CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD IN NAPERVILLE SUN: BEYOND DISGUSTING, BEYOND TRAGIC: 2 companies are requesting approval to sell recreational cannabis in Naperville as city council prepares to discuss restrictions – ERIN HEGARTY (DIERSEN: For a municipality to allow the sale of recreational pot is to flush its “family friendly” status down the toilet. Each and every Naperville resident should urge Naperville’s Mayor and each of its City Council members by email (https://www.naperville.il.us/government/meet-your-city-council/) and at City Council meetings (the next one is Tuesday, July 16) to vote to ban the sale of recreational pot in Naperville ASAP. Similarly, each and every Wheaton resident should urge Wheaton’s Mayor and each of its City Council members by email (https://www.wheaton.il.us/544/City-Council) and at City Council meetings (the next one is Monday, July 15) to vote to ban the sale of recreational pot in Wheaton ASAP.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Before the requests from Green Thumb Industries and Grassroots Cannabis can be considered, however, the Naperville City Council must decide if they will allow pot to be sold within city limits and, if yes, what kind of restrictions should be in place and what kind of tax should be charged. The discussion will start at Tuesday’s council meeting. . .While municipal officials cannot restrict the consumption of cannabis in their towns, they can opt out of allowing adult-use cannabis dispensaries or place restrictions on such things as the number allowed and where they can be located, according to city documents. The new law allows only companies with existing medical marijuana dispensaries to begin selling recreational pot Jan. 1. Those companies will be allowed to sell cannabis from their current medical locations and one additional retail location, if approved by the municipality. There are currently 55 medical cannabis dispensaries in Illinois. Future dispensary licenses are expected to be issued by the state to non-medical license holders beginning in mid-2020. Should city council members approve the sale of recreational cannabis, Naperville officials would have to amend zoning code. The city can change its existing medical cannabis ordinance so it applies to adult-use cannabis dispensaries, city documents said. The ordinance as currently written includes language on where dispensaries are permitted and how far they must be from schools and residential areas.)

— Illinois voters aren’t always the ones picking lawmakers to serve in Springfield – Greg Bishop

(FROM THE ARTICLE: When a state lawmaker resigns his or her position before a term is up, state law gives the power of appointment to the lawmaker’s political party in that jurisdiction rather than voters. . .University of Illinois Chicago politics professor Chris Mooney said he doesn’t expect the appointment process to change. “It advantages those who are inside and if they’re the only ones paying attention, who has the incentive to change? No one,” Mooney said. “And there are reasonable counter-arguments to make.” One reason to keep the appointment process in place is the high cost of special elections, Mooney said. “You want to run a special election for a state representative district that’s going to serve out a year when nobody really knows who these people are anyway? That would be a hard sell,” Mooney said. He said the appointment process laid out in state statute is inside baseball and done by both parties with little input from voters. “It’s another way that they can advantage themselves if they so desire and if they’re able to manipulate the process,” Mooney said. He said the process takes advantage of a lack of voter knowledge about their state legislators and exacerbates it.)

I handed out 1,000 “Stop the Stop Light” post cards at the intersection that were addressed to the Wheaton City Council. Motorists signed, put a stamp on, and sent 400 of those post cards to the City Council. Ever since then, those who wanted that traffic signal have done everything that they can to destroy me. I should write a book about that.)

PEORIA JOURNAL STAR & MORTON TIMES NEWS
— OUTSTANDING: Morton bans recreational marijuana businesses within village limits – Steve Stein (DIERSEN: I commend Morton Mayor Jeff Kaufman. Municipalities and counties that do not ban the sale of recreational pot can no longer claim to be family friendly. At Wheaton City Council’s meeting yesterday evening, Tim Whelan and I urged Wheaton Mayor Phil Suess and the Wheaton City Council to make Wheaton the first city in Illinois to ban the sale of recreational pot. Meeting attendees included Rick Carney, Gary Muehlfelt, Yadav Nathwani, Janet Shaw, John Zaruba, and Mandy Zaruba. Christopher Zaruba was sworn in to fill the Wheaton North District City Council vacancy.)
https://www.pjstar.com/news/20190701/morton-bans-recreational-marijuana-businesses-within-village-limits
https://www.mortontimesnews.com/news/20190701/morton-bans-recreational-marijuana-businesses-within-village-limits
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Recreational marijuana businesses won’t be allowed in Morton. After a brief discussion, Village Board members voted unanimously Monday to ban recreational marijuana growers, cultivation centers, and dispensing, processing and transporting facilities that could have set up shop in Morton after the passage last week of a new law legalizing recreational marijuana within Illinois. “This is the tip of the spear,” village attorney Pat McGrath told board members. “I’ll be bringing more ordinances to you before Jan. 1, 2020, that deal with other issues caused by the state law, like public possession of marijuana.” Just recently, the General Assembly approved and Gov. JB Pritzker signed into law a bill that legalized the use of recreational marijuana. The measure allows ordinances that can not only ban such businesses but also to create to “reasonable” zoning restrictions for cultivation centers, craft growers, processing organizations and dispensaries. On-site consumption may also be regulated by local governments, according to summaries provided by the governor’s office. Trustee Rod Blunier asked McGrath if businesses that sell products with CBD oil are included in Morton’s ban. They are not, the village attorney said, as long as they’re selling products that contain less than the federal legal limit of THC, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana. Mayor Jeff Kaufman said the recreational pot ban in Morton was his idea. “I asked Pat (McGrath) to write the ordinance that was presented (Monday) to the trustees,” he said. “These businesses are not something Morton residents want. Just like video gambling.” Trustees voted 5-0 in 2009 and 4-3 in 2013 — with then-Mayor Ron Rainson casting the deciding vote — to ban state-approved video gambling in Morton. The 2013 vote followed two months of heated debate at Village Board meetings and on social media. An audience of about 150, mostly video gambling supporters, gasped when Rainson announced his vote. There were about a half-dozen audience members Monday, and no public comments on the recreational marijuana business ban. . .Illinois has 55 medical marijuana dispensaries, none in Morton. These dispensaries are expected to get the first shot at licenses for recreational marijuana dispensaries.)

CENTRAL ILLINOIS PROUD
— OUTSTANDING: Morton Village Board votes to ban cannabis businesses 
https://www.centralillinoisproud.com/news/local-news/morton-village-board-votes-to-ban-cannabis-businesses/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Morton Village Board voted unanimously 6-0 Monday to ban cannabis businesses, according to Village Clerk Sam Ritthaler. The ordinance includes cultivation centers, craft growers, processing organizations, dispensing organizations, or transporting organizations. Governor J.B. Pritzker last month signed a bill allowing recreational marijuana sales in Illinois, though the bill does allow municipalities to ban sale and manufacture. Organizations and municipalities also have some control over use. Under the new Morton ordinance, if a business is found to be selling marijuana, it will face a fine of up to $750 for each offense. Each day a violation is found is considered a separate offense.)

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Weed cafes in Illinois? People could be allowed to smoke marijuana at bars, restaurants, other businesses under new law. Legalization includes an exemption to the Smoke-Free Illinois Act ban on indoor smoking, letting cities decide whether to allow on-site use at bars, restaurants, theaters, even new cannabis smoke lounges. – Tom Schuba (DIERSEN: Municipalities and counties that do not ban the sale of pot shout that they are NOT FAMILY FRIENDLY. Your mayor and your city council members and your county board chairman and your county board members should ASAP call for a vote on the sale of pot and ASAP announce that they will vote against the sale of pot. I urge Wheaton Mayor Phil Suess and Wheaton City Council members Michael Barbier, Erica Bray-Parker, Suzanne Fitch, John K. Rutledge, and Todd Scalzo and the new North District Council member (soon to be Christopher J. Zaruba) to a) call for a vote on the sale of pot in Wheaton ASAP and b) vote NO on the sale of pot in Wheaton.
