DAILY HERALD
— OUTSTANDING: Buffalo Grove formally opposes legalization of recreational marijuana – Steve Zalusky (DIERSEN: Needless-to-say, each and every municipality, township/ward, and county in Illinois should pass such a resolution ASAP.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190521/buffalo-grove-formally-opposes-legalization-of-recreational-marijuana
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Buffalo Grove has waded into the statewide debate over legalizing recreational marijuana, as a divided village board narrowly passed a resolution against it Monday. Village President Beverly Sussman broke a 3-3 deadlock to pass the resolution, which is modeled after a similar measure approved by Vernon Hills trustees. It urges lawmakers to slow down the process to provide more time to consider the impact on society and examine data from other states that have passed similar legislation.)

DAILY HERALD
— How much money do you need to be wealthy in America? – Suzanne Woolley (DIERSEN: I should write a book about those who since 1966, when I was 17 years old, have demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being wealthy. They stressed that in today’s dollars, my part-time Post Office salary was $17.23/hour in 1969, that my IRS salary was $93,592/year in 1980, and that my GAO salary was $127,654/year in 1997. They stressed that at the end of 1977, in today’s dollars, my net worth was $203,600. They stressed the new cars that I bought in 1966, 1967, 1968, 1971, etc. and the collector cars that I bought in 1989 and 1994. They stressed the real estate that I bought in 1972, 1974, and 1976; the home that my wife and I bought in 1978; and the home that we had built in 1984. They stressed the money that I spent to earn a bachelor’s degree in 1970; master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997; and professional certifications in 1979 and 1981. They stressed the money that my wife and I saved for our retirement.) 
https://www.dailyherald.com/business/20190518/how-much-money-do-you-need-to-be-wealthy-in-america
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Merely having a net worth of $1 million, it seems, doesn’t mean you’re wealthy. In Charles Schwab’s annual Modern Wealth Survey, the amount people said it took to be considered rich averaged out to $2.3 million. That, the company said, is “more than 20 times the actual median net worth of U.S. households.” It’s also a very slight drop from the $2.4 million average in the two previous iterations of the survey. The older one gets, the higher the bar goes, predictably. Among baby boomers (roughly age 55 to 73), the average net worth you need to be considered wealthy is $2.6 million, 35% higher than what millennials envision as the admission price to the plutocracy. For someone to be deemed merely financially comfortable, the required net worth shrinks significantly. The average amount was $1.1 million, and only Generation Z (about age 9 to age 22, though Schwab’s sample was 18 to 22) cited a number below $1 million ($909,600, to be exact.) The Schwab survey, which took a national sample of 1,000 Americans between the ages of 21 and 75, also revealed that the majority of Americans really crave real estate. More than 50% of respondents across generations said that if they got a $1 million windfall, they’d spend it, and the most popular purchase would be a place to live — particularly among millennials (roughly age 22 to 37).)

FORBES
— U.S. Courts Crack Down On Employers Using ‘Slippery’ Criteria To Hide Discrimination – Patricia Barnes (DIERSEN: Democrats run the federal government. They use very slippery criteria to not hire and to get rid of those who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who did not make 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 (currently $165,500) by age 40.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A growing number of federal appeals courts are recognizing that nefarious employers are using subjective criteria to justify discriminatory hiring decisions. This has been an epic problem for decades in age discrimination litigation, where it is not unusual for workers with objectively superior qualifications to be passed over in favor of candidates who are deemed a better “cultural fit.” This month, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit joined four other federal circuits to rule that an employer may not defend a discrimination charge with “vague” and “slippery” reasons because of the “intolerable risk that a nefarious employer will use [them] as a cover for discrimination.” The court said employers must articulate “specific reasons” for employment decisions, such as “the candidate’s ‘seniority, length of service in the same position, personal characteristics, general education, technical training, experience in comparable work or any combination’ of such criteria.”)

But in his retirement years, his focus has really become ‘giving back’! Moy has long funded scholarships through the DuPage Foundation.. and recently, he gave $2 million to a place that is an important refuge for more than 300 residents. At DuPage Care Center in Wheaton, 70% of the residents are Medicaid recipients. It also happens to be the special place where Judge Moy’s wife resides, Patricia Moy has battled Alzheimer’s disease for 8 years. The Care Center plans to make a host of renovations with the new funds. To honor their benefactor, the new name of the facility is the Kenneth Moy DuPage Care Center.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: If Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker legalizes recreational marijuana, Clark County will ban dispensaries in their backyard. It was a unanimous decision made Friday morning by the Clark County Council. They plan to draft a resolution against the law. Some say by keeping the community together and on the same page, they’ve been able to keep illegal things out. That includes drugs and crime. News 10 spoke with members of the community who attended the meeting. They told us that Clark County has a low crime rate. A few spoke out. One man told us that no one in the community is wanting this legalization. “There’s no public outcry to legalize this stuff,” said Warren LeFever, a concerned citizen. This law has not been passed yet. County Council members say they are being proactive rather than reactive.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The outlet reports that a resolution calling on Congress to declare Chicago America’s 51st state now has eight Republican co-sponsors in the state’s House, as well as growing support from conservative activists. Supporters of the move have noted that Chicago is where much of the state’s political power and money rests, and its politics are different than other more conservative parts of the state. The sponsor of the bill, state Rep. Brad Halbrook, said he supports the split due to differences on issues such as the Second Amendment and abortion. “Our traditional family values seem to be under attack at every angle,” Halbrook said, according to The State Journal-Register. “We are trying to drive the discussion to get people at the table to say these are not our values down here.”)

DAILY HERALD
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Tollway Executive Director José Alvarez took an $18,996 (8%) pay cut for his new position. In 1980, when I was 31 years old, I took a $19,568 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul, I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $82,579-$93,592.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190517/new-tollway-chief-wants-to-hear-from-stakeholders-on-route-53
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Executive Director José Alvarez, who attended his first board meeting Thursday, will be paid $223,000 annually, 3.7% more than his predecessor Elizabeth Gorman, who received $215,000. “I took a pay cut. That’s how excited I am about the opportunity” to work at the tollway, said Alvarez, former chief operating officer for the Chicago Housing Authority. Alvarez joins a rookie tollway board picked by Gov. J.B. Pritzker, who supported the ouster of the previous slate of directors after a series of Daily Herald reports about tollway spending and patronage hiring at the agency. Alvarez “came in on May 1 and hit the ground running,” Chairman Will Evans said at Thursday’s meeting. “I am committed to investing in our team and building on its strengths,” Alvarez said. He likened the tollway’s situation to the housing authority, which had “five CEOs in five years.” Former tollway Executive Director Greg Bedalov, who was paid $186,000, left in February 2018 and Gorman stayed for 13 months.)

AMERICAN THINKER
— Pelosi’s disgraceful weaseling on merit-based immigration – Thomas Lifson (DIERSEN: Democrats want immigrants because immigrants vote for Democrats. RINOs want immigrants because RINOs want cheap labor.) 
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2019/05/pelosis_disgraceful_weaseling_on_meritbased_immigration.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Common sense and public opinion both strongly favor prioritizing immigrants who bring education and skills to the country, so that they can support themselves and provide more tax payments than they consume in the form of welfare and other need-based services. Few questions of public policy receive support in the eighty percent range, yet merit-based immigration actually does receive nearly 80% in reliable polling. . .The entire point of immigration policy is to benefit the citizens of the United States. Forcing citizens to pay for the welfare and government services consumed by poor families entering with children (who will need expensive bilingual schooling), and who will generate few taxes but consume large tax revenues if they bring low education and skill credentials, enacts a penalty on American citizens.)

Neither of my outstanding parents attended college. My father fought type 1 diabetes from age 14, was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma, worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant, almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills, did not buy a new car until he 45 and it was a bottom of the line 2-door Chevy with almost no options, and died suddenly of heart failure in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21. My mother never attended high school. I bought my first car, a 1958 Chevy BelAir, as soon as turned 16 in 1964.)

— Liberals must call out all kinds of hate – JONATHAN ZIMMERMAN
https://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-oped-liberals-must-call-out-all-kinds-of-hate-20190514-i2byqjlwrvbh3hpka7ghvmta3m-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: So let’s imagine that a group of white children had been captured on video calling for the beheading of Jewish kids. My fellow liberals would be up in arms, demanding a broader investigation of the incident and penalties for the people involved. But when it’s Muslim children, doing the same thing? Meh. Witness our blasé reaction to last month’s news in my hometown of Philadelphia, where students were seen reciting a revolutionary anthem often used by Islamist groups. Reading from a prepared text, one girl in the group says, “We will chop off their heads, and we will liberate the sorrowful and exalted Al-Aqsa Mosque.” That’s a reference to a holy site in Jerusalem, revered by Muslims and Jews alike. The video was cited repeatedly on Fox News and other conservative media outlets but made barely a blip on CNN, MSNBC and other left-leaning venues.)
