WGN TV
— Opponents of legalized pot say their voices aren’t being heard – GAYNOR HALL  (DIERSEN: Those who oppose legalization of pot who attended the hearing included Peter Bensinger, Kathy Gilroy, Judy Kreamer, Ralph Rivera, Thomas Weitzel, and myself. If you promote pot, feel free to unsubscribe to this email. If you are religious, conservative, and/or Republican, please speak out against legalizing pot. Further, please join me in encouraging the 18 members of the DuPage County Board to pass a resolution ASAP in opposition to legalizing pot for recreational use in Illinois, SB 316 and HB 2353, and especially the 12 members of its Judicial & Public Safety Committee: Grant Eckhoff, Chair, Robert L. Larsen, Vice Chair, John Curran, Peter DiCianni, Amy L. Grant, Gary Grasso, James D. Healy, Tonia Khouri, Sean T. Noonan, Donald E. Puchalski, Sam Tornatore, and James F. Zay.)
http://wgntv.com/2017/04/20/opponents-of-legalized-pot-say-their-voices-arent-being-heard/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But some opponents are upset they didn’t get to testify yesterday.  The Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police is against legalization. Riverside Chief Tom Weitzel says it would normalize drug use. “I had signed up on behalf of Illinois chiefs to speak and I was under the impression that I could speak about our position,” he said.  “I think it’s important to have the chiefs perspective officers are the ones doing the enforcement. … The proponents are well organized. They have the ear because it’s all about dollars.” Sponsors of the bills in the state house and senate say they have no intention of bringing this to the floor this legislative session.  They say they will hold several more hearings to get public input in Springfield and Chicago.)

FOX NEWS CHICAGO
— Illinois lawmakers gather to discuss legalizing pot – Mike Flannery  (DIERSEN: Those who oppose legalization who attended the hearing included Peter Bensinger, Kathy Gilroy, Judy Kreamer, Ralph Rivera, Thomas Weitzel, and myself. The only legitimate reason to read GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails is to get information a) to help defend and advance the Republican Party platform, the Illinois Republican Party platform, and the Milton Township Republican Central Committee resolution against video gambling and b) to help elect and reelect Republican candidates. If you promote pot, you should not claim to be religious, conservative, or Republican; you should immediately resign from any government or political office that you hold as a Republican and declare yourself to be a Democrat, a Libertarian, or Green. If you promote pot, feel free to unsubscribe to this email. If you are religious, conservative, and/or Republican, please speak out against legalizing pot. Further, please join me in encouraging the 18 members of the DuPage County Board to pass a resolution ASAP in opposition to legalizing pot for recreational use in Illinois, SB 316 and HB 2353, and especially the 12 members of its Judicial & Public Safety Committee: Grant Eckhoff, Chair, Robert L. Larsen, Vice Chair, John Curran, Peter DiCianni, Amy L. Grant, Gary Grasso, James D. Healy, Tonia Khouri, Sean T. Noonan, Donald E. Puchalski, Sam Tornatore, and James F. Zay.)
http://www.fox32chicago.com/news/local/249609492-story
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Legalization has a downside. Colorado’s now Number One in per capita pot consumption, with side effects like a 48 percent increase in fatal traffic accidents. A former Drug Enforcement Administrator predicted legalization here would cause 75 additional marijuana-related highway deaths each year. “Terrible idea! It’s a disaster waiting to happen in Illinois. It’s gonna increase damage to youth. It’s gonna increase highway accidents and fatalities,” said Peter Bensinger, former director of the DEA.)

USA TODAY
— What happens if you smoke marijuana every day? – Sean Rossman
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2017/04/20/what-happens-when-you-smoke-marijuana-every-day/100668404/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Here’s what experts say happens when you smoke weed every day: Dr. Stuart Gitlow, a professor at the University of Florida and a past president of the American Society of Addiction Medicine, said marijuana is much stronger than it was years ago, giving a more psychedelic feel rather than a mild sense of intoxication. A small percentage, he said, could have hallucinations and paranoia. However, the vast majority, he said, experience that mild high, which fades after several hours. After days of use, the pot becomes stored in the body’s fatty tissue and THC is gradually released into the bloodstream, meaning a person can experience the effect of the drug around the clock. Daily use, he said, promotes a chronic loss of attention, focus and concentration. Daily users perform at a lower level at jobs and at school. Focus and motivation also decrease, he said. Caron Treatment Center Medical Director Dr. Joseph Garbely said about 15% of cannabis users develop an addiction. Daily users, he said, suffer memory, coordination, and problem-solving issues. For some, it could change the way a brain matures. Smokers who start young, he said, are more susceptible to being a daily user or becoming addicted. . .Other factors need to be considered such as their dosage and the reason a person is using the drug. However, he said marijuana can have impact on how people perform at their job or at school. Withdrawal can occur after a period of long-term repeated use.)

CHICAGO CITY WIRE
— Am I blue? No, but I have a right to speak, radio host Dan Proft argues – Karen Kidd
http://chicagocitywire.com/stories/511101894-am-i-blue-no-but-i-have-a-right-to-speak-radio-host-argues
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The owner of a chain of Illinois news outlets — including this one — answered critics and defended the right of conservatives to have a voice in the largely blue state during a recent broadcast of a Chicago-based radio talk show that he co-hosts. “I’m the first newspaper publisher in, apparently, modern times who has a point of view,” Dan Proft, co-host of Illinois Rising, said. “And that is a problem, such a problem, that I’m a brazen propagandist engaged in mock journalism, according to Eric Zorn. I’m also something of a political operative, though Mr. Miner over at the Reader imagines I’d prefer a loftier description.” There’s a far more serious motive behind the name calling, Proft’s Illinois Rising co-host, Pat Hughes, said during the same broadcast. “Look at the irony,” Hughes said. “Eric Zorn is commenting on your newspaper from a newspaper. He’s making political commentary. And the fact that there’s other opinion leaders out there that can get out to readers in a way that’s more efficient, in a way that they’re interested in consuming the news, is a threat not just to their model economically but to the monopoly that they feel they have on thought. And from Zorn’s perspective — and I suspect Miner’s perspective — from left-leaning, liberal orthodoxy.” Proft, co-founder with Hughes of the Illinois Opportunity Project, is Liberty Principles PAC chairperson and treasurer, as well as a senior fellow at the Chicago-based conservative think tank Illinois Policy Institute. Illinois Rising is a presentation of the Illinois Policy Institute. Proft is a principal of Local Government Information Services, which owns this publication. Proft and Hughes were responding to a March 23 op-ed article in the Chicago Tribune in which Zorn referred to Proft’s Illinois news outlets as “mock journalism.” Zorn’s column was published a week before a similarly themed piece in the Chicago Reader by Michael Miner titled, “If your community news is slanted, Dan Proft may be to blame.” Zorn’s column wasn’t the first time the Tribune writer has targeted Proft. In July 2009, a few weeks after Proft announced his ultimately failed bid for the Republican nomination in the governor’s race, Zorn used his column to call Proft a “seethingly eloquent conservative attack dog.” The Tribune has allowed Proft space in its columns to voice his views as well. On July 11, 2016, it published Proft’s op-ed piece, “How to (really) achieve the ‘important conversation,’ ” about the sniper attack in Dallas a few days earlier that killed five police officers. Proft criticized the mainstream news media’s coverage of the incident, as well as other incidents in which police officers have been shot by black men, and urged less-biased, more-objective coverage. “There is plenty of intellectual room between ‘cops can do no wrong’ and ‘cops are all racists waging war against minorities,’ ” Proft wrote. “The reasoned room in between is occupied by most of the Americans who are not on television, radio or Twitter.” Proft cited the apparent hypocrisy of critics dismissing his news outlets as not being objective while their own work is published by companies with far less transparent political biases. “I’m transparent about my point of view,” Proft said. “That certainly informs the stories that we select to cover and the way that we cover them. And that’s the case for everybody in journalism. I hate to break it to those who think there’s this superhuman race of journalists who have no point of view. Every human being has a point of view, and it influences how they do their jobs. So, if we could just start from that agreed upon point, then maybe we could get somewhere. But they have an agenda.”)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/success/inc/tca-my-boss-seems-to-be-trying-to-push-me-out-20170403-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: I recently hosted a party at my house and invited some co-workers. My boss overheard us talking and I felt bad, so I invited her to come over, too. When she arrived, she was taken aback by my house. My wife and I inherited some money and have invested wisely. Thus, we are pretty financially successful. Since the event, she has made comments daily at work about my wealth and how I don’t need my job. It’s embarrassing and annoying. She also excluded me from a new project meeting. When I asked why, she said she was putting some other people on it to gain experience. I’m starting to think she is jealous and trying to push me out. I like this job and my co-workers. It’s true, I don’t need this job, but I like working. Why is she acting like this? It’s as though I broke an unwritten rule.)
— HARDCOPY ARTICLE TITLE: FBI mulls easing entry to draw top talent – Eric Tucker  (DIERSEN: To help it hire, retain, and promote Democrats, minorities, females, and young people, all during the almost 30 years that I worked for the federal government (1966-1969 and 1971-1997), the federal government lowered its hiring, retention, and promotion standards. GAO hired me in 1980 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job.  IRS hired me in 1971 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job.  The Post Office hired me in 1966 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job.)

— Project competence and confidence  Women inadvertently undermine their leadership by not doing both. – Minda Zetlin  (DIERSEN: In 1997, when I was 49 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors forced my GS-15 (currently $131,508-$161,900) female supervisor to take the lead in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer.” She reluctantly did what they forced her to do. They stressed to her a) that since 1988, I had been an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged GAO with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, b) that I had always complained about patronage, political affiliation discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, c) that I had not helped GAO get rid of its employees who were Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran, d) that I had not made GS-13 (currently $94,610) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $111,801) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $131,508) by age 35, or Senior Executive Service (currently $161,900) by age 40, e) that she was younger than me, f) that she was a female and that I was a male, g) that she Jewish and I was Missouri Synod Lutheran, h) that she was 100% Russian-American and that I was 100% German American, I) that my ancestor had been in America much longer than her ancestors, J) that she had a degree from an Ivy League university and that I did not, k) that she was a liberal Democrat and that I was a conservative Republican, l) that my wife and I could “afford” to lose in today’s dollars $72,135/year income ($122,991 salary minus $50,856 pension), and m) that my subordinates who were Democrat, minority, female, and/or younger than me talked and acted like they would leave GAO if GAO did not get rid of me.)

— Growing ranks in DuPage – Kerry Lester  (DIERSEN: Those who want to destroy the DuPage County Republican Central Committee discourage it from having Lincoln Day Dinners.)
http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20170410/news/170419973/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: DuPage County Democrats Chairman Bob Peickert says he expects more than 800 attendees at the party’s annual gala April 23 in Lombard, twice the usual number. The event will feature Democratic National Committee Deputy Chair Keith Ellison and Illinois gubernatorial candidates Chris Kennedy of Kenilworth, Ameya Pawar of Chicago and J.B. Pritzker of Chicago, along with more than two dozen other state and congressional officials. Peickert, of Elmhurst, sees it as one of several signs the formerly rock-ribbed Republican territory is changing. In January, the county party held an informal meeting for local voters and 550 people showed up — 400 of them new to the organization. In November, Hillary Clinton won the county by 14 points over President Donald Trump. Gala tickets are at dupagedemocratsgala.com.)
— Big money in Bolingbrook – Kerry Lester
http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20170410/news/170419973/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Major political donors swept in to help candidates in the Bolingbrook mayor’s race in the final weeks of the campaign, filings with the Illinois State Board of Elections show. Republican businessman Ron Gidwitz’ super PAC, the Economic Freedom Alliance, spent more than $36,512 to support 31-year Bolingbrook Mayor Roger Claar. He also spent more than $61,024 opposing challenger Jackie Traynere’s campaign. Traynere got some help from big name Democrats, including Democratic candidate Pritzker, who wrote her a $2,500 check. AFSME gave her campaign $5,000 and the American Federation of Teachers contributed $1,500. Claar had hosted a Trump fundraiser, angering some and sparking the high-profile battle.)

DOWNERS GROVE PATCH
— Rauner’s Anti-Hate Crime Bill Endorsed by Downers Grove Representative David Olsen  The anti-hate crime bill is set to be considered by the full Illinois House of Representatives this month. – Lisa Marie Farver  (DIERSEN: From what I see, ever-increasingly, anti-Trumps promote hatred against individuals, organizations, companies, governments, and countries that are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, draft avoiders (except Bill Clinton), German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America longer than their ancestors.)
https://patch.com/illinois/downersgrove/rauner-s-anti-hate-crime-bill-endorsed-downers-grove-representative
(FROM THE ARTICLE: State Representative David S. Olsen (R, Downers Grove) for Bruce Rauner’s anti-hate crime bill recently filed in Springfield. The anti-hate crime bill, HB 2390, aims to change sentencing for those who commit hate crimes in Illinois. Rauner announced his plans for the new hate crime legislation in early March in response to the anti-Semitic crimes that have increased both locally and nationally. In a March 8 press release, he said, “We cannot stay silent on hate. We cannot stay silent when families in our community are in danger. The promise of ‘Never Again’ requires us to take action.” Rep. Olsen recently echoed those words in a statement of his own, “Those who would attack others, verbally or physically, based on their race, color, creed, religion or other perceived classification, need to know their behavior will not be tolerated and that the consequences for such actions will be severe.”)

— TRUMP TOWER AMONG CHICAGO’S MOST DESIRABLE REFUGEE EMPLOYERS – Chuck Goudie and Barbara Markoff
http://abc7chicago.com/news/trump-tower-among-chicagos-most-desirable-refugee-employers/1840201/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Refugees displaced by war, terrorism or persecution are moving to Chicago. One of the most desirable places for them to work? Trump Tower. Officially known as the Trump International Hotel and Tower, the 98-story skyscraper on Chicago’s riverfront has become so popular with refugees because they are paid up to $18.00 per hour for entry-level jobs. That’s according to a Chicago-based organization that helps refugees who are “fleeing war, terror and persecution.” Illinois is currently ranked 10th nationally in the number of refugees resettled, with 3,125 permitted residency here in 2016. Besides the Trump Tower, refugee aid officials told the I-Team that other Chicago-area employers popular with refugees are Tyson Foods, Five Star Laundry, Rivers Casino, Lettuce Entertain You and Eli’s Cheesecake. Since September 2015 the United States has admitted more than 117,000 refugees, including more than 1,000 since Trump became president on January 20. But the inflow took a hit under a Trump executive order signed in January that banned citizens from seven Muslim-majority nations from entering the U.S. for 90 days. Last year according to state department data Muslims accounted for nearly half of all refugee admissions into the country. The Trump executive order will reduce the number of refugees annually admitted into the U.S. from 110,000 to a mere 50,000 people-the lowest ceiling in 35 years. It is currently estimated that more than 23 million refugees-half of them children-are fleeing war and repression around the world. Officials at the Trump Tower in Chicago have not responded to messages left by the I-Team. Eli’s Cheesecake officials said they currently employ 10 refugees and many other new immigrants. Others couldn’t put a number on their refugee work force.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: So what does Emanuel announce today? A new requirement that, to graduate from a CPS high school, you have to have an approved plan for your future. Or else, well, they won’t hand you the sheepskin and you can hide in a corner, I guess. Under plans unveiled by the mayor today, all students, starting with current freshmen (class of 2020), would have to meet one of several standards to graduate. Those are presenting a college acceptance letter, an acceptance letter from a branch of the U.S. military, or proof of admission to a jobs program like a coding bootcamp or an apprenticeship, acceptance into a “gap year” program, or a job or a job offer.)

FED SMITH
— New Administrative Leave Categories Established By Congress – Wayne Coleman  (DIERSEN: Constructively, my Democrat GAO superiors have had me on reduced pay administrative leave since September 30, 1997.  So far, in today’s dollars, that has cost me $1,406,808 ($10,250/mo. salary minus $4,238 pension times 234 months equals $1,406,808).)
https://www.fedsmith.com/2017/04/05/new-administrative-leave-categories-established-congress/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The second addition to Chapter 63 establishes investigative leave and notice leave by adding Section 6329b. The investigative leave is for use when an employee is under investigation. The notice leave is for use when an employee has been placed on notice of an impending adverse action. These two forms can be used independently or notice leave can follow a period of investigative leave if an adverse action is proposed at the conclusion of an investigation. To use these forms of leave, the agency must determine that the employee’s continued presence may: Pose a threat to the employee or others; Result in the destruction of evidence relevant to an investigation; Result in loss of or damage to Government property; or Otherwise jeopardize legitimate Government interests. The agency also must consider the following alternatives before using either investigative leave or notice leave: Assigning the employee to duties in which the employee no longer poses a threat described in the preceding paragraph; Allowing the employee to take another form of leave for which the employee is eligible, e.g., annual leave; Carrying the employee in absence without leave status (AWOL) if the employee is absent from duty without approved leave; and Curtailing the notice period for an employee subject to one if there is reasonable cause to believe the employee has committed a crime for which a sentence of imprisonment may be imposed; and find that none of these options is appropriate. Generally, investigative leave may be granted for a period of 30 days, but extensions for up to 90 days are possible when approved by the agency’s Chief Human Capital Officer or his designee. Extensions, in 30 day increments, beyond the 90 day total are possible if the agency submits a report to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs of the Senate and the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform of the House of Representatives, along with any other committees of jurisdiction. Notice leave will be granted only for the duration of the prescribed notice period. Here, too, OPM will issue regulations to guide agencies in utilizing investigative and notice leave by the September date mentioned above.)
