— Legislature’s fall veto session canceled in Springfield – PETER HANCOCK
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20201111/legislatures-fall-veto-session-canceled-in-springfield
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “We were able to meet safely in May in an environment that included testing, mask mandates, regular use of hand sanitizer, and more than ample room to practice social distancing,” Rep. Amy Grant, a Wheaton Republican, said in a statement. “No one from the House, Senate or staff contracted COVID-19 during our session in May, so we know staff is capable of putting adequate safety precautions in place. Congress is meeting and there’s no reason why we shouldn’t be.” “I can’t help but wonder if the cancellation has more to do with political unrest within the House Democratic caucus than it has to do with health and safety,” Rep. Steve Reick, a Woodstock Republican, said in a separate statement. “I certainly hope that’s not the case, because it would be a great injustice if Speaker Madigan has placed his political problems ahead of our ability to do the people’s work during a scheduled veto session.”)

https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/dupage-county-election-judge-fired-after-allegedly-stealing-political-signs/2361977/
(FROM THE DUPAGE COUNTY REPUBLICAN CENTRAL COMMITTEE: Democrat Election Judge Beverly Johnston was arrested yesterday for stealing campaign signs erected by District 2 County Board Member Republican nominee Sean Noonan. Villa Park police arrested Johnston, who was found to be in possession of campaign signs of other Republican candidates at the time, as she was in the process of removing Noonan’s 16 square foot sign that was securely anchored in front of Midland Plumbing & Sewer 187 E. North Avenue in the Village of Villa Park. “As a police officer and current county board member who makes a point of campaigning fairly and honestly, this type of illegal behavior is shocking coming from a Judge, even if she is only a limited authority election Judge. She still takes an oath to uphold the law,” said Noonan. DuPage County Republican Chairman Jim Zay has asked candidates and volunteers to document all cases of sign theft and vandalism since September 1st. “We have a large number of Cook County Democrat political operatives and Madigan’s Chicago precinct swarming all over DuPage County practicing machine politics and we expect this from them because that’s how they were taught to campaign — illegally,” said Zay. “I am as amazed as anyone that an election Judge duly appointed by the DuPage County Clerk would resort to this kind of action while she is supposed to be an honest, fair and impartial part of the election system.” The Police Report number assigned by the Villa Park Police Department in the Johnston case is VPPC2002506.)

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— The business case for diversity – DANIELLE BRAFF (DIERSEN: The Democrats who run the federal government in Chicago get rid of their employees who are Republican White, male, and/or non-veteran and who they have not promoted to GS-13 (currently $101,176) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $119,559) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $140,634) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $170,800) by age 40. From what I see, in the Chicago commuting area, members of the following groups are underrepresented in government: those who are Republican, White, male, older, Protestant, German American, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
