http://www.dailyherald.com/news/20180111/cary-grove-senior-sues-school-board-alleging-free-speech-stifled
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The complaint says district administrators tried to “muzzle” Ahmann upon Kownick’s request, issuing “a threatening ultimatum not to speak” during the mayor’s Sept. 26 visit to Cary-Grove and warning him of “negative consequences.” Cary-Grove dean James Kelly “confronted, intimidated and coerced” Ahmann before Kownick’s speech, pulling him aside and confronting him about his “previous political activity” outside school, the complaint says. That includes Ahmann’s moderating an online forum on politics and community issues, often involving the mayor.)

They also provide college credit upon receiving a score of 3 on a final exam.)

SUBURBAN CHICAGOLAND
— Cook County GOP Chairman calls out illegitimate actions by Chicago GOP Club leaders Cook County GOP Chairman calls out illegitimate actions by Chicago GOP Club leaders Cook County Republican Chairman Sean M. Morrison criticized actions by Chicago Republican Party leader Chris Cleveland, accusing him of usurping powers and challenging his right to represent region’s Republicans
https://suburbanchicagoland.com/2018/01/11/cook-county-gop-chairman-calls-illegitimate-actions-chicago-gop-club-leaders/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It has come to the attention of Cook County Republican Central Committee Chairman Sean M. Morrison that the Chicago Republican Party led by Mr. Chris Cleveland recently held a meeting of its club. Mr. Cleveland’s expressed intent for this meeting was to usurp the statutory authority of the Cook County Republican Party and its Chairman by illegitimately claiming the authority to appoint individuals to the position of Ward Committeeman. Chairman Morrison believes that it’s imperative to publicly clarify that the Chicago Republican Party is a private club and holds no statutory authority within the Cook County Republican Central Committee. Thus, Mr. Cleveland has no authority to make any appointments to the position of Ward Committeeman and to indicate otherwise is pure deception. “I recognize that Mr. Cleveland plays a very prominent role as Campaign Chair for the Jeanne Ives campaign for governor and he has a right to support the candidate of his choice. But, that does not mean that he can manipulate the use and influence of his role as Chairman of the Chicago Republican Club to mislead individuals into the belief that he can appoint them to the position of Ward Committeeman. His sole intent was to manufacture some sort of perceived endorsement for his candidate Jeanne Ives,” said Chairman Morrison. Mr. Cleveland’s actions are nothing more than a blatant exploitation of his club and its By-Laws and are eerily reminiscent of the actions taken by former DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz when she helped rig the DNC support and primary election in favor of Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders. Mr. Cleveland’s unilateral actions are an attempt to de-legitimize the vote and influence of every single Republican Committeeman in Cook County. Deputy Chairman Aaron Del Mar added, “Mr. Cleveland’s deceitful actions have raised grave concern from numerous legitimate Republican Committeemen throughout Cook County. These actions appear to indicate a level of desperation on behalf of the Jeanne Ives campaign for governor. I’m hopeful Jeanne Ives had no previous knowledge of this rigged endorsement stunt and I call on her to publicly disavow Chris Cleveland and the devious actions he took on behalf of her campaign. I would also hope that this is not an indication on how she would govern, if elected.” Chairman Morrison has asked Deputy Chairman Aaron Del Mar to make himself available for media inquiries to address this issue on behalf of the Cook County Republican Central Committee. Aaron can be contacted at: 773-718-1444 (P).)

ILLINOIS CENTER RIGHT COALITION
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: ICRC sends a bulk email to its former members and to the Illinois State Board of Elections. I should write book about those who blame me for all the problems that ICRC, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Milton Township Republican Central Committee, American Association of Political Consultants, etc. have had, are having, and will have. These same disgusting scapegoaters blame me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails for all the losses that Republicans have suffered in Illinois since 2000.)
http://illinoiscenterrightcoalition.com/
(THE LETTER: Dear Former ICRC Member, During the November 2017, meeting of the Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) an election was held to select new officers. I, James. C. Mitchell, Jr., was among the slate of new officers elected to revitalize the ICRC. I was elected to and accepted the position of ICRC Chairman with the understanding that I would guide the ICRC through a necessary reorganization process. During the reorganization process it was discovered that the ICRC was disbanded by the state of Illinois on January 11, 2013, for not filing required annual reports with the state of Illinois (see attached file). Because of this omission, the ICRC has not been able to legally conduct business since that time. All attempts to bring the organization current with Federal and state entities have run into roadblocks due to requirements that we provide financials for 2012 forward. Unfortunately, the ICRC cannot produce financials for the past year, let alone the required time period. Since the ICRC is not legally able to receive funds as an organization, nor has been since January 11, 2013, the rightful course of action is to return all funds received during this period. Unfortunately, this task is easier said than done as the ICRC was negligent in maintaining Federal and state mandated records. Additionally, the ICRC has no treasurer’s reports or financial statements of any kind indicating who funds were received from at any point during the organization’s history. Therefore, we are requesting that anyone who has provided a check to the ICRC at any point since January 11, 2012, please respond to this email with a PDF copy (front and back) of said check, or mail a copy to: ICRC, PO Box 586, Lake Villa, IL, 60046-0586. This will allow us to return your funds as well as to assist us in auditing the organization’s financial history. If by chance anyone has any historical financial reports for the ICRC, we would of course be delighted to receive copies of those as well. At this point the future of the ICRC is uncertain. The short-term plan is to refund individuals any payments received by the ICRC while it was operating illegally, and to attempt to reconstruct the organizations financial history so that the organization can be legally registered with the necessary Federal and state agencies. Thank you for your understanding and your help in rectifying this situation. Please note that all future ICRC meetings, to include the meeting scheduled on January 13, in Elgin, are cancelled until this situation has been resolved.)

https://www.wsj.com/articles/facebook-considers-prioritizing-trustworthy-news-sources-in-feed-1515714244
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Facebook FB -0.04% Inc. is broadly overhauling the way it presents news and information on its platform, as it struggles to address criticism from users and others about the quality of the content shared there and its effect on society. Under planned changes announced Thursday, Facebook will favor posts, photos and videos in the news feed that are shared and discussed among users and their friends over those posted by businesses and news organizations—a likely blow to companies that rely on Facebook to reach customers. The company also is weighing another major change that could eventually elevate media outlets deemed more trustworthy compared with publishers considered less credible, people familiar with the matter said. Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg on Thursday called the initial move “a major change in how we build Facebook” that would decrease how much time users spend on the platform and hurt publisher traffic, but ultimately make users happier and boost Facebook’s business. The other potential change would involve ranking news outlets based on some measures of credibility, such as public polling about news outlets, and whether readers are willing to pay for news from particular publishers, the people familiar with the matter said. Such variables would inform the Facebook algorithms that determine which publishers’ posts are pushed higher in the feed, one of the people said. Such a move would thrust Facebook into an even more active role in deciding what content is acceptable on its site—a role that makes some publishers uneasy. The company hasn’t decided whether to proceed with that shift, and it may choose not to do so. This potential change, as well as the steps outlined Thursday, illustrate Mr. Zuckerberg’s willingness to make big changes and consider ideas he previously resisted to address the growing risks looming over the company that he co-founded 14 years ago and that is now used by more than two billion people.)

— The IRS expects to answer only 4 of every 10 taxpayer questions. And no tough ones. – Jessie Bur (DIERSEN: During the 1974, as a GS-11 (currently $67,648/year) Revenue Officer, I supervised all the IRS employees in Chicago who answered taxpayer questions with IRS’s new Centiphone system. Because of my performance, IRS promoted me to GS-12 (currently $81,071). But then, my Democrat IRS superiors got rid of the IRS manager who had a) promoted me to GS-9 (currently $55,905) in 1972, b) promoted me to GS-11 in 1973, c) got me the CentiPhone Manager assignment, and d) promoted me to GS-12 in 1974.)
https://www.federaltimes.com/management/2018/01/11/irs-lacks-resources-to-deal-with-new-tax-law/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Due to longstanding funding cuts, a lack of trained personnel and a reluctance to innovate, the Internal Revenue Service is unprepared to deal with taxpayer needs for the first tax season under the GOP’s new tax law, according to the Taxpayer Advocate Service’s Annual Report to Congress. According to the report, the IRS estimates that it will need $495 million in the 2018 and 2019 fiscal years to implement the new tax law, which would include “programming and systems updates, answering taxpayer phone calls, drafting and publishing new forms and publications, revising regulations and issuing other guidance, training employees on the new law and guidance, and developing the system’s capacity to verify compliance with new eligibility and documentation requirements.” “I see daily the consequences of reduced funding of the IRS and the choices made by the agency in the face of these funding constraints,” national taxpayer advocate Nina E.
