https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190113/us-rep-casten-thousands-affected-locally-by-government-shutdown
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Thousands of federal workers and constituents in the 6th Congressional District are being directly burdened by the partial federal government shutdown, U.S. Rep. Sean Casten said, and there’s no immediate end in sight. Addressing a standing-room-only crowd Sunday at the Wheaton VFW Post 2164, Casten said ending the standoff has been top priority for the 116th Congress since taking office more than a week ago. He focused on legislative procedure and services affected by the shutdown, rather than President Donald Trump’s demand for a wall along the southwestern border.)

Qualified women and minorities could always get better jobs working for other employers.

SOUTH COOK NEWS
— With nothing left to lose, Ford Heights property taxpayers revolt
https://southcooknews.com/stories/511720665-with-nothing-left-to-lose-ford-heights-property-taxpayers-revolt
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In Chicagoland’s poorest suburb, just three miles from the Indiana border, property owners have discovered the most effective strategy yet for avoiding Illinois’ highest-in-the-nation property taxes. Stop paying. Facing astronomical bills on real estate that’s now worthless at best, Ford Heights home and business owners have literally nothing to lose by ignoring them. Nearly 1,000 Ford Heights property tax bills totaling $2.3 million weren’t paid last year, according to an analysis of Cook County Treasurer records by South Cook News. That’s in a village of just 2,763 people, 987 households and 729 residential properties. More perspective: the village’s total 2017 budget was $1.8 million. The 996 Ford Heights properties with delinquent taxes will be up for public auction in May; willing buyers can take them off the owners’ hands by making good with Cook County on what’s in arrears. That none will both explains the strategy’s genius, and the tragedy it reveals. In Ford Heights, real estate equity has ceased to exist. The concept of “homeownership” has been explicitly, violently eviscerated in this community. And it’s hardly the only one. Effective Tax Rate: 48% The 20 most expensive properties in Ford Heights in 2017 amounted to $6.6 million in alleged, collective property value and $1.07 million in property taxes due, according to Cook County. An analysis by South Cook News found that 13 of those 20 bills have not been paid, totaling $737,630 of the $1.07 million. The non-payers have their reasons.)

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/steve-king-will-face-disciplinary-action-for-white-supremacy-comments-gop-leader-mccarthy-says
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The House minority leader then took a shot at Democratic leaders, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who refused to condemn Michigan freshman Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib for making what Republicans charged was an anti-Semitic slur. Tlaib, who accused some Republicans of having a “dual loyalty” to Israel, had called Trump a “motherf–er” just days earlier — also without drawing condemnation from Pelosi. GOP leaders have also criticized Democrats for continuing to back former Minnesota Democratic Rep. and Democratic National Committee (DNC) deputy chair Keith Ellison, who became the state’s Attorney General earlier this year despite being accused of domestic violence. Ellison said his ex-girlfriend fabricated the accusations, even as Democrats argued that now-Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s accusers should be believed.)

The opinions that I express in GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails are based on experience that I have gained doing many things since 1948.
