incident – Marie Wilson https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20191106/naperville-police-chief-no-evidence-of-hate-crime-in-buffalo-wild-wings-incident (FROM THE ARTICLE: The
confrontation was triggered by a white man, who officials have not identified,
whose comments led managers at the restaurant to ask the party of 18 to move.
Fuller said the man, who does not live in Naperville, has been notified he is
banned from all Buffalo Wild Wings locations and the company is working on
protocol to ensure the ban is enforced “within the bounds of the
law.” . . . Buffalo Wild Wings says the managers — both women, one black,
one white — were fired after the company’s internal investigation. Fuller said
the host involved is a black man who quit his job the evening of the
confrontation. . .Buffalo Wild Wings already was in the process of rolling out
a diversity and sensitivity campaign and training program called RESPECT,
Fuller said. A poster in the back of the restaurant was in place and the
company is taking steps to begin enhanced training. Fuller, along with Buffalo
Wild Wings President Lyle Tick and a regional manager, met Tuesday with
Naperville Mayor Steve Chirico and city council member Benjamin White.
“They were very forthright. They described their internal investigation
and their decision to remove the employees who were removed,” Chirico
said. “They apologized for the painful experience for the families as well
as the image of the city.” White said the community “is taking a
hit” from the fact the encounter occurred within its boundaries.
“People are asking me, ‘Are we a racist town?'” White said. “I
don’t want it to give a false perception of our community.”)

Illinois may be one of the best places to retire because of its tax policies
for older citizens, but this could mean negative consequences for the younger
generations. According to the BGA, of 41 states that have an income tax, only
three – Illinois, Pennsylvania and Mississippi – do not tax retirement income.
Many states exempt some retirement income, such as pension or Social Security
benefits, the BGA reported.)
