CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Illinois Senate endorsement: Seth Lewis
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/editorials/ct-illinois-senate-endorsements-madigan-rauner-cullerton-edit-20161003-story.html
(FROM THE ENORSEMENT: 23rd District: The remap of legislative districts in Democrats’ favor helped nudge Sen. Tom Cullerton, former Villa Park mayor and a cousin of Senate President John Cullerton, into this seat in 2012. Cullerton has done some things we like. He was lead sponsor of a bill blocked by Republicans to get rid of the unnecessary lieutenant governor’s office. But he doesn’t wander far off his party’s script and should have voted against a budget this spring that was $7 billion out of balance. He voted “present.” Our nod goes to Republican Seth Lewis, an insurance agent from Bartlett, who as a Bartlett Fire Protection District trustee hasn’t been afraid to vote against more spending. He also isn’t afraid to speak against generous pension packages that taxpayers subsidize — including that of his wife, who is a school superintendent. Ouch. We wouldn’t want to be at the dinner table for that discussion.)
— Illinois Senate endorsement: Dan McConchie
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/editorials/ct-illinois-senate-endorsements-madigan-rauner-cullerton-edit-20161003-story.html
(FROM THE ENDORSEMENT: 26th District: This northwest suburban seat opened in April when incumbent Dan Duffy resigned early. Local GOP leaders rallied to Dan McConchie of Hawthorn Woods, who won the March Republican primary. McConchie didn’t get our endorsement in that race, but he’s getting it this time. He has shown a willingness to work across the aisle and dig into policy, including school funding reform and anti-sex trafficking efforts. His opponent, Democrat Kelly Mazeski of Barrington, is an impressive candidate who has been involved in her local government. She characterizes McConchie as “a one-issue” lobbyist who is too socially conservative for the district. We’re not convinced. McConchie left his job with an anti-abortion organization and has shown he is not a one-issue legislator. Let’s give him a chance. McConchie is endorsed.)
— Illinois Senate endorsement: Mel Thillens
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/editorials/ct-illinois-senate-endorsements-madigan-rauner-cullerton-edit-20161003-story.html
(FROM THE ENDORSEMENT: 28th District: We like Sen. Laura Murphy, D-Des Plaines, because she is direct and outspoken. As a former member of the Des Plaines City Council, she advocated canceling a contract with a group opposing O’Hare airport expansion because taxpayers weren’t getting enough for their money. But so far in Springfield, she has stuck to the Democratic playbook, including voting for piecemeal budget bills that expanded government programs but had no real funding attached to them. She also supported a bill at the behest of the state’s largest employee union that was anti-taxpayer. This is a race where taxpayers could say “Enough!” with the budget games. We’re endorsing Republican Mel Thillens of Park Ridge, whose view of government’s role is less, less and less.)
— Illinois Senate endorsement: Michael Amrozowicz
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/editorials/ct-illinois-senate-endorsements-madigan-rauner-cullerton-edit-20161003-story.html
(FROM THE ENDORSEMENT: 31st District: Let’s get one thing out the way: Republican candidate Michael Amrozowicz’s name is pronounced “Am-RO-zo-wits.” The Gurnee resident and former Lake County Republican Party chairman is running against incumbent Sen. Melinda Bush, D-Grayslake, who was elected in 2012 and buoyed by a new, favorable district map. Bush voted against most versions of pension reform and supported a union-backed bill that most editorial boards from Rockford to Carbondale criticized as irresponsible and anti-taxpayer. The state is broke. Taxpayers are tired of shouldering all the promises. Amrozowicz would bring more fiscal sanity to the Senate. He is endorsed.)
— Illinois Senate endorsement: Pamela Althoff
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/editorials/ct-illinois-senate-endorsements-madigan-rauner-cullerton-edit-20161003-story.html
(FROM THE ENDORSEMENT: 32nd District: Sen. Pamela Althoff, R-McHenry, is running for a two-year term and says if re-elected, it will be her last: “I believe in term limits.” Appointed to the seat in 2003, she has represented the northwest suburbs ever since. She has been successful at passing legislation because she lobbies her colleagues on both sides of the aisle and in both chambers. She knows Democrat staff just as well as Republican staff. Not many legislators can say that. We disagreed with her handling of a government consolidation bill this spring — she watered it down — but she still got the bill passed and signed into law. Althoff is endorsed over Democrat Melissa Coyne, a small business owner and community activist from Fox Lake.)
— Illinois Senate endorsement: Sue Rezin
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/editorials/ct-illinois-senate-endorsements-madigan-rauner-cullerton-edit-20161003-story.html
(FROM THE ENDORSEMENT: 38th District: A rematch is underway between Sen. Sue Rezin, R-Morris, and Christine Benson, D-Ottawa. Benson lost to Rezin 46 percent to 54 percent when they faced off in 2012. Benson retired that year as superintendent of Streator Elementary School District 44, which has been struggling with a budget deficit due in part to the state’s inability to make full school payments. But Streator-area voters signaled they are taxed out. They rejected a school referendum to raise property taxes. Rezin would be a stronger advocate for those tax-weary residents. She is a consistent advocate for government consolidation and financial stability. We doubt Benson, who retired with a generous pension and is backed by organized labor, would be as prudent. With Democrats holding their 39-20 advantage over Republicans in the Senate, taxpayers can’t afford to lose another seat. Rezin is endorsed.)
— Illinois Senate endorsement: Michelle Smith
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/editorials/ct-illinois-senate-endorsements-madigan-rauner-cullerton-edit-20161003-story.html
(FROM THE ENDORSEMENT: 49th District: In this southwest suburban district, Sen. Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant, D-Shorewood, is facing Michelle Smith, R-Plainfield, who is the board president in Plainfield School District 202. On the school board, Smith has tried to keep the property tax levy steady while dealing with unpredictability from the state. “Attempting to build a budget every year is like throwing darts blindfolded,” Smith says. Incumbent Bertino-Tarrant should understand the pressure the state’s financial chaos creates in her district — yet she couldn’t bring herself to vote against House Speaker Michael Madigan’s budget, which was $7 billion out of balance. She voted “present.” Votes like that are the reason the state’s finances are a disaster. Smith is strongly endorsed.)
— Illinois Senate endorsement: Paul Schimpf
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/editorials/ct-illinois-senate-endorsements-madigan-rauner-cullerton-edit-20161003-story.html
(FROM THE ENDORSEMENT: 58th District: We know both Republican Paul Schimpf of Waterloo and Democrat Sheila Simon of Carbondale to be dedicated public servants. Schimpf served in the U.S. Marine Corps and was an adviser to Iraqi prosecutors during the trial of Saddam Hussein. Simon was lieutenant governor under Pat Quinn. But here’s a case where voters in Southern Illinois can demand change. The economy in this part of the state is desperate for revitalization. Democratic policies have not worked. Schimpf supports workers’ comp changes to make Illinois more business-friendly. He also supports tort reform and term limits. Schimpf is endorsed.)
— Illinois Senate endorsement: Dale Fowler
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/editorials/ct-illinois-senate-endorsements-madigan-rauner-cullerton-edit-20161003-story.html
(FROM THE ENDORSEMENT: 59th District: It’s strange that Sen. Gary Forby, D-Benton, claims to be a fiscal steward, often proclaiming that the state should retire its massive pile of unpaid bills. Then he voted in May for House Speaker Michael Madigan’s spending plan, which everyone knew was $7 billion short. He didn’t have to vote for it. Most Democratic senators did not. Remember that, voters of this district, when you show up to cast a ballot on Nov. 8. A better choice is Dale Fowler, mayor of Harrisburg, who knows what “reckless spending” actually means. Fowler is endorsed.)
— FROM THE ARTICLE: 22nd District: Tracy Smodilla of Bartlett, didn’t run in the primary but managed to ward off a Democratic challenge as a last-minute slated Republican. She’s smart, outspoken and fiscally conservative. She is not afraid to stand up to, well, anyone. She successfully fought an unnecessary tax increment financing district in her hometown. We hope to see her name on future ballots.

http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/naperville-sun/ct-nvs-dupage-county-early-voting-st-1002-20160930-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Early voting  Early voting started Thursday in the DuPage County, and has already drawn hundreds of residents eager to cast ballots in a presidential election expected to draw 80 percent of the county’s registered voters. “Early voting has started! We can vote for Hillary today! Then we’ll get a glass of wine,” said Maureen Quirk, of Wheaton, who joined co-worker Debbie Szydlo, of Carol Stream, at the Wheaton-based election commission office Friday afternoon to make official their votes for the Democratic presidential candidate. “She needs suburban white women. Well, here we are,” Quirk said. About 160 voters Thursday and nearly 200 Friday filled out ballots to vote for president, U.S. Senate, DuPage County offices and other races at the 421 N. County Farm Road office, said Joseph Sobecki, assistant executive director of the DuPage County Election Commission. The site is the first early polling place in DuPage County. Nearly a dozen more are scheduled to open around the county Oct. 24 and will operate through Nov. 7. Election Day is Nov. 8. The crowd Friday wasn’t exclusively made up of Democrats or Clinton supporters. Voters Bob and Carole Rutan, both 74, of Wheaton, said they are registered Republicans although they declined to name their candidate of choice. “I don’t like either one of them that much,” Carole Rutan said. The couple said they wanted to vote before heading to Florida later in October. Sobecki said he and his staff are preparing for record voter turnout — expected to be as high as 80 percent — in this year’s general election. The spring primary election drew a record number of DuPage County voters, with nearly 290,000 ballots cast. “It was the highest total number we’ve had since we recorded primaries,” Sobecki said. “We expect that trend to continue for the general election.”)

Early in the season, Moultrie County Circuit Court Clerk Cindy Braden bet DuPage County Circuit Court Clerk Chris Kachiroubas the Cardinals would beat the Cubs for the National League Central title. The Cubs ran away with the division, so Braden showed up in Wheaton on Friday to pay up and do Kachiroubas’ job for a day.)

— Closing Chicago’s inequality gap one business at a time – JESSICA DROSTE YAGAN  (DIERSEN: Yagan should stress the federal government.  Since the 1960s, the federal government’s top priority in Chicago has been a) to hire, to retain, and to promote young Democrat minorities and young Democrat females and b) to make way for them by wasting the careers of and by getting rid of its employees who are Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)
http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20160930/OPINION/160929765
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Chicago is a city of extremes. It gets very hot and very cold. We have some of the most generous and kind people I know, yet violence is exploding across the city. The tech sector is booming, yet entire swaths of the city have seen little to no new opportunities. Dependent largely upon our skin color and ZIP code—which are inextricably related—Chicagoans are either gaining in educational attainment and benefiting from rising property values and increasing income or they are experiencing the opposite. Make no mistake, the status quo costs us all: Nations with greater inequality tend to have fewer periods of sustained economic growth. Is it a coincidence that Chicago ranks in the bottom third of the world’s largest economies for GDP growth and employment? I have a bias toward optimism and action. Yes, we have problems with racism and inequality. Yes, we have an epidemic of violence. But what can those of us in the business community do about it? One obvious answer lies in jobs.)

— GOP bill proposes freeze on U.S. naturalizations – Cristina Marcos
http://thehill.com/policy/national-security/298588-gop-bill-proposes-freeze-on-granting-immigrants-citizenship
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A House Republican introduced legislation to prevent the U.S. government from granting immigrants citizenship, responding to a report found that several hundred people slated for deportation were accidentally naturalized. The bill, offered by Rep. John Culberson (R-Texas) before Congress departed this week for its pre-election recess, would halt any new naturalizations until the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) finishes modernizing its fingerprint record database. A DHS inspector general report made public this month stated that at least 858 people ordered to be deported were mistakenly granted citizenship because their digital fingerprint records weren’t in DHS or FBI databases. Some paper-based fingerprint records weren’t consistently converted into digital form.)

DAILY HERALD
— DuPage Election Commission wants its lawyers to be less political – Robert Sanchez
http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20160929/news/160928558/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Attorneys representing the DuPage County Election Commission might have to say “no” the next time a candidate asks them for a campaign contribution. The board that oversees the commission is working to establish a policy that would prohibit the agency’s attorneys from engaging in certain political activity “on behalf of any candidate under the jurisdiction” of the commission. According to a draft of the document, the proposed policy is intended to assure the public that the results of elections in DuPage “are free from any factors which would affect the integrity of the vote tabulation or the voter confidence in the electoral process.” The move comes after officials learned that Bond, Dickson & Associates — a Wheaton law firm that represents the election commission — has donated more than $6,300 since 2003 to Republican Recorder Fred Bucholz.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Trump opponents, supporters clash outside Bolingbrook fundraiser – Frank Vaisvilas and Alicia Fabbre (DIERSEN: Those who spoke very highly of Trump at this outstanding event included Roger Claar and Rudy Giuliani.  The 300+ attendees included John Cabello, Brad Cole, Dan Cronin, Demetra DeMonte, Kirk Dillard, Ron Gidwitz, Dan Hampton, David MacNeil, Richard Porter, Todd Ricketts, Skip Saviano, Tim Schneider, Mickey Straub, and Dave Tornga.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/bolingbrook-plainfield/news/ct-nvs-trump-bolingbrook-st-0929-20160928-story.html
(FROM AN EARLIER VERSION OF THE ARTICLE: David John Diersen, editor for gopillinois.com, said Rudy Giuliani made a surprise appearance.  He said Trump made many jokes and his winning Illinois is “in the realm of possibilities.” Attendee Joshua Naponiello, who’s a volunteer with the DuPage County GOP, said Trump gave a speech with talking points that included reducing regulation, reducing taxes for businesses and the middle class and repealing Obamacare. He said one of Trump’s guests included a representative of the Pakistani Islamic community and an Islamic prayer was given and everyone prayed along. Some of Trump’s supporters also showed up early, including Garry Slabaugh of Romeoville. He said he is excited the candidate he supported since the beginning of the primaries was virtually in his backyard. “I heard about (the fundraiser) last night, and I could hardly sleep,” Slabaugh said. “My wife wishes she was off today so she could be here.” He said he and his wife attended the Trump rally at UIC on March 11 that was canceled amid security concerns. “People were pounding our van and called us racist and they didn’t even know us,” Slabaugh said. “I hope it’s not like that today.” He said he’s not a racist and supports Trump because “he’s tells the truth.” “I don’t like the way things are going,” Slabaugh said. “I don’t want more of the same.” Police staged all demonstrators, supporters and media in a field across the street from the clubhouse not allowing anyone uninvited into the private event in which donors paid up to $250,000.)

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Trump pumps up the room in Bolingbrook fundraiser – Michael Sneed
http://chicago.suntimes.com/politics/sneed-trump-pumps-up-the-room-in-bolingbrook-fundraiser/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Hey! Hey!  It was a Trump love fest. Pull up a luncheon chair. Donald Trump, who has dinged Chicago for our murder rate, denounced the Cubs last year for being poorly run by owners who opposed his campaign, and expressed concern for the Chicago Bears going forward — was all banter, burble and bubble at a private luncheon in Bolingbrook on Wednesday. “I love Chicago. I am an investor here. It’s a great city,” chirped Trump, who left the Bolingbrook Golf Club fund-raiser organized by savvy Bolingbrook Mayor Roger Claar with $1.5 million bucks in his political pocket. “It was a huge blowout,” a luncheon source said. Trump, who took no questions from the 350 plus donors dining on cold salmon salad and Claar’s favorite yellow pudding, played it mellow while pitching podium bon mots to the audience in the Ronald Reagan room. Todd Ricketts, a co-owner of the Cubs who is CEO of the conservative Ending Spending Super PAC, was in attendance. In a shout-out to Ricketts, Trump yelled: “I want to commend the Ricketts family on their business plan and how they rebuilt the Chicago Cubs in a few short years!”  Ricketts shouted back:” It’s gonna be a great year because YOU are going to win the presidency AND THE CUBS ARE GOING TO WIN THE WORLD SERIES!”  (Trump’s praise for the Cubs followed disclosures Wednesday morning Joe Ricketts was doing a turnaround, endorsing Trump and donating $1 million to elect him.) The room erupted into applause. Trump was now on a roll. Tossing a huge shoutout to retired Hall of Fame football defensive tackle Dan Hampton, whom he mistakenly called “Dave,” Trump praised Hampton and asked him to join him on stage. “My daughter Ivanka always reminds me I am a BIG guy,” said Trump, who reportedly weighs 267 pounds. “So I just want to show my children there are guys bigger than me. And I want you to tell coach [Mike] Ditka how much I love the guy and appreciate his support and friendship.”  Then Trump told Hampton he “wished you’d suit up because the Bears need you.”  Trump also volunteered to lend Hampton his knees. “I have great knees and if you want to borrow them. I’d be more than happy to do so,” Trump said. Trump then gave a big shout-out to WeatherTech CEO David MacNeil, commending him for manufacturing his product in America. MacNeil shouted back: “And I employ 1,100 people here in Bolingbrook.” Trump, however, saved the knife for Republican U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk, who has refused to endorse Trump. The source claimed Trump stated: “It is one thing not to endorse me, but it another thing to use me in ads for yourself against me. Guys like Kirk who are behind in the polls can’t figure out why guys like me are ahead in the polls.” Trump, who told the crowd his campaign raised $18 million since his televised debate two days ago, singled Kirk out several times for disdain, the source added. Trump also praised Claar, who organized the event. Overseeing a diverse community, Claar’s event had a Muslim deliver the invocation, an African-American as master of ceremonies, and an African-American woman sing the national anthem, according to the source.)

  1. LOUIS TODAY
    — Do whites and men have too much power? – Scott Clement and Emily Guskin  (DIERSEN: How much power do you have?  Power is religious, government, political, and/or financial clout.)
    http://www.stltoday.com/news/national/govt-and-politics/do-whites-and-men-have-too-much-power/article_a343bfc0-b572-5f66-90f1-215d5820e7dc.html
    (FROM THE ARTICLE: It’s no secret that race and gender issues have been front-and-center in this year’s presidential contest, and a new Washington Post-ABC News poll shines a new light on a central part of this dynamic: views of the power of whites and men. White men fueled Trump’s overall support in the poll, with likely voters in this demographic favoring him by a whopping 40-point margin, compared with a nearly tied contest among white women (46-44) and Clinton’s 50-point lead among all non-white voters (69-19). The Post-ABC poll also asked whether men, women, whites and racial and ethnic minorities have “too much,” “too little” or “about the right amount” of influence in the country. Just more than four in 10 registered voters say each of women and minorities have too little influence, while far fewer say either has too much sway. Looking at whites and men, nearly four in 10 voters say men have too much influence in the country, while one-third says the same about whites. Putting those questions together, voters split evenly, with 48 percent saying whites or men have too much influence, while 48 percent say neither group does. The Post-ABC poll found responses to this question are closely connected with support for Clinton and Trump. Trump’s support is 36 points higher among voters who say whites have “about the right amount” or “too little” influence in America, compared with those who say whites have too much influence (53 percent to 17 percent). Trump’s support is also 27 percentage points higher among voters who reject the idea that men have “too much” influence, compared with those who do. Put together, Trump leads Clinton by a 57-28 margin among voters who say neither whites nor men have too much influence, while he trails Clinton by 52 points among voters who say both whites and men have too much influence (14-66). Fascinatingly, the impact of these attitudes is largest among voters who belong to the two historically advantaged demographics. Whites voters who say their racial group has too much influence prefer Clinton by a 38-point margin over Trump (61-23), while those who say their influence is about right or insufficient favor Trump by a 40-point margin (63-23). Likewise, male voters who say men are too influential favor Clinton by 25 points (52-27) while those who feel men are not too powerful prefer Trump by a 44-point margin (59-25). Political divisions over gender and race are far from new, and the poll also finds big partisan splits on these questions – an indication that they predate Clinton and Trump’s candidacies. Democrats are about twice as likely to say men have too much influence as Republicans and three times as likely to say whites have too much sway. But it is also likely that heated rhetoric over police shootings of black men, racism, sexism and immigration have helped solidify partisan divisions on issues of race and gender.)

THE HILL
— Lawmakers, tech talk diversity – Ali Breland and David McCabe  (DIERSEN: To promote diversity is to get rid of those who are Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)
http://origin-nyi.thehill.com/policy/technology/overnights/298165-overnight-tech-tech-comes-to-the-hill-to-talk-diversity-ftc
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Shiu called for more power and resources for her office to be able to better handle workplace equity issues.
“What is required to address this issue is more resources for the agency. What is required is that every contractor has to file its affirmative action plan so we don’t get the plans just when we come knocking. What is required is that the OFCCP has the subpoena authority that the [Equal Employment Opportunity Commission] has,” Shiu said. The panel’s talk also focused on specific government agencies as well as the general ethos in tech that critics say contributes to the lack of workplace diversity. The panel members said the lack of diversity made it harder for tech companies to spot and fix certain problems. “I felt there was a cultural problem at Airbnb,” said Laura Murphy, a senior adviser at the company. “Three young, white guys, who founded the company 8 years ago now run a company that’s valued at $30 billion. Doing that in 8 years, they grew very fast. They didn’t change their social networks in the process of growing. We live in a very segregated society. When issues of segregation came up they were turning to each other, which wasn’t the most effective option.”)

 

HUFFINGTON POST

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-baltimore-gazette_us_57eb1f47e4b024a52d2b71e6
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But not so fast! Donald Trump has a media coup of his own to brag about. Seems that some eagle-eyed investigative reporters at the Baltimore Gazette have brought home a dilly of a scoop: “Multiple reports and leaked information from inside the Clinton camp claim that the Clinton campaign was given the entire set of debate questions an entire week before the actual debate.” . . . The Baltimore Gazette, a newspaper that existed very briefly just after the Civil War, has returned online as a site to spread fake news stories and other nonsense. . . Yes, turns out the Baltimore Gazette is just one more in an increasingly baffling array of “parody” news sites that swap the humor of The Onion with the crackpottery of your great-uncle’s emails, all while dressing up their wares with as close an approximation to real news as they can muster. (Weigel reports that the “Gazette” does salt its bogus offerings with occasional stories that are on the level ― and stolen from other sources.))

http://www.wsj.com/articles/how-men-women-see-the-workplace-differently-1474970085
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Men and women go to the same business meetings, have the same colleagues, strive for the same jobs up the ladder. Yet a major new study by LeanIn.Org and McKinsey & Co. shows that men still get more promotions, more challenging assignments and more access to top leaders. And while growing numbers of women are negotiating for raises and promotions, they also face pushback when they do. A Journal Report looks at the different worlds that men and women inhabit at work—and what can be done to make them more equal.)
