BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE
— Bushwick rezoning opponents look beyond Brooklyn for strategies – Paul Stremple
https://brooklyneagle.com/articles/2019/07/29/bushwick-rezoning-opponents-look-beyond-brooklyn-for-strategies/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Community activists in Bushwick are pushing for a complete shutdown of engagement between their local representatives and the Department of City Planning, hoping to stop a planned rezoning of their neighborhood from taking shape. Mi Casa No Es Su Casa, an anti-gentrification group, has started a petition for the purpose, which they say has garnered more than 350 signatures. Previously, the group has shut down community board meetings, disrupted city feedback sessions and projected anti-gentrification and anti-rezoning slogans across swaths of Brooklyn. Now, they’re looking to keep fighting the process, however they can. The group hosted a town hall inside a Bushwick church on Sunday to discuss methods of resistance with residents and community leaders from across the five boroughs. Roughly 30 attendees listened as a panel of speakers addressed both the specific rezoning of Bushwick and the greater processes of rezoning, displacement and gentrification at work in New York City.)

https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190724/island-lake-planning-commissioner-nominated-for-open-trustee-seat
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A relatively new Island Lake transplant has been nominated to fill a vacancy on the village board. Dan Powell, who moved to Island Lake less than three years ago, could be appointed to the seat during Thursday night’s board meeting. He’s been nominated by Mayor Charles Amrich, but it’s up to the trustees to approve the nomination. If appointed to the board, Powell will replace Jennifer Villarreal, who unexpectedly resigned in June. Amrich initially had suggested appointing former trustees Mark Beeson or John Burke to the post, but board members objected to those nominations last month and delayed votes.)

— Can Facebook predict your future health? Researchers found 21 conditions were predictable from the social media network alone. – Najja Parker
http://www.startribune.com/can-facebook-predict-your-future-health/512600962/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For instance, those who used “drink” and “bottle” had an increased risk of alcohol abuse. And terms expressing hostility, such as expletives, were more predictive of drug abuse and psychoses. “This work is early, but our hope is that the insights gleaned from these posts could be used to better inform patients and providers about their health,” lead author Raina Merchant said. “As social media posts are often about someone’s lifestyle choices and experiences or how they’re feeling, this information could provide additional information about disease management and exacerbation.”)

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.)

— Americans for Legal Immigration Political Action Committee Keeps Hounding Trump
https://americanfreepress.net/watchdog-keeps-hounding-trump/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Here’s a list of Gheen’s grievances with Trump: Trump promised a wall . . . no wall. Trump promised to end Obama’s DACA Amnesty on his first day, . . . DACA is continued by Trump. Trump promised to end birthright citizenship by executive order. . . . He did not do it. Trump said illegals had to go home. . . . Now he says they can stay and he supports amnesty bills. Trump said he would build a new deportation force to send illegals home. . . . That has not happened. Trump said he would clean up our elections, including illegal alien voters, but folded and shut down the Elections Integrity Commission headed by Kris Kobach at the first sign of resistance. Then Trump said he ordered DHS to clean up our elections’ fraud problems . . . [but it] hasn’t happened. Trump has packed his administration with pro-Amnesty Bush faction operatives while leaving most anti-illegal immigration fighters out of his staff pool. Trump promised to end sanctuary cities for illegal aliens but has not. Trump said he was sending the U.S. military to the border and ordering DHS to repel the illegal alien caravans. He said there would be no more catch and release and that the caravans would not be let in nor would be kept in tent detention facilities near the borders. But instead he is letting the caravan illegals in, and most of them are roaming free here inside the U.S. at this time with government assistance.)

LOWELL SUN
— Auditor resumés don’t add up Councilors trying to get more applications (DIERSEN: Should I apply? I worked for GAO for almost 18 years; my ending salary was $127,654 in today’s dollars. I worked for IRS for almost 9 years; my ending salary was $93,592 in today’s dollars. My certifications include CPA, Internal Auditor, Government Financial Manager, and Forensic Accountant.)
http://www.lowellsun.com/ci_32728299/column-auditor-resumes-dont-add-up

(FROM THE ARTICLE: NOT MUCH has changed in the nearly four years since the Lowell City Council was last on the hunt for a City Auditor. Councilors asked to pump up the pay and post the job in multiple languages this time around, but, with the three week application period now closed, several councilors were unsatisfied with the resumés that landed in their inbox. “We did raise the salary, but we’re not attracting the candidates,” said City Councilor Rodney Elliott. Is it déjà vu all over again? The council hired Bryan Perry in March 2016, after three rounds of candidates and six months. Perry got the gig with a $101,800 starting salary and $4,500 stipend for serving on the city’s Retirement Board. When he left the city for Wilmington on June 19, he was making $105,918 annually. The most recent posting for the job offers $100,000 to $113,000, plus the stipend. It’s the first posting for the job since Perry announced his departure. Should the city offer even more, some councilors wondered? Human Relations Manager Mary Callery listed the city auditor salaries for several other communities in the state. According to Callery, the auditor in Boston earns $140,000; in Cambridge, $110,000; in New Bedford, $120,000; in Quincy, $119,000; in Springfield, $109,000; in Worcester, $135,000; in Brockton, $114,000; in Arlington, $126,000. In Wilmington, Perry will be making $121,192.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a letter posted to the church’s website, Glombicki addressed the congregation and said the church was “working hard to ensure the safety of all people at WPLC including our queer siblings.” “As a congregation, our work continues,” Glombicki said in the letter. “While preaching the love of all people each week might seem a bore, while it may seem like the city is welcoming to all sexual orientations and gender identities, and while it seems like something like this would never happen in Wicker Park, our message of radical welcome declaring this congregation ‘Reconciling in Christ’ in 2006 still needs amplification in the here and now.” Wicker Park Lutheran Church has a longstanding history of welcoming all to worship, affirming since 2006 that all people, of all sexual orientations and gender identities, are welcome to become members of the church. “We believe as people of faith that it’s about love — not just tolerance but acceptance and inclusion,” Glombicki said Tuesday night. “We continue to live out and widen those circles of love in all that we do here.” At this Sunday’s 10 a.m. service, hundreds of small rainbow flags will be placed in the lawn area near the flags “as a sign of love.” “As a congregation, each year we celebrate the diversity that God has created,” Glombicki said. This Sunday will be about remembering the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots and celebrating more than a decade spent as a church embracing people from all backgrounds: “We know that love is the final word and we will continue to make that the final word as we live out our ministry here.”)

— Toni Preckwinkle reverses decision to retire — aide says she will seek fourth term in 2022 – Rachel Hinton (DIERSEN: If you are retired, what if you had reversed your decision to retire? In 1997, when I was 49 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors made it extremely clear to me that if I did not take their early retirement “offer,” they would do whatever they felt was necessary to get rid of me long before I would be eligible for regular retirement 6 years later. Previously, they a) had given me unfair performance expectations and appraisals; b) had always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes; c) had not promoted me beyond GS-13; d) had gotten rid of my mentor in 1987 who had promoted me in 1986, who had gotten me assigned to audits of IRS in 1986, and who hired me in 1980; e) had kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO; and f) had forced me to take a $19,568 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.)

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
— OUTSTANDING: Towns should send a message on marijuana – Bill Deckard, Winfield
https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20190624/towns-should-send-a-message-on-marijuana
(FROM THE LETTER: So, recreational marijuana will soon be legal in Illinois. But as the Daily Herald helpfully reminds us in their lead article on June 17 and in their editorial on June 19, there’s nothing to stop local cities, towns or villages from outlawing the sale of marijuana within their own city limits. Communities have done just that with things like video gambling and various “adult” businesses, so why not add marijuana to the list? Wouldn’t it be great if a significant number of Illinois communities chose not to profit from this deadly trade? If you are a city council member and have opposed the legalization of marijuana, why not do the courageous thing and vote against allowing its sale in your jurisdiction? As for the rest of us, let’s let our city officials know where we stand. One of the worst things about legalizing marijuana is the message it sends to young people, that getting high is no big deal. Keeping it off the store shelves in your municipality may mean foregoing a few tax dollars, but it will get the message to your children that smoking dope is not a good thing.)

An abrupt change of heart after saying yes to a job can have career repercussions years later—here’s how to navigate this delicate decision – Sue Shellenbarger (DIERSEN: How many job offers did you have when you earned your bachelor’s degree? I accepted the only job offer that I got, it was from Firestone’s regional office: Retail Sales Manager in Firestone’s Chicago Heights store. Employers were discouraged from offering me a job because I was draft bait. They did not believe that my application for a financial hardship draft deferment would be approved. My Firestone job did not really require a college degree. The store manager disapproved of my following demographics: Republican, draft avoider, German American, and Missouri Synod Lutheran. He refused to let me start until I passed a probationary period working for the Firestone Store in Gary, Indiana. After I had worked for him for 7 months, he rudely fired me when I gave him my 2-week notice that I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: 1. Get work experience in high school (and college, if you go). Ironically, the most important first step may have nothing to college. The best way to build work skills is to work. The best way to find out what kind of work you like (and hate) is to work. The best way to inform your postsecondary choices is to work. Get whatever work experiences you can—site visits, job shadows, client-related projects, internships and summer jobs. Try to get paid where you can—you’ll need the money. A growing number of high schools are using the Imblaze app from Big Picture to manage student internships. Over 14 million college students use the Handshake network to find internships (and then jobs) with more than 800 corporate partners.)

NORTHWEST HERALD
— Local officials discussing how new marijuana law would impact municipalities Local municipalities to discuss local impacts of recreational pot – BRITTANY KEEPERMAN (DIERSEN: Who is taking the lead to stop the sale of pot a) in your municipality and b) in the unincorporated areas of your county? All of the following should be lining up to speak out against pot at public hearings: Republican activists, Republican candidates, Republican elected officials, Republican party leaders, Republican major donors, Republican political consultants, business leaders, religious leaders, healthcare leaders, education leaders, law enforcement leaders, etc.)
https://www.nwherald.com/2019/06/06/local-officials-discussing-how-new-marijuana-law-would-impact-municipalities/ar36dcv/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: ‘We have a lot of evaluating to do’ Local officials say they have been watching the issue but it’s unclear how the legislation will impact McHenry County. Harvard City Council likely will discuss the matter this month, City Administrator Dave Nelson said. “If [council members] don’t have any issues with it, we don’t have to do anything,” Nelson said. “In the event they get a client to retail here, there is a tax on that, and that’s another discussion.” Municipalities can impose a local tax on recreational marijuana, under the bill. They cannot ban its use but can enact ordinances to regulate where the shops are allowed to open. “A unit of local government, including a home-rule or non-home-rule county within the unincorporated territory of the county may enact ordinances to prohibit or significantly limit a cannabis business establishment’s location,” according to a portion of the bill. Inquiries about launching a marijuana business in Harvard have already come in, said Charles Eldredge, director of the Harvard-Woodstock enterprise zone. He said several potential growers had approached him about the possibilities and were looking at sites within the enterprise zone. “The city of Harvard has expressed to me that they would be very open to a grow facility located in the enterprise zone,” Eldredge said. The Woodstock City Council discussed the matter at a recent workshop, but a clear stance on the issue hasn’t yet emerged, City Manager Roscoe Stelford said. “We have a lot of evaluating to do,” Stelford said. “My understanding of the law is that you can’t ban the use. You can only ban the sale. There will be communities that allow it because it’s now lawful, and you will see the impact … but we still need to do more research. It’s still so new.”)

NEW YORK TIMES
— With Most States Under One Party’s Control, America Grows More Divided – Timothy Williams
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/11/us/state-legislatures-partisan-polarized.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When J.B. Pritzker took over as the governor of Illinois this year, Democratic lawmakers, who had spent four years at an impasse with his Republican predecessor, vowed that their party’s new grip on the State Capitol would bring immediate change. The pace has been startling. In recent months, Illinois legislators have moved sharply to the left, deeming abortion a fundamental right for women no matter what the Supreme Court might decide, raising the minimum wage, taking steps to legalize recreational marijuana and introducing a graduated income tax. . .Alabama and Illinois — one overwhelmingly red, the other blue — were more representative of this year’s tone, providing perhaps the best examples of political parties moving to enact utterly different agendas. After Alabama effectively banned abortion last month, female lawmakers in Illinois responded almost immediately, pressing through a bill expanding abortion rights in their state. (Abortion rights groups have sued to stop the Alabama law from taking effect.) And while Illinois voted to allow sports betting and to legalize recreational marijuana, Alabama failed to approve either a state lottery or medical marijuana. . .In Illinois, Republicans were in much the same position as Democrats in Alabama: Outnumbered and outflanked. And like Alabama Democrats, Illinois Republicans lost nearly every vote of significance. In addition to voting to raise the minimum wage to $15 by 2025, the state legislature became the first in the nation to pass a bill legalizing both the sale and possession of marijuana. (In other states, voters have approved such laws through ballot initiatives.) Dale Righter, a Republican in the Illinois Senate, said that without power, Republicans’ hopes relied on conservative Democratic voters deciding that their lawmakers had gone too far. “I have no doubt that there are Democratic voters saying, ‘Hey, this isn’t what I signed up for,’” he said.)

A majority of the well-heeled millennials headed west to California and Washington state — 3,597 and 1,920, respectively. Texas, Colorado and Florida rounded out the top five destinations.)

— Internet Free Speech All But Dead – Philip Giraldi
http://americanfreepress.net/internet-free-speech-all-but-dead/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Social networking sites have voluntarily employed technical fixes that restrict some content and have also hired “reviewers” who look for objectionable material and remove it. Pending European legislation, meanwhile, might require Internet search engines to eliminate access to many unacceptable old posts. YouTube has already been engaged in deleting existing old material and is working with biased “partners” like the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) to set up guidelines to restrict future content. Many users of Facebook will have already undoubtedly noted that some contacts have been blocked temporarily (or even permanently) and denied access to the site. Google now automatically disables or limits searches for material that it deems to be undesirable. If Google does not approve of something it will either not appear in search results or it will be very low on the list. And what does come up will likely favor content that derives from those who pay Google to promote their products or services. Information that originates with competitors will either be very low in the search results or even blocked. Google is consequently hardly an unbiased source of information.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Through letter campaigns and petition drives, Mike Barbier, now a Wheaton city councilman, and his fellow South classmates enlisted the support of lawmakers who passed a bill signed by President Donald Trump last December to rename the post office after Williams. Barbier knew Williams as a social butterfly in high school. Shortly after graduation, Williams joined the Army, motivated by a call of duty after the Sept. 11 attacks.)

— Conflicts of interest can be interesting in Joliet – BOB OKON
https://www.theherald-news.com/2019/06/07/okon-conflicts-of-interest-can-be-interesting-in-joliet/a5gw6tz/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Interim City Manager Martin Shanahan meets the job description to become the permanent city manager, the city council was advised last week. Interim City Attorney Chris Regis provided the opinion because the matter had been raised by at least one council member. Interestingly enough, Regis delivered the opinion moments before Mayor Bob O’Dekirk declared that city staff should not be involved in any application process or candidate search for a permanent city manager because it would be a conflict of interest. The theory is that since all city staff falls under the supervision of Shanahan as interim city manager, they have a conflict of interest in the selection of a new city manager. Therefore, city employees who normally would be involved in a city hiring process cannot be called upon to provide staff support for the council in a candidate search or even in a simple posting of the job. Apparently, no conflict of interest applied to Regis, however, in determining that Shanahan met the job qualifications, although Regis is a city employee who was advising the council on whether they could hire Shanahan for the job.)

All of the following should be lining up to speak out against pot at public hearings: Republican activists, Republican candidates, Republican elected officials, Republican party leaders, Republican major donors, Republican political consultants, business leaders, religious leaders, healthcare leaders, education leaders, law enforcement leaders, etc.) 
https://www.eagletribune.com/news/haverhill/pot-shop-supporters-picket-opponent-s-restaurant/article_4cd9e075-a0f1-5b5a-99b6-1937ebf4d0a5.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A lawsuit filed against a business that plans to sell recreational marijuana brought about 20 protesters to Railroad Square late Saturday morning. They stood across the street from Mark’s Deli, whose owner along with two other plaintiffs has challenged the city’s decision to allow the opening of a pot shop in the now-vacant quarters of the Sons of Italy at 124 Washington St. The lawsuit alleges that allowing the shop violates the constitutional rights of nearby property owners, violates federal narcotics laws and is detrimental to Haverhill. “I believe strongly we need to get the underground economy into the mainstream,” said Douglas Edison, a longtime community activist who is running for City Council. “Why are we stopping it? You can’t just say ‘no’ to everything,” he said. Edison pointed out the shop will pay taxes to the city. “We need money for schools,” Edison added. Caroline Pineau, who already owns and operates the Yoga Tree at 90 Washington St., hopes to open the recreational marijuana store. “I’ve been fighting for this for 15 years,” said Michael Crawford of Marblehead. He called the lawsuit “frivolous.” A friend of his who suffered from mental health problems and addiction had a very positive outcome after he started using medicinal marijuana, Crawford said. “It turned his life around,” he said. Crawford wore a shirt bearing the message, “more weed, less greed.” Another City Council candidate, Nick Golden, said Pineau is being “unfairly targeted” by the lawsuit. “She represents the type of person and entrepreneur that we’re trying to attract,” said Golden, who is on the staff of state Rep. Lori Ehrlich, D-Marblehead. “I think it’s really important to support small business owners,” Christina Barbieri, a former Haverhill resident, said. She and others noted that possession of marijuana is now legal in Massachusetts and that Haverhill voters supported this change. The protesters held signs with messages such as “drop the lawsuit.” Many motorists driving by honked in support of the cause. A few people voiced their objection to having a pot shop in the city, Crawford said. One man confronted the protesters and called them “immature.” As he walked away from the group, he extended his two middle fingers. Two police officers were assigned to the demonstration, which remained orderly. Officer James Keenan advised the man who made the obscene gestures to not cause a disturbance. Jess Hileman, a lifelong Haverhill resident and longtime patron of Mark’s Deli, said he does not think the owner of the restaurant objects to having a pot shop in Haverhill. “He only opposes the location,” he said. Hileman also said he did not think it was fair that some of the protesters were depicting the owner as a bad guy. A patron at Mark’s Deli said the owner did not want to speak to the media. The lawsuit lists the plaintiffs as Bradford Brooks, a local realty professional; Lloyd Jennings, a contractor; and Steve Dimakis, owner of Mark’s Deli. Brooks and Jennings are described as trustees of L&B Realty Trust. Dimakis is identified as a trustee of the Evthokia Realty Trust.)

VICTORIA ADVOCATE
— School districts face scrutiny for hiring teacher who had peace officer’s license revoked. He’s now accused of sexually assaulting student. – Kali Venable

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Public records show that lies went unchecked during the hiring process for a former Victoria teacher and coach accused of sexually assaulting a student. James Christopher White, 34, was arrested in February on charges of sexual assault of a minor and improper relationship between an educator and student while working as a wrestling coach and special education teacher in Victoria. The charges, which are under review by prosecutors, came after he admitted that he attempted to have sexual intercourse with a 16-year-old student in a hotel room during a school-related function, according to court records and officials from the Victoria County Sheriff’s Office. A more detailed background check on White would have revealed red flags: the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement, or TCOLE, revoked his peace officer and jailer licenses in 2012. The action came after he was terminated and dishonorably discharged for untruthfulness or insubordination from Mathis and Orange Grove police departments, according to records from all three agencies.)

— So You Want To Hire A New Superintendent: What Does The FOIA Permit (And Require)? (DIERSEN: Nothing stops applicants from disclosing a) that they had applied, b) the documents that they submitted, c) if they will be interviewed or were interviewed, d) if they were eliminated, e) etc.) 
https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/so-you-want-to-hire-a-new-48064/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Personnel Search Committees” and the Screening Process: As for its actual search, the board could vote to create a personnel search committee. Such a committee, when formed with respect to an “executive level” position (such as a superintendent), is exempt in its entirety from the FOIA and its open meetings and notice/posting requirements. The appointment of such a personnel search committee is useful in that it protects the privacy rights of those being interviewed and avoids the need of the board to take official action in narrowing the field of candidates (even to the final recommended candidate) as part of the interview process. The FOIA also protects from disclosure any records of a personnel search committee which would reveal the identity of a candidate (without that candidate’s consent). . .Not all gatherings of a board committee ostensibly acting as a search committee will be considered exempt from the FOIA’s meetings and posting requirements. A personnel search committee is exempt from the FOIA’s requirements for only as long as it is engaging in activities protected by the search committee exception. Based upon the FOIA, the Freedom of Information Commission [“FOIC”] views the role of a personnel search committee for purposes of this FOIA’s exemption as limited to 1) reviewing resumes, 2) interviewing and screening candidates and 3) considering and recommending the selection and appointment of an individual for the position.)

My Democrat IRS superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, got rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968. My aforesaid Democrat superiors would stress that the aforesaid adverse actions that they took against me directly benefited their employees who were poor, and especially their poor employees who were Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran.)
