CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— Seven ideas to help Illinois stop kicking the can on state pensions
https://www.chicagobusiness.com/html-page/848701
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Laurence Msall wants Illinois to tax retirement income.
What threshold does Msall want – $100,000, $75,000, $50,000, $25,000?
https://www.chicagobusiness.com/forum-ideas/consolidate-funds-and-tax-retirement-income
(FROM THE ARTICLE: To
finally and decisively fix the problem, Illinois has no choice but to also
eliminate unaffordable loopholes, such as its overly generous tax exemption on
retirement income. Illinois is one of only three states with an income tax that
exempts all retirement income from taxation. Low-income seniors in Illinois who
cannot afford to stop working still pay state taxes on their income. Taxing
retirement income in alignment with the federal tax code would increase equity
and generate $2 billion to $3 billion annually for the state while protecting
the most vulnerable seniors by exempting income under a certain threshold.)

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— How a Chicago Suburb Became a Center of ETFs Welcome to Wheaton, Ill., a
town with a surprising connection to many of the most-important figures in the
world of exchange-traded funds – Asjylyn Loder
https://www.wsj.com/articles/how-a-chicago-suburb-became-a-center-of-etfs-11562638621
(FROM THE ARTICLE: There
is a gutted brick bank about an hour’s drive west of downtown Chicago that
bears testament to an unusual feature of the suburb of Wheaton, Ill.: It has
played an outsize role in the $6 trillion exchange-traded-fund industry. Here,
longtime Wheaton residents Bruce Bond and John Southard, co-founders of the ETF
powerhouse formerly known as PowerShares, are renovating new offices for their
latest ETF venture, a company called Innovator. Just down the street is First
Trust, the sixth-biggest ETF issuer in the U.S., with more than $76 billion in
ETF assets. Not far away is Amplify ETFs, a white-label firm that has made a
name for itself in niche funds. PowerShares, meanwhile, was sold in 2006 to
Invesco Ltd. IVZ -1.81% , now the fourth-largest ETF issuer, with $204 billion
in assets. How did Wheaton, a city of 53,000 people, become a hub of one of the
fastest-growing segments of money management? Part of the story centers on
Wheaton College, a Christian liberal-arts school founded by evangelical
abolitionists in 1860. Often called the “Christian Harvard,” it is the alma
mater of preacher Billy Graham. With roughly 2,400 undergraduates, the college
also has produced, or has connections to, a surprising number of well-known ETF
pioneers and innovators and their families. . .Today, the ETF industry is a
palpable part of life in Wheaton. First Trust’s office south of downtown, built
in 2007, is home to the city’s sixth-largest employer, and is part of the
downtown revival. New restaurants and apartment complexes have opened in the
past decade. The city has widened the sidewalks and made the streets more
pedestrian-friendly. The town has always been well-to-do, but these days the
median income is more than $95,000 a year. In the neighborhood near Wheaton
College, older houses have been torn down, replaced with more luxurious homes.
Of course, the ETF connection isn’t the only reason Wheaton is thriving. The
greater Chicagoland area sports a sprawling financial industry, and Wheaton
shares in its prosperity.)

SENTINEL SOURCE
— Vacant Keene City Council seats draw interest – Sierra Hubbard (DIERSEN: Do
you live in a city? If a city council seat became vacant, what factors would
discourage you from running for it? For me, factors include candidates who
commit to voting against the sale of pot and against video gambling in the
city. In addition, candidates who commit to promoting the traditional family,
right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, equal opportunity
(no race or gender based preference giving), and other planks in the Illinois
Republican Party and Republican Party platforms. In addition, candidates who
oppose promoting dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ
activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, abolition of the First and Second
Amendments, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, patronage, political
affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and
even worse things. When city council vacancies occur, I believe that a) the
names of applicants should be immediately released, b) all information that
they submit, including completed application forms, resumes, and answers to
standard questions, should be immediately released, c) a thorough background
investigation should be done on each applicant, and d) one or more candidate
forum should be held.)
