(FROM THE ARTICLE: In Lake Bluff, village board members were scheduled to address a resolution in late June that would prohibit businesses wanting to offer recreational marijuana products from starting up in the village until officials can craft and agree on appropriate regulations, village officials said recently. Lake Forest officials, meanwhile, are planning to host an upcoming workshop, where, they said, they plan to address different issues related to recreational marijuana use. As part of the resolution in Lake Bluff, village board members would direct the Lake Bluff Plan Commission and Zoning Board of Appeals to make recommendations to the board regarding possible regulations affecting recreational cannabis businesses. “State law requires that we allow medical cannabis facilities, but we have the power to ban recreational cannabis facilities,” said Glen Cole, assistant to the village administrator in Lake Bluff. Medical marijuana dispensaries already are permitted to operate in certain portions of the village once a special-use permit is granted, Cole said. During a meeting in early June, Village President Kathy O’Hara said officials plan to consult with village attorneys as they go about developing regulations and weigh the ramifications of legalized recreational marijuana use in Illinois. “We are going to push the pause button,” O’Hara said. “I am going to be bringing back to the board for discussion what best fits our community and where we want to go with this.” The upcoming workshop in Lake Forest also should allow city officials the opportunity to weigh the possible effects of legalized marijuana use in the community, said City Manager Jason Wicha. “We’ll see some policy direction from the city council on how they want to proceed,” Wicha said of the meeting. Wicha said Lake Forest staff members still are reviewing the specifics of the bill that awaits Pritzker’s signature, but he said the city believes provisions are in the bill that could prevent marijuana dispensaries from coming to Lake Forest. “I know that is something that the council is going to want to look at,” he said.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Illinois Trucking Association says that although marijuana use will be legal shortly in the state, truck drivers need to be held to a high standard. Drivers will not be allowed to have any THC in their system. Leaders say legalization of the drug could put an extra strain on an industry that is already struggling to attract new workers. “We are concerned this may limit the limited pool that we already have and make it even smaller to get more drivers driving our trucks,” said Matt Hart, executive director of the Illinois Trucking Association. The trucking industry employs 300,000 people in Illinois.)

https://globalnews.ca/news/5382584/unconscious-bias-shakil-choudhury/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: An unconscious bias is a hidden or unintentional preference that usually has something do with our group identity — like our race, culture, or location — and it runs deep. The human brain takes in millions of pieces of information a second but only processes a handful. As our brain categorizes information and filters out the noise, it creates shortcuts, or unconscious bias. These shortcuts lead to assumptions that are hidden even from ourselves. Choudhury says unconscious bias is behind a lack of diversity in leadership positions in the workplaces due to “cultural cloning.” “Our tendency is to promote those who are most like the decision makers, like the people who have always been here,” said Choudhury. “Unconsciously we are drawn to people who talk like us, joke around like us, whose kids are part of the same hockey teams as us. Those are our in-group biases.” Unconscious bias is also a factor in determining who gets hired in the first place, says Choudhury.)

I started in 1966 when I was 18 earning $16.15/hour in today’s dollars and ended in 1997 earning $127,654/year in today’s dollars. During those almost 30 years, I took job-related college courses during 22 of those years (1966-1983 and 1992-1997). I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32.)

FORBES
— The Damage Of Lesser Damages In The Age Discrimination In Employment Act – Patricia Barnes (DIERSEN: All my critics/opponents, all their operatives, and all their dupes promote age discrimination a) because they want to get rid of those who are older than they are and/or b) because they want to curry favor with those who promote age discrimination.)
https://www.forbes.com/sites/patriciagbarnes/2019/06/12/the-damage-of-lesser-damages-in-the-age-discrimination-in-employment-act/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Age discrimination is the least profitable type of discrimination for workers. In other words, the potential amount of damages available to age discrimination victims is far lower than the amount of damages that are available to victims of other types of discrimination. This reality has terrible consequences for combating the problem, and surely contributes to the epidemic nature of age discrimination in America. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 provides victims of discrimination based on race, sex, religion, color and national origin with a full menu of damages, including monetary, compensatory (i.e. damages for emotional distress), and punitive damages. Federal courts always award attorney fees to prevailing plaintiffs in Title VII cases. Not so the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA). The ADEA does not treat age discrimination like a serious civil rights violation. Instead, age discrimination is accorded the same severity as an employer’s failure to pay workers’ overtime or holiday pay. The damages provision of the ADEA is taken not from Title VII but from the Fair Labor Standards Act, a federal law that regulates the payment of wages by employers. The ADEA allows age discrimination victims to recover for monetary loss only, sometimes doubled if the plaintiff can prove “willful” discrimination. Like all civil rights laws, one of the functions of the ADEA is deterrence. The very existence of the law is supposed to discourage employers from engaging in age discrimination. But the lack of potentially big-ticket damages associated with compensatory and punitive damages detracts from the deterrence value of the ADEA. Worse, the ADEA does not guarantee an award of attorney fees to a winning plaintiff.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Where is the transparency? Where is the respect? In less than six months, the Helena City Commission has been able to weaken Helena’s city departments, processes and strategic partnerships, resulting in a culture of distrust by hiring their handpicked city manager to implement their agendas and clean house. We are retired city employees who care about current employees and community groups that we had the honor of serving with in a productive and respectful environment. We retired before the new city manager was hired, and while it may appear we have an “ax to grind,” we simply care about the future of this city and staff. This letter strives to raise awareness and encourage Helena citizens to get involved and stay engaged. The 2019 City Commission election filing deadline is Monday. There are plenty of facts and documentation to support these concerns. However, for the protection of staff, details will not be disclosed in this format. Where is the community conversation? There appears to be a lack of public process and participation related to recent recommendations and decisions. City advisory boards are “informed” of decisions rather than consulted in a collaborative effort, and their recommendations are ignored. Longstanding and effective partnerships are dismissed and dismantled while priority is given to the rhetoric of entitled special interest groups and disgruntled individuals without any regard to the greater community benefit and other legitimate user groups. Research and you will find that decisions are made outside the framework of city ordinance and that contracts are being awarded without following a competitive process. We are concerned there is a total disregard for city code and legal processes. Is this transparency?)

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

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