(FROM THE ARTICLE: Ageism is apparent in the workforce and the hiring process. Legislators are combating age discrimination, including a recent proposal called the Protecting Older Workers Against Discrimination Act, and companies are under fire for certain hiring practices, such as targeting younger applicants through social media. Older workers are stereotyped as lacking a strong work ethic, counting down the days to retirement and a disinterest in learning new skills to stay competitive in the workforce, and they also struggle with negative comments about their age from colleagues or are overlooked for promotions.)DAILY BEAST

https://codcourier.org/11299/opinion/americas-fake-news-epidemic-we-need-credible-news-sources/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In
the era of the Internet, fake news is easily spread. It is because of today’s
technology that we as consumers of media have the responsibility to seek out
the most accurate, unbiased sources of news. Sources like Buzzfeed and Fox News
are simply too biased to take for accurate news. These news outlets may be OK
for a quick glance at what is happening in the world, but they shouldn’t be our
go-to sources. I urge readers to make sure you are gathering information from
reputable sources. I recommend The Associated Press, BBC and Reuters for world
news, and the Daily Herald for local news. These media outlets tend to meet
high journalistic standards while putting out minimal partisan bias in their
stories. If we continue to allow ourselves to confuse biased, fake news for
factual news, we risk the autonomy to make decisions based on our own morals.
We cannot allow ourselves to be lied to by the fake news spread hazardously
across the internet.)

— Naperville City Councilman Kevin Coyne criticizes DuPage GOP, announces run
for county board – Erin Hegarty
https://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/naperville-sun/news/ct-nvs-naperville-council-coyne-dupage-county-board-st-0405-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE:
Naperville City Councilman Kevin Coyne used a Facebook post early Wednesday to
blast the DuPage County Republican Party and announce his bid to run for the
DuPage County Board in District 5. Posting after Tuesday’s election votes had
been counted, Naperville City Councilman Kevin Coyne wrote the DuPage County
Republican organization did not do enough to get GOP candidates elected and
said his county board candidacy should be seen as an effort to “stand up for
conservative principals.” “I would say I think the Republican party right now
is really struggling locally, and I hope to add a new voice for GOP voters,”
Coyne said in a phone interview Wednesday. “I hope to be able to offer that
voice on the DuPage County Board.” Coyne said he plans to run in the 2020
county election, pursuing the seat currently held by James Healy, a Naperville
resident who has been on the county board since 1996. Seats held by District 5
board members Sadia Covert and Dawn DeSart are not up for election until 2022.
In his post on his Naperville City Councilman Facebook page, Coyne said the
DuPage GOP had “another embarrassing showing” in the most recent election
cycle. “While the DuPage Democrats’ local leadership organize candidate forums,
canvassing drives and social media initiatives throughout DuPage County, our
DuPage GOP does what it usually does … nothing,” Coyne wrote. “Our once great
DuPage GOP organization has become a shell of its former self. “The DuPage GOP
has successfully handed both our County and the City of Naperville over to the
Illinois’ Democratic Party. I am unwilling to let this stand!” Coyne repeated
the criticism Wednesday. “The party around here was in power for a very long
time and I don’t think ever adapted to the way in which politics has changed.
The results for GOP folks have been very damaging.” Coyne said he made the post
on his official Naperville City Council page because he thought it important to
let people who follow local politics know of his plans to run for the county
board. The post had drawn more than 50 comments as of Wednesday morning, many
criticizing Coyne for talking about partisan politics when the council is
elected as a nonpartisan body. “I will present a platform focused on reducing
the size of government, reducing real estate tax levies and protecting LIFE …
both as a supporter of pro-life initiatives and as a supporter of our
constitutional right to bear arms,” Coyne wrote in the Facebook post. “I look
forward to keeping my supporters abreast of my platform and to fighting for
pro-life and small government reforms in DuPage County,” the post said. “We are
better than what we have shown in recent elections. Republican voters in DuPage
County need someone that will stand up for conservative principals! I ask
conservative voters in DuPage County’s District 5 to give me the chance to be
their voice. Much more to come….”)

— Naperville councilman Kevin Coyne bashes DuPage GOP, announces county board
candidacy – Justin Kmitch
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190403/naperville-councilman-bashes-dupage-gop-announces-county-board-candidacy
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A
Naperville City Council member, unhappy with what he called a lack of
aggression from the DuPage County Republican Organization in recent elections,
took to Facebook early Wednesday to slam the party and announce his candidacy
for DuPage County Board. Kevin Coyne, a business attorney who has served on the
council since 2015, posted on his city council Facebook page that he’s tired of
seeing local Democrats lead candidate forums and social media initiatives while
Republicans stand on the sidelines. “Our once great DuPage GOP
organization has become a shell of its former self,” Coyne wrote around 2
a.m. “It does nothing to support local or State R candidates.” Coyne
said he will offer a new voice and perspective to Republican voters next
November when he runs for the DuPage County Board District 5 seat currently
held by attorney James Healy of Naperville. Healy did not return a call seeking
comment Wednesday. Several of Coyne’s followers were quick to criticize him for
discussing partisan politics while he sits on the historically nonpartisan city
council. Others praised him for taking a stand. Reached Wednesday, Coyne
doubled down on his social media comments. “I think the Republican Party
around here was in place and successful for so long that I just don’t think
they ever had to adapt to the new times with social media,” Coyne said.
“I just think the general manner in which they have been running things is
outdated. They’re not aggressive enough. There’s no outreach and there’s very
few social media posts. We need new energy and life in the party.” DuPage
Republican Chairman Brian Krajewski did not return calls Wednesday.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE:
Meanwhile in Wheaton, Phil Suess defeated another city councilman to become the
city’s first new mayor in 12 years. He will succeed Michael Gresk, who did not
seek re-election. Suess made city taxes a signature campaign issue. In each of
the past four years, he’s voted against raising property taxes “at a time
when the city has consistently underspent its budget, has generated higher than
expected surpluses and has maintained reserves in excess of stated
targets.” On Wednesday, Suess said he believes his record helped him win
the election. “I have been on the council for 14 years,” he said.
“I have been very consistent in my positions over that period of time. I
think our ability to win this election was a reaffirmation of the things we’ve
been doing.”)

questions about taxes, consolidation – Robert Sanchez
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190330/dupage-ballots-to-include-questions-about-taxes-consolidation
(FROM THE ARTICLE:
Naperville Township Voters in Naperville Township will decide whether a
previously approved plan to consolidate a road district should be scrapped in
favor of another proposal to dissolve the small unit of government. Residents
in Naperville and Lisle townships in 2017 approved a measure to combine their
road districts to form one agency. The consolidation is scheduled to take
effect May 2021. But Naperville Township officials put a new question on the
ballot that asks voters if they want to follow a state law that allows the
township government to absorb the road district. Naperville Township officials
say they believe the outcome of Tuesday’s vote would supersede the decision
from two years ago. But they don’t know for certain that the idea of absorbing
the road district into the township legally can replace the previously approved
— and now required — merger.)

superiors used Affirmative Action, Diversity, Inclusion, up-or-out, and
Republican-led budget cuts a) to hire, retain, and promote young Democrat
minorities and young Democrat females and b) to make way for them by getting
rid of their employees like me who were Republican, male, older, and/or

workplace can be described this way: It’s an organization that is successful
because its employees enjoy their work, embrace their mission and feel like
valued teammates. Compensation and perks are factors, but the more important
components include opportunities for professional growth and being treated with
respect. To qualify, a workplace must have at least 100 employees in the
Chicago area. Nominations are open to all employers, including nonprofits.
Nominated companies that agree to participate will distribute to employees
between April and July an easy-to-complete, confidential survey developed by
the Tribune’s research partner, Energage, which will calculate the list of top
workplaces.)

https://www.nwherald.com/2019/03/29/no-end-in-sight-algonquin-township-officials-predict-lawsuits-will-brew-for-years/ajnv1si/

HERALD & REVIEW
— MARCH 1, 2019 FLASHBACK: Smaller governmental units cost less – Bryan Smith,
Decatur
https://herald-review.com/opinion/letters/letter-smaller-governmental-units-cost-less/article_0056cd63-4272-5108-9df8-226415c421a3.html
(FROM THE LETTER: I am
responding to the Herald & Review’s piece (“Time to address reducing
some governing layers,” Feb. 24) in which it’s stated that Illinois’ taxes
are high because there are too many forms of government. As the executive
director of the Township Officials of Illinois, I’d like to share some
important data from the Illinois Comptroller’s office that clearly dispels
those claims. Indeed, state reporting shows that smaller units of local
government in Illinois cost taxpayers less than larger units of government.
This can be seen among municipalities where taxes per resident tend to be
higher where governments are larger. There has been an aggressive push to
eliminate township government in Illinois, often based on information that is
simply not true. Townships, which are generally smaller, have had the lowest
tax increase rates in recent decades among the various types of government in
the state. Further, township labor costs per employee are also the lowest of
any government type. Local democracy is stronger where local governments are
smaller. If townships were to be eliminated and forced into consolidating with
units of government with higher cost structures, taxes, spending and debt are
likely to increase. Just as bad, it would make local governments less
responsive to constituents. This is no way to reduce taxes.)
