— A lesson in contrasts: How the GOP purged its leader amid corruption allegations – Editorial
https://www.chicagotribune.com/opinion/editorials/ct-edit-corruption-madigan-comed-lee-daniels-20200807-3q6u23z34ncvrii6mlctw2ydwy-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In June 2002, then-Illinois Republican Party Chairman Lee Daniels abruptly announced his resignation from that party post as pressure mounted, including from the GOP state attorney general, to remove unwanted “distractions” in an election year. Daniels and his chief of staff had fallen under the radar of federal prosecutors who were investigating whether GOP staff members did campaign work on state time. “The party deserves to serve its purpose without unwarranted distractions,” Daniels, who as House minority leader was House Speaker Michael Madigan’s counterpart, said in announcing he would step down as party chair. “For that reason, it is best that I refocus my energy and encourage others to refocus theirs.” Not long after, the House Republican caucus voted 33-18 to install a new House leader, Rep. Tom Cross, after Daniels lost support among his colleagues in that role too. Daniels had not been charged and was only peripherally linked to a time sheet scandal, but the whiff of a federal corruption probe pushed his members to force him out of leadership. Three years later, Daniels’ chief of staff, Michael Tristano, formally was indicted and later pleaded guilty to a fraud charge as part of a probe into state workers’ diverting taxpayer resources to campaigns. Tristano also was accused of working out a deal with a real estate group to put a Republican candidate on its payroll. In exchange, the real estate group’s project received more than $1 million in state funds, prosecutors said. Other statehouse insiders, including Madigan, then-Treasurer Judy Baar Topinka and Senate President Emil Jones, also had been asked to turn over records as part of a state-resources-to-campaigns scandal. Shortly after Tristano’s indictment in 2005, Daniels announced he would retire from his remaining position as a state representative. Daniels was not implicated in Tristano’s indictment, and he was never charged with wrongdoing. But he left anyway. A top GOP party and policy leader in the state who once held three positions of power was gone, pushed out by his own members and a nudge from the previous GOP attorney general, Jim Ryan, who had forwarded corruption allegations to federal investigators. Under the lens of compare and contrast, then and now, one takeaway is this state’s breathtaking tolerance for corruption. It has settled into the system of governance and politics as its own permanent institution. Corruption is an expected byproduct of serving in public office, like wind makes waves.)

I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton’s West District, Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County’s 4th District, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on those who promote booze, gambling, pot, and other vices. They stress that unlike them, I am not a member of a church, I do not attend church services, and I do not give money to a church. They stress that on Saturday evenings or Sunday mornings, instead of attending church services like they do, I put GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and send them out. I would focus on those who hate Missouri Synod Lutherans (MSL). I was baptized, raised, and confirmed as a MSL. My outstanding parents sent me to Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete 1953-1961 and then to Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1961-1962 to stay with MSL.)

DAILY HERALD
— ‘Unmasked’ rally defies school virus rule, Pritzker critique – AP
https://www.dailyherald.com/article/20200725/news/307259926/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The ‘Million Unmasked March,’ which took its name from the social-justice march a quarter-century ago, drew about 250 people, including a stalwart group of counter-demonstrators who periodically let loose their own shouted protests from across the street. It came a day after Pritzker put four of Illinois 102 counties on ‘warning level’ status for dangerously increased numbers of COVID-19, which officials traced to ‘risky behavior’ such as large gatherings and out-of-state travel. Saturday, officials announced 1,426 newly confirmed cases of the illness, with 12 new deaths. COVID-19, the illness caused by the coronavirus, has now contributed to 7,397 deaths among 169,883 cases, although many of those infected have recovered.)

It seems ever-increasingly clear that Democrats are being told that Republicans are rapidly dying off and that Democrats will soon control all the units of government in DuPage County. Further, it seems ever-increasingly clear that Democrats are being told that those who are older, conservative, Protestant, German American, heterosexual, married, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time are also rapidly dying off. Further, it seems ever-increasingly clear that Democrats are being told about the ever-increasing number of votes that Democrat candidates get in the aforesaid political jurisdictions. Further, it seems ever-increasingly clear that those who are minority, female, younger, and/or non-poor AND who are religious, conservative, and/or Republican are being steered away from the aforesaid political jurisdictions. The aforesaid is political affiliation discrimination.)

— Reparations Subcommittee Decides on Three Housing Programs, $25,000 for Each – Larry Gavin
https://evanstonroundtable.com/Content/City-News/City-News/Article/Reparations-Subcommittee-Decides-on-Three-Housing-Programs-25-000-for-Each-/15/26/18318
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Eligibility of Applicants Under the housing remedy proposal, people seeking to participate in one of the three housing programs must meet one of the following two criteria: First, “Be a Black resident and suffered discrimination in housing as a result of City ordinance, policy or practice;” OR Second, “is a direct descendent of a Black Evanston resident who resided in Evanston between 1919 to 1969 who suffered discrimination in housing as a result of City ordinance, policy or practice.” (Sometimes called the “legacy” provision). These criteria have not change since they were last discussed by the Subcommittee. Ald. Simmons said, “I think that is an area that we are going to have to rely heavily on our law staff.” Nick Cummings, Deputy City Attorney, said applicants must demonstrate that they meet one of the two criteria. He said if an applicant was seeking to qualify under the legacy provision, there were a lot of historical documents, recorded deeds, census data and other records available. In addition, Dino Robinson, the founder of Shorefront, and Dr. Jenny Thompson, Director of Education at the Evanston History Center, are putting together a report providing information about historic policies and practices, both governmental and societal, that discriminated against Black people in Evanston. Whether an applicant could rely on this report to prove a legacy claim is not yet clear. Mr. Cummings added that if a person was claiming they personally suffered discrimination at the hands of the City, “that is certainly something else entirely different and may require or may necessitate the assistance of an attorney,” Mr. Cummings said, “but I can’t say that for certain.” The Subcommittee has not yet considered who would decide if an applicant satisfied one of the two criteria. Mr. Cummings said, “It certainly is the understanding, you don’t expect it to be City staff to make those decisions solely.” He suggested that the determination might be made by the proposed Stakeholders Reparations Authority.)

https://www.nbcchicago.com/top-videos-home/watch-as-christopher-columbus-statues-were-taken-down-in-chicago/2310813/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Still, some Italian-Americans in Chicago said they did not support the move. “Columbus is a symbol of hope who we’ve celebrated for years and maybe we all forgot why we celebrated Christopher Columbus,” Sergio Giangrande, president of the Joint Civic Committee of Italian American said. “To take someone who’s a symbol of hope for us? We are not OK with that.” Giangrande added, however, that the group understands the safety concerns but hoped for a compromise. “I can guarantee you that Italian Americans are not happy about this,” he said. Mayor Lori Lightfoot said Monday that she would announce a process in which the city will take inventory of the various monuments, paintings “and other things that memorialize” Chicago’s past and history. “In time, our team will determine there are no monuments to African Americans in this city,” Lightfoot said. “There are no monuments to women. There are no monuments that reflect the contributions of people in the city of Chicago who contributed to the greatness of this city.”)

https://patch.com/illinois/wheaton/calendar/event/20200714/856167/the-majoritys-retirement-party-a-protest-march-and-rally
(FROM THE PROMOTION: This event will celebrate the retirement of the majority rule over the second-largest county in the state, which we predict will happen after the county election this November. We hope to educate participants about and demand the removal of Peter DiCianni, a member of the DuPage County board who has shown disrespect towards his constituents and the black community as well as endangered their health, as detailed by Hinsdale for BLM here and by multiple news outlets (Patch, MySuburbanLife.com). We also are pushing for 22 state policy initiatives that could be done in the next Illinois legislative session that would help stop the killing of BIPOC when they are signed into law. We will aim to raise awareness about things like the Census, Mail-in Voting, and the Illinois Fair Tax proposal. This event includes speakers (local candidates, youth activists and organizers, and educators), a COVID-19 testing car caravan, voter registration, public commenters sent to the DuPage County board meeting, a march, music, and a celebration to mark the upcoming retirement of the Republican majority in the board, which we predict will happen by the end of this year.)
