FROM ILLINOIS CENTER-LEFT LEANING SOURCES

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Democrats close roadways in central business district ahead of Mexican Independence Day.

— Democrats say “UAW strike bypasses Illinois plants for now, but state’s auto industry has a lot riding on negotiations.” I have owned only American nameplate cars since I bought my first one in 1964. I currently own eight. I was a union member 1966-1969 while I worked for the Post Office and 1971-1980 while I worked for IRS. In early 1970, I was a UAW member while I worked part-time for Chrysler in its Belvidere plant and was a full-time NIU student. My critics/opponents have always disapprove of/hated unions and American nameplate cars. Since 1966, they have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I have always been overpaid because I was a union member. In today’s dollars, while I was a union member, my salary increased from $18.05/hour to $104,583/year. In my defense, I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980.

— Democrats say “Parents worry as day care centers face funding crisis.” My father made enough money that my mother, who never attended high school, could stay home and raise me and my brother. My critics/opponents have always used that to demonize, denigrate, and condemn me and my parents as having been undeservedly filthy rich. In my father’s defense, he never made more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. In my defense, because of that, to buy cars and to pay for college expenses, I did yard work 1962-1964, delivered newspapers 1962-1966, washed dishes 1964-1966, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966, and delivered mail 1966-1969.

— Democrats say “Best Places to Work in Chicago for 2023.” Democrats run the federal government. Therefore, of course, the federal government is a best place to work for Democrats, and especially for Democrats who are LGBTQ, minority, female, younger, veteran, disabled, unmarried, non-Christian, non-Protestant, non-Italian American, non-German American, and/or those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time. The federal government gives tremendous preference to its employees who are the aforesaid.

Because Mexico and its allies work hand-in-hand with treasonous Democrats and treasonous RINOs and have not yet officially declared war on America, their invasion of America is ever-increasingly successful.

SPRINGFIELD STATE JOURNAL REGISTER
— COMMENT: Democrats say “From repealing the weapons ban to no smoking here are five new bills lawmakers introduced.” Ever-increasingly, Illinois Democrats dominate Illinois and call those in Illinois who they cannot dominate “failed.”
https://www.sj-r.com/story/news/politics/state/2023/02/05/here-are-five-new-bills-proposed-in-the-illinois-general-assembly/69859918007/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Weapons ban: House Bill 1564 Legal challenges to Illinois’ ban on the sale and purchase of assault-style weapons have mounted in recent weeks at the state and federal levels. The efforts have been led by Republicans, including three lawsuits from failed Attorney General candidate Thomas DeVore. Earlier this week, a split appellate court upheld a decision by an Effingham County judge to issue a temporary restraining order in favor of DeVore and the 886 plaintiffs he was representing. Through House Bill 1564, Republicans seek to repeal several provisions of the Protect Illinois Communities Act — signed into law as Public Act 102-1116 by Pritzker during the lame-duck session. Specifically, the bill from state Rep. Dave Severin, R-Benton, would remove the act’s language that prevents an individual’s ability to “knowingly possess an assault weapon, assault weapon attachment, .50 caliber rifle, or .50 caliber cartridge,” as of Jan. 1, 2024. It would also return the firearm restraining order to six months instead of the current one-year order created by PICA. Severin is joined by nine other GOP co-sponsors in opposition to the ban passed under House Bill 5471. “The people that I represent, and indeed the people of our entire region believe the firearms ban that Governor Pritzker signed is a direct attack on Second Amendment rights, and I agree,” Severin said in a statement. “I am a pro-2nd Amendment legislator and always have been. I filed this bill because I believe firmly that the firearms ban is unconstitutional and it should be repealed immediately.”

— DuPage County Divided Over Drawing of County Election Precinct Maps
(COMMENT: Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs redraw precincts to get rid of Republican Precinct Committeemen like me. For the second time now, Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs have drawn me in to the same DuPage County Milton Precinct 9 in Wheaton with Jeanne Ives.)
https://www.nctv17.com/news/top-stories/dupage-county-divided-over-drawing-of-county-election-precinct-maps/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: DuPage County voters could find they are grouped into fewer, larger precincts come the next election. Why Now? A new piece of legislation signed into law in November 2021 and discussed Tuesday at the county finance committee meeting reduces the number of DuPage County election precincts from 930 to 607. The current draft of the redrawn maps leaves fewer committeemen to serve as the voice of the voters, thereby impacting whether a party may be elected. What’s At Issue? Board member Amy Chavez said some precinct committee members and township officials have reached out to her, asking for changes to the proposed election precinct maps. “I think there is a lot of concern over these new lines,” Chavez said. Board member Sam Tornatore said something has to give. “It’s essentially a political attempt to change boundaries within precincts,” Tornatore said. The new state legislation comes on the heels of the county board agreeing on a new DuPage County redistricting map in a bipartisan effort in October 2021. Deputy County Clerk Adam Johnson said he stands by the election precinct maps put together by county clerk’s office staff. “It’s unavoidable that there’s going to be some people who are not happy with the way the maps turn out,” Johnson said. “Certainly, we’re open to constructive criticism on how that process could have been better massaged.” Board member Jim Zay said he would not support the precinct maps as proposed given the lack of time allotted for input. “We have a job to do,” Zay said. “This is not putting us in the best position to do our job.” Johnson tried to address concerns about the county clerk’s office getting input on the precinct maps. “While there hasn’t been a lot of time for as many outside parties to review the maps, from the feedback I have received, I haven’t heard much in the way of actual substantive complaints of how the maps were drawn in terms of meeting the state legislature’s requirements,” Johnson said. Tornatore said he doesn’t want to place blame on the county clerk’s office, but he believes taxpayer money may have been wasted. “I don’t know that the election division contemplated this legislation coming from Springfield,” Tornatore said. “I know it’s been kind of on the back burner. … Perhaps we should have taken it into consideration before we ordered as many printers as we did. But I’m going to presume that we have a printer for every precinct that if we now have 300-plus fewer precincts, we either should get a rebate for the money we spent or we’re going to have a lot of printers being stored that aren’t being used.” The county board authorized the purchase of new voting equipment valued at roughly $7.2 million in October 2021. That contract as awarded includes funding to pay for printers, among other things. The county has been in the process of matching polling places with election precincts to determine which ones will be combined into a single location. Officials anticipate a reduction in the number of polling places, but they believe the amount of new printers purchased will remain appropriate for the layout of available voting locations. Moving Forward. County board members acknowledge they don’t have a lot of time to spare. The election precinct maps need to be adopted no later than Friday. A special county board meeting on this topic is scheduled for Friday at 8 a.m.)
