SEE: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/july-2018-independence-day-celebration-parade-entry-tickets-43661232923?aff=es2 This year again, for the 13th year in a row, DuPage Republicans will help sponsor the parade and the fireworks the evening before. So far, outstandingly, Illinois Republican Party leader and Bolingbrook Mayor Roger Claar has contributed $500, Judge Jeff Mackay has contribute $250, and DuPage County Clerk Paul Hinds has contributed $100 toward the $2,500 sponsorship pledge. Bob Berlin, Tim Elliott, Amy Grant, Dave Molitor, and Peter Roskam have made $100 pledges. DuPage County Republicans will get credit for sponsoring the Tunes of Glory bagpipers and the Wheaton North and South High School bands. DuPage Republicans will again have a booth at the fireworks the evening before the parade. I will again hand deliver a flyer to all the residences and businesses on the parade route that lists the sponsors and the amount that they contributed. Please urge the candidates to phone me at 630-653-0462 about sponsorship and mail a check made out to the Wheaton Park District for $100 or more to me ASAP at 915 Cove Court, Wheaton, Illinois 60189-6326. Thanks. – Dave Diersen

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— A group of Illinois House Republicans, including Rep. Jeanne Ives of Wheaton, candidates and whistleblowers will hold a news conference in Chicago to discuss a plan to address harassment and abuse. (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes do not want me to know about this news conference, promote this news conference, attend this news conference, or report on this news conference because I support the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank in the Republican Party platform.)

— Anti-harassment panel will look for ways to promote more women in politics, Mendoza says – Rick Pearson (DIERSEN: Have you been charged with sexual harassment? I have not. But my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that those who like me who support the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank in the Republican Party platform are White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things.)

— The Web as you know it may soon be altered as Obama-era net neutrality rules end – Tony Romm (DIERSEN: Of course, my critics/opponents want internet service providers (ISP) to prioritize them over me. Of course, my critics/opponents who have lots of money can/would/do give ISPs, Google, Facebook, etc. lots of money to prioritize them over me.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-net-neutrality-end-20180610-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The two events in Washington could lead to further consolidation of wireless, cable and content giants, public-interest advocates say. And they fear that behemoths like AT&T might someday prioritize their own TV shows and other content over rivals’. Internet service providers, or ISPs, deny that they would engage in such a practice — yet consumer watchdogs worry that consumers would have little legal recourse if they did. “I think this could be a one-two punch to consumers and online competition,” said Gene Kimmelman, the president of Public Knowledge, a Washington, D.C.-based public interest group. “The combination of no net neutrality and video consolidation creates new bottlenecks that empower the traditional media industry to raise prices and limit online competition.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Mr. Trump, a former reality television star, may soon be working with a thinned-out cast in the middle of Season 2, well before the midterm elections. Several high-profile aides, including John F. Kelly, the president’s chief of staff, and Joe Hagin, a deputy of Mr. Kelly’s, are said to be thinking about how much longer they can stay. Last week, Mr. Kelly told visiting senators that the White House was “a miserable place to work,” according to a person with direct knowledge of the comment. The turnover, which is expected to become an exodus after the November elections, does not worry the president, several people close to him said. He has grown comfortable with removing any barriers that might challenge him — including, in some cases, people who have the wrong chemistry or too frequently say no to him.)
WALL STREET JOURNAL
— What to Consider Before You Change Your Residence Because of the New Tax Law Limits on deductions for state and local taxes have created a greater incentive for taxpayers living in high-tax states – Tom Herman (DIERSEN: Roskam should increase the $10,000 SALT cap to $20,000 for married filing jointly.)
https://www.wsj.com/articles/what-to-consider-before-you-change-your-residence-because-of-the-new-tax-law-1528682701
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For some people, saving taxes under the new law could be a moving experience. Among the biggest changes is a provision limiting deductions for state and local taxes to $10,000 a year ($5,000 for a married person filing a separate return), starting this year and scheduled to expire at the end of 2025. Also, the standard deduction amounts rose sharply. These changes have created a greater incentive for many taxpayers living in high-tax areas, including New York City, California, New Jersey and Connecticut, to consider becoming tax refugees. This includes upper-income taxpayers who have more than one home and want to claim a home in a lower-tax area as the one that counts for tax purposes. It also includes some taxpayers who are considering fleeing entirely from a high-tax area.)
