CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— While the nation debates voting rights, turnout in suburban Chicago municipal elections is ‘frankly disappointing’ – CLARE PROCTOR
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/breaking/ct-election-municipal-low-turnout-20210407-ecvcvo77nbap7nxzox3glwxkyq-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: At the county level, voter turnout mostly hovered in the low to midteens, typical for many counties in consolidated elections. On the lower end, McHenry County reported a voter turnout of 9.5%, and Kankakee County topped voter turnouts across the counties at 18.6%. The pandemic didn’t have a significant effect on voter turnout, according to county clerks’ offices, with sufficient alternative options for people to vote early or by mail instead of in person. In Cook, DuPage and Lake counties, turnout was 14.7%, 15.6% and 13.7%, respectively. In Will County, southwest of Chicago, 15.8% of voters cast a ballot Tuesday. That’s nearly 3 percentage points higher than the previous consolidated election in 2019, which had a voter turnout of 13.2%, said Charles Pelkie, chief of staff for the Will County clerk’s office.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Signing on as co-sponsors of the event, according to a list obtained by Crain’s, are such top Republican fundraisers as former Trump administration Ambassador to Belgium Ron Gidwitz, financier Muneer Satter and industrialist Craig Duchossois. Also on the invite list are former corporate execs such as John Rowe and John Canning. . .The Kinzinger camp isn’t yet saying how much they expect the event will raise for his congressional campaign fund. But with tickets going for $250 to $4,600, and with well over 100 names on the sponsors list, you can expect a number into the six figures.)

— House GOP Memo Argues For Embrace Of Trump Coalition Some Republicans Find ‘Distasteful’ – Andrew Solender and Jack Brewster
https://www.forbes.com/sites/andrewsolender/2021/03/31/house-gop-memo-argues-for-embrace-of-trump-coalition-some-republicans-find-distasteful/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It is unclear who is in the “embittered and loud minority” Banks describes, but several Republican lawmakers have expressed displeasure about the direction the GOP has gone under Trump, particularly the rise of the QAnon conspiracy movement. Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump, has launched a super PAC to challenge pro-Trump lawmakers and morph the GOP from a “Trump-first party” to a “country-first party.”)

CAPITOL FAX
— Kinzinger’s “show of political strength” knocked by Democrats
https://capitolfax.com/2021/03/22/kinzingers-show-of-political-strength-knocked-by-democrats/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: From Kristina Zahorik, President of the Illinois Democratic County Chairs’ Association…“Let us not forget that Adam Kinzinger is a tried and true Republican who voted with Donald Trump more than 90% of the time and repeatedly voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act. And now, Adam Kinzinger is teaming up with Karl Rove, one of the architects of the war in Iraq, who helped elect George W. Bush — someone who, after Trump, is one of the worst Presidents in modern history — and to this day still defends the Bush administration’s use of torture.” “Adam Kinzinger is attempting to rebrand his image so people will forget how extreme his voting record is. But even while Adam Kinzinger is now throwing Donald Trump under the bus, he continues to align him himself with some of the worst members of his party. We can acknowledge Kinzinger for standing up and impeaching Trump, but we can’t forget who he has always been — an extreme Republican.” Karl Rove has a history of incorrigible behavior and practices, including just last year his use of racially loaded language when he attacked President Obama for speaking at a historically black college and, in Rove’s words, committing a “political drive-by shooting.”)

That directly resulted in my accepting a job offer from IRS.)

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/03/08/new-wedge-states-rush-block-transgender-athletes/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The US Department of Education suspended a decision that found racial “affinity groups” discriminated against students and staff, The Post has learned. The goal of the programs — used by the New York City public school system and other school districts — is to separate students and staff by racial groups in order to help address discrimination and “white privilege.” But the practice of separating schools into racial groups is discriminatory, a determination obtained by the Post found. The findings — reached during the waning days of former President Trump’s time in office in early January — were in response to a complaint about a Chicago-area school district’s “racial equity” training programs and lesson plans.)

https://news.wttw.com/2021/02/17/41-problematic-monuments-flagged-city-commission-identified
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The commission’s website does not identify why each of the monuments were flagged, although for some the reason is clear, including all of the city’s three Columbus statues. Among the statues flagged by the commission are statues of four presidents: George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant and William McKinley. Five statues of Lincoln were flagged by the commission, although the commission’s website does not identify areas of concern for any of them — or any of the other presidential statues. Two statues of Washington were flagged.)
