CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— DuPage committee kills effort to revoke video gaming ban – Gary Gibula  (DIERSEN: OUTSTANDING! At the DuPage County Finance Committee meeting Tuesday morning, June 13, 2017, no motion was made to recommend lifting the county’s ban on video gambling in unincorporated areas. During the public comment period, those who spoke in favor of keeping the ban included Bill Bryan, Kathy Gilroy, Heidi Holan, Luke Holan, and me. During county employee Chad Shaffer’s presentation concerning video gambling, county board members asked many questions and expressed their views concerning the issue. Many thanks to those county board members who would have voted against recommending lifting the ban if a motion had been made. Attendees at the meeting included Paula McGowen and John Zaruba.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Advocates of keeping the video gaming ban contend the negative effects of gambling outweigh any benefits. “We should be thinking of marriages and families broken up by gambling, how many jobs have been lost,” Bill Bryan, of Naperville, said. “Those factors should be weighed into the equation.” Heidi Holan, of Glen Ellyn, compared gambling to a “get rich quick” scheme. “How many of you warn your children about that?” she asked. “Is that the type of moral value you want?” “It has a trickle-down effect to family members,” said Luke Cohen, of Glen Ellyn. “I’m only 18, so I can’t gamble and I can’t drink, but I still understand the effect of gambling. This ban needs to stay in place.” . . . Cronin commented on the issue following Tuesday’s County Board meeting. “We owed it to the community and the business owners who are experiencing some adversity to come on in and make their case,” Cronin said. “I have some empathy for those folks, but I think there’s a larger issue here about who we are as a county. The committee spoke, there was due process and the people had their day.”  The issue of repealing the video gaming ban still could be revisited in the future if a committee member chooses to bring it up again, officials said.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: But after listening to people on both sides of the debate, board members ended their finance committee meeting without making a recommendation to the full county board. In fact, none of the 18 board members attending the meeting supported a motion to consider repealing the ordinance. “So there’s no interest in even discussing the issue,” said county board member Paul Fichtner, who serves as chairman of the board’s finance committee. “The issue is dead and nobody, obviously, is in favor of it.” . . . A few board members said there were questions that weren’t answered during Tuesday’s review, but no one expressed a desire to bring the issue back in two weeks. “It couldn’t even get a motion,” board member Tim Elliott said. “So I think that in fairness to board members that have questions, (staff) can get back, write a memo and do whatever. “But as far as I’m concerned, this is dead,” he said.)

My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes use that to paint me as though I have always been undeservedly filthy rich.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Marc Lifshin doesn’t mince words when asked about his living situation as an undergrad at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He paid about $175 a month in rent to live in a decrepit six-bedroom house with eight friends. “I lived in an absolute shithole,” says Lifshin, an engineering student who graduated in 2001. “I think it was torn down a couple years after I graduated.” Today, Lifshin, 39, operates at the other end of the student housing market, renting out high-end buildings to college students willing to pay up for indulgent amenities. While Lifshin the college student was content just to have a big backyard and front porch, his company, Core Spaces, develops buildings with golf simulators, spas with plunge pools and tanning beds, and in-room hot tubs. A Core Spaces project in Madison, Wis., includes a band room and ice rink in the winter.)

The median income for a middle-class household in Italy is $35,608. It’s $44,000 in France and $46,000 in Denmark.But in the United States it’s $60,084.)

DAILY HERALD
— DuPage video gambling discussion set for Tuesday – Robert Sanchez  (DIERSEN:  OUTRAGEOUS: GAMBLING IS A VICE: DuPage County Finance Committee will revisit the county’s ban on video gaming in unincorporated areas. Please join Kathy Gilroy, me, and others who will speak at the DuPage County Finance Committee meeting Tuesday, June 13, 2017, at 7:30 AM, in favor of keeping the ban on video gambling in unincorporated DuPage County.  Based on the minutes of the May 23, 2017 DuPage County Board meeting, a motion will be made at this meeting to refer the matter to another committee. If you are in DuPage County, please urge DuPage County Board Chairman Dan Cronin, the 18 DuPage County Board members, and especially, the 3 board members who represent your district, to vote to keep the ban. Needless-to-say, before any vote is taken to lift the ban, public hearings should be held in each of the county’s six districts. In 2009, the Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC) unanimously passed a resolution against video gambling throughout DuPage County. Since then, no MTRCC member has done anything to rescind that resolution.)
http://www.dailyherald.com/news/20170610/dupage-video-gambling-discussion-set-for-tuesday
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Tuesday’s discussion is scheduled for a 7:30 a.m. finance committee meeting at the DuPage County administration building, 421 N. County Farm Road in Wheaton. Depending on how the meeting goes, the panel could vote that morning to make a recommendation to the full county board. “It’s important that we make a decision either way,” Fichtner said. “There needs to be an understanding of how much we either support or don’t support the current ban.” . . . Kathy Gilroy, an anti-gambling advocate from Villa Park, said lifting the ban would harm residents without providing a significant benefit to the county. . . “It provides income for the owner of the machine and the location,” Gilroy said. “It’s not a big help to the county.”  Gilroy plans to attend Tuesday’s meeting to speak to the county board members. “I’m not surprised that they’re discussing it again,” she said. “I’ll be surprised if they overturn their ban.”  If the finance committee recommends repealing the ban, the full county board would take a final vote on a later date.)

Needless-to-say, before any vote is taken to lift the ban, public hearings should be held in each of the county’s six districts. In 2009, the Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC) unanimously passed a resolution against video gambling throughout DuPage County. Since then, no MTRCC member has done anything to rescind that resolution. – Dave Diersen

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/09/us/politics/trump-comey-leak.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The word “leak” has no official legal definition. But the term usually refers to the act of providing confidential information to the public in a surreptitious way and without official authorization. That is a neutral description, but Mr. Trump on Friday used the term in a way that was clearly intended to carry pejorative connotations: “He’s a leaker,” Mr. Trump said of Mr. Comey at a news conference.)

The United States Office of Special Counsel took no official action to punish Mr. Scavino, but it issued a warning that became public on Friday that “if in the future he engages in prohibited political activity while employed in a position covered by the Hatch Act,” it could move to enforce the 78-year-old law.)

Many, if not most, if not virtually all for my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I should have been forced to suffer a $57,808 (64%) pay cut in today’s dollars, that is, a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5, currently $90,173, to GS-4 Step 1, currently $32,365.  They demonized, denigrated, and condemned  a)  my IRS work experience and that much of it was similar to what GAO employees do, b) my having passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c)  my almost completing the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul, d) my having earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, e) etc.  They never would have done that if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, or a veteran.)

DAILY HERALD
— A look at where some of those protesting, commune-living ‘hippies’ are today – Jean Murphy  (DIERSEN: What were you doing in 1967?  I was a full-time student at UIC and a part-time mailman for the Park Forest Post Office. I lived with my parents and brother in Crete. I sold my 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint and bought a 1968 Oldsmobile 442. I saved money for college expenses.)
http://www.dailyherald.com/entlife/20170603/a-look-at-where-some-of-those-protesting-commune-living-hippies-are-today
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Nostalgia reigns supreme this summer as we approach a series of 50th anniversaries of pivotal moments in our history. This summer San Francisco is commemorating the Summer of Love when the hippies arrived in the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood in 1967. Closer to home the latest version of the Grateful Dead, known as Dead & Company, has concerts scheduled at Wrigley Field on June 30 and July 1, and Navy Pier is hosting “Exhibitionism,” an exhibit of Rolling Stones memorabilia, through July 30. Next year and the years that follow will surely generate remembrances of such major events as the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Chicago’s 1968 Democratic National Convention, Woodstock and the shootings at Kent State, to name a few. So what has happened to all of the people who were activists and hippies in those days? How have they lived their lives since those tumultuous years?)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Two local state senators — Sue Rezin, R-Morris, and Jason Barickman, R-Bloomington — voted against the measure. But in the House, state Reps. Jerry Long, R-Streator, David Welter, R-Morris, and Tom Demmer, R-Dixon, supported the legislation. Only five other Senators joined Barickman and Rezin in voting no — Republicans Chapin Rose, Neil Anderson, Michael Connelly, Dale Fowler and Chris Nybo also opposed. HB 607 cleared the Senate 43-7-1, and the House vote was 75-34-3, so it’s fair to say there was bipartisan support. But still, as our readership area is represented almost entirely by Republicans, it’s interesting to note when the votes diverge.)
