https://www.mediapost.com/publications/article/339082/boomers-return-to-the-high-times.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Measured edibles will reintroduce THC to the sex, drugs and rock-and-roll generation — who, by and large, gave up smoking dope as they had kids and moved up the career ladder. I am already surrounded by seniors who get high when they go to concerts, movies or even just watch the sunset. I know younger folks who microdose in preparation for everything from writing a PowerPoint to boarding a plane. I am fully cognizant of the argument that you should only get high on life and that using THC is an escapist crutch to avoid reality. But as edibles (and soon drinkables) spread across the nation, it will be a huge improvement over those who abuse alcohol and become unbearably boorish. I can’t wait to be one toke over the line, sweet Jesus (again).)

— GAO’s Professional Development Program – Watchdogs in Training (DIERSEN: Were you an intern? GAO audits IRS. When I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinated did not want me to transfer, but failing that, they wanted me to transfer as a GS-4 Step 1 (currently $33,591/year) intern, that is, to suffer a $60,001/year (64%) pay cut in today’s dollars. They painted what GAO Analysts do as being a unique “trade or occupation.” They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. They viciously demonized, denigrated, and condemned the fact a) that I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $82,579-$93,592/year, b) that much of what IRS Revenue Officers do is similar to what GAO Analysts do, c) that I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, d) that I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and e) that I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul. They were furious that I transferred with me almost 12 years of federal seniority, 30 days of unused vacation days, and 130 unused sick days.)

DAILY HERALD
— 10 want West District seat on Wheaton City Council – Katlyn Smith (DIERSEN: I urge everyone who is interested in this, and especially Wheaton’s West District residents, to a) find out everything that they can about the 10 candidates, b) analyze that information, c) determine who they believe the top 1, 2, or 3 candidates should be, and d) email their recommendation to Wheaton’s City Council at allcouncil@wheaton.il.us along with their reasons for their recommendation. I hope that in the days ahead, the Daily Herald provides much more information about the 10 candidates. I hope that the Daily Herald a) asks the 10 candidates to complete a detailed questionnaire and b) publishes the responses to that questionnaire. Wheaton West District residents should have the right to know not only the applicants’ names, but a) how long they have lived in the city and in the district, b) their political affiliation, c) why they want to be appointed to fill the vacancy, d) what they believe the most important issues are that the city needs to address, e) what their opinion is on how those issues could be addressed, f) will they vote for or against selling pot in Wheaton, g) what their work experience is, h) what their education is, i) what professional certifications and licenses are, and j) what experience do they have carrying out typical city council functions: Review and approve the annual budget; Establish long- and short-term objectives and priorities; Oversee performance of the local public employees; Oversee effectiveness of programs; Establish tax rates; Enter into legal contracts; Borrow funds; Pass ordinances and resolutions; Modify the city’s charter; Regulate land use through zoning laws; Regulate business activity through licensing and regulations; Regulate public health and safety; Exercise the power of eminent domain; Communicate policies and programs to residents; Respond to constituent needs and complaints; and Represent the community to other levels of government.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Wheaton City Council members have their pick of 10 applicants seeking to fill a vacant seat representing the West District. The group of candidates vying for a 2-year appointment to the council includes some familiar names in DuPage County politics. The applicants are: Nancy Harding, Edward Ahern, Jeffrey Antonelli, Robert McNeily, Lynn Robbins, Mark Kmiecik, Angela Blatner, David Diersen, Khizar Jafri and Krista Selvey. Diersen is the founder of the daily newsletter Gopillinois.com. McNeily lost his bid for the West District seat in 2016 against incumbent Todd Scalzo. According to his LinkedIn page, he is the Midwest regional manager of Turning Point USA, a conservative group founded by Wheeling High School alum Charlie Kirk for college and high school students. Robbins, a former Illinois Park and Recreation Association board member, also ran unsuccessfully against Scalzo for the West District seat in 2016. Kmiecik finished third in another three-way race for the seat in 2009. Jafri, a finance and accounting consultant, lost to Tim Elliott for a District 4 spot on the DuPage County Board in 2016. The Democrat was seeking his first elected office at the time. Four council members represent Wheaton’s four voting districts, while two members and the mayor are elected at-large. The seat became vacant in July when Scalzo, an attorney, stepped down after 10 years. The council is set to vote on appointing his successor in September. Council members recently filled another empty 2-year council seat. The North District seat became vacant in May when Phil Suess was sworn in as Wheaton’s first new mayor in 12 years. The council named Christopher Zaruba to the post on July 1 from a field of 13 applicants.)

https://www.thetelegraph.com/news/article/Pot-law-is-hazy-on-town-8217-s-rights-Illinois-14294240.php
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The state organization representing local units of government is asking leaders in the General Assembly to make clarifying changes to the recreational marijuana law before it takes effect Jan. 1. Brad Cole, executive director of the Illinois Municipal League, said the 1,298 cities, villages and towns in the state need guidance on four aspects of the Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act, signed into law by Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker in late June. There is confusion, he said, about how law enforcers will know a person who is growing cannabis in their home is doing so legally as a prescribed medical marijuana user. Municipalities also are uncertain how they may regulate the drug. Cole is asking legislators to write what is known as a trailer bill, a companion measure that clarifies a statute. The idea has bipartisan support. Sen. Heather Steans, D-Chicago, one of the statute’s framers and her chamber’s sponsor, said it’s likely that a trailer bill will happen. Republican Sen. Jason Barickman, from Bloomington, said he thinks his colleagues spent “a lot of time on the legislative language,” and any subsequent bill should be consistent with the goals of the original negotiations. “I understand and support the idea of a trailer bill to make clarifications that the various stakeholders have brought forward. I think it’s very likely we’ll see one for multiple reasons, and we may see it as early as this fall,” he said. “I anticipate hearing from many stakeholders about clarifications they would like to see. By and large, that’s what the IML is seeking here.” In a letter to lawmakers, Cole highlighted four points the league’s members would like the General Assembly to address. Each one, he said, was mentioned in his testimony before a panel of legislators in late May before the recreational marijuana bill became law. “These are common sense issues” to determine what is legal and what is no, Cole said. The new law allows those who have a medical marijuana card to grow no more than five plants in their home without needing to be a licensed cultivation center or craft grower. The League’s concern, Cole wrote in his letter, is the lack of “registration or notification requirements to municipalities or their police departments” about which residences can legally grow cannabis plants. “We’re saying, we need to know,” he said. “How do we know if these are five legal plants or five illegal plants?” Steans said the idea of “a registry had been raised,” but some interest groups expressed concerns it might be a civil rights violation. She added local governing bodies would know if the plants were legal by asking whether their owner had a medical marijuana card. Barickman said the issue is one with “wildly different” viewpoints. “I think you’re going to have those in law enforcement presumably asking for some type of registry, and I think you’re going to have others adverse to that,” he said. Also in question is a provision in the law dictating how governing bodies can regulate recreational marijuana. “No unit of local government … may prohibit home cultivation or unreasonably prohibit use of cannabis authorized by this Act,” according to the law. Cole, in his letter, wrote that “unreasonably” is not defined, so towns and municipalities might be exposed to “unknown litigation as they attempt to protect the health, safety and well-being of their citizens.” The League is asking the General Assembly to clarify the word’s meaning. And it is seeking guidance on two regulations dictating how funds are distributed and may be spent by local governments. Money directed into one account, for example, now has rules for how it may be spent. “This is restricted money being put into an unrestricted disbursement fund,” thus creating accounting confusion for local officials, Cole said. Department of Revenue Director David Harris was copied on the Municipal League letter. In an emailed statement, a spokesperson said the department “is working to ensure successful implementation and rollout of the Cannabis Regulation and Taxation Act and works with all stakeholders to that end.” “I think what’s happening right now is the multiple stakeholders are doing a deeper review of the law now that it’s been set, and they’re raising some questions that I think we can address through a trailer bill, providing some clarity,” Barickman said. Steans added the recreational marijuana statute created large policy changes and “lots of different viewpoints” need to be considered. In an emailed statement, Jordan Abudayyeh, Pritzker’s press secretary, seemed to indicate the governor is open to a trailer bill. The administration, she said, “is focused on ensuring the successful implementation” of the law. “Multiple state agencies are engaged in these efforts as we move forward creating one of the most equity centric industries in the country,” Abudayyeh said. “The Pritzker administration stands ready and willing to continue working to ensure Illinois has a cannabis industry that other states can look to as a model for equity and success.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: An Illinois politics blogger who receives tens of thousands of dollars from state government agencies wouldn’t comment on whether his post about Confederate Railroad and subsequent texts to the governor’s staff had anything to do with the abrupt cancellation of the band’s performance at the DuQuoin State Fair. Rich Miller writes the Capitol Fax blog, a subscription-based newsletter and website. In fiscal year 2018, Miller received $35,736 from state government. He received $34,791 in fiscal year 2019. So far for the fiscal year that started July 1, he’s received $1,500, according to the latest public records. Most of the payments to Miller were line items of $500 from various state agencies throughout the year, including the General Assembly. Miller sells both subscriptions to and advertisements on Capitol Fax. The Center Square obtained text messages and emails to and from Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s office through the Freedom of Information Act. Those messages show on June 17, the same day Miller posted a blog questioning the band’s scheduled performance, Miller sent a text to the governor’s deputy press secretary, Emily Bittner.)

— Home DNA Tests Can Disrupt Family Dynamics. Here’s How More people are taking home DNA tests to learn about their background. For some, the results can be not only unexpected, but can radically change their lives. – Amy Dockser Marcus (DIERSEN: Who hates German Americans the most in your neighborhood, in your precinct, in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, and in Illinois? Government is nasty. Politics is nasty. Democrats and Democrat plants, Libertarians and Libertarian plants, Greens and Green plants, and RINOs are nasty. I should write a book about a) how my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government used and b) how my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes in Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois use my 100% German national origin against me. They constantly foisted/foist negative German stereotypes on me. I would focus on those who are German American, but who demonize, denigrate, and condemn me to curry favor with those who hate German Americans. They paint themselves as being “good” German Americans who go around destroying “bad” Germans like me. In my defense, I stress that they all my ancestors immigrated way back during the 1840s and 1850s, that my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans during WWI, that my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans during WWII, and that if he had not been 4-F, my father would have fought the Germans during WWII. If DNA information had been available back when I worked for the federal government, I would have stressed that. According to http://dna.ancestry.com, my ancestry is 33% Europe West, 28% Scandinavia, 24% Great Britain, 11% Ireland, 2% Europe East, 1% Finland/Northwest Russia, and 1% Italy/Greece.)

Primary voting via mail is underway while in-person voting is set for Aug. 13. That balloting will narrow the list of candidates to the top six vote getters. Then they, like the primary winners in the other city council and mayoral races around Weber County, face off in the Nov. 5 general election. Meantime, here’s some info on the West Haven candidates, pulling from statements they supplied to the Utah Lieutenant Governor’s Office and the Standard-Examiner as well as their own campaign material.)

KRCU
— Cape Girardeau City Council Chooses From Ward 3 Hopefuls Aiming To Fill Seat Vacancy – CLAYTON HESTER (DIERSEN: Are you a Wheaton resident? Do you live in Wheaton’s West District? What do you know about the ten who have filed to be appointed to fill Wheaton’s West District City Council vacancy?)
https://www.krcu.org/post/cape-girardeau-city-council-chooses-ward-3-hopefuls-aiming-fill-seat-vacancy#stream/0
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Before a meeting on Monday, ten Cape Girardeau residents were angling to fill a ward 3 vacancy on the city council. That number has now been whittled down to three applicants: Tom Roy, Nate Thomas, and Christina Mershon. Roy, a medical practice manager at SoutheastHEALTH, is an alumni of Southeast Missouri State University, and has called Cape Girardeau home for the last 19 years. “[I] don’t have any special interests, don’t have any special agendas,” he said. “Just hoping the skills I’ve accumulated over the last 30 years can help.” He also described himself as a “big proponent of the parks,” and voiced interest in tightening up rules for landlords – particularly those who rent to college students. Thomas, a physical therapist at St. Francis Hospital, said although he isn’t a Cape Girardeau native, he and his family are now “deeply rooted and integrated” in the city. “Perhaps I would say my strongest attribute I would bring the council is my background in government relations,” Thomas said. Not only has he worked with Congress and multiple committees, but he’s also worked with various government agencies. The third candidate, Christina Mershon, said she offers a “diverse” skill set developed in her position as director of continuing education at Southeast Missouri State University. Mershon said that, while improvements are being made on Town Plaza and other select areas across town, there are still “major problems that need to be recognized.” “Last week, guys, we had a shooting there. It kind of concerns me that no one is mentioning violence and some of the systemic problems. That’s heavy on my brain and my heart,” she said. “Because while we go forward and we’re really making strides, we’ve got to figure out what’s going on in the underpinning to address that stuff.” She likened the potential to run to a “dating situation” – she might not run for the ward seat after her time as replacement would expire. She wants to see how well the position works for her. Ward 3 was made available when the former representative Victor Gunn resigned on July 8th.)

August 7 Morning Edition

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Ten have applied to be appointed to fill Wheaton’s West District City Council vacancy. If your representative on your city council resigned, what would you want the process to fill the vacancy to include? I want the city to issue a press release each time it receives an application to fill a vacancy. Those press releases should not only disclose the applicant’s name, but the completed application, resume, and all the documents that were submitted. Residents should have the right to know not only the applicants’ names, but a) how long they have lived in the city and in the district, b) why they want to be appointed to fill the vacancy, c) what they believe the most important issues are that the city needs to address, d) what their opinion is on how those issues could be addressed, e) what their work experience is, f) what their education is, g) what professional certifications and licenses are, and h) what experience do they have carrying out typical city council functions: Review and approve the annual budget; Establish long- and short-term objectives and priorities; Oversee performance of the local public employees; Oversee effectiveness of programs; Establish tax rates; Enter into legal contracts; Borrow funds; Pass ordinances and resolutions; Modify the city’s charter; Regulate land use through zoning laws; Regulate business activity through licensing and regulations; Regulate public health and safety; Exercise the power of eminent domain; Communicate policies and programs to residents; Respond to constituent needs and complaints; and Represent the community to other levels of government. (SEE: https://www.nlc.org/city-councils) There should be at least one well-publicized candidate forum before an appointment is made. Because aforesaid has not happened, and apparently will not happen, for Wheaton’s West District City Council vacancy, yesterday, I filed my application, and today, I filed a Freedom of Information Act request for all the documents that applicants have filed. Needless-to-say, I want to know if the candidates would vote for or against banning the sale of pot in Wheaton. – Dave Diersen

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH BIG COLOR PICTURE IN THE NAPERVILLE SUN: DuPage committee starts discussion on allowing or banning recreational pot sales in unincorporated areas – ALICIA FABBRE (DIERSEN: At DuPage County’s last board meeting, I called for DuPage County to be the first country in Illinois to ban the sale of pot. I will continue to do that at future board meetings. Please join me.) 
https://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/naperville-sun/ct-nvs-dupage-board-recreational-pot-st-0807-20190806-6cxgufxut5d2jb2cyjkkprv4dy-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Committee members will continue discussion of the issue on Aug. 20 and could bring a recommendation to the full county board as early as the board’s Sept. 10 meeting. Currently, DuPage County zoning follows state law for medical marijuana facilities. Under those rules, cannabis cultivation centers must be located at least 2,500 feet from schools, group homes and residential areas and dispensaries cannot be closer than 1,000 feet to the same sites. If the same standards were used, there likely would be no place to locate a dispensary or cultivation center in any area under the county’s jurisdiction, said Sam Tornatore, who heads the board’s development committee. “If we decided to mirror current zoning, then essentially it’s game over,” said Tornatore, a Roselle Republican. He and others noted the county would have to adopt less restrictive rules than those for medical marijuana in order to allow dispensaries or cultivation centers in unincorporated areas. State law leaves it to municipalities and counties to decide if they want to put any restrictions in place for recreational marijuana businesses, officials said. “The notion of granting easier access to recreational marijuana than to medical marijuana makes no sense,” said board member Robert Larsen, a Wheaton Republican.)

http://www.spokesman.com/stories/2019/aug/06/beggs-and-wendle-in-lead-for-spokane-city-council-/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The race for City Council president pitted two sitting members of the council against Wendle, who despite her lack of resume in city politics was able to raise substantial campaign funds. Beggs, an attorney with a background in social justice who has represented the South Hill on the council since 2016, raced to an early lead with 10,718 votes. Wendle finished the night in second place with 9,349 votes. Mike Fagan, who has earned a reputation as the council’s most conservative member, sought a promotion after two terms representing the northeast district but trailed Beggs and Wendle with 8,093. More ballots will be counted on Wednesday. The race also featured Phillip Tyler, former president of the Spokane chapter of the NAACP, who has been dogged by accusations of abuse by multiple ex-wives. He came in a distant fourth. Beggs said he was confident heading into Tuesday’s election that he would come out on top.)

During his time representing the predominantly rural district, Medvigy has taken conservative positions on taxes and spending. Under the county charter, only residents of that district will vote in that race.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— At its Monday August 5, 2019 meeting, Wheaton’s City Council unanimously passed a resolution setting August 26 as the public hearing date concerning a draft zoning ordinance amendment that would prohibit cannabis business establishments in Wheaton. B.J. Slinger and I spoke in favor of banning the sale of pot in Wheaton. Roosevelt Road rezoning study critic Elizabeth Hain spoke in favor of selling pot in Wheaton. Roosevelt Road rezoning study critic Martha Bradley called for Wheaton to hold off on taking action on the study until the West District vacancy is filled. So far, 31 have requested applications to be appointed to fill the West District vacancy, 4 completed applications have been received, and one incomplete application has been received. 5:00 PM today, Tuesday, August 6, 2019, is the deadline for filing an application. I am disappointed a) that the 5 applicants have not publicly announced their candidacy and b) that Wheaton has not released their names. If appointed, will they vote for or against selling pot in Wheaton? Because of the aforesaid uncertainty, I will be filing by 5:00 PM. – Dave Diersen

https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190806/vernon-hills-teens-anti-marijuana-stance-helps-her-win-national-title
(FROM THE ARTICLE: During her reign as president her senior year, the Catalyst Club lobbied in Springfield and before the Buffalo Grove village board, among others, against the use of recreational marijuana. “As president, my focus was internal, making sure that we were strong as a group,” Dora says. “A drug-free coalition isn’t the most popular group in the school, so I wanted to make sure everyone knew why we were making the choices that we were making, and that we could communicate that to the rest of the school.”)

FOX ILLINOIS
— Biden: Trump ‘using the language’ of ‘white nationalists’ (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, Democrats promote hatred against not only Trump, but against anyone who does not share their hatred of Trump. Ever-increasingly, Democrats want Republicans to accept responsibility for gun violence and to apologize for gun violence.)
https://foxillinois.com/news/nation-world/biden-would-push-a-buyback-program-for-assault-style-weapons
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Look at the way he talks about Muslims. Look at the way he talks about immigrants. Look at the way he talks about people of color,” Biden told CNN. “He talks about them almost in subhuman terms.” That, Biden said, coaxes white supremacists from the shadows of American society. “This is pure and simple white nationalist terrorism,” Biden said, adding that he supports his support for adopting a federal domestic terrorism law, a move that could give the Justice Department more avenues to investigate and prosecute certain acts. Trump on Monday called on the nation to condemn white nationalism, but he didn’t apologize for his incendiary rhetoric on race, from referring to illegal immigration as an “invasion” to his recent Twitter attacks on black members of Congress.)

https://www.nprillinois.org/post/do-something-calls-ring-out-after-mass-shootings-el-paso-and-dayton#stream/0
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The announcement came in a late afternoon news conference in which officials released the names of the El Paso shooting victims. They range in age from 15 to 90. There are 22 victims — 12 are male and 10 are female. Thirteen are listed as U.S. citizens, seven are Mexican and one is German. According to the list provided by the police, one person is ‘undetermined.’ Mexican authorities also say the number of Mexican victims is eight. El Paso Police Chief Greg Allen said the suspect in Saturday’s shooting purchased his gun — a 7.62 caliber rifle — legally “near his hometown in Allen” [Texas] and drove 10 to 11 hours to El Paso. He said the suspect has been cooperative with investigators, adding, “He volunteered most of the evidence that we’re able to utilize at this time.” Allen said the suspect “appears to be in a state of shock and confusion.” Mayor Margo, a Republican, acknowledged some of the tensions surrounding the planned visit by Trump.)

https://dupagepolicyjournal.com/stories/512815817-past-incident-with-a-black-student-haunting-d41-board-president-robert-bruno
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Some concerned Glen Ellyn residents are questioning what D41 board president Robert Bruno, 64, is hiding about his past as a high school social studies teacher in New Jersey. Back in 1986, Bruno was not rehired by the Westfield School District in Jersey for reasons that included “an incident with a black student,” “the man himself,” and “lack of professionalism,” the Westfield Leader newspaper reported at the time. Recent online conversations surrounding the June 5, 1986 article on a neighborhood chat site, Glen Ellyn Forum, caught the attention of village resident Jeff Cooper; he challenged Bruno during the public comment period at the July 15 school board meeting. “The newspaper didn’t go into any details about the incident, so I told him we need clarity on this,” Cooper told the DuPage Policy Journal. “We need to know what happened.” Cooper also asked Bruno if he told the University of Illinois, where he is currently a professor of labor and employment relations, about the incident when the university was considering hiring him. He then asked Bruno to step down as president of the board until it becomes clear what happened.)
