CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Aldermen fear setting aside contracts for gay-owned businesses could lead to
fraud, fewer contracts for people of color The City Council signed off on a
study of the idea proposed by Chicago’s first openly-gay mayor. – Fran Spielman
(DIERSEN: The more preference that is given to LGBTQers, the more people that
will claim to be LGBTQers.) (WIREPOINTS: If set-asides are extended to gays,
only 13.6% of Chicago’s population would be left without access to a set-aside
– straight, white, males with no handicap, as we detailed earlier. In other
words, over 86% of Chicagoans would be entitled to preferential treatment when
bidding for city contracts. Maybe it would be easier just to designate the
small minority that gets no preference.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Mike Madigan squashes legislative probe of that email about a rape. If he were a Republican, he’d be gone – John Kass (WIREPOINTS: If Madigan were a Republican, his opponents may have likely invoked House Rule 91, to form a legislative commission to examine charges of obstruction of the legislature. Why? Because Madigan just squashed a legislative investigation of Michael McClain, his closest confidant and a retired lobbyist who’s under a federal criminal investigation. That legislative inquiry would have examined McClain’s email defending a politically connected worker who “kept his mouth shut” about “that rape in Champaign.”)

— Oregon lawmakers to tackle age discrimination in workplace – Eric Tegethoff
(DIERSEN: It would be great if Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and
Wheaton formed such task forces and appointed me to them.)
https://ktvz.com/news/2020/01/14/oregon-lawmakers-to-tackle-age-discrimination-in-workplace/
(FROM THE ARTICLE:
Creating an age-discrimination task force will be a priority during the Oregon
Legislature’s short session next month. The discussion on how to address the
issue started in the 2019 session, after a 2018 AARP survey found three in five
older workers in the state have seen or experienced age discrimination.
According to the Oregon Bureau of Labor Industries, more than 2,500 age
discrimination claims have been filed with the agency in the past decade. AARP
Oregon State Director Ruby Haughton-Pitts said older workers are a valuable
part of the labor force, especially with the state’s historically low
unemployment numbers. “How can we have a broad enough discussion that
actually creates a viable workforce for the future in our state,” she
said, “and doesn’t X people out just because you see when they graduated
from college or high school or whatever, but says, ‘This person has good
skills; I need to take a look at them.'”)
