My outstanding parents provided me with room and board during my first 2 years at UIC 1966-1968, weekends during my first semester at NIU in 1969, and the summer of 1969.  That enabled me to work, to earn, and to save enough money to a) buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile in 1967, b) buy a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, and c) graduate debt-free from NIU in August of 1970 owning the aforesaid 1969 Dodge Charger SE.)

— Rauner working with police on marijuana bill – AP  (DIERSEN: If you want to destroy people, for example, if you want to destroy citizens of America, you encourage those people to become stoners.)
http://www.qconline.com/news/illinois/rauner-working-with-police-on-marijuana-bill/article_e604d668-5101-11e6-9836-276b95586917.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The proposal passed with bipartisan support, but some in law enforcement have reservations. Greg Sullivan, the executive director of the Illinois Sheriff’s Association, said the bill doesn’t differentiate between minors and adults who are caught with small amounts of pot, and that the new approach may not bring proper attention to problem use by minors. “As long as someone can afford the fines, guess what, I may never know it as a parent. I’ve got a problem with that,” Sullivan said. Opponents are also concerned that reducing penalties for marijuana possession sends a message that it isn’t harmful. But about 100 Illinois communities, including Chicago, already give police discretion to issue citations instead of making arrests for having small amounts of the drug. Lawmakers said they want to promote consistency in how minor marijuana offenses are handled. “We have a system where, where you live or what you look like determines whether you get a ticket,” said Democratic Rep. Kelly Cassidy of Chicago, another bill sponsor. The legislation would also require municipalities to purge citation records for possession every six months, unless local governments decide against it. Supporters of the bill argue people shouldn’t be saddled with lifelong criminal records for minor offenses that make it difficult to find employment or housing. When Rauner vetoed last year’s legislation, he said in a letter to lawmakers that the existing penalties for petty marijuana offenses are “too severe” and that “criminal prosecution of cannabis possession is also a drain on public resources.” He wrote that he supports “the fundamental purposes” of the initiative. He said he would sign the proposal if sponsors made changes he wanted. In the bill he vetoed, lawmakers wanted possession of up to 15 grams of marijuana to be a civil offense punishable with a fine between $55 and $125. Rauner wanted he threshold to be lower — 10 grams or less — and the fines higher — between $100 and $200. Rauner recommended the DUI standard for marijuana should be 5 nanograms of THC, marijuana’s intoxicating chemical, in a driver’s blood within two hours of consumption. Lawmakers initially proposed that the standard be 15 nanograms. Currently, any trace of marijuana is enough to be considered impaired, but pot advocates have long criticized zero-tolerance states’ approach because marijuana can stay in a person’s system for several weeks. The bill now on Rauner’s desk has included all of his suggestions.)

NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
— ‘GOPLifer’ blogger Chris Ladd resigns from party over Trump: ‘There is no redemption in being one of the good Nazis’ – Tobias Salinger
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/goplifer-blogger-resigns-party-trump-article-1.2722168
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A writer and campaign activist who calls himself “GOPLifer” resigned from the party (Anthony Cuzzone, York Township, DuPage County, Illinois) over Donald Trump’s nomination as the Republican presidential candidate. Chris Ladd wrote in a letter he sent to his local party’s chairman (in suburban Chicago and posted to his blog Friday that “There is no redemption in being one of the ‘good Nazis.’”  He recalled attending his first county Republican convention as a teenager growing up in Texas, meeting “a young Rick Perry” on the future governor’s first statewide campaign and trudging through the Illinois snow as a campaign volunteer. Yet Ladd compared watching House Speaker Paul Ryan speak at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland to “the way a young child watches his father march off to prison.” Ladd blamed his departure on party leaders who “have decided on complicity” with Trump. “Our leaders’ compromise preserves their personal capital at our collective cost,” he wrote. “Their refusal to dissent robs all Republicans of moral cover. Evasion and cowardice has prevailed over conscience. We are now, and shall indefinitely remain, the Party of Donald Trump.” He continued, “I will not contribute my name, my work, or my character to an utterly indefensible cause. No sensible adult demands moral purity from a political party, but conscience is meaningless without constraints. “A party willing to lend its collective capital to Donald Trump has entered a compromise beyond any credible threshold of legitimacy. There is no redemption in being one of the ‘good Nazis.’” Ladd, who has written a book called ‘The Politics of Crazy,’ had warned in his most recent column in the Houston Chronicle in March that the party’s decision to “to embrace an entire platform of fiction” would force Republicans to “pay our debt to reality.” He went further in the letter and blog post, though. Ladd told a Twitter user who asked him what would become of his blog that he would replace it with a different one. “I hereby resign my position as a York Township Republican committeeman,” Ladd wrote in the letter. “My thirty-year tenure as a Republican is over.”)
