— Rauner mum on Sandack’s ‘inappropriate online conversations’ – Monique Garcia
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-bruce-rauner-ron-sandack-20160919-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The admission comes after weeks of Capitol speculation about Sandack’s departure after the former Downers Grove mayor abruptly stepped down from the Illinois House in July citing cybersecurity issues. As questions swirled, Rauner refused to comment on the situation. The governor stuck by that strategy Monday despite the new, widely reported revelations from Sandack and Downers Grove police. “I really can’t comment on that. I don’t know all the facts on that,” Rauner told reporters after talking up the state’s advances in technology. Rauner was a lot more glowing when discussing the recent departure of another ally, state Sen. Matt Murphy, who joined a public affairs firm.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Donald Trump Jr. has posted a message on Twitter likening Syrian refugees to a bowl of poisoned Skittles. Seeking to promote his father’s presidential campaign, the younger Trump posted a tweet featuring a bowl of the candy Skittles with a warning. “If I had a bowl of skittles and I told you just three would kill you, would you take a handful?” said the tweet on the verified @DonaldTrumpJr handle. “That’s our Syrian refugee problem,” said the post, which caused a stir and negative tweets on the internet into Tuesday. Young Trump’s tweet said, “This image says it all. Let’s end the politically correct agenda that doesn’t put America first.” His father has advocated sharply restraining immigration and has accused opponent Hillary Clinton of advocating acceptance of tens of thousands of refugees.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In the new 30-second Kirk attack ad, the two plaintiffs, Christine Butler and Denise Goins, who work at the Anna Veterans’ Home, try to make their case to the public while an announcer accused Duckworth of “covering up the abuse” of veterans. “She said to me point-blank, ‘Keep your mouth shut and you won’t be fired,’” Goins says of Duckworth in the ad. Butler says Duckworth “was trying to protect Gov. Blagojevich” and “put her personal aspirations ahead of the veterans’ care.”)

ROCKFORD REGISTER STAR
— So, how do you like video gambling now? – Anita Bedell, Executive Director, Illinois Church Action on Alcohol and Addiction Problems
http://www.rrstar.com/opinion/20160918/my-view-so-how-do-you-like-gambling-slots-now
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Video gambling has spread rapidly in just four years, with nearly 24,000 gambling machines now operating in more than 5,500 establishments. Rockford-area residents are losing more than $2 million a month in video gambling machines. Winnebago County ranks third in the state for the number of video gambling machines with 1,050 — more machines than five of Illinois’ casinos. The amount of money lost in the machines is staggering. Rockford ranks second in the state with losses of $77.5 million, and Loves Park is fourth with losses of $41 million. The total amount lost in video gambling machines in all of Winnebago County is almost $175 million. While municipalities get a nickel of every dollar lost in gambling machines, up to 60 percent of the money leaves the community. While legislators said they wanted to legalize the gambling machines that were already operating in many bars, clubs and restaurants, local officials issued many new liquor licenses, which qualified for video gambling. Video gambling parlors have expanded quickly throughout the state, and these neighborhood casinos have some of the largest monthly gambling losses. Located in strip malls near residential areas and grocery stores, these video gambling parlors are named after and target women. Coffee, soft drinks and snacks are free at some parlors, and coupons for free play abound. Video gambling machines are operating in bowling alleys, golf courses, laundromats, grocery stores, gas station convenience stores, wine and package liquor stores, a tobacco store, television repair shop, flower shop, pool supply shop, indoor amusement park and family fun center. A study of frequent video gambling players showed that the risk of frequent players reporting symptoms of problem and pathological gambling was elevated if they gambled weekly, spent $50 or more per session or played for more than an hour per session. The study, published in the Journal of Gambling Studies, found that video gambling was the most harmful form of gambling in Canada. People will gamble at casinos closest to home. Local residents who are “regulars” can gamble several times a day at one or more neighborhood casinos. When people gamble away all of their money, they borrow, steal and embezzle to keep gambling. It takes time for the problems of gambling to develop and come to light — addiction, lost work time, bankruptcy, child neglect, domestic violence, crime, embezzlement and suicide. One dad left his 3-year old son in the car while he gambled in a bar near a busy intersection at 11 p.m. He allegedly went inside to order food and played video gambling while he waited. A Tazewell County grand jury indicted a former employee of a residential facility accused of taking money from a disabled person to gamble. She also took two residents to a video gambling parlor. Burglaries of video gambling machines and ATM machines have occurred throughout the state, and video gambling establishments have been cited for underage alcohol sales. These are just a few of the crimes that have been documented during the past four years. Three casino companies have bought all or part ownership in video gambling companies that supply machines to local establishments. Why? Video gambling has fewer regulations, less oversight, lower taxes and operating costs and is an easier way to expand. Rockford Urban Ministries has invited me to speak at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Rockford at 7 p.m. Thursday. Come and learn more.)

— Clinton condemns ‘apparent terrorist attacks’
http://www.starcourier.com/news/20160918/latest-clinton-condemns-apparent-terrorist-attacks
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Hillary Clinton’s vice presidential running mate has split with her over Clinton’s description of some Donald Trump supporters as “irredeemable.”  Tim Kaine said on ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday that irredeemable “is not a word I would use.” But he suggested that it’s not likely the Democrats would be able to change the minds of hardcore Trump supporters on such issues as where President Barack Obama was born. Kaine says Clinton was right to call out “dark emotions.” Clinton earlier this month said she considers “half” of Trump’s supporters to be “deplorables” who are “irredeemable.” She later apologized for saying “half” and acknowledged that many of his supporters are hardworking, but disillusioned.)

http://chicago.suntimes.com/politics/sneed-trump-ivanka-coming-to-town-for-fundraisers/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Ivanka Trump is on the way. The Donald isn’t . . . yet. “It’s hush, but father and daughter are coming at the end of the month,” a top Republican source said. “They aren’t on the campaign trail. No press. It’s private fundraisers,” the source added. “Trump’s poll numbers are soaring and he’s got to focus on the swing states — and Illinois is so blue it’s almost frozen,” the source said. Sneed hears Ivanka, one of her father’s top advisers, has scheduled three fundraisers at the end of September. Two downstate. One in Chicago. “There is huge interest now. People sense now is the time to get on board,” the source said. With his numbers rising in the polls, Trump abruptly canceled his Bolingbrook luncheon appearance Monday to hit Florida. “I get it,” said Bolingbrook Mayor Roger Claar, a huge Trump supporter who has already postponed the Trumpster’s luncheon twice: now reset for Sept. 28. “He needs to put his attention on the swing states. But I’ll tell you what,” said Claar. “Tickets for the luncheon are selling. Originally set for only 100 people, now 300-350 are anticipated. “People who couldn’t make time on their calendars before now have calendars dates available. It’s great. People who were expecting to come and now can’t are really disappointed.”  Sneed hears rumbles DuPage County Board Chairman Dan Cronin may be attending. Psst, word is Trump’s jet will fly into Chicago. Does that mean he will drive from the city to Bolingbrook? Stay tuned.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/daily-southtown/news/ct-sta-video-gambling-side1-st-0918-2-20160916-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: What is being spent at video gambling machines, and what is being lost, grew during the first eight months of this year compared with the same period last year, according to figures compiled by the state gaming board. Some of the increase is due to more establishments offering gambling now compared with a year ago. Here is a breakdown for selected communities in the south and southwest suburbs showing amounts spent at the machines for the period of January through August of this year and a comparison to the same eight-month period in 2015: In Alsip, $11.1 million was spent this year through August, and $3 million lost, compared with $7.8 million spent during the first eight months of last year and losses of $2.1 million. At Bridgeview gambling terminals, $8.2 million was spent during the first eight months of this year, and $2.1 million lost, compared with spending of $6.7 million a year earlier and losses of $1.8 million. Chicago Ridge video gambling spending totaled $12.1 million through August of this year, with losses to gamblers of $3.2 million, compared with the same period in 2015 when $11.7 million was spent and $3.1 million lost. In Crestwood, $14.5 million was spent in the first eight months of this year, with losses of $3.7 million, compared with a year earlier when $11.4 million was spent at gambling machines and losses totaled $3 million. At establishments in Homer Glen, $6.3 million was spent on video gambling through August of this year, with losses of $1.7 million, compared with $4.7 million spent last year and losses of $1.3 million. Lemont video gambling spending was $8.3 million during the first eight months of this year, with losses of $2 million, while spending for the same period last year was $5.6 million and losses totaled $1.4 million. In Midlothian, $9 million was spent during the first eight months of this year, with losses of $2.3 million, compared with $7.3 million spent for the same period in 2015 and losses totaling $2 million. At video gambling terminals in Mokena, $10.7 million was spent through August of this year, with losses of $2.8 million, compared with spending of $8.7 million for the same period of last year and losses totaling $2.2 million.

NORTHWEST INDIANA TIMES
— Rauner administration: Lottery program shows ‘merit pay’ works – Dan Petrella  (DIERSEN: My Democrat GAO superiors used merit pay to favor their employees who were Democrat, minority, female, and/or younger, that is, to discriminate against their employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or older.)
http://www.nwitimes.com/news/local/rauner-administration-lottery-program-shows-merit-pay-works/article_bbf0c3e0-4fbe-57e5-a81e-b6d7385393ea.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The state has paid more than $631,000 in bonuses over the past two years to dozens of Illinois Lottery employees for meeting sales targets and other goals. Introducing programs like this, which reward workers financially based on certain measures of job performance, throughout state government has been a priority for Gov. Bruce Rauner’s administration in stalled contract talks with a union representing 38,000 state workers. The administration wants to do away with guaranteed annual raises in favor what it calls “merit pay,” but the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Council 31 has opposed those proposals because, among other reasons, it sees opportunities for favoritism. Wages are one of the major sticking points in the negotiations, which were halted in January when the Rauner administration moved to have an impasse declared. An administrative law judge recommended earlier this month that the Illinois Labor Relations Board order the administration and AFSCME back to the bargaining table. The Rauner administration says the Lottery program, which was introduced in 2011 under the administration of then-Gov. Pat Quinn, is evidence that merit pay works.)

— State Rep. Sandack’s mistake? Resigning over a sexual peccadillo – Jeff Berkowitz  (DIERSEN: Diersen disagrees.  Those who have sexual peccadilloes subject themselves to blackmail. Therefore, people with sexual peccadilloes should not seek or hold any kind of government or political office.  Activists, candidates, elected officials, party leaders, major donors, political consultants, their operatives, and their dupes who have sexual peccadilloes have always worked against me.  They see the day a) when Democrats will bring them down by splashing their sexual peccadilloes all over their television stations, newspapers, radio stations, websites, etc. and b) when I will include links to the aforesaid in GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails.  Sooner or later, people with sexual peccadilloes bring themselves down and bring everyone around them down.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: I have about as much respect for Dr. Ben Carson as I do for any prominent person in the world today. I’ve interviewed him extensively and found almost no area of disagreement with his views. I respected the campaign he ran for the presidency this year and was disappointed that he didn’t get more support. But, his advice to Donald Trump to apologize for questioning whether Barack Obama was constitutionally eligible for the office of the presidency was just plain wrong.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Not many women make it to Wall Street. Few do who are Hispanic — and undocumented. But Julissa Arce did just that. In her new book, “My (Underground) American Dream: My True Story as an Undocumented Immigrant Who Became a Wall Street Executive,” Arce, 33, recounts the story of how she challenged the stereotype of the undocumented immigrant by graduating from the University of Texas with honors, immediately securing a job at Goldman Sachs and eventually becoming an executive at Merrill Lynch. “Since the age of 14, I had learned to live an alternate reality, an imagined reality in which my immigration status didn’t matter,” writes Arce in the prologue of her memoir, which was released Sept. 13.)

http://www.advocate.com/business/2016/9/15/peter-thiel-talented-folks-only-go-nyc-silicon-valley-certainly-not-chicago
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The gay tech billionaire and Donald Trump supporter offended many a Windy City resident this week. Gay technology billionaire Peter Thiel gave a speech in Chicago this week and managed to insult the entire city — and, well, pretty much the whole nation, except for a couple of enclaves. “If you are a very talented person, you have a choice: You either go to New York or you go to Silicon Valley,” Thiel, the founder of PayPal, told an audience at Chicago’s Roosevelt University Tuesday, the Chicago Tribune reports. Stuart Warner, the Roosevelt professor who moderated Thiel’s talk, didn’t challenge him on that — or on his support for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump or his funding of a lawsuit by Hulk Hogan that forced Gawker Media into bankruptcy, the Tribune notes. But an audience member did afterward, asking, “Who comes to Chicago if first-rate people go to New York or Silicon Valley?” Thiel stammered and said, “I didn’t, I didn’t, I didn’t say that!” according to the Tribune. He then explained that he was using New York and Silicon Valley only metaphorically, as “extreme” examples, and didn’t intend to insult Chicagoans. That didn’t placate the local media. Thiel “deigned to make a flying visit to our cow town to share a few pearls of wisdom” and did so “tactlessly,” Kim Janssen wrote in the Tribune. A Chicagoist contributor called him a “cartoon villain.” In July, Thiel addressed the Republican National Convention, one of the few out gay men ever to do so. He voiced enthusiastic support for Trump while saying he didn’t “pretend to agree with every plank in our party’s platform,” which the gay GOP group Log Cabin Republicans called the most anti-LGBT in the party’s history, with its continued opposition to marriage equality and thinly veiled endorsement of “ex-gay” therapy. “But fake culture wars only distract us from our economic decline, and nobody in this race is being honest about it except Donald Trump,” Thiel added in his convention speech. Thiel’s funding of former pro wrestler Hogan’s invasion of privacy suit against Gawker Media has led some pundits to worry if freedom of the press becomes meaningless when a wealthy individual can bring down a journalism organization. It’s been reported that Thiel was angry with Gawker Media founder Nick Denton, also a gay man, because Thiel was outed on one of the company’s sites. But Denton recently said Thiel was more angry because of articles that mocked his political ideology and business strategies.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Chicago Republicans are happy about a decision in federal court that allows them to control the party affiliations of people serving in their party – something one would assume was the case, which wasn’t, until this week’s decision made it clear. Now a person can’t vote in Democrat primaries and serve as a Republican committeeman. Chicago GOP Chairman Chris Cleveland wrote the following to GOP Party Leadership today:)

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— Marijuana Makes for Slackers? Now There’s Evidence – SUSAN PINKER
http://www.wsj.com/articles/marijuana-makes-for-slackers-now-theres-evidence-1473953464
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In cities like Seattle and Vancouver, the marijuana icon has become almost as common on storefronts as the Starbucks mermaid. But there’s one big difference between the products on offer: A venti latte tastes the same everywhere and provides an identical caffeine rush, while marijuana stores offer the drug’s active ingredients in varying combinations, potencies and formats. There is no consistency in testing, standards or labeling. This matters because marijuana’s two psychoactive ingredients, tetrohydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD), have contrasting effects on the brain. “THC makes you feel high,” said Catharine Winstanley, a psychology professor at the University of British Columbia who does research on marijuana, while CBD “is responsible for its analgesic, antiseizure and purported anticancer effects.” In street marijuana, the THC-to-CBD ratio now tends to be 10 to 1, and it is increasing, a trend occurring even at some marijuana clinics, Dr. Winstanley said. And few people know what effect that has on their brains. A new study by Dr. Winstanley’s group in the Journal of Psychiatry and Neuroscience examines how these two chemicals shape our willingness to face a challenge. Does marijuana make us lazy?)

I lived with my parents and brother at 1286 Wood Street in Crete 1954-1969 and with my mother and brother there 1969-1972 after my father died in 1969.  According to Zillow (

My grandfather on my father’s side had the home built in 1926 on land that his grandfather bought in 1864.  My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always viciously demonized me, viciously denigrated me, and viciously condemned me as having been born with a silver spoon in my mouth and as having always been privileged.)

http://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/tim-graham/2016/09/13/bozell-graham-column-cnns-deplorable-smear-pence
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The CNN screen graphic at 6 pm on September 12 was blunt: “PENCE REFUSES TO CALL DAVID DUKE ‘DEPLORABLE.’” Mike Pence had granted Wolf Blitzer a 30-minute interview, and what he received in return was a reckless leftist smear.  Let’s be clear about this interview. Blitzer offered 39 hostile questions or interjections about Trump’s tax returns, medical records, charities, and offensive remarks before asking a single question about policy. In the middle of this contentious exchange, Blitzer arrived at Hillary Clinton’s gaffe calling Trump backers a “basket of deplorables.” Blitzer obnoxiously underlined that some Trump backers were truly deplorable: “David Duke, for example, some other white nationalists, who would fit into that category of deplorables. Right?”  Pence protested, “I’m not really sure why the media keeps dropping David Duke’s name. Donald Trump has denounced David Duke repeatedly. We don’t want his support, and we don’t want the support of people who think like him.” Blitzer pushed back: “Would you call him a deplorable? You would call him that?” Pence replied: “I’m not in the name-calling business, Wolf.” CNN ignored that denouncement of Duke and his backers. It was spiked in favor of a cheap National Enquirer-style “Pence Won’t Deplore Duke” headline. It’s the kind of gotcha journalism that has the public disgusted with the press.)

BOSTON HERALD
— Some Quick, easy steps to tell if you’re a deplorable – Howie Carr
http://www.bostonherald.com/news/columnists/howie_carr/2016/09/carr_some_quick_easy_steps_to_tell_if_you_re_a_deplorable
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In case you’ve been wondering which side you’re on, you may be a deplorable if you stand for the National Anthem. Or if you know all the words to the Pledge of Allegiance, especially, “under God.” Or if when you go to Market Basket, you tend to buy generic products, because you’re using your own money, not an EBT card. You may be a deplorable if you just got your car inspected. If you’re deployable, you’re definitely deplorable. If you wake before noon, if you call Islamic terrorists Islamic terrorists, if you don’t have an Obamaphone and you don’t believe that global warming is “settled science” — can you say deplorable? You may be deplorable if your passport, driver’s license and credit cards are all in the same name. Saying Merry Christmas — Deplorable with a capital D! You may be a deplorable if you wouldn’t mind showing some ID at the local precinct before you vote. You are most assuredly a deplorable if you have more than one job. You may be a deplorable if you’ve never used Western Union to wire welfare cash south of the border. You may be a deplorable if all of your children have the same last name — and it’s your last name. Or if while watching the second Monday night NFL game you were less irritated by the streaker than you were by all the fawning coverage of Colin Kaepernick on the pre-game show. You may be a deplorable if you resent training your H1-B replacement. Or the fact that the Earned Income Tax Credit is NOT earned. Nothing says deplorable like the National Rifle Association. If you liked your doctor and wanted to keep your doctor, if you wear pants rather than pajamas when you leave the house, if you were passed over for the job even though you got a 95 on the civil-service test — you know what you are. You may be a deplorable if you don’t think you should have to press one for English. If you lost your security clearance and your job for mishandling classified information, you are deplorable. You may be a deplorable if you identify as a member of the gender in which you were born. Or if you drained your 401(k) or took out a second mortgage on your house to pay for your kid’s tuition at UMass while the illegal alien down the hall goes on the arm. Or if you believe that good fences make good neighbors. You’re most definitely a deplorable if you have an American flag flying in your front yard. Or if you’ve never windsurfed with John Kerry on Nantucket, or stood in line with Sen. Warren at your local “cheese shop.” You are a deplorable if you believe All Lives Matter. If you’ve never needed a “safe space,” or heeded a “trigger warning” — deplorable. If you’ve gone to the www.howiecarrshow.com store and ordered a “Proud to be Deplorable” T-shirt — yes, you know very well what you are.)

On September 16, 1996, I presented oral arguments to Chief Judge Posner and Circuit Court Judges Coffey and Kanne.  On March 31, 1997, the Appellate Court ruled that DOT’s exemption for old cars was invalid.)

http://www.newsmax.com/TomFitton/immigration-voter-registration-judicial-watch/2016/09/12/id/747819/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Months after the Obama administration spent $19 million to register new immigrant voters that will likely support Democrats in November, it’s dedicating an additional $10 million in a final push as the presidential election approaches. The money is distributed by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the Homeland Security agency that oversees lawful immigration, to organizations that help enhance pathways to naturalization by offering immigrants free citizenship instruction, English, U.S. history, and civics courses. Officially, they’re known as “citizenship integration grants.”  Since 2009 USCIS has doled out $63 million in these grants to prepare more than 156,000 resident immigrants in dozens of states for U.S. citizenship, according to the agency’s figures. Besides the free classes, Uncle Sam also offers immigrants free “naturalization legal services,” the latest USCIS grant announcement states. “Recipient organizations serve both traditional immigrant destinations and new immigrant getaway cities in 21 states,” the USCIS document reads. The latest $10 million investment will prepare approximately 25,000 residents from more than 50 countries, according to the agency. More than a dozen states — including California, New York, Florida, Washington, and Ohio — with large resident immigrant populations are being targeted as well as cities with huge immigrant populations such as Miami, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, and Washington D.C.)

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-09-13/that-scandal-on-your-r-sum-will-cost-you-even-if-it-isn-t-yours
(FROM THE ARTICLE: You could get dinged on compensation, or even knocked out of  contention for a job, by a corporate scandal you had nothing to do with. The Enrons and Worldcoms and Wells Fargos hurt the careers of innocent bystanders. It’s a nasty and persistent reputational ripple effect that can be incredibly hard, and sometimes impossible, to counteract. Wells Fargo & Co., where bank employees tried to meet quotas and earn bonuses by opening sham accounts for customers without their knowledge, is the scandal of the hour. And it is executives in financial services firms that suffer the most from guilt by association, an article in the September Harvard Business Review suggests. Initial compensation at these executives’ next job is about 10 percent lower than for that their untainted counterparts, the authors found. Across industries, job functions, levels of seniority, and regions, executives with such companies on their résumés took a cut of 4 percent in total compensation. Women were dinged 7 percent to men’s 3 percent.)

— FLAGS CRUSHED, TRASHED AT SEPT. 11 MEMORIAL
http://abc7chicago.com/news/flags-crushed-trashed-at-sept-11-memorial/1508111/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Sept. 11 memorial was vandalized on a local college campus in Eagle Rock on the day of the terror attack’s 15th anniversary. On Saturday night, 2,997 American flags were placed in the quad of Occidental College by a student organization called Occidental College Republican Club. One flag was placed for each of the 9/11 victims who died. By early Sunday morning, the memorial was vandalized with flags found in the garbage and others destroyed. Posters shaming the victims of 9/11 were also found. Later that day, four students crushed and snapped several of the flags in half. Even after the flags were placed back in the ground, vandals returned to damage hundreds of them again. Students from the group were standing guard the rest of the day to protect the memorial. The school issued a statement to students and said that it plans to discipline those responsible for the crimes. The statement read in part: “We don’t yet know who is responsible for this incident, but the College is investigating and will take appropriate disciplinary action. If you have any information about this incident, please share that information with us at conduct@oxy.edu.”)

BOLINGBROOK PATCH
— Protest Planned for Donald Trump’s Bolingbrook Fundraiser  The date of the event has been pushed back to Sept. 19. – Scott Viau
http://patch.com/illinois/bolingbrook/protest-planned-donald-trumps-bolingbrook-fundraiser
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A protest is planned against Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump when he visits the Bolingbrook Golf Club for a fundraiser Sept. 19. The fundraiser was originally scheduled for Sept. 12, but was pushed back, according to the Chicago Tribune. A Change.org petition to keep Trump out of Bolingbrook has also been created and currently has 1,132 supporters. Created by Suburban Families Against Hate, the petition states that “Trump does not represent the interests nor the values of families in the suburban community of Bolingbrook. It is an insult to invite a billionaire to raise funds in a middle-class, hard working, vibrant, and diverse community.” Bolingbrook resident Michael Manolakes said on the petition that Trump’s rhetoric incites violence. “Donald Trump is a man who regularly uses rhetoric that incites violence at his rallies, and he condones violence by his supporters against dissenters,” Manolakes said. “I do not wish to have him speak at a facility built and maintained by my tax dollars.” The protest will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday, Sept. 19 at the Bolingbrook Golf Club, according to a Suburban Families Against Hate Facebook page. Tickets for Trump’s fundraiser are going as high as $250,000. For that, you get a photo op and a seat at a VIP table.)

http://www.thedrive.com/muscle-cars/5167/why-arent-americans-buying-muscle-cars
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The thing is, no one truly needs a muscle car. The trio mentioned above are most commonly bought by consumers who are looking for a throwback car to the American icons of the 1960s and ’70s. Beyond that, today’s muscle cars are some of the most impressive cars that this country has ever produced. The last-generation Camaro 1LEs and Z28s were brutally-capable track cars, the current Mustang GT350 is mind-blowingly competent car both on track and any country backroad, and we’re pretty sure the Dodge Challenger Hellcat has enough power to light the ground beneath it on fire. Many of these cars are like absolutely nothing else in the industry in some very attractive ways. So why have Americans stepped back from them? Or have Americans even stepped back? Let us know what you think in the comments.)

The restaurant had 45 employees at the time it closed, said Parthenon founder and owner Christos Liakouras. The state also alleged that the restaurant owed a variety of unpaid taxes, including withholding income tax and a food and beverage tax that goes to the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority. Liakouras said he expected he and his daughter and partner in the restaurant, Joanna Liakouras, would meet with their lawyer and with the feds to arrange for a payment plan. “We are going to go meet with the IRS, and I think they will get all their money, slowly but surely,” said Liakouras, 80.)

DAILY HERALD
— LESTER: Rauner jumps into 27th  After initially staying out of the process of selecting a replacement for departing GOP state Sen. Matt Murphy, the governor’s office and its allies have jumped into the fray. They held interviews for the six candidates Friday in Chicago. Among those questioning the candidates were the governor, chief political strategist Mike Zolnierowicz, John Tillman of the Illinois Policy Institute and Senate GOP Leader Christine Radogno. Local party leaders are scheduled to meet on Thursday to formally select a replacement. Palatine Township Republican Committeeman Aaron Del Mar of Palatine, state Rep. David Harris of Arlington Heights, state Rep. Tom Morrison of Palatine, Palatine Township Supervisor Sharon Langlotz-Johnson, Arlington Heights Trustee Joe Farwell and Rolling Meadows Mayor Tom Rooney are seeking the appointment.
http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20160912/news/160919787/
— LESTER: Murphy’s new job  What led Murphy, of Palatine, to leave the legislature and take a post at Mac Strategies Group, a public affairs firm headed by Des Plaines native Ryan McLaughlin? McLaughlin tells me he’d been thinking for some time about expanding the firm and describes a longtime friendship with Murphy. “I mentioned my interest in taking my firm to the next level by offering a lobbying practice beyond our communications and public affairs services and he mentioned his growing obligations to his family,” McLaughlin says. “As we talked more, it made all the sense in the world to join forces. It’s a natural and perfect fit.” Murphy previously has said that with four children, two of them in college, he needed more income than his $84,000 state pay ­– $67,000 base pay plus leadership stipends, with paychecks sometimes delayed by the state’s budget impasse. Mac Strategies has not disclosed Murphy’s new pay. McLaughlin says Murphy will work as a legislative and regulatory lobbyist with state and federal clients. He’ll also provide advice on communications and public affairs strategies. Murphy’s first day is Friday.

U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT AND WASHINGTON POST
— With backing of wealthy governor, Illinois GOP spending big  Illinois Republicans are vastly outspending Democrats in fall legislative races for the first time in recent history with the help of their wealthy governor – AP
http://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2016-09-12/with-backing-of-wealthy-governor-illinois-gop-spending-big
https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/with-backing-of-wealthy-governor-illinois-gop-spending-big/2016/09/12/3ed59d38-78ab-11e6-8064-c1ddc8a724bb_story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For the first time in recent history, Illinois Republicans are vastly outspending Democrats in fall legislative races with the help of a wealthy governor determined to curtail a traditionally blue political landscape that has thwarted his agenda for two years. The more than $13 million the GOP’s main campaign committee has disbursed to House and Senate candidates so far — nearly all of it coming from Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner — dwarfs what either party has been able to spend sometimes in entire election cycles. And the Illinois Republican Party Committee still has $3 million from Rauner in the bank. “This is a new ballgame and we’re taking it very seriously,” said Rep. Barbara Flynn Currie, the Democrats’ House leader. Infusions of cash from the former venture capitalist demonstrates how much — and how easily — he’s willing to invest in pursuit of his goal to give his party greater influence in the state Legislature. The November results could determine the fate of Rauner’s proposals to weaken unions, pass business-friendly laws, impose term limits, and change the way legislative districts are drawn for years to come. They also will decide who has control of crafting a full state budget, which Illinois hasn’t had for over a year because Rauner wants Democrats to give him what he wants in exchange for raising taxes to help with a deficit that exceeds $5 billion. Rauner was elected in 2014 as a political newcomer promising to shake up the Democrats’ regime, but they’ve had supermajorities to block all his major proposals. His entry into politics and the spending power he brought with him has allowed Republicans to compete in more races — and a lot earlier than past years when Democrats’ financial resources were superior. Democrats have controlled both chambers of the Legislature since 2003 and have the nation’s longest-tenured state House speaker, Michael Madigan, who has held that post for all but two years since 1983. When Rauner was elected, he became the first Republican in 12 years in Illinois, a Democratic stronghold that hasn’t backed a Republican for president since 1988. Before Rauner, the Illinois Republican Party Committee spent $3.4 million on races in 2012. The Democratic Party of Illinois, meanwhile, spent $6.7 million. Both parties distribute money to candidates through several other committees so those totals don’t tell the entire story, but they’re indicative of each party’s past spending prowess, according to campaign disclosures The Associated Press analyzed dating back to 2006 from the Illinois State Board of Elections. “There’s never been a time in recent history where House Republicans have outspent House Democrats. It’s been a considerable disadvantage,” said Rep. Jim Durkin, the GOP’s House leader. Breaking the Democrats’ supermajorities in either chamber won’t be easy because the party enjoys advantages of 71-47 in the House and 39-20 in the Senate. But Durkin said Rauner’s money “for the first time in many years gives us a fighting chance.” Rauner has repeatedly declined to comment on the legislative races or his involvement in them. On the Democrats’ side, their party committees have been less active than the Republicans’ this year. The Democratic Party of Illinois and the Democratic Majority — two of the party’s biggest committees — have contributed a combined $1.6 million to candidates so far. But the Democrats’ candidates have individually amassed robust campaign funds. Democratic Rep. John Bradley, for instance, has $647,160 at his disposal for his closely watched race against Dave Severin in southern Illinois. That’s what makes Rauner’s money so significant in a state where Democrats tend to be more successful fundraisers. The majority of Severin’s $300,000 in campaign cash has come from the House Republican Organization committee, which is receiving large deposits from the Illinois Republican Party to funnel to candidates. Republican Rep. Michael McAuliffe, who Democrats are targeting in the Chicago suburbs, has also benefited from Rauner’s funding. The House Republican Organization has contributed nearly $1 million to his campaign. Television ads supporting McAuliffe have been airing since August, earlier than when either party usually hits the air waves. McAuliffe’s ads have even played outside his district. In the past, Republicans would’ve been reluctant to spend money in August when voters are less engaged. They just couldn’t afford it. In 2012, for example, the Republicans’ two major party committees spent just over $2 million combined from July 1 through Sept. 30. “Some of this spending has nothing to do with the election. It has to do with Rauner flexing his muscle,” said David Yepsen, director of the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at Southern Illinois University-Carbondale. That display of financial force can influence who Democrats choose as their gubernatorial candidate next time because they’ll want someone who can self-fund or raise massive amounts of cash, Yepsen said. “Democrats, if they survive, they’re going to know they’ve been in a fight,” he said.)
