http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/daily-southtown/news/ct-sta-school-safety-infrastructure-st-0820-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In Crete-Monee Consolidated District 201-U, budget constraints and limited grants have made it “very difficult” to finance needed security measures, said Rochelle Clark, assistant superintendent of district affairs. In the near future, the district hopes to place a school resource officer at its middle and high schools and one to “float” among the elementary buildings, she said. This would not only help monitor student movement during passing periods, school activities and afterschool activities, but would offer an opportunity for officers to build relationships with students and families, she said. All administrators will participate in online training followed by in-person sessions and will work with local police officers to provide “realistic” evacuation and intruder drills, she said. But other challenges to school security include access to the school buildings and varying ideas as to what the students, staff and community “perceive” as safe, Clark said.)

Eric Peterson and Barbara Vitello (DIERSEN: What percentage of those in your precinct, in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, and in Illinois talk and/or act a) like they want to smoke pot, b) like they smoke pot, c) like they want to make money selling pot, and/or d) like they want government to take in lots of tax revenue from legalizing pot? Who leads the fight against pot in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, and in Illinois? If/when the Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, and RINOs legalize pot in Illinois, and if municipalities and counties can ban the sale of pot in their jurisdictions, I am going to lead the fight to get Wheaton and DuPage County to be the first municipality and the first county in Illinois to ban the sale of pot in their jurisdictions.)
