http://www.sj-r.com/news/20161021/election-preview-state-workers-key-in-jimenez-delgiorno-99th-house-race
(FROM THE ARTICLE: State workers make up a significant part of the 99th House District that covers a large part of Springfield and western and southern Sangamon County. It’s no coincidence, then, that a state worker issue is playing a significant role in the race between incumbent Rep. Sara Wojcicki Jimenez, R-Leland Grove, and Democratic challenger Tony DelGiorno of Springfield.)
— 1,100 non-union state workers getting $3,016 bonuses – Doug Finke  (DIERSEN: In 1989, the Democrats who ran GAO started their pay-for-performance system a) to retain and to promote their employees who were Democrat, minority, female, and/or younger and b) to get rid of their employees who were Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.  Of course, obviously, needless-to-say, without question, under that system, my Democrat GAO superiors always ranked me in the lower half of my coworkers and never gave me any bonuses.)
http://www.sj-r.com/news/20161021/1100-non-union-state-workers-getting-3016-bonuses
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Gov. Bruce Rauner’s administration is awarding one-time bonuses worth a total of between $3 million and $4 million to non-union workers whose bosses say are doing exceptional work. About 1,100 merit-compensation employees are in line to each receive a $3,016 bonus under the plan. “In an effort to recognize the hard work and dedication that non-bargaining unit employees demonstrate on a daily basis, coupled with the lack of systematic increases over the past several years, the state has authorized bonus payments for eligible non-bargaining unit employees,” Michael Hoffman, acting director of the Department of Central Management Services said in a memo to agency directors and others. “These bonuses do not make up for this unfair lack of wage increases for non-bargaining unit employees during previous administrations,” he said. “However, they do represent a commitment that, going forward, all employees will be treated equally, regardless of bargaining unit status.” Hoffman said the last across-the-board salary increase for non-bargaining unit employees was in 2005. The last merit pay program for them was in 2009. The memo says the bonuses are available to non-bargaining unit employees whose base salary as of July 1 was less than $100,000. Those earning more were not eligible. A number of other merit-comp employees were also excluded. Members of Rauner’s executive office were not eligible, nor were employees subject to Senate confirmation, those who left state employment before Sept. 16 and those who worked less than three months during the fiscal year that ended June 30. Rauner’s office said that left a potential pool of about 2,000 employees eligible for the bonus. In order to qualify, an employee had to receive an “exceptional” rating on his or her evaluation. Rauner’s office said about 1,100 employees got that rating. The size of the bonus was determined by adding all of the salaries of all non-bargaining unit employees making less than $100,000 a year, computing 2 percent of that and then dividing that amount by the number who actually qualified to receive it. That came to $3,016 for each of the workers who qualified. The administration has argued that a bonus system is cheaper than raises for the state in the long run because the payments are one-time and not built into a person’s base salary, and because they are not pensionable. The bonuses already have been issued to many, but not all, of the workers who qualify for them. The administration said it depends on how quickly individual agencies process them. Although the state is delaying payments to many organizations and vendors because of the traditional fall slowdown in tax collections, the bonus payments are being made. Rich Carter, spokesman for Comptroller Leslie Munger, said the bonus payments can’t be differentiated from regular payroll when agencies submit payroll information to the office for payment. “There’s nothing that says bonus on it,” he said. “They send us the payroll and we process the checks. As you know, we are required by court order right now to pay payroll on schedule.” In his memo, Hoffman said the bonus system is similar to one implemented in contract agreements the state has reached with 18 bargaining units representing state employees. Most of those workers belong to one of several Teamsters locals or trade unions. In those agreements, 2 percent of payroll was set aside to award performance bonuses. The administration and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, which represents about 38,000 state workers, still have not agreed on a new contract. The administration wants the union to accept a four-year wage freeze while also imposing a performance bonus plan. Bargaining stopped in January when state negotiators said they believed the talks were at an impasse. The Illinois Labor Relations Board is expected to rule on the issue next month. An administrative law judge who held hearings on the issue said she believed the two sides had reached impasse on some issues, but should continue bargaining over wages and benefits. ASFCME had no comment Friday on the administrations bonus payments to non-union workers.)

— Time for Supreme Court’s Ginsburg to retire – Diane Dimond (DIERSEN: How old are you?  In 1993, when I was 45 years old, to get rid of GAO employees who were Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran, my Democrat GAO superiors “offered” $25,000 buyouts to all GAO employees like me who had 25 or more years of federal service if they retired.  I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years and for the Post Office for almost 3 years before I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980.  Of course, obviously, needless-to-say, without question, once you have been “offered” a buyout and/or early retirement, your career is over.)

WOWT
— Public losing interest in public service – NBC (DIERSEN: Many millions have not and will not seek a job with the federal government a) because the pay and benefits are terrible, b) because the advancement opportunities are terrible, c) because they lack required education, work experience, professional certifications, and/or professional licenses, d) because they cannot pass an employment examination, e) because they cannot pass a background investigation, f) because they cannot pass a physical examination, g) because they cannot take the demonization, denigration, and condemnation that comes with being a federal employee or federal retiree, and/or h) because they are Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran and they know that the federal government discriminates against its employees who are Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)
http://www.wowt.com/content/news/Public-losing-interest-in-public-service-397972461.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Public service employment include those who serve in the military and government jobs, but what if the newest class of job candidates doesn’t want anything to do with it? “Bring back this sense of civic idealism that you can make a difference,” says Steven Olikara. Millennials are shying away from public service. At least that appears to be the trend according to Olikara, a millennial and founding president of the Millennial Action Project. The organization’s goal is to bring American politics into a more inclusive and bipartisan age by using the talents of younger generations. “There’s this larger narrative that we have to combat which is that you can’t make a difference in public service,” says Olikara. “The levels of distrust continue to be high levels. Something like 80 percent of millennials don’t trust the government to do the right thing.” Olikara says recruitment and compensation are two huge issues when it comes to incentivizing young people. “There is a systemic problem, we need cultural change and I think the biggest thing I hear all the time is we need to be rewarding talent and rewarding results.” Lawmakers who are not millennials are well aware of this issue, so Oklahoma Sen. James Lankford and North Dakota Sen. Heidi Heitkamp held a hearing to examine just that. “We think some of the best missions in the country are in public service, we just need to figure out how we’re going to communicate that to millennials,” says Sen. Heitkamp. She says 31 percent of the federal government is eligible for retirement in 2019. She and Lankford agree that a new wave has to come in and soon. Lankford says with long hiring processes, nothing is fast these days. “Now, almost 100 days to be able to hire one federal employee. That’s a major problem. Most people aren’t going to sit around and wait if they apply for a job even if they want to be able to serve their fellow citizen.” “Hopefully, we can spark some larger public debate around how we can encourage and incentivize,” says Olikara. Among the opportunities young people have is a White House internship program. If you’d like to learn more about the opportunities, visit whitehouse.gov/participate/internships.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Requiring employers to provide paid sick leave apparently is good for more than workers. Three of the key sponsors of a new Chicago ordinance mandating five days a year paid sick leave were honored at a fundraiser earlier this week thrown by a group known as the Political Fund of Illinois, and it looks like the group did pretty well. With ticket packages going for as much as $5,000, the event pulled in “in the six figures,” according to the fund’s Zack Koutsky, the legislative director of United Food and Commercial Workers Local 881, which sponsored the leadership PAC. “We had just over 100 people” at the event at Kendall College, including U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., and ex-Gov. Pat Quinn.)

ABC7
— PROTESTERS FACE OFF OUTSIDE TRUMP TOWER IN CHICAGO – Diane Pathieu and Leah Hope
http://abc7chicago.com/politics/protesters-face-off-outside-trump-tower-in-chicago/1560546/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Dueling groups of protesters faced off Tuesday in front of Trump International Hotel and Tower. Both groups said they want their voices heard and plan to keep supporting their candidate until Election Day. During the busy Tuesday morning rush hour, a group of self-described feminists carried graphic pro-women signs referencing lewd comments Trump made about groping women in a 2005 conversation with TV host Billy Bush. A recording of the exchange was made public this month. Many of the signs could not be shown on TV. But their message was clear: they believe Trump is a sexist, who has gotten away with years of mistreating women. “Women are angry. I mean, we’re tired of being silenced. Sexual assault and rape culture is nothing new so Trump is just giving us a visible reason, but I think a lot of women who are here today are here about things they have been feeling for a long time,” said Alicia Swiz, an anti-Trump protest organizer. Some gathered at the protest highlighted the power of the female vote, chanting “women united will never be defeated.” Another group, which was much smaller but just as vocal, was stationed across the street. They said they believe Trump is the right candidate for president, not Democratic Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton, and believe the women protesting him have a skewed view of reality. “Donald Trump loves women! He loves all of you [expletive],” a pro-Trump protester yelled. “I’m offended at the hypocrisy because they support a candidate that has Validated Bill Clinton’s sexual assault for decades. Hillary Clinton has enabled Bill Clinton. More women were sexually assaulted because of Hillary Clinton’s actions,” said Suzanne Monk, a pro-Trump protester. Dozens of Chicago police officers surrounded both groups and barricades were set up around Trump Tower to ensure a safe and peaceful environment. The Chicago protest was in conjunction with other anti-Trump protests across the country, including Washington D.C. and New York. Some of the women at Tuesday’s protest left to register to vote.)

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— Duckworth wants a bonus for Social Security recipients – GREG HINZ (DIERSEN: Civil Service Retirement System recipients like me get the same COLA that Social Security recipients get. The COLAs that I have received since I retired in 1997 have been far less then what inflation has been in Wheaton since 1997.)
http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20161018/BLOGS02/161019815/duckworth-wants-a-bonus-for-social-security-recipients
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Is she playing Santa Claus right before a big election? Or just helping out little folks who need money at the expense of greedy corporate types? Decide for yourself, but Democratic U.S. Senate hopeful Tammy Duckworth surely wants to get some attention with her renewed call today to give every single Social Security and SSA recipient, and those receiving veterans’ benefits, an annual 3.9 percent bonus. That could amount to $581 a head—”almost three months of groceries for seniors or a year’s worth of out-of-pocket costs on prescription drugs for the average Medicare beneficiary—Duckworth said in a statement. With roughly 70 million people getting the extra check, the total cost to the treasury would be about $40 billion. Duckworth’s action came in a joint statement with Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., one of the Senate’s leading progressives, a day after officials announced that the annual Social Security cost-of-living adjustment will be a near-invisible 0.3 percent for 2017 after zero this year. The Social Security Administration says the modest hike is all that’s warranted, given inflation. But Duckworth termed it “another disappointment” and “inadequate.” Warren and Duckworth said 3.9 percent amounts to the average percentage raise that top corporate CEOs received in the last year. And to pay for the Social Security bonus, the two would eliminate business’ tax deductibility for bonus payments on top of salary that some companies make to their chiefs. In fact, Duckworth’s office says, such corporate “performance” payments now amount to 55 percent of total CEO compensation. The underlying bill Duckworth and Warren favor to accomplish this has been stalled in the GOP-dominated Congress for a while. But they’re clearly hoping to jump-start it. Duckworth’s opponent, incumbent Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., had no immediate comment.)

ILLINOIS REVIEW
— IN FRONT OF BILLY GRAHAM CENTER IN WHEATON, “DONALD TRUMP IS ANTICHRIT” (DIERSEN: Of course, obviously, needless-to-say, without question, all elected officials who represent all or part of Wheaton, all candidates who are seeking to represent all or part of Wheaton, all officers of political parties that represent all or part of Wheaton, all those who have religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, and everyone else should strongly condemn this.)
http://illinoisreview.typepad.com/illinoisreview/2016/10/in-front-of-billy-graham-center-in-wheaton-donald-trump-is-antichrit.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: WHEATON – While evangelist Billy Graham’s son Franklin Graham stands solidly behind the Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, students at the elder Graham’s alma mater Wheaton College are evidently not in agreement. “Donald Trump is the ‘Anti-Chrit'”, a misspelled chalking said on the steps of the evangelical school’s Billy Graham Center. Although Graham has declared his continuing support for Trump despite videos revealing and rumors suggesting immoral behavior which Graham preaches against, he wrote on his Facebook page this week that he’s not condoning Trump’s behavior: “A lot of people are slamming evangelicals for supposedly giving Donald J. Trump a pass. That’s simply not true. No one is giving him a pass. I’m certainly not, and I’ve not met an evangelical yet who condones his language or inexcusable behavior from over a decade ago. However, he has apologized to his wife, his family, and to the American people for this. He has taken full responsibility. This election isn’t about Donald Trump’s behavior from 11 years ago or Hillary Clinton’s recent missing emails, lies, and false statements. This election is about the Supreme Court and the justices that the next president will nominate. Evangelicals are going to have to decide which candidate they trust to nominate men and women to the court who will defend the constitution and support religious freedoms. My prayer is that Christians will not be deceived by the liberal media about what is at stake for future generations.”)

WASHINGTON POST
— Federal retirees to get small sip of COLA – Eric Yoder (DIERSEN: Civil Service Retirement System recipients like me get the same COLA that Social Security recipients get. The COLAs that I have received since I retired in 1997 have been far less then what inflation has been in Wheaton since 1997.)
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2016/10/18/federal-retirees-to-get-small-sip-of-cola/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Annuity benefits to retired federal employees will increase by 0.3 percent in January, the government announced Tuesday, a cost-of-living adjustment that translates into a monthly boost averaging around $10. The adjustment, or COLA, to federal retirement benefits mirrors that for Social Security and is based on the change in an inflation index from the third calendar quarter of one year to the next. Tuesday’s announcement follows the release of the inflation figure for September, the last month of that count. As of Oct. 1, 2015, there were about 2,054,000 federal retirees plus about another 545,000 survivor beneficiaries, according to the Office of Personnel Management. There are about 44,500 retirees or survivor beneficiaries in the District, about 163,200 in Maryland and about 144,500 in Virginia. California has the most, 215,500. Seventy percent of federal retirees draw their benefits from the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS), which generally applies to those first hired before 1984; by contrast, more than 90 percent of current federal employees are under the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS), which generally applies to those first hired in 1984 or after. The average monthly annuity of a CSRS retiree as of October 2015 was $3,529, while the average for those retired under FERS was $1,355. Average monthly benefits for survivor beneficiaries of deceased retirees were $1,560 and $544, respectively. There was no cost-of-living increase under either federal retirement program or under Social Security in January of this year, because the inflation count for the measuring period toward that adjustment ended in negative territory. In that situation — which has happened two other times in recent years — benefits are not cut. The two federal retirement programs differ in that FERS employees pay into Social Security as well as into the federal retirement fund and become eligible for a benefit from that program. Social Security is not part of the CSRS system, although some under CSRS become eligible for a Social Security benefit through other work or through a spouse’s employment; in those cases, offsets commonly reduce or even eliminate that benefit. The average monthly Social Security benefit nationwide is $1,355. FERS employees also get employer contributions, of up to 5 percent of salary, toward the Thrift Savings Plan, the 401(k)-style retirement saving program for federal workers, while CSRS employees don’t. But while all CSRS retirees receive a full COLA regardless of age, those retired under FERS don’t receive COLAs until age 62 unless they fall under certain exceptions. Also, a FERS COLA is reduced if the inflation count exceeds 2 percent, a provision that hasn’t applied since the 2012 boost. A COLA applies only to retirees, not to active employees, most of whom are in line for a raise averaging 1.6 percent in January. Increases for the two groups are set through different processes, and the amounts don’t necessarily track each other. Federal retirees commonly use increases in their health insurance costs as a comparator to the COLA. In the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP) — for which most federal retirees are eligible — the enrollee share of premiums will increase by 6.2 percent on average in January. That translates into about $11 a month more on average for self-only coverage, about $22 more for self-plus-one coverage and about $28 more for family coverage. However, enrollees have the choice of many plans in an upcoming open season — 31 in the Washington area — and some insurers are holding premiums about steady or even decreasing them slightly. . .National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association President Richard G. Thissen said the developments show that the COLA increase should be determined by a separate inflation measure that specifically tracks spending patterns of retirees. “Given the large increase in health care and insurance costs, it is crystal clear that the current formula does not accurately reflect how seniors spend their limited annuities,” he said in a statement. Many federal retirees also are enrolled in Medicare, which acts as the first payer for those who also have FEHBP coverage. About half of those retired under the CSRS, along with certain other Medicare enrollees, could face much higher premiums for their Part B (physicians and related services) coverage in 2017 than others will pay. That’s due to a “hold harmless” provision protecting most enrollees from Medicare hikes that exceed the increase in their Social Security benefits — effectively passing the entire Medicare premium cost increase to those not protected. Next year’s Medicare premium rates are to be announced in November. Last year, Congress provided partial relief for the 2016 plan year for those affected, and a coalition including federal employee and retiree groups recently wrote to Congress seeking an extension. “Congress must act now to prevent a massive increase in Medicare Part B premiums for this group of retirees,” American Federation of Government Employees President J. David Cox Sr. said in a statement. “Although most seniors would be protected, this group will have to pay more solely because of the uniqueness of their pension system.”)

Smith  (DIERSEN: Should the time that I spend putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out be counted as a “monetary donation” to those who read the emails?  I spend 10+ hours each and every day putting the emails together and sending them out.  At $100 an hour, that is $1,000+ each and every day, $7,000+ each and every week, $30,000+ each and every month, $365,000 each and every year, and $3,650,000 each and every decade.)
http://www.fedsmith.com/2016/10/16/executive-order-seeks-to-increase-federal-employee-donations-to-cfc/

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Trump put stop to aides’ bid to research his personal past – Michael Sneed  (DIERSEN: Of course, obviously, needless-to-say, as everyone knows, that if you run as a Christian, as a conservative, and/or as a Republican, sooner or later, Democrats will take anything in your “personal past” that they can spin as being is being anti-Christian, anti-conservative, and/or anti-Republican and splash it all over their television stations, their newspapers, their radio stations, their websites, their etc. to paint you as being a Christian hypocrite, a conservative hypocrite, as a Republican hypocrite, and/or as an etc.-hypocrite.  What do you say to those who paint me as being a Christian hypocrite because I put GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together on Sunday mornings instead of attending Christian church services?)
http://chicago.suntimes.com/politics/sneed-trump-put-stop-to-aides-bid-to-research-his-personal-past/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It’s true. It’s so Donald. It’s totally shocking. In the wake of a report Donald Trump rebuffed attempts by top political aides to research his personal past, Sneed is told Trump personally told them he had “no appetite for a deep dive” into his personal life. “We knew he had this playboy image, but we thought much of his behavior had been covered in the New York tabloid papers due to his divorces from Ivana and Marla Maples,” said a top Trump source familiar with the inner workings of the early stages of the Trump campaign, who requested anonymity. “Besides, it was the beginning of the campaign and we thought for the primary at least we had enough information. Who knew we’d get this far,” said the source, who verified that Trump’s top campaign brass in the early part of his campaign requested a typical vetting examination for people seeking office. “He [Trump] was not interested in such a background evaluation. We were much more focused on his past and present stances on health care and abortion,” added the source. Now fighting a groundswell of female complaints of past Trump behavior and sexual assault, the free media Trump relied on in the past is now working against him. It’s his female critics who have now seized the free TV podium.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Village records show in the last financial year, which ended April 30, the state sent about $1.7 million to Round Lake Park as its share of taxes including motor fuel, income and video gambling. Murar said losing any of the state revenue to the pension fund would hurt daily operations. “We’re a small community, a small budget, small operating (expenses),” he said. “It would be very detrimental to the village and those services we provide to the citizens.” No opponents to the ballot question have publicly surfaced. Murar said supporters soon will start knocking on doors as part of a public information campaign.)

http://www.wjbc.com/2016/10/15/durbin-hopeful-gop-can-find-footing-after-election/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Despite the fact he’s a Democrat, U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) hopes to see the Republican party find its footing once the election is over. Durbin said he has respect for the GOP, but some of the divisive comments made during the election process so far have “unleashed a force in American politics” he’s never seen. “I’m counting on good, mainstream, conservative Republicans to step up for the good of the country to say, we’ll sit down – and Democrats do the exactly same thing, and say the election has to be behind us. We’ll stand by the president, whoever that may be,” said Durbin. “And we try to find common ground to solve the problems that face this country.” Durbin gave credit to Republicans who have begun backing off their support of Donald Trump. “The recent revelation of what he said to this Billy Bush fellow 11 years ago was the end of it for most,” said Durbin. “And now Paul Ryan, who is nominally the highest ranking Republican in America, has said he will no longer defend the Republican presidential candidate. “I didn’t think I’d live to see the day.” Durbin spoke to students this week on Illinois Wesleyan University’s campus.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Since when has the American public endorsed affirmative action? Yet it’s a major factor in the lives of every student and many workers. Since when did we decide that men and women are interchangeable in hand-to-hand combat on the front lines? Why do we insist on women in combat but not in the NFL? Because we take football seriously. That’s no joke; it’s the sad truth. Did we invite the federal bureaucracy to take charge of school bathrooms? I guess I missed that meeting. The schools are corrupt and the universities rotten to the core, and everyone has known it since the 1980s. But the Democrats are owned by the teachers unions, and Republicans have made only small-scale corrections to a system that needs to be ripped out and carefully disposed of, like poison ivy.)

HOT SPRINGS SENTINEL RECORD
— Pope sends US church message with cardinal choices – AP  (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, the Catholic Church acts like it is an arm of the anti-Christian, anti-conservative, anti-Republican, and anti-American Democrat Party.)
http://www.hotsr.com/news/2016/oct/15/pope-sends-us-church-message-with-cardi/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Pope Francis named 17 new cardinals on Oct. 9, adding like-minded prelates from dioceses big and small to the club who will elect the next pope. Three were Americans in a clear signal to the conservative U.S. church hierarchy that Francis wants moderate pastors at the helm of the U.S. church. The U.S. appointments also sent a more subtle political message, weeks before the U.S. election, with the surprise pick of Indianapolis Archbishop Joseph Tobin. Tobin has openly opposed efforts by Indiana Gov. Michael Pence, now Donald Trump’s running mate, to bar Syrian refugees from being resettled in the state. A U.S. federal appeals court recently used stinging language in a ruling that will prevent the Republican vice presidential candidate from barring refugee resettlement in Indiana for now. Francis has made the plight of refugees one of the hallmarks of his papacy, even bringing a dozen Syrian refugees home with him from Lesbos, Greece. He has asserted that anyone who wants to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border to keep out migrants — as Trump has proposed — is “not Christian.” “You can find a political message” in the Tobin appointment, said Massimo Faggioli, a Villanova University expert on the Vatican.)

 

GETTYSBURG TIMES
— National save for retirement week
http://davediersen.blogspot.com and http://capitalfax.blogspot.com
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Congress has dedicated the third week of October as National Save for Retirement Week. Clearly, the government feels the need to urge people to do a better job of preparing for retirement. Are you doing all you can?  Many of your peers aren’t – or at least they think they aren’t. In a recent survey conducted by Bankrate.com, respondents reported that “not saving for retirement early enough” was their biggest financial regret. Other evidence seems to show they have good cause for remorse: 52 percent of households 55 and older haven’t saved anything for retirement, according to a report from the U.S. Government Accountability Office, although half of this group reported having a pension.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/sns-bc-us–catholics-gays-20161012-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: An ideological tug of war over the firing of a Rhode Island church music director for marrying his same-sex partner illustrates the confusion that permeates some U.S. Roman Catholic parishes over Pope Francis’ words on homosexuality. Francis’ famous declaration “Who am I to judge?” in 2013 energized Catholics who had pushed the church to accept gays and lesbians. Now, some gay Catholics and supporters who hoped for rapid acceptance find themselves stymied by many bishops and pastors. Francis is being cited by both the music director, Michael Templeton, and by Providence Bishop Thomas Tobin, known for taking a hard line on church teaching about marriage and abortion. Tobin has criticized Francis, writing after the pope’s summit on the family two years ago that “Francis is fond of ‘creating a mess.’ Mission accomplished.” The pope has upheld Catholic teaching on homosexuality, reiterating the church’s opposition to same-sex relationships. But his shift in tone and broad statements about mercy have left a trail of comments that amount to a Rorschach test open to interpretation, say those who have closely followed Francis.)

— SEPTEMBER 13, 2012 FLASHBACK: Wheaton group home (SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_home) for developmentally disabled moves forward  Proposed 15-resident care location would be northeast of downtown Wheaton – Bob Goldsborough
http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2012-09-13/news/ct-tl-wheaton-group-home-20120913_1_group-care-home-wheaton-stars
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Plans for a proposed 15-resident group care home for developmentally disabled individuals just northeast of downtown Wheaton cleared another hurdle, as the city’s Group Care Home Commission voted 3-1 to grant the project a necessary group care home license. The Wheaton-based nonprofit STARS Family Services, which operates another four-person group care home called Washington House on Wheaton’s north side, wants to construct a new group care home on vacant land at the southeast corner of Cross Street and Union Avenue. The project would be constructed on land currently owned by St. John Lutheran Church, zoned for single-family residential use and used for two parking lots. Plans call for two structures that would be linked by a common courtyard. Each would have six private bedrooms, a great room, a shared kitchen and shared baths for each pair of bedrooms. The project also will include housing for a couple who would live in the home and oversee the evening and the overnight. A volunteer or staff person also will be present in the home during the day. The project has drawn opposition from some neighbors, who criticize the scale of the proposal. In addition, they have questioned STARS’ financial strength and how the home would be used were STARS to no longer be economically viable. “None of the neighbors oppose a group care home,” said neighbor Kathy Langlois. “We embrace it, we applaud it and we welcome it. And it’s absolutely not a case of ‘Not in my back yard.’ It’s a question of scale.” Langlois also said she and her neighbors would welcome the construction of one single-family home on the site. “What happens if STARS runs out of money?” she asked. “This will be a group care home. It can’t go back to being a single-family home.” STARS president Ray Chase noted that the organization has taken great pains to ensure its financial viability. STARS plans to pay cash for the land and has vowed never to open a group care home until it has 150 percent of that home’s projected first year’s operating expenses. In addition, STARS’ College Avenue resale shop generates more than 40 percent of the group’s annual need, he said. “I think we’re pretty stable,” he said. “I think we’ve taken a very conservative approach financially.” Chase also said the group is continuing to try to work with neighbors. “We’ve also done some things to make sure the home looks like it would fit in a neighborhood and isn’t overwhelming in size,” Chase said. “There even are architectural variations between the two homes so they look like different homes.” Wheaton’s Planning and Zoning Board unanimously voted in June to recommend that the City Council approve the project. Last week, three-fourths of the Group Care Home Commission’s members signed off on the project as well. Group Care Home Commission board member Chris Ellerman praised STARS for proposing two linked structures rather than one larger one. He also lauded the group’s model, which involves a married couple living with the developmentally disabled adults, with the adults’ aging parents or relatives being involved on a weekly basis and typically coming by to visit over the dinner hour. “In terms of a home for disabled adults in the community they have grown up in, absolutely,” Ellerman said. “This is their town. I live two blocks away, and I’d be ashamed if I didn’t want to welcome them in my community..” Group Care Home Commission board member Matthew McNear was the lone vote against the license. In an interview on Friday, he noted his concerns about the “scope” of the proposed home and some of the other issues that neighbors had raised. “I think STARS is a great organization and they do a lot of good there, but I think this probably could use some more discussion or some more review,” he said. With the group care home license now in hand, the proposal next heads to the Wheaton City Council for its consideration, likely sometime in October, said Jim Kozik, the city’s director of planning and economic development.)

The most that I ever earned in today’s dollars was a lousy $120,427 a year.  Of course, needless-to-say, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes use that to demonize me, to denigrate me, and to condemn me as being a failed loser and even worse things.)
http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20161013/NEWS04/161019898/would-you-be-unhappy-with-780000-a-year
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The average total compensation for partners at Chicago law firms increased 13 percent in the last two years to $780,000, according to a new study. The growth rate eclipsed New York, where partners in the country’s largest legal market averaged $1.7 million annually, but compensation only went up 5 percent from 2014. By contrast, partners in San Francisco saw their comp shoot up 51 percent to $997,000, according to the report from New York-based legal recruiters Major Lindsey & Africa. The survey sample included more than 2,100 partners from across the country, with 244 from Chicago. The survey only went to lawyers practicing at the country’s largest firms; approximately 8,600 of Cook County’s more than 45,000 lawyers work at such operations. The city’s partners had the 10th highest average compensation among the 14 legal markets ranked by the headhunting firm. Growth in compensation has slowed since the last time the firm conducted the survey: Between 2012 and 2014, comp for the city’s senior lawyers grew nearly 20 percent from $575,000. Chicago’s lower compensation average may stem from the city’s historic practice of making lawyers partner at a younger age, said Jeffrey Lowe, the Washington D.C.-based author of the study. More of the partners taking the survey in Chicago are likely billing at the same rates as associates elsewhere in the country. Chicago’s billing rates, too, are a comparative bargain compared to the rest of the country. Partners in Chicago on average billed at $687 per hour. Only Philadelphia, Atlanta, Dallas, Seattle, Miami and “other” markets had lower rates. Just over a quarter of Chicago’s partners rated themselves as either “not at all” or “not very” satisfied with their compensation.)

— Group home for young mothers proposed for former Wheaton Inn – ERIC SCHELKOPF
http://www.mysuburbanlife.com/2016/10/12/group-home-for-young-mothers-proposed-for-former-wheaton-inn/a8390an/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A group home for new and expectant single mothers is being proposed for the former Wheaton Inn building at 301 W. Roosevelt Road in Wheaton. The Clarendon Hills-based company Love From Above Inc. has a contract to purchase the building from its current owner, PCM Properties LLC, a subsidiary of Invesco PowerShares. The group is set to close on the property in December. Love From Above plans to offer a two-year transitional housing program for women who find themselves in “crisis pregnancies,” said Yvonne Florczak-Seeman, president and founder of Love From Above. A culinary program and fashion design program also will be offered, she said. “We’ll also have a full-blown child care program, where their children will stay within the building,” Florczak-Seeman said. “Babies will be taken care of by volunteers while the moms go to school. We’ll have a full-time licensed teacher on the premises as well who will also work with them on their homework and give classes on finances and mothering classes.” The program would be offered to women 18 to 26 years old, she said, and would serve both expectant mothers and single mothers. The facility would serve up to 12 women. This would be the company’s first facility, which will be called The Butterfly Garden…A Place for Healing and Transformation. Florczak-Seeman, who is 52, experienced an unplanned pregnancy herself when she was 16. “Unfortunately, the choice for me was made to have an abortion,” she said. “I didn’t have any other options. That abortion brought forth some very serious emotional, physical, psychological and spiritual aftermath.” Florczak-Seeman said she wants those in the program to understand “pregnancy is not a terminal disease.” “Pregnancy is not something that will kill them,” she said. “Pregnancy is something that lasts nine months. During that time, they can still continue their education. They can still do what they need to do. They can still have these children and be great mothers, and be successful young ladies in school.”)

DUPAGE POLICY JOURNAL
— Former COD board member Savage asks federal government to shut down DuPage Policy Journal – Chandra Lye  (DIERSEN: Who funds you?  Rich Miller says “I don’t know who funds Illinois Review, but I’m fine with them, too. Stay the heck away.”  David John Diersen funds GOPUSA ILLINOIS (
www.gopillinois.com) and the emails that it has sent out free of charge and without any advertising since 2000.  Those emails have a) gone out each and every morning since 2004 and each and every evening since 2015 and b) included links to more than 247,700 articles and information on many upcoming events.)
http://dupagepolicyjournal.com/stories/511018371-former-cod-board-member-savage-asks-federal-government-to-shut-down-dupage-policy-journal
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The filing questions the independence of the DuPage Policy Journal — alleging it is run by a political organization — and contends it should not be entitled to press exemption from campaign finance laws. Savage’s filing alleges the DuPage Policy Journal is not an independent newspaper, but rather is controlled by the Liberty Principles PAC through Dan Proft. Proft is a businessman, a radio talk-show host and a principal of Local Government Information Services, which owns the DuPage Policy Journal. Proft denied allegations made in the FEC filing and said the newspaper is owned by a private company. “It’s a legitimate newspaper just like any other newspaper,” Proft told the Associated Press. “I’ll put the stories we do on politics and policy up against any other newspaper in the state.” Rich Miller, publisher of the Capital Fax political blog and newsletter, agreed in a post that the problem with the filing is that the newspaper is owned by a private company. “Look, I do not want the federal government defining what is and is not a legit media company,” Miller wrote. “Progress Illinois does good work, but it gets most of its money from SEIU. I don’t know who funds Illinois Review, but I’m fine with them, too. Stay the heck away.” The FEC has 15 days to get a response from those accused in the complaint. It will then make a decision on whether to launch a full investigation.)

Only 12 percent of voters say revenue alone is the answer.)
