GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— UPDATE: The proposed Starbucks at the southeast corner of Roosevelt Road and Warrenville Road in my Wheaton precinct is off. I spoke with the property’s owner Ron Dell this afternoon. He said he was going to attend the Wheaton City Counsel Planning Session yesterday evening, but a major delay at O’Hare Airport prevented him from doing that. He said that Starbucks withdrew its proposal 2 weeks ago. Also, Wheaton has posted a video of the session at: https://www.wheaton.il.us/AgendaCenter – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
(MY ARTICLE THIS MORNING: About 120 Wheaton residents attended a 2 1/2 hour Wheaton City Council Planning Session Tuesday evening, May 28, 2019. 28 of those 120 voiced their concerns about Wheaton’s East Roosevelt Road Corridor Market Study/Comprehensive Plan Amendment. 13 of those 28 are registered voters in my precinct. Most of the comments concerned the impact that proposed changes would have on homeowners immediately south and north of Roosevelt Road, traffic congestion, affordable housing, public housing, the proposed Starbucks at the southeast corner of Roosevelt Road and Warrenville Road, flooding, the school crossing at Warrenville Road and Park Avenue, protecting historic buildings on Roosevelt Road, and Wheaton not individually notifying homeowners immediately north and south of Roosevelt Road of the session. My precinct includes the south side of Roosevelt Road between Carlton and Main Streets. For more information on the market study and plan amendment, SEE: https://www.wheaton.il.us/AgendaCenter/ViewFile/Agenda/_05282019-1184. I included a link to the notice of the session in my May 26, 2019 GOPUSA ILLINOIS evening edition email (https://gopillinois.com/uncategorized/may-26-evening-edition-3/). I included link to an online petition against the market study and plan amendment (https://www.thepetitionsite.com/981/324/570/stop-the-roosevelt-road-corridor-redevelopment-plan/) in my May 23, 2019 GOPUSA ILLINOIS evening edition email (https://gopillinois.com/uncategorized/may-23-evening-edition-3/). I included my comment that “A Starbucks is planned for the southeast corner of Roosevelt Road and Warrenville Road in my precinct” in my March 10, 2019 GOPUSA ILLINOIS morning edition email (https://gopillinois.com/uncategorized/march-10-morning-edition-4/). Sadly, many of those in my precinct who oppose the market study and plan amendment automatically assume that I completely support the market study and plan amendment a) because I am a conservative Republican Precinct Committeeman who supports Trump and b) because Ron Dell, the owner of the property at the southeast corner of Roosevelt and Warrenville, has allowed me to display 4X4 “Vote Republican’ signs on his building prior to elections for many years. Consequently, many of those in my precinct who oppose the market study and plan amendment have kept me “out of the loop” to put it politely. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always discouraged voters in my precinct from reading my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails. I look forward to reading the minutes of the session and watching the video of the session when they are posted on the city’s website.)

https://medium.com/trusting-news/whats-your-why-share-it-with-your-audience-to-sustain-your-future-a070669f317
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Why do we do it? Why do we work in a highly unstable career with no job security? Why do we cover stories so unimaginably terrible that sometimes all that’s left for us to do at the end of the day is cry? Why do we endure a high-pressure, fast-paced environment with little pay while at the same time dealing with a constant barrage of criticism from those we are trying to serve? (You’ve unfortunately probably heard some of this before: you’re a liberal rag; you’re in Politician X’s pocket; have you EVER even HEARD of a copy editor?) We do it because we care. We do it because our passion for our communities runs deep in our veins. We do it because we feel a responsibility to tell our neighbors’ stories, keep our cities safe and hold our governments accountable. We do it because we can’t imagine doing anything else. Historically, we haven’t been very good at telling the story of our why. But it’s one that is key to sustaining local journalism for years to come. As the news industry continues to face more layoffs, I’ve heard my colleagues ask, “So what can we do? How can we help ensure the future of our news organization?”)

— OUTSTANDING: Buffalo Grove formally opposes legalization of recreational marijuana – Steve Zalusky (DIERSEN: Needless-to-say, each and every municipality, township/ward, and county in Illinois should pass such a resolution ASAP.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190521/buffalo-grove-formally-opposes-legalization-of-recreational-marijuana
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Buffalo Grove has waded into the statewide debate over legalizing recreational marijuana, as a divided village board narrowly passed a resolution against it Monday. Village President Beverly Sussman broke a 3-3 deadlock to pass the resolution, which is modeled after a similar measure approved by Vernon Hills trustees. It urges lawmakers to slow down the process to provide more time to consider the impact on society and examine data from other states that have passed similar legislation.)

My mother never attended high school. I bought my first car, a 1958 Chevy BelAir, as soon as turned 16 in 1964.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Research isn’t cheap and it’s not easy,” said Di Resta, president and CEO of The Maccabee Group. “You don’t do that if you don’t believe someone is a real contender.” Di Resta, who teaches a course on opposition research at George Washington University, said “oppo research” isn’t new but has become more “institutionalized.” “This is standard operating procedure now when either the mayor or a city commissioner decides to run for office,” he said. “It’s pretty standard to see these Freedom of Information Act requests going out.” Di Resta noted congressional communications are not subject to FOIA, “so the big-name senators won’t undergo the same level of scrutiny when it comes to FOIAs as the mayor, which is an interesting angle because here’s a guy who’s supposedly not experienced enough or whatever, but all his communications are eligible to be reviewed by opponents.” None of the records requestors would comment for this story when contacted by The Tribune.)
