CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— Here’s what’s holding up the Illinois marijuana bill The legislation’s
co-author, state Sen. Heather Steans, says “threading the needle” on
expungement may be the biggest challenge. Crain’s has the story. – JOHN PLETZ
(DIERSEN: Needless-to-say, the following should be speaking out strongly
against the marijuana bill in Illinois: Trump and Pence, Illinois, Republican congressmen, Illinois
Republican Party (IRP) National Committeeman and Committeewoman, IRP officers, Republican
House and Senate leaders, your representative on the IRP State Central
Committee, the officers of your Republican township/ward/county party
organizations, you Republican Precinct Committeeman/Captain, Republican
officials who represent you in your municipality, township/ward, county, and
Illinois, etc.)

— Buying a car for your teenager? Here’s what you should keep in mind – Dalvin
Brown (DIERSEN: When you were a teen, did you expect your parents to buy your
first car? I did not. 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.)
