I should write a book about those in my precinct, in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, DuPage County, and in Illinois who have always wanted 915 Cove Court in Wheaton to have a higher assessed valuation, that is, those who have always wanted my wife and I to pay higher real estate taxes.)

How soon will real estate taxes exceed 10% of market value and/or $10,000/year for all homes in Illinois?)

— Why housing may help Chicago in Amazon HQ2 race – DENNIS RODKIN (DIERSEN: If Amazon picks Chicago, how attractive would new Amazon employees view the housing in your precinct, in your municipality, in your township/ward, and in your county? From what I see, new Amazon employees would be disproportionately, if not overwhelmingly, anti-Trump, anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-patriotic, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-German Americans, anti-draft dodgers (except Bill Clinton), and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America longer than their ancestors.)

WGN RADIO
— What can we expect from the next legislative session in Springfield? – PETER ZIMMERMAN (DIERSEN: If I was still the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman, everyone could expect and I would deliver a breakfast meeting the third Saturday of every month except August and December, a picnic every August, and a Christmas party every December. Everyone could expect and I would deliver speakers at those events that would include candidates in upcoming elections. Currently, for example, Rauner, Ives, Sanguinetti, Morthland, Harold, Grasso, Diganvker, Jhingan, Stella, Vlakancic, Minor, Grant, Byrne, Kinzler, Orozco, Zito, Khouri, Mendrick, Bibbiano, Tornatore, DeMichele, Gavanes, Hart, Abbott, Tully, McGowen, Almiron, Eckhoff, Zaruba, Tatro, Chinchilla, Wiley, Zay, McQuade, Illinois Republican Party State Central Committee candidates, DuPage County Republican Central Committee candidates, Republican township party candidates, etc. One could argue that incumbent Republicans would be far more likely to want to get rid of TAPROOT because TAPROOT, unlike many other organizations, gave challengers an opportunity to speak. While the West Suburban Patriots organization in Wheaton has barred the following Republican elected officials from speaking at its events because they have endorsed Rauner and Sanguinetti, under my chairmanship, they would be welcome to speak at TAPROOT events, provided that they agreed to take questions from the audience: Dan Cronin, Steve Chirico, Jim Durkin, John Curran, Patti Bellock, Grant Wehrli, Christine Winger, Bob Berlin, Fred Bucholz, Gwen Henry, Paul Hinds, Richard Jorgenson, Greg Hart, Brian Krajewski, Sean Noonan, Don Puchalski, Kevin Wiley, James Zay, Rich Veenstra, Richard Irvin, Chuck Nelson, Kevin Wallace, Franco Coladipietro, Len Austin, Martin Tully, Steven Morley, Rodney Craig, Jeff Pruyn, John Egofske, Ken McClafferty, Kevin Coyne, Ruben Pineda, Noreen Ligino-Kubinski, Michael Gresk, Todd Scalzo, Frank Trilla, and Jim Mathieson.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Cabello accused Rauner of breaking his word on House Bill 40, which mandates public funding for abortion. Cabello said that in meetings with the governor, Rauner told lawmakers he would not sign the bill, which he then did in September. “When you tell someone you are not going to do something, you should stick to your word,” Cabello said. “I can’t trust any words that he says from here on out.” Cabello said he is supporting Rauner’s opponent in the upcoming GOP primary, state Rep. Jeanne Ives of Wheaton.)
