CHICAGO DEFENDER
— State of Illinois Releases Disproportionately Impacted Areas for Cannabis
Program’s Social Equity Applicants (DIERSEN: Wheaton is the DuPage County Seat.
The Democrats who run the Illinois Department of Commerce & Economic
Opportunity (IDCEO) have outrageously designated western Wheaton as being a
disproportionately impacted area (DIA), that is, an area that has high rates of
arrest, conviction, and incarceration related to cannabis as well as poverty
and unemployment. Needless-to-say, that must be a mistake. I ask the following
and everyone else who has an interest in Wheaton to ask the IDCEO to
immediately rescind its DIA designation: Wheaton Mayor and City Council
members, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Milton Township officers and trustees,
DuPage County Board Chairman and County Board members, and federal and Illinois
officials who represent or seek to represent any part of Wheaton.) https://chicagodefender.com/state-of-illinois-releases-disproportionately-impacted-areas-for-cannabisprograms-social-equity-applicants/ (FROM THE ARTICLE: As
the most equity-centric adult use cannabis program in the nation prepares to
enter its next phase, the Pritzker Administration is releasing maps that
designate which parts of the state qualify as “disproportionately impacted
areas” for social equity applicants. More
than 2 million Illinoisans live in the 683 Census tracts that make up the
disproportionately impacted areas. (View the map here https://www2.illinois.gov/dceo/Pages/CannabisEquity.aspx The
Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity determined the
disproportionately impacted areas using criteria established in the new state
law. To be designated as a disproportionately impacted area, a Census tract
must have high rates of arrest, conviction, and incarceration related to
cannabis, among other qualifications including poverty and unemployment. “As
Illinois continues its path toward putting equity at the forefront of the
state’s new adult-use cannabis expansion, it’s important to create
opportunities in communities that have been hardest hit by the war on
marijuana,” said Governor JB Pritzker. “Not only will social equity applicants
receive points on their applications, but many applicants will also get grants,
technical assistance, low-interest loans and fee reductions and waivers. Taken
together, these efforts will do more than any other state in the nation has
done to focus on equity.”)

— Pot Bill Tokes the Line on Public Safety – Tony Perkins https://patriotpost.us/opinion/65810-pot-bill-tokes-the-line-on-public-safety-2019-10-01 (FROM THE ARTICLE: And
yet, last Wednesday, in the U.S. House, more than 300 members of Congress put
their names behind a bill that would help legitimize a business that’s
destroying and endangering lives. It was the first ever vote on a stand-alone
cannabis bill, not that the name would have told you so. The SAFE Banking Act,
one of the more ridiculously named pieces of legislation in the Democratic
House, would make it easier for marijuana companies to “open checking accounts
and get business loans.” Pot companies argue that it would make the entire
market safer, since they tend to operate on a “cash-only basis” or pay sky-high
fees to the banks who are willing to work with them. Amazingly, 321 members of
Congress (including 91 Republicans) fell for this logic, which encourages banks
to get involved in the sale of what the federal government still considers an
illegal substance.)

plans to pay about a quarter of news organizations whose content will be

licensing fees Facebook is offering range as high as $3 million a year for
national news outlets to several hundred thousand dollars for regional
publications, they said. The deals would be for three years. Facebook plans to
expand the number of publishers included in the program as the product
develops, the people said. The feed will become more customizable and
individually targeted, and will eventually include links from Facebook’s
local-news project “Today In.” Facebook will highlight only publishers that
meet the criteria of its news page index, which requires sites to focus on news
reporting and bars those that repeatedly share misinformation and bombard
readers with advertising. But the company, which has been accused of bias by
conservatives in the past, has been mindful to include a diversity of
viewpoints among the outlets that will be featured, one person said. For
example, while stories from Infowars won’t be included, stories from Breitbart
might appear, this person said. “We’ve been working closely with news
organizations to get this right by emphasizing original reporting and making it
much easier to find the most relevant news on Facebook,” said Campbell Brown,
Facebook’s vice president of global news partnerships. Headlines appearing in
Facebook’s news section will be chosen in some cases by a team of editors and
in others by the company’s algorithm, people familiar with the matter said. The
“Top News” section, which will feature about 10 headlines, will be entirely
curated by human editors. News in subsections, such as sports or entertainment,
and a “suggested for you” section, will be selected by algorithm. The feed
won’t include any advertising and all stories will direct readers to the
publishers’ own websites, the people said. Facebook’s curators will use a
detailed list of criteria for which stories to highlight, including promoting
outlets that were the first to report the news, the people said. Stories with
named sources might also be given priority to those that rely on anonymous
sources. Facebook is looking to expand its team of curators to about 25 people,
with some based in London, to work under Anne Kornblut, a Pulitzer Prize winner
who joined Facebook in 2015 after stints at the Washington Post, New York Times
and Boston Globe, the people said.)
