http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/watchdog/ct-group-home-investigations-cila-met-20161117-htmlstory.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The house had no address; the dead man had no name. Illinois officials blacked out those details from their investigative report. Nobody else was supposed to learn the man’s identity or the location of the state-funded facility where his body was found. The investigation was closed as it began, with no public disclosure, and the report was filed away, one of thousands that portray a hidden world of misery and harm. No one would know that Thomas Powers died at 3300 Essington Road in unincorporated Joliet, in a group home managed for adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities. Or that his caregivers forced a 50-year-old man with the intellect of a small child to sleep on a soiled mattress on the floor in a room used for storage. Or that the front door bore a building inspection sticker that warned, “Not approved for occupancy.” Not even Powers’ grieving family knew the state had looked into his death and found evidence of neglect. As Illinois steers thousands of low-income adults with disabilities into private group homes, a Tribune investigation found Powers was but one of many casualties in a botched strategy to save money and give some of the state’s poorest and most vulnerable residents a better life. In the first comprehensive accounting of mistreatment inside Illinois’ taxpayer-funded group homes and their day programs, the Tribune uncovered a system where caregivers often failed to provide basic care while regulators cloaked harm and death with secrecy and silence.)

— Park Ridge Disappointed As Donald Trumps Hillary – ANNE LUNDE
http://www.journal-topics.com/news/article_2a2261b6-ac39-11e6-9d68-9bbbdfecaead.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Hillary Rodham Clinton didn’t get quite enough electoral votes to win the White House on Nov. 8, but it wasn’t due to any failure from her home town of Park Ridge, which gave her a 14% lead over Republican candidate Donald Trump. There was initial hope at a local gathering organized by Hillary supporters of all persuasions, held at the Centennial Activity Center, especially when the ABC national anchor team announced moments after the Illinois polls closed at 7 p.m. (Central time) that she and running mate Timothy Kaine had won Illinois. The key was not getting the popular vote, which Clinton appeared to be winning nationally with 47.61% over Trump’s 47.28% based on election night unofficial reports. The winner had to have a majority of electoral college votes, which are determined by different formulas by state. Trump received 290 electoral votes, well ahead of Clinton’s 232, based on returns announced on election night. Her blue-colored states on the national map clustered out east, and on parts of the west coast. Trump’s campaign captured many of the states which were initially too close to call, leaving a sea of Republican “red” on the map by the end of the evening. Neither Libertarian Gary Johnson and his running mate Bill Weld or the Green Party’s Jill Stein with her running mate Alumu Baraka earned electoral votes. In Park Ridge, only three precincts gave Trump and his running mate, Mike Pence, a majority of the popular vote: In Maine 43, Trump had 266 votes to Clinton’s 237, Johnson’s 26 and Stein’s 6. In Maine 67, Trump received 458 to Clinton’s 407, Johnson’s 26 and Stein’s 6. In Maine 88, Trump had 230 to Clinton’s 180, Johnson’s 31 and Stein’s 5. Clinton carried the rest of Park Ridge’s Maine precincts, Leyden 23, and Norwood Park Township’s precincts 3, 11 and 14. Local precinct totals in Park Ridge put Clinton ahead overall, earning 11,123 (54.30%), followed by Trump with 8,255 (40.30%), Johnson’s 842 (4.10%) and Stein’s 249 (1.21%).)

CAPITOL FAX
— BEYOND TRAGIC: Pot revenues jump in Colorado
http://capitolfax.com/2016/11/17/pot-revenues-jump-in-colorado/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: I went to Denver last weekend on a spur of the moment break just to get the heck outta here for a bit. The flight was cheap, the hotel wasn’t bad and the steaks were awesome. Denver is not a very walkable city, but I liked it. And unless you went to a couple of different “hipster” strips, the pot shops were practically invisible. Yeah, I smelled it walking down the street a couple of times, but I’ve smelled pot in Bucktown, too. So, really, if you weren’t looking for it you didn’t notice it. One reason for that is people aren’t legally allowed to consume the product in public places. You have to smoke it in your home. So, if you don’t live in Denver or live in a building that forbids smoking, you have to smoke it on the sly. My hotel, for instance, imposed $500 fines and immediate evictions if caught smoking weed in your room or even on your room’s balcony. Of course, regulating the public consumption of “edibles” is a lot tougher. But Denver’s voters just approved a public consumption ordinance by a 53-47 margin. So things are about to change… Even with the restrictions, pot tourism is already a big thing out there. Every waiter I had assumed that’s why I was in town (maybe it’s the beard). But public consumption will surely attract more people, as long as they work to keep everything reasonable. A legalized, regulated and taxed production, distribution and consumption chain is the ideal way of doing things. If you buy weed in Denver you’re not supporting criminals. Thumbs up!)
