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….”)

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.)
— DuPage voters favored familiar faces for mayor – Robert Sanchez
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190403/dupage-voters-favored-familiar-faces-for-mayor
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Meanwhile in Wheaton, Phil Suess defeated another city councilman to become the 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.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Fitch has been endorsed by numerous local Republican elected officials during her career in public service, including state Rep. Amy Grant, former Lt. Gov. Evelyn Sanguinetti and others. “The Milton Township Republicans do not endorse candidates in the consolidated election, but if they did, I am certain that I would receive the endorsement of the Republicans,” Fitch said. “I have a history of working well with all members of the council regardless of whether we disagree on some issues.”)

Sharice Davids in suburban Kansas City, and Sanguinetti, who could challenge Rep. Sean Casten in suburban Chicago. Hillary Clinton carried both seats in 2016.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Lonks, a self-employed accountant, has fallen short on three previous bids for a board seat. He’s criticized the district on transparency issues and end-of-career bonuses for retiring employees, but Booten says the payments help retain staff. Crabtree says the district is pledging about $7 million to $7.5 million annually over the next four to five years to pay for capital projects. “We’re going to start drawing down our fund balance a little bit,” she said. “We’re going to be tightening up a little bit within our budget, not impacting students, and we’re hitting off those top-priority needs, so that’s our main focus.”)

https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190401/tuesdays-election-key-races-in-dupage-county
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Wheaton mayor Both longtime members of the city council, Phil Suess and John Prendiville are vying to succeed Michael Gresk as Wheaton’s first new mayor in 12 years. Now in his fourth council term, Suess, a partner in an investment consulting firm, has 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.” Prendiville voted in favor of increasing the 2018 property tax levy by $151,175 to capture new growth. The city, he said, has maintained fairly flat tax increases for the average homeowner. Prendiville, an attorney in municipal and corporate finance, cautions the city has roughly $59.5 million in projects with identified funding, but faces about $13.3 million in infrastructure projects that have no funding source over the next five years. Prendiville’s third term on the council expires in May.)

https://wtax.com/news/101101-hurt-feelings-in-diversity-debate/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Offense taken,” said a black lawmaker during a hot debate over a bill at the Capitol Friday. The bill would require Illinois-based publicly-held corporations to have blacks and women on their boards of directors. Republicans say the requirement is another sign to businesses that they should not locate in Illinois. “If you’re saying that’s stifling business in Illinois, how am I supposed to take that?” shouted State Rep. Will Davis (D-Homewood), who is black. State Rep. Steve Reick (R-Woodstock), who is white, had a response for Davis: “You’re not gonna get anything in this country in the way of being treated equally if you’re gonna take offense at every damn thing that comes up.” Some of the white Republicans’ remarks which offended black Democrats included questions about whether Christian men could be a protected class, too; and whether a corporate board could include somebody such as Rachel Dolezal, a white woman who famously faked her way to the presidency of the NAACP. The bill barely passed. State Rep. Chris Welch (D-Hillside), who is black, said all he wanted to do was make the world better for his five-year-old daughter. HB 3394 has passed the House, 61-27.)

Wise, principled, and humane Democrats should welcome having their attention arrested by the facts.)

https://www.leonardmemorialhome.com/notices/Barbara-Murphy
(FROM THE POSTING: Barbara A Murphy, a resident of Glen Ellyn since 1962, passed away Sunday March 3rd. Barbara was the longest serving DuPage County Republican Chairwoman. She was dedicated to good government and the Republican Party. She began her career as a volunteer for Richard Nixon’s campaign in California in 1960. She was the first woman to be elected as a Milton Township Trustee and the first woman to be elected as Chairman of the Milton Township Republican Central Committee’s organization. Barbara served under Secretaries of State George Ryan and later, Jesse White as a member of the Illinois Motor Vehicle Review Board. By the appointment of Governor Jim Edgar, she served for 5 years on the Illinois Toll Highway Advisory Board. Barbara was a State Central Committeewoman for the 6th Congressional District in the 1980’s. Concurrently she was on the Board of DuPage Civic Center Authority and the DuPage County Domestic Violence Task Force. She always credited Chairman James ‘Pate’ Philip for including her as the only woman in the proverbial “all male smoke filled” meetings. Just as the Republican National Conventions were the highlight of her political career, her satisfaction in mentoring a person who wanted to become involved in the political system was her greatest Fulfillment. Barbara was a strong believer in inclusiveness and loyalty. Barbara was a member of the Inland Western Retail Sales Trust Board. She was a founding member of “The Friends of Family Shelter.” And a former co-owner of the “Daffy Down Dilly” gift shop. Growing up in Connecticut, Barbara attended Greenwich Academy and Skidmore College.

Of course, needless-to-say, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always used that against me.

Of course, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes blame me and blame me only for my personal failures. They hint/imply/argue/shout that if they were me, they would still be the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman, a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member, the Milton Township Republican Central Committee webmaster, an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member, an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member, a GAO employee, etc.)
http://www.dailyjournal.net/2019/03/05/letter_dont_blame_conservatives_business_for_your_personal_failures/
(FROM THE LETTER: When our youth increasingly quit school, take drugs, commit a felony or produce a child, often prior to their first job interview, they trigger a death spiral from which most never recover. That, Mr. Smith, is why so many Americans are living a nightmare of declining quality of life. That is why the speed of an increasingly technical world frequently leaves them behind. I am always saddened when I see our youth willingly saddle themselves with these crippling obstructions to personal success. However that pales in comparison to the anger I feel for those who enable personal failure by assigning blame everywhere other than where it belongs. Life is the sum total of the individual choices we make — good and bad. Unfortunately, that means the real world is often a cruel and unfair place that is hardly ever welcoming of the unprepared. It does not mean it is the fault of conservatives or big business.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— How can www.gopillinois.com get a better NewsGuard rating? Please consider NewsGuard’s rating criteria at https://www.newsguardtech.com/ratings/rating-process-criteria/ or below and email me at diersen@aol.com or phone me at 630-653-0462 with your suggestions. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
(FROM THE POSTING: RATING CRITERIA Here are the nine criteria that NewsGuard uses to assess websites. Each criterion is worth a certain number of points out of 100, as indicated below. A site with a score of 60 points or higher receives a green rating. A site with a score lower than 60 points receives a red rating. In every case, the NewsGuard Nutrition Labels that are provided for each site (by clicking on the rating) spell out the site’s adherence to each of the nine criteria that yielded that source’s particular rating.

The criteria below are listed in order of their importance in determining a red rating. For example, failure to adhere to the first criteria—publishing false content—is more influential in determining a red rating than failure to reveal information about content creators.

Credibility

— Doesn’t repeatedly publish false content: In the last three years the site has not produced multiple stories that have been found—either by journalists at NewsGuard or elsewhere—to be clearly false, and which have not been quickly and prominently corrected. (22 Points. A label with a score lower than 60 points gets a red rating.)

— Gathers and presents information responsibly: Content on the site is created by reporters, writers, videographers, researchers, or other information providers who generally seek to be accurate and fair in gathering, reporting, and interpreting information, even if they approach their work from a strong point of view. They do this by referencing multiple sources, preferably those that present direct, first-hand information on a subject or event. (18 Points)

— Regularly corrects or clarifies errors: The site makes clear how to contact those in charge and has effective practices for publishing clarifications and corrections. (12.5 Points)

— Handles the difference between news and opinion responsibly: Content providers who convey the impression that they report news or a mix of news and opinion distinguish opinion from news reporting, and when reporting news, they do not regularly or egregiously misstate, distort, or cherry pick facts, or egregiously cherry pick stories, to advance opinions. Content providers whose clearly expressed purpose is to advance a particular point of view do not regularly and egregiously misstate or distort facts to make their case. (12.5 Points)

— Avoids deceptive headlines: The site generally does not publish headlines that include false information, significantly sensationalize, or otherwise do not reflect what is actually in the story. (10 Points)

Transparency

— Website discloses ownership and financing: The site discloses its ownership and/or financing, as well as any notable ideological or political positions held by those with a significant financial interest in the site, in a user-friendly manner. (7.5 Points)

— Clearly labels advertising: The site makes clear which content is paid for and which is not. (7.5 Points)

— Reveals who’s in charge: Information about those in charge of the content is made accessible on the site. (5 Points)

— The site provides the names of content creators, along with either contact information or biographical information: Information about those producing the content is made accessible on the site. (5 Points))

COMMENTARY
— The State of the Union is Pro-Jewish – ABE GREENWALD (DIERSEN: Government is nasty. Politics is nasty. Democrats are nasty. While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, many, and at times most, and at times virtually all of my Democrat superiors and supervisors were Jewish. My Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government hinted/implied/argued/shouted at them a) that members of the following groups are anti-Jewish: Republican, Protestant, conservative, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time and b) that I was Republican, Protestant (baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran), conservative, 100% German American, and my ancestors have been in America since 1844.)

My critics/opponents in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois use my demographics to define me as being a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things who should be gotten rid of.

— How Big Must Your Nest Egg Be? – Glenn Ruffenach
https://www.wsj.com/articles/how-big-must-your-nest-egg-be-11549854421
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Example: You determine that you need $70,000 a year to meet your expenses and pay taxes. And let’s say you receive $30,000 a year from Social Security and a small pension. If we subtract the latter total from the former, we end up with $40,000 in residual living expenses—those that aren’t covered by guaranteed sources of income. Knowing that figure can help you calculate how large your nest egg should be. Mr. Bernstein recommends that most people should plan to save for about 25 years of RLE. (Which is a reasonable number if you retire at or near age 65, since most financial planners would urge you to assume a life expectancy of 90, if not longer.) To continue our example above, we multiply $40,000 (again, your annual shortfall) by 25 years. That gives us a target of $1 million for your nest egg. That’s how much you would need to save before retiring. The math, of course, isn’t a guarantee of retirement success, Mr. Bernstein notes, but “at least gives you a decent shot at it.”)
