— Rauner to sign immigration bill — sparking anger on right – Tina Sfondeles  (DIERSEN: Obviously, Rauner is taking the advice of those who not only want Rauner to lose in 2018, but who want all Republicans to lose in 2018.)
http://chicago.suntimes.com/news/rauner-to-sign-immigration-bill-sparking-anger-on-right/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Gov. Bruce Rauner plans to sign into law on Monday both an automatic voter registration and an immigration measure that would limit the role of local law enforcement in federal efforts —a move that may spark some backlash among his conservative base. Conservative firebrand Joe Walsh tweeted if he signs the immigration bill, “Governor Rauner is done.” Last week the governor on WBEZ-FM called the immigration measure — the Illinois Trust Act — “very reasonable,” but would not confirm whether he’d sign it. On Tuesday, the governor’s office confirmed he’d sign the immigration and voter registration measures on Monday. The immigration legislation would prohibit police in Illinois from detaining or arresting a person based on their immigration status or on federal immigration detainer. It would allow law enforcement officials, however, to detain a person with a judge’s order. The bill passed with bipartisan support and was supported by faith leaders, law enforcement and businesses. But Republicans initially opposed the measure, arguing it will cause a conflict with federal laws. State Sen. Dave Syverson of Rockford has said Republicans are concerned the “blanket prohibition could result in leaving criminal illegal immigrants, including those accused of violent crimes, on the streets.” The conservative news organization Breitbart just wrote an article on the bill suggesting Rauner would be helping Democrats “frustrate federal immigration enforcement.” And Walsh, a former congressman and talk radio personality, weighed in on Tuesday, tweeting that if Rauner “allows Illinois to become a sanctuary state, I will not support his reelection. No way.” When TV reporter Mary Ann Ahern tweeted that Rauner planned to sign the bill, Walsh responded: “If true, bad terrible day for Illinois. Gov Rauner is done.” Rauner has steered clear of making comments about federal issues, specifically about “sanctuary cities.” He has said he’s in support of a comprehensive immigration policy, however. The automatic voter registration measure will automatically register people to vote at state drivers’ facilities, when applying for, updating or renewing a driver’s license or state ID — unless they opt out. It also creates a similar program for other state agencies. The governor vetoed a similar measure last year, citing concerns over voter fraud, and federal election laws. Illinois will be the ninth state to approve automatic voter registration. The measure was sent to the governor June 29.)
— ‘White male’ Rauner opts not to weigh in on racial debate over cartoon – Tina Sfondeles  (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, anti-Trumps and anti-Rauners demonize, denigrate, and condemn as being White supremacists, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things those who are Trump supporters, Rauner supporters, Protestant, conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders (except Bill Clinton), and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
http://chicago.suntimes.com/news/white-male-rauner-opts-not-to-weigh-in-on-racial-debate-over-cartoon/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Noting that he is “a white male,” Gov. Bruce Rauner does not plan to wade into the controversy over a cartoon by a conservative think tank that sparked bipartisan outrage in the General Assembly and charges that it was racially offensive. “The governor would never try to talk anyone out of their reaction to any piece of art, political or nonpolitical, right or left, good or bad,” Rauner spokeswoman Laurel Patrick said Tuesday. “The governor has great respect for the black caucus and members of the General Assembly who voiced concerns about the cartoon. “The governor’s office has also heard from members of the black community who found truth in the imagery and do not find the cartoon offensive. Here is where things stand: The cartoon was removed days ago. And the governor – as a white male – does not have anything more to add to the discussion.” The cartoon by the Illinois Policy Institute depicted a black child in a Cubs cap begging for money for school from a wealthy cigar-smoking white man, who was showing one pocket empty and the other stuffed with tax-increment financing money. State Rep. Jaime Andrade denounced the cartoon on the floor of the General Assembly, drawing a bipartisan standing ovation when he denounced it as “s—.”  State Rep. Christian Mitchell, D-Chicago, called it a “Sambo” cartoon.  State Rep. Tom Demmer, R-Dixon, agreed, tweeting “Cartoons don’t make racism any more palatable @illinoispolicy should delete their cartoon and apologize. That has no place in policy debate.” The response from Rauner’s office on Tuesday did not go over well with Mitchell. “Wait what? So being a white male removes @GovRauner from a position of moral leadership? This is more disgraceful than saying nothing,” Mitchell tweeted. The Illinois Policy Institute defended the cartoon, which was intended to depict how Chicago siphons money from education with TIF funds. The think tank denied that it was racist, but removed it from its website, saying it was distracting from the debate over education funding and “the failure of political leaders to address the root cause of our struggling education system.” The think tank has been aligned with the governor, and Rauner has tapped its staff to replace senior members of his own administration since his budget veto was overridden earlier this year. Even after the institute removed the cartoon, NBC5 Political Reporter Mary Ann Ahern kept the issue alive on Twitter, repeatedly questioning whether the governor had seen the cartoon and what his reaction was. Patrick finally responded Tuesday. “Charges of racism must be taken very seriously,” she said. “The tragedy in Charlottesville and its aftermath serve as sobering reminders that even today, some remain who would use violence and hate to divide us. We must never relent in working toward a future built not on what divides us, but what unites us.”)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— The Illinois Eclipse: It’s not about Aug. 21. It’s every day. – Editorial  (DIERSEN: How long have your ancestors been in Illinois?  All my ancestors immigrated to northeast Illinois during the 1840s and 1850s and have been here ever since.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/editorials/ct-edit-illinois-eclipse-springfield-economy-0820-story.html
(FROM THE EDITORIAL: Face it: No one comes to Illinois for the weather or to climb mountains. People come — or came — for opportunity. But that once-thriving state has receded into the shadow. Why? Because while surrounding states add jobs, Illinois grinds private-sector concerns in its gears. The nation generated a 1.3 percent average annual growth rate from 2006-16, but Illinois managed just 0.4 percent, according to James Broughel of the Mercatus Center at George Mason University. Wisconsin outstripped Illinois with a 0.7 percent rate, and Indiana’s was more than double this state’s, at 0.9 percent. In July, the state’s unemployment rate ticked up. That’s the same month that Springfield passed a 32 percent personal income tax hike — inviting more people and businesses to head for the exits. Thank you, Senate President John Cullerton and House Speaker Michael Madigan. And what about those promised reforms, such as overhauling workers’ compensation, that could persuade more businesses to come, stay or expand? Or pruning Illinois’ wildly overgrown local governments to ease taxpayer burdens — two of the items on Gov. Bruce Rauner’s pro-jobs agenda? What, say the ranking Democrats, us worry? We recently sized up this state’s economic competitiveness and quality of life in a series of measures. In capsule, Illinois leads the nation in the worst ways. You know about the lousy credit rating, the unfunded pension liabilities, the onerous regulations on employers. Once a colossus that overshadowed its Midwest neighbors, Illinois in eclipse can’t escape the shadow. Other states gain by offering a sunnier jobs climate. Wisconsin recently landed what could be a $10 billion Foxconn LCD panel factory that will employ as many as 13,000 people. How did Wisconsin prevail? By being close to Illinois but not Illinois. Foxconn sought to exploit Illinois’ assets — its transportation and logistical systems, its energy reliability — but avoid its ever-rising taxes, crushing public debts and never-ending political brink-dancing. Foxconn chose a state that does the basics, like pass a budget every year. In a state in eclipse, though, even that task is too difficult. In a state in eclipse, taxes rise with no offsetting reforms. In a state in eclipse, voters return the same failed pols to the legislature decade after decade in a triumph of naive hope over costly experience.)

I didn’t earn it sooner a) because I took only one course at a time and b) the program required me to take 16 courses. In 1976, Loyola changed its requirements so that those who had an undergraduate degree in business like I did only had to take 12 courses.)

SPRINGFIELD STATE JOURNAL REGISTER
— Rauner tells reporters to not question wife’s role in the administration – Doug Finke (DIERSEN: When Republican elected officials act against the Republican Party platform, overwhelmingly, it is because that is what their wife wants them to do.)
http://www.sj-r.com/news/20170819/statehouse-insider-rauner-tells-reporters-to-not-question-wifes-role-in-administration
(FROM THE ARTICLE: You could say Gov. BRUCE RAUNER was not a happy man last week. A couple of media outlets filed open records requests to get emails sent by first lady DIANA RAUNER on a state email account. It was not a question of trying to get emails sent on a personal account. One reason was to determine if the first lady had a hand in all of the recent staff changes, as many suspect. Anyway, according to Politico, the request was denied citing two exemptions in the state’s open records law. One exempts communication with an attorney that would not be revealed in court, and the other covers preliminary drafts, notes and etc. If you’ve used the Freedom of Information Act, you know that the preliminary drafts exemption can be used to conceal a whole lot of stuff. The news outlets did stories about the denials on Tuesday. The whole thing seemed to be on the governor’s mind Tuesday afternoon when he did an availability at the fair. “Reporters have been calling asking if my wife has been very involved in the staff changes that have gone on in my office over the last month or two,” he said. “I think the inquiries, the questions themselves are pathetic. I think they are terrible. I think it just shows how desperate my political opponents are to try to attack my through attacking my wife. I think it’s disgusting.” He went on to say he decides who is on his senior staff. Remarkably, he wasn’t asked a question about the issue, he just launched into it at the end of the availability.)
— Sam McCann – Doug Finke
http://www.sj-r.com/news/20170819/statehouse-insider-rauner-tells-reporters-to-not-question-wifes-role-in-administration
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The one Senate Republican who voted to override Rauner’s amendatory veto of the school funding bill was SAM McCANN of Plainview. It was not the first time McCann has voted against the wishes of the governor. Last week, Senate Republican Leader BILL BRADY of Bloomington was asked if McCann was still welcome in the Senate Republican caucus. “He’s a Republican. He’s welcome,” Brady said. “Everyone’s got to vote their district.” Brady said he was unhappy McCann didn’t give fellow Republicans a heads-up on how he would vote. But Brady was willing to forgive McCann if McCann thought he was voting how his constituents wanted. Their constituents are telling them to support the governor because as originally passed by the General Assembly, the education funding bill is a Chicago bailout that should be stopped. Wonder if McCann or his representatives have a better read on the district.)

— Chance the Rapper gives out 30K backpacks to kids at parade – WBBM/CNN  (DIERSEN: What do you give out to others? I have given out GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails free of charge and without any advertising since 2000. Those emails have gone out each and ever morning since 2004, each and every evening since 2015, and they have included links to more than 278,100 articles and information on many upcoming events.)
http://www.wtol.com/story/36123613/chance-the-rapper-gives-out-30k-backpacks-to-kids-at-parade
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Chance the Rapper led the way as grand marshal of the annual Bud Billiken Parade in the South Side. Chance, a native of the city’s Chatham neighborhood, donated 30,000 stuffed backpacks for children along the parade route. The parade, now in its 88th year, is a tradition meant to serve as a back-to-school send off. “This is the best thing they have every year,” said a parent on the route. Since education is the focus, funding for public schools was on the minds of parade-goers and city leaders. “Right now we are suffering in a racially discriminatory funding system that it hurts funding in our state,” said  Forrest Claypool, Chicago Public Schools CEO. And while Gov. Bruce Rauner made an appearance before the parade, he did not address the funding issue during the event. Mayor Rahm Emanuel did address the issue. “The state of Illinois has the responsibility not to just show at a parade, not just to cheer, but to actively put resources that taxpayers of the city of Chicago give the state and fund our education equitably and fairly,” Emanuel said.)

AMERICAN THINKER
— Guess who pays for those $150,000 Columbia journalism degrees? – Monica Showalter (DIERSEN: Since I became the GOPUSA Illinois Editor in 2000, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have viciously demonized me, viciously denigrated me, and viciously condemned me because neither my bachelor’s degree nor any of my three master’s degrees are in journalism. In my defense, much of what GAO Analysts do is very similar to what journalists do. I worked for GAO as an Analyst 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $94,610-$122,991. Further, much of what GAO Analysts do is similar to what IRS Revenue Officers do. I worked for IRS as a Revenue Officer 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2  years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $79,563-$90,173.)
http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2017/08/guess_who_pays_for_those_150000_columbia_journalism_degrees.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: What is questionable is the issue of who pays for the degree. President Obama put limits on repaying back student loans at the 20-year mark, meaning anyone who takes out debt at the $150,000 level is only going to be repaying a fraction of that debt. The taxpayers will pick up the remainder of the tab. Should the taxpayers be paying for that? Particularly if the journalists being turned out end up being advocacy journalists on just one side of the political spectrum? That is worth asking. Cooper makes a very important point in noting that the federal incentives for taking out high-dollar loans and the abbreviated payment obligations make high-priced, questionable-value degrees on offer inevitable at places like Columbia, writing:)

MADISON
— 5 Figures That Define the Middle Class – Sean Williams  (DIERSEN: From what I see, because the cost of living is so high in DuPage County, you need way more than “$24,173 to $72,521” to live a middle class life style in DuPage County and save for your retirement.)
http://host.madison.com/business/investment/markets-and-stocks/figures-that-define-the-middle-class/article_71955a5b-e0d6-5ebc-befc-12e6528774f0.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: 1. $24,173 to $72,521  First things first: we have to define what middle-class income actually is. According to Pew Research Center, which conducted a study on the shrinking middle class in late 2015, an individual would qualify for the middle class if he or she earned more than $24,173 in 2014 dollars, or less than $72,521. Pew’s official definition is income of between 67% and 200% of overall median household income. Back in 1971, some 80 million Americans were considered to be in the middle class, compared to 51 million Americans who were either lumped in the lower- or upper-income brackets. However, by 2015, there were 121.3 million lower- and upper-income Americans, combined (using Pew’s definition of 67% to 200% of median household income). This is compared to 120.8 million middle-income Americans. In a span of 44 years, the middle class had become the minority. . .4. Approximately 70% have less than $1,000 saved for emergencies It’s no secret that Americans aren’t good savers. The U.S. personal saving rate has dipped by more than 50% over the past five decades, and we’re saving nowhere near the recommended 10% to 15% of our paychecks. But it’ll probably shock you to see how bad the middle class is at socking away cash for emergencies. According to a survey from GoBankingRates in September 2016, 37% of persons bringing home $25,000 to $49,999 annually didn’t have a dime in savings, and another 35% had less $1,000. Similarly, 33% of the people making between $50,000 and $74,999 had $0 in savings, and 36% had less than $1,000. Essentially, 7 in 10 middle-class folks have less than $1,000 saved for emergencies, which is scary low. . .5. Debt at 122% of annual household income The middle class has also been highly proficient at racking up debt over the past two-plus decades, according to data from the Federal Reserve’s Survey of Consumer Finances, which is conducted every three years. Though debt for middle-class households hit an all-time high of 140% of annual household income in 2010, the 122% of debt relative to annual household income that middle-class households are lugging around as of 2013 still isn’t good. Comparatively, this is also nearly double the debt burden that middle-class families were contending with in 1989.)

Pension double-dipping is another problem,” he wrote.)
