CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— ALL OF THE FRONT PAGE: DIERSEN HEADLINE: Those who run the Chicago Sun-Times say “Our independent, award-winning journalism lives on.”  However, ever-increasingly, the Chicago Sun-Times acts like it is an arm of the Democrat Party. How independent are your news sources?  You should know where their money comes from and how much.  He who pays the piper calls the tunes. All news sources should be required to disclose the source and amount of all of their income.  They should also disclose the real source and amount of all income laundered through third, fourth, fifth, etc. parties.  All my money comes from the Civil Service Retirement System ($50,856/year) and Social Security ($2,028/year).  My critics/opponent are beyond furious that they cannot take that income away from me. Ever-increasingly, they make it clear that they will use their tremendous religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois to viciously destroy me and any individual, any organization, any company, or any government that might come to my defense.)

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: Bloomingdale Township moving to form mental health board – Robert Sanchez (DIERSEN: Of course, this will encourage those who have “mental illness, addiction, and developmental disabilities” to move to Bloomingdale Township.)
http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20170515/news/170519177/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Voters approved a ballot question that makes the township establish a board devoted to improving the availability and quality of services for township residents with mental illness, addiction, and developmental disabilities. Ed Levato was township supervisor when the referendum was placed on the ballot after a successful petition drive organized by a group of residents. He said Monday that township staff members were simply misinformed when they told a Daily Herald reporter before the election that the ballot question was advisory. “They were not given any information about it,” he said. “It wasn’t our referendum. It was a citizens’ initiative.” Levato apologized for the miscommunication. He said he personally didn’t support the measure. “It’s a huge tax increase,” Levato said. According to preliminary estimates, owners of homes valued at $240,000 would pay about $56 a year in property taxes to support the mental health board. The tax is expected to be collected for the first time next year. However, Michael Murray, chairman of the committee that backed the referendum, said their campaign made it clear to residents that some type of tax increase would be necessary to fund the mental health board. The panel will use the money to award grants to agencies that provide detection, early diagnosis, education, assistance and treatment programs.)

BLOOMINGTON PANTAGRAPH

— GOP rips Pritzker for getting $230K property tax reduction – AP  (DIERSEN: Those individuals, organizations, companies, and governments that promote Pat Brady have always worked against individuals like me, against organizations like TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, against companies, and against governments that support the Republican Party platform, the Illinois Republican Party platform, and/or the Milton Township Republican Central Committee resolution against video gambling.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Illinois Republican Party held a news conference Monday in front of the home, where former party Chairman Pat Brady accused Pritzker of engaging in a “con job” that took much-needed money from Chicago Public Schools and social services. He noted the home is located in one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in the U.S., and said Pritzker has more than enough money to pay the full amount.)
— Communities scramble to deal with harm from opioids – Edith Brady-Lunny  (DIERSEN: What about dealing with harm from booze, from pot, from gambling, and from other destructive vices?  Many, if not most, if not virtually all of my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes talk and act a) like they want to drink lots of booze, smoke lots of pot, and/or gamble lots of money, b) like they do drink lots of booze, smoke lots of pot, and/or gamble lots of money, and/or c) like they want to make lots of money getting others to drink lots of booze, smoke lots of pot, and/or gamble lots of money.)

My critics/opponents side a) with the subdivision’s developer and builder of my home and b) with City of Wheaton officials who approved the subdivision’s grossly inadequate storm water drainage plan and approved the violation of many construction and building codes when the subdivision was constructed in 1983 and my home was built in 1983 and 1984.)

For many years now, to prolong the driveway’s useful life, I have had the driveway seal coated in the spring and in the fall each year.  Of course, if I sought a government office or a political office, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes would use that against me, just like they would use against me a) my having a 20-W whole-house backup natural gas-fired electric generator installed and b) my spending my time and my money to prevent basement flooding and to address lot drainage problems.)

https://capitolfax.com/2017/05/16/attacks-continue-on-pritzker-over-property-tax-breaks/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: OK, so read between the lines a bit. Pritzker paid $3.7 million for the house, but it’s assessed value remained at or above its original $6 million list price. Usually, you’d file for a reassessment right away if you bought a house for much lower than its assessed valuation, but Pritzker didn’t, which cost him some bucks he didn’t need to be paying.)
