June 13 Morning Edition

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— OUTSTANDING! At the DuPage County Finance Committee meeting Tuesday morning, June 13, 2017, no motion was made to recommend lifting the county’s ban on video gambling in unincorporated areas. During the public comment period, those who spoke in favor of keeping the ban included Bill Bryan, Kathy Gilroy, Heidi Holan, Luke Holan, and me. During county employee Chad Shaffer’s presentation concerning video gambling, county board members asked many questions and expressed their views concerning the issue. Many thanks to those county board members who would have voted against recommending lifting the ban if a motion had been made. Attendees at the meeting included Paula McGowen and John Zaruba. – Dave Diersen

— DuPage keeps ban on video gambling in unincorporated areas – Robert Sanchez
http://www.dailyherald.com/news/20170613/dupage-keeps-ban-on-video-gambling-in-unincorporated-areas
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But after listening to people on both sides of the debate, board members ended their finance committee meeting without making a recommendation to the full county board. In fact, none of the 18 board members attending the meeting supported a motion to consider repealing the ordinance. “So there’s no interest in even discussing the issue,” said county board member Paul Fichtner, who serves as chairman of the board’s finance committee. “The issue is dead and nobody, obviously, is in favor of it.” . . . A few board members said there were questions that weren’t answered during Tuesday’s review, but no one expressed a desire to bring the issue back in two weeks. “It couldn’t even get a motion,” board member Tim Elliott said. “So I think that in fairness to board members that have questions, (staff) can get back, write a memo and do whatever. “But as far as I’m concerned, this is dead,” he said.)

My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes use that to paint me as though I have always been undeservedly filthy rich. I paid for my expenses at University Plaza and Lincolnshire West with money that I earned delivering mail for the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969 and working on an automobile assemble line and as a security guard in 1970.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Marc Lifshin doesn’t mince words when asked about his living situation as an undergrad at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He paid about $175 a month in rent to live in a decrepit six-bedroom house with eight friends. “I lived in an absolute shithole,” says Lifshin, an engineering student who graduated in 2001. “I think it was torn down a couple years after I graduated.” Today, Lifshin, 39, operates at the other end of the student housing market, renting out high-end buildings to college students willing to pay up for indulgent amenities. While Lifshin the college student was content just to have a big backyard and front porch, his company, Core Spaces, develops buildings with golf simulators, spas with plunge pools and tanning beds, and in-room hot tubs. A Core Spaces project in Madison, Wis., includes a band room and ice rink in the winter.)

— These Charts Show Just How Small the U.S. Middle Class Is, Compared to Europe’s – Annie Nova

(FROM THE ARTICLE: There’s one interesting wrinkle to the Pew data: While the U.S. middle-income segment is smaller than in European countries, it takes a higher income overall to make it into that group. The median income for a middle-class household in Italy is $35,608. It’s $44,000 in France and $46,000 in Denmark.But in the United States it’s $60,084.)

June 12 Morning Edition

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Gambling is a vice.  Government should not promote any kind of vice.  In its Tuesday, June 13, 2017, morning edition tomorrow, GOPUSA ILLINOIS will report on how each of the 18 DuPage County Board Members voted, and how Chairman Dan Cronin voted if necessary to break a tie, to keep or lift DuPage County’s ban on video gambling in unincorporated areas.  They will vote at the DuPage County Finance Committee meeting Tuesday, June 13, 2017, at 7:30 AM.  Please join Kathy Gilroy, me, and others who will speak at this meeting in favor of keeping the ban. Based on the minutes of the May 23, 2017 DuPage County Board meeting, a motion will be made at this meeting to refer the matter to another committee. If you are in DuPage County, please email DuPage County Board Chairman Dan Cronin, the 18 DuPage County Board members, and especially, the 3 board members who represent your district (SEE BELOW), to vote to keep the ban. Needless-to-say, before any vote by the full Board is taken to lift the ban, public hearings should be held in each of the county’s six districts. Will 9 vote to keep the ban and 9 vote to left the ban so that Cronin can break the tie?  In 2009, I played a major role in getting the Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC) to unanimously pass a resolution against video gambling throughout DuPage County. Since then, no MTRCC member has done anything to rescind that resolution. – Dave Diersen

NEW YORK TIMES
— Mr. Trump Goes After the Inspector Generals – Editorial  (DIERSEN: While I worked for GAO 1980-1997, I has lots of interactions with employees of Inspector General offices in the Chicago area.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/12/opinion/mr-trump-goes-after-the-inspectors.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Just before the inauguration, Michael Horowitz, chairman of the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency, was at a hockey game when he began getting calls from other inspectors general in federal agencies. The inspectors — independent officials who investigate waste, misconduct, mismanagement and criminal activity — were furious. Trump aides had let them know they might be replaced; for the first time ever, a president might fire them en masse. The administration later backed down. But it has continued to undermine the inspectors’ role by failing to hire for open positions and planning to slash the offices’ budgets, one of the many ways the White House has found to diminish the oversight functions of the federal government. Every major federal agency and program has an inspector general, a nonpartisan, independent official whose staff investigates cases of wasteful spending, criminal activity, employee misconduct and plain bad management. These are watchdogs with real teeth. Mr. Horowitz, who is also the inspector general at the Department of Justice, recently told Congress that in fiscal 2015 alone, the offices identified $26 billion in potential savings and recovered an additional $10 billion through criminal and civil cases. That’s a return of $14 for every dollar in the offices’ budgets. The list of good works is long and impressive.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— OUTRAGEOUS: GAMBLING IS A VICE: DuPage County Finance Committee will revisit the county’s ban on video gaming in unincorporated areas. Please join Kathy Gilroy, me, and others who will speak at the DuPage County Finance Committee meeting Tuesday, June 13, 2017, at 7:30 AM, in favor of keeping the ban on video gambling in unincorporated DuPage County.  Based on the minutes of the May 23, 2017 DuPage County Board meeting, a motion will be made at this meeting to refer the matter to another committee. If you are in DuPage County, please urge DuPage County Board Chairman Dan Cronin, the 18 DuPage County Board members, and especially, the 3 board members who represent your district, to vote to keep the ban. Needless-to-say, before any vote is taken to lift the ban, public hearings should be held in each of the county’s six districts. In 2009, the Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC) unanimously passed a resolution against video gambling throughout DuPage County. Since then, no MTRCC member has done anything to rescind that resolution. – Dave Diersen

But the term usually refers to the act of providing confidential information to the public in a surreptitious way and without official authorization. That is a neutral description, but Mr. Trump on Friday used the term in a way that was clearly intended to carry pejorative connotations: “He’s a leaker,” Mr. Trump said of Mr. Comey at a news conference.)

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/09/us/politics/dan-scavino-hatch-act-amash.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Dan Scavino Jr., the White House director of social media, violated a federal law that prohibits political activity by government employees, the federal agency empowered to enforce the law has concluded, citing the tweet Mr. Scavino sent in April calling for the defeat of a Republican member of Congress who has been critical of President Trump. The United States Office of Special Counsel took no official action to punish Mr. Scavino, but it issued a warning that became public on Friday that “if in the future he engages in prohibited political activity while employed in a position covered by the Hatch Act,” it could move to enforce the 78-year-old law.)

AMERICAN THINKER
— Convert, Pay, or Die – William L. Gensert
http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2017/06/convert_pay_or_die.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Convert, pay, or die is the set of choices Islam offers infidels.  Coincidentally, this is also what today’s progressives and the Democratic Party offer nonbelievers, climate “deniers,” white males, heterosexuals, patriots, blue-collar workers, farmers, miners, people without a college degree, the religiously devout, Republicans, and everybody else choosing not to buy into the party’s version of what America is and what the nation owes both its citizens and the world. Our country has collectively “slipped into madness.”  Hatred in the name of diversity and political unity has become a goal in itself – and it is ascendant in modern culture, all compelled by leftist ideology. No matter how many are killed, maimed, or merely terrified in the name of Allah, for progressives, the problem will always be Islamophobia, or an ignorant populace too uneducated to understand the inherent nuance of the “religion of peace.” Those who suggest enhanced screening for immigrants from Islamic nations or even a limited suspension, as President Trump proposed, are greeted with rioting in the streets, for to look askance at a man who expresses an explicit desire to kill in the name of Allah is tantamount to outright racism. Islamic men between the ages of eighteen and forty-five years old commit more than 90% of terrorist attacks.  Yet singling out people who fit those criteria for extra scrutiny is profiling and therefore implicit racism deserving of nothing less than outright excommunication from polite society – along with, of course, the total dissolution of one’s life, career, and safety.)

ONE NEWS NOW
— Illinois on verge of becoming sanctuary state #4 – Chad Groening  (DIERSEN: One could argue that if Rauner signs SB 31, he has become a Democrat and he told Republicans to buzz off.  Will that reelect him in 2018?)
https://www.onenewsnow.com/national-security/2017/06/08/illinois-on-verge-of-becoming-sanctuary-state-4
(FROM THE ARTICLE: An immigration border enforcement advocacy organization hopes the Republican governor of Illinois will veto a bill that would give sanctuary to illegal immigrants in the state. On the last day of its legislative session, the Illinois Legislature sent Governor Bruce Rauner a bill that critics say would tie the hands of law enforcement and significantly undermine federal immigration enforcement in the state. The Trust Act (SB 31) significantly restricts immigration officials’ ability to detain and deport illegal aliens, even if convicted of a crime. Ira Mehlman, a spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform, argues the bill “essentially declares that Illinois is not going to participate in any way in federal immigration enforcement.” “And they are going to make it has difficult as possible for the federal government itself to enforce immigration laws in the state of Illinois,” he adds. SB 31 – if it becomes law – would make Illinois the fourth sanctuary state in the country, joining Oregon, California, and Connecticut. But Mehlman holds out hope that won’t happen, pointing out that Rauner is a Republican. Mehlman, Ira (Federation for American Immigration Reform)”… It’s now going to be up to him to decide whether this dangerous bill should become law or whether, properly, he should veto it,” says Mehlman. “And that may be a good reason why the people of Illinois elected him to kind of serve as a firewall between the public interest and a legislature that seems to be out of control.” Rauner, who is running for re-election, has not spoken on the Trust Act. He has 60 days to decide whether he will sign it.)

— Do Illinois’ ‘core priorities’ for payment match yours? – Mark Brown  (DIERSEN: Of course, individuals, organizations, companies, governments, etc. in Illinois that hate state employees and hate state retirees do not want their salaries or their pensions to be any kind of priority.  In your precinct, in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, and in Illinois, which government employees and retirees are hated the most – school, municipal, township/ward, state, county, or federal?)
http://chicago.suntimes.com/politics/do-illinois-core-priorities-for-payment-match-yours/
(FROM THE ARTICLE:  The comptroller refers to this first-in-line category as its “core priority” payments. Core priority payments total about $1.85 billion each month, representing about 90 percent of the state’s average monthly revenues, Schoeben explained. The largest chunk of that — $593 million — is the state’s monthly contribution to its five public retirement systems that pay the pensions of state workers, teachers, university employees, judges and legislators. Next largest is the state payroll, at $370 million a month, which pays the salaries of 63,000 state employees who keep the government operating.)

http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20170607/NEWS03/170609889/illinois-comptroller-must-pay-medicaid-providers-more
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A group of nonprofits and attorneys sought to make the state abide by previous court orders that require paying Medicaid providers. On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Joan Lefkow agreed, noting that state Comptroller Susana Mendoza, who pays the state’s bills, has made other payments in full, including to the state payroll and pensions. . .In May, Mendoza told Crain’s editorial board that if insurers won, she would lose what little discretion she has to decide who gets paid first. Now, she prioritizes payments for agencies that care for the most vulnerable populations, including children and people with disabilities.)

RUSS STEWART
— GA-6 OUTCOME WILL BE HARBINGER FOR ROSKAM IN 2018
http://www.russstewart.com/russ-analysis.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: GA-6 is not quite IL-6 — at least not yet. That could change on 6/20, when voters in Georgia’s 6th congressional district elect a new U.S. Representative in a contest where the lines are clearly demarcated: Trump vs. anti-Trump. IL-6 is occupied by Peter Roskam (R). Both districts are historically Republican, GA-6 being in Atlanta’s western suburbs and IL-6 being in Chicago’s western suburbs (mostly DuPage Co.). Both are upscale, with high median income and low minority population. But both went for Clinton over Trump by 50-48% in 2016. The Democrats, in their 2011 remap, packed every possible Republican into IL-6, including Barrington and west Lake Co. (Lake Zurich), and Roskam won with 59% in 2016, spending $3.3 million. He should have a safe seat. But Roskam is a party-line Republican, and backed the repeal/reform of parts of the Affordable Care Act. Three Democratic women are running, and all will trumpet the anti-Trump line. Watch GA-6 on 6/20.)

Of course, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes use that against me. They stress that at least through the 1970s, Crete residents were overwhelming German-American Lutherans.

All of my ancestors are German-American Lutherans and they have lived in Crete since 1854. I lived in Crete 1948-1972. I did not move to Wheaton until 1978.  My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes in Wheaton continue to paint me as being a German American, a Lutheran, a racist, a sexist, a bigot, and even worse things. They talk and act like they want me to sue them for slander.  How should I react to that?)

— Consolidation bill offers hope for supporters of smaller government  Townships in Illinois could be made more efficient if Gov.

ROCHELLE NEWS
— Consolidation of roads, bridges could mean shift at township levels – Lori Hammelman
https://rochellenews-leader.com/article/consolidation-of-roads-bridges-could-mean-shift-at-township-levels
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Lt. Gov. weighs in  Ill. Lt. Gov. Evelyn Sanguinetti last week applauded the passage of the bill that would allow township trustees to initiate these referendums, which could lead to a consolidation. Currently only township trustees in Cook County have this power. Two Cook County townships have successfully initiated and passed referendums to consolidate their road districts. It is said officials from both of these townships anticipate greater service efficiencies, thus taxpayer savings from consolidation. “I applaud the General Assembly for passing this bill to give all townships – not just those in Cook County – the authority to consolidate as they deem necessary,” said Lt. Governor Evelyn Sanguinetti.  “We pay the highest property taxes in the nation and, not coincidentally, we have more units of government than any other state.  This bill is the start of a larger effort to give both citizens and local boards the power to consolidate government.” Another supporter of the bill is State Representative Tom Demmer. “I’m glad to support this bill which empowers voters to choose what’s best for their community,” said Rep. Demmer. “If consolidation makes sense for them, they can now choose to lower the cost of government and reduce their tax burden.”)
