Illinois seems to creep toward full legalization of marijuana, it might be
useful to consider some of the experiences of states where it already has been
legalized. Washington and Colorado legalized recreational use in 2012. Oregon
followed suit in 2014. A marketing firm, DHM Research, surveyed users in those
three states. The results were reported in a national story, which ran earlier
in The Daily Journal. Here’s what to expect: • If marijuana is legalized, use
will increase. Those who use will up their consumption, in some cases moving
from weekend recreation to every day. Some 44 percent of the legal consumers
will use marijuana every day. • It is a male thing. Sixty percent of the users
are men. If you have concerns about the growing inequity of men moving on to
and graduating from college, this might give you pause. • Finally, and most
disturbing, about one in every four users will go to work high or get high at
work. We only can hope these people are not driving trucks, flying airplanes or
designing bridges. There is a solid social trend toward legalization.
Historically, society rotates those social ills it forgives and those it punishes
severely. States, too, greedily eye the taxes they might collect to feed their
bureaucracies. As we legalize, we also must regulate with common sense. There
might be, perhaps, no penalty at all for smoking marijuana in your home. Yet if
you choose to, say, jeopardize someone else’s life by being irresponsible, jail
time would be more than appropriate.)

— Why Are 2020 Democrats Embracing Slavery Reparations? – MATT MARGOLIS
(DIERSEN: The Democrats who run the federal government use Affirmative Action
(AA), Diversity, Inclusion, up-or-out, early retirement, etc. to get rid of
their employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who they
did not promote to GS-13 (currently $98,198) by age 25, GS-14 (currently
$116,040) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $136,495) by age 35, and Senior Executive
Service (SES) (currently $165,500) by age 40. AA is reparations. Who has paid
the price of AA? Few, if any, of my critics/opponents, their operative, or
their dupes have paid the price of AA in any significant way. If I had been a
minority or a female, the federal government would have promoted me into its
SES long before I was 40 years old. However, because I am White, male,
non-veteran, someone who complained about political affiliation discrimination,
reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, and someone who became an
active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse
discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, they took many adverse
actions against me including forcing me to take their early retirement
“offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.) https://pjmedia.com/trending/why-are-2020-democrats-embracing-slavery-reparations/ (FROM THE ARTICLE:
Spoiler alert, Senator Booker: It won’t solve any problems. It won’t satisfy anyone.
What exactly do proponents of slavery reparations believe that they will do
that affirmative action policies in education, employment, awarding of
government contracts, etc., etc. couldn’t? If the election of Barack Obama to
the highest office in the land (despite his radicalism and lack of
qualifications) wasn’t proof that we, as a nation, have moved far beyond the
days of slavery, then what will? A check? For how much? Will we finally be able
to put an end to affirmative action policies? Of course not, that’s not the
point.)

say you’re sitting in Starbucks on a lovely spring day, just enjoying a cup of
their burnt, overpriced coffee and minding your own business. Suddenly, a
complete stranger walks up and starts screaming at you because you’re wearing a
red baseball cap with a slogan popularized by the current president of the
United States. This angry woman, who you’ve never met in your life, calls you a
“Nazi” and a “racist” and claims you “hate brown
people.” She exhorts the rest of the coffee shop to rise up against you,
and follows you out to the parking lot to yell at you some more. Then, after
you escape, this complete stranger posts your picture on Facebook, vowing to
find out where you live and work so she can make you “feel as unsafe as
[you]
made every brown person [you] met today.” All because you were wearing
a hat she didn’t like. This actually happened in real life, earlier this week
in Palo Alto.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Naperville City Councilman Kevin Coyne criticizes DuPage GOP, announces run
for county board – Erin Hegarty https://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/naperville-sun/news/ct-nvs-naperville-council-coyne-dupage-county-board-st-0405-story.html (FROM THE ARTICLE:
Naperville City Councilman Kevin Coyne used a Facebook post early Wednesday to
blast the DuPage County Republican Party and announce his bid to run for the
DuPage County Board in District 5. Posting after Tuesday’s election votes had
been counted, Naperville City Councilman Kevin Coyne wrote the DuPage County
Republican organization did not do enough to get GOP candidates elected and
said his county board candidacy should be seen as an effort to “stand up for
conservative principals.” “I would say I think the Republican party right now
is really struggling locally, and I hope to add a new voice for GOP voters,”
Coyne said in a phone interview Wednesday. “I hope to be able to offer that
voice on the DuPage County Board.” Coyne said he plans to run in the 2020
county election, pursuing the seat currently held by James Healy, a Naperville
resident who has been on the county board since 1996. Seats held by District 5
board members Sadia Covert and Dawn DeSart are not up for election until 2022.
In his post on his Naperville City Councilman Facebook page, Coyne said the
DuPage GOP had “another embarrassing showing” in the most recent election
cycle. “While the DuPage Democrats’ local leadership organize candidate forums,
canvassing drives and social media initiatives throughout DuPage County, our
DuPage GOP does what it usually does … nothing,” Coyne wrote. “Our once great
DuPage GOP organization has become a shell of its former self. “The DuPage GOP
has successfully handed both our County and the City of Naperville over to the
Illinois’ Democratic Party. I am unwilling to let this stand!” Coyne repeated
the criticism Wednesday. “The party around here was in power for a very long
time and I don’t think ever adapted to the way in which politics has changed.
The results for GOP folks have been very damaging.” Coyne said he made the post
on his official Naperville City Council page because he thought it important to
let people who follow local politics know of his plans to run for the county
board. The post had drawn more than 50 comments as of Wednesday morning, many
criticizing Coyne for talking about partisan politics when the council is
elected as a nonpartisan body. “I will present a platform focused on reducing
the size of government, reducing real estate tax levies and protecting LIFE …
both as a supporter of pro-life initiatives and as a supporter of our
constitutional right to bear arms,” Coyne wrote in the Facebook post. “I look
forward to keeping my supporters abreast of my platform and to fighting for
pro-life and small government reforms in DuPage County,” the post said. “We are
better than what we have shown in recent elections. Republican voters in DuPage
County need someone that will stand up for conservative principals! I ask
conservative voters in DuPage County’s District 5 to give me the chance to be
their voice. Much more to come….”)

candidacy – Justin Kmitch https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190403/naperville-councilman-bashes-dupage-gop-announces-county-board-candidacy (FROM THE ARTICLE: A
Naperville City Council member, unhappy with what he called a lack of
aggression from the DuPage County Republican Organization in recent elections,
took to Facebook early Wednesday to slam the party and announce his candidacy
for DuPage County Board. Kevin Coyne, a business attorney who has served on the
council since 2015, posted on his city council Facebook page that he’s tired of
seeing local Democrats lead candidate forums and social media initiatives while
Republicans stand on the sidelines. “Our once great DuPage GOP
organization has become a shell of its former self,” Coyne wrote around 2
a.m. “It does nothing to support local or State R candidates.” Coyne
said he will offer a new voice and perspective to Republican voters next
November when he runs for the DuPage County Board District 5 seat currently
held by attorney James Healy of Naperville. Healy did not return a call seeking
comment Wednesday. Several of Coyne’s followers were quick to criticize him for
discussing partisan politics while he sits on the historically nonpartisan city
council. Others praised him for taking a stand. Reached Wednesday, Coyne
doubled down on his social media comments. “I think the Republican Party
around here was in place and successful for so long that I just don’t think
they ever had to adapt to the new times with social media,” Coyne said.
“I just think the general manner in which they have been running things is
outdated. They’re not aggressive enough. There’s no outreach and there’s very
few social media posts. We need new energy and life in the party.” DuPage
Republican Chairman Brian Krajewski did not return calls Wednesday.)

city’s first new mayor in 12 years. He will succeed Michael Gresk, who did not
seek re-election. Suess made city taxes a signature campaign issue. In each of
the past four years, he’s voted against raising property taxes “at a time
when the city has consistently underspent its budget, has generated higher than
expected surpluses and has maintained reserves in excess of stated
targets.” On Wednesday, Suess said he believes his record helped him win
the election. “I have been on the council for 14 years,” he said.
“I have been very consistent in my positions over that period of time. I
think our ability to win this election was a reaffirmation of the things we’ve
been doing.”)

was elected in 2014 with former Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner. . .Republican

QUICKEN
— Forced into Retirement? Here’s What You Need to Know – Molly Grace (DIERSEN:
I should write a book about forced early retirement.) https://www.quickenloans.com/blog/forced-retirement-heres-need-know (FROM THE ARTICLE: If
you’re approaching retirement age, you might be thinking about how long you’ll
need to continue working to ensure you have the finances to last throughout
your retirement. Unfortunately, you might not have much of a say in the matter.
A recent analysis from ProPublica and the Urban Institute shows that more than
half of older U.S. workers are pushed out of their jobs before they plan to
retire – even those who are in steady, long-held positions. Many of these
workers find it difficult or even impossible to get back to their previous
income level, putting their financial health at risk. Some of these individuals
will have to take on new, lower paying positions just to make ends meet,
finding themselves working twice as hard just to make half as much as they did
at their previous positions. Those who have to leave the workforce due to
personal issues that prevent them from taking on new work are faced with the
difficult task of making their already lackluster retirement savings stretch even
thinner. What can older workers do if they find themselves out of a longtime
job they relied on and facing a suddenly uncertain retirement? Let’s look at
some steps you can take in the short and long term to ensure your financial
security. Why Are Americans Being Forced into Retirement? The majority of job
losses among workers over 50 are employer-driven, not due to personal issues
like ailing health. This often comes in the form of layoffs or deteriorating
work conditions that, intentionally or not, subtly edge out these workers.
While age discrimination in the workplace is illegal, it unfortunately does
happen. If you believe you have sufficient evidence that you have been a victim
of age discrimination, you may want to speak with a lawyer. Another reason
workers retire earlier than planned is personal circumstances that prevent them
from continuing work, often due to poor health or having to take care of a
family member, like an ill spouse.)
