DAILY HERALD
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH COLOR PHOTO OF CHIEF STEVEN STELTER: Legalize
pot? No way, says leader of state police chief association – Charles Keeshan
and Susan Sarkauskas (DIERSEN: Needless-to-say, every municipality, every
township/ward, every county, and every state in America should discourage pot
usage. The Wheaton City Council is seeking applicants for city’s vacant North
District City Council position. Applicants are asked to submit a statement
identifying the three most important issues that they believe the city needs to
address in the next two years as well as their opinion on how those issues
could be addressed. Needless-to-say, applicants should state that discouraging
pot usage is one of Wheaton’s most important issues and that Wheaton should do
everything that it can to discourage pot usage. Applicants should state in no
uncertain terms that they will vote against legalizing the sale of pot in
Wheaton.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190510/legalize-pot-no-way-says-leader-of-state-police-chief-association
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The
suburban police chief recently elected president of the Illinois Association of
Chiefs of Police says he’s making it a top priority to fight the legalization
of recreational marijuana use here. “It is a disastrous move,” Chief
Steven Stelter said, ticking off more than a half-dozen reasons the association
opposes the proposed Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act. Among them: more fatal
crashes and more violent crime in states that have legalized it. . .”I’m
sure everybody that wants to grow is going to stick to five plants,” he
said with more than a hint of sarcasm. The chiefs association also disputes the
belief that legalization will reduce the black market for the drug, and it says
overseas drug cartels have set up grow operations in rental or foreclosed
houses in states where marijuana is legal. “It is destroying our children
in legal states,” Stelter said, referring to reports that use by seventh-
and eighth-graders increased in those places, and there has been an increase in
calls to poison-control centers about children who ingested marijuana-laced
edibles. Politicians in Illinois are turning a blind eye to these concerns, he
said. “They don’t even want to hear it.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: But
the idea provoked strong opposition from Republicans, who argued that expanding
the pool of students who are eligible for MAP grants by allowing noncitizens to
receive them would crowd out legal citizens from getting them. “Ladies and
gentlemen, the math is simple,” Sen. Jim Oberweis, a Sugar Grove Republican,
said. “Each and every one of us have students in our districts who are relying
on MAP funding. If we’re going to take some of that funding away from our
citizens and give it to noncitizens, that means we’re depriving some of our
citizens, some of our students, from being able to have that funding to help
with their education. This is just absolutely, fundamentally wrong.”)

AMERICAN THINKER
— The Next Battlefront: Social Media – Rick Hayes
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/05/the_next_battlefront__social_media.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE:
Imagine a day when newspapers only publish articles regarding the benefits of
late-term abortions, socialism, and open borders. Where history books vilify
Republican conservatives for fighting to defend slavery, inciting segregation,
and founding the KKK. Cable news shows would only report crimes committed by
conservatives or capitalists and social media only allowed leftist ideas to be
communicated over their platforms. Well, if the left continues its
scorched-earth policy against free speech, in no time at all the United States
will have no resemblance to what the Founding Fathers envisioned. So many
examples exist that fully detail the poverty, violence, and atrocities that
quickly emerge when free speech is taken away that it raises the question as to
why so many younger Americans are indifferent about the loss of such an
important right.)
