went in the world. But for the last year I have not loved living in Chicago. I am ashamed of you, Chicago, and the intolerance you now accept in the name of politics. You see, I am a Trump supporter. My husband is a Trump supporter, too. And because we support Trump, we no longer feel proud, or safe, being in this city. Chicago, you have always been a Democrat-run town, but this year you have become a one-party city terrorizing anyone not in your party for their beliefs. From the constant protests blocking roads and businesses, to the attacks on Trump supporters, to the verbal and online bullying going on every day across this city, Chicago, you have made it quite clear that Trump supporters are not welcome. When my fellow Chicagoans praised the riot at UIC that shut down the Chicago Trump rally I attended, I was angry and ashamed. You have made it quite clear, there are two choices for Trump supporters in Chicago: Be silent about your politics or be bullied for them. Since I am not one to be silent, I have been bullied. My husband and our music store, Worlds of Music Chicago, are still being bullied. Our store has had to cut employee hours due to the bullying, and soon we will have to cut our employee altogether. We will close at the end of April, because we are no longer willing to subject our staff, our customers, our neighbors and ourselves to the daily risk. Sadly, my story is not unique. Other Chicago Trump supporters are experiencing the same hate, bullying and intimidation. If you need any further evidence of Trump supporters being unwelcome, you need merely turn on the local news, pick up a local paper or read your alderman’s latest newsletter bashing and misrepresenting our president. So, after 25 years, after a lifetime for my husband, we have to leave. In the end, it wasn’t the high taxes, constant road construction or high crime. It wasn’t the unchecked gang violence or political cronyism. In the end, we have to leave because of the hate you are willing to tolerate. I’d like to say, it’s not you, it’s me—but Chicago, I’ve got to be honest . . . it’s you. You’ve changed. You are no longer the nose-to-the-grindstone hardworking Democratic City of the Big Shoulders. You have a Trump-sized chip on that big shoulder, and it has turned you into a city of fear, hate and division. A city that encourages political bullying. A city I can no longer call home.)
