— Beck’s decision to abolish merit promotions could shortchange blacks and
Hispanics, aldermen warn Aldermen Chris Taliaferro and Ariel Reboyras say it
makes no sense to abolish a tool used to diversify the Chicago Police
Department’s supervisory ranks. – Fran Spielman (DIERSEN: The federal
government uses the subjectivity in its promotion systems to promote its
employees who are Democrat, and especially those who are minority, female,
and/or younger. Passing the CPA examination used to be required to get promoted
at IRS and GAO, but that requirement was dumped because too few minorities and
women took/passed the examination.) https://chicago.suntimes.com/city-hall/2019/12/11/21011299/chicago-police-charlie-beck-merit-promotions-aldermen (FROM THE ARTICLE: But
Taliaferro contended the department needs to find some middle ground to elevate
and cultivate a new generation of police leaders who may not be the greatest of
test-takers. “You’ll see a class of 100 officers [and] without merit
[promotions]
, you’re gonna see probably 80 to 90 of those being white. … You
have folks who work very hard but may not test well. . .Sources said Mayor Lori
Lightfoot agrees with Taliaferro about the need to find an on-the-job
alternative to merit promotions to elevate black and brown supervisors who may
not perform well on written tests.)

— New laws will encourage old vices The
proliferation of gambling and marijuana can have a deleterious effect on
health. Both vices are addictive in nature. – Ned L. McCray, Tinley Park https://chicago.suntimes.com/2019/12/10/21004979/sun-times-letters-legal-gambling-marijuana-illinois-recreational-pot-vices (FROM THE LETTER: Most
laws have an impact, one way or another, on a person’s job or his pocketbook.
The new laws in Illinois, expanding legal gambling and the legal use of
marijuana, will do the same. But they also will threaten our health and
physical well-being. The new laws have been touted as answers to our state’s
fiscal crisis, creating many jobs, but at what cost? History has shown that the
proliferation of gambling and marijuana can have a deleterious effect on one’s
health. Both are addictive in nature. Most forms of gambling are stacked
against the participant; the odds are bad. Legalized gambling generally is a
waste of time and money. Marijuana alters a person’s mood and introduces
harmful substances into the lungs and body that can lead to dependency and the
use of more powerful drugs. These two laws will do nothing to uplift society.
They will be of harm to future generations.)

NEWS CHANNEL 20
— Charges you could face for smoking cannabis around kids – Nikki McGee https://newschannel20.com/news/local/charges-you-could-face-for-smoking-cannabis-around-kids (FROM THE ARTICLE: With
the legalization of marijuana, law enforcement is warning parents to stay on
the side of caution when using it at home. As marijuana’s legalization rolls
out, the law is defining where it can and cannot be used. While you can smoke
and pose it behind closed doors, rules change if you have children in the
house. “You cannot knowingly use in close proximity [around] anyone under
21 years of age,” Illinois “Weed Lawyer” W. Scott Hanken said. Any marijuana
kept in your house must also be in a pre-packaged, childproof container and
kept out of reach. “It’s not a good idea to expose them to a mind-altering
substance and we know there can be secondhand smoke that could be inhaled by
the cannabis,” Sangamon County Sheriff Campbell said. “So it’s vital that
if the parents are going to partake in this, that they don’t expose their
children to it.” Sheriff Campbell said his department already investigates
cases where they are tipped off about a child smelling like cannabis and
sometimes even meth-making chemicals. It’s something they can take action on.
“We would look at the totality of the circumstances and determine whether
or not the parent was endangering the life or safety of a child,” Sheriff
Campbell said. “At that time, we would decide whether or not to either
immediately arrest them or to file charges through the state’s attorney’s
office.” Mandated reporters, like teachers, are required to report
suspected child neglect or endangerment to law enforcement. You also need to be
careful if you watch other children. “If you also happen to have a child
daycare in that residence, obviously you cannot use it or consume it there,” Hankin
said. Any marijuana kept in the house must also be in a prepackaged, childproof
container. In other words, kept out of reach. Although you can smoke on private
property… Legally it can’t be around your child. The sheriff is also
concerned about edibles, which are often packaged as treats like candy or baked
goods. He especially wants parents to keep these items secure, since they might
look tempting to a child.)

2017 to 2018, the county’s equalized assessed valuation, or the assessed value
of all property, increased by about $5.1 million, or by roughly 3.17 percent.
The county budget is partially designed around what officials expect to collect
through property taxes. According to the St. Clair County treasurer’s office,
the property tax cycle is a two-year cycle. Over the first year, the property
is assigned a value reflecting its value as of Jan. 1. The tax bills are then calculated
mailed and payments are distributed in the following year. Evaluation and
collecting property taxes is a six-step process, starting with assessment and
ending with collection.)

state that they are religious, conservative, and/or Republican, but who work
the hardest against those who are religious, conservative, and/or Republican

Microaggressions are bad, but adverse actions are worse. My Democrat GAO
superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, gave me unfair
performance expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of
my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13,
got rid of my mentor in 1987, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the
almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take a $19,568 (21%)
pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. 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
