CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Officials clarify Joliet police chief firing, give ultimatum – ALICIA FABBRE (COMMENT: In 1997, when I was 49 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors hinted that they might let me work for another 6 years when I would then be eligible for regular retirement if I would happily agree to be constructively downgraded and a) happily agree to work for my Black subordinate or b) happily agree to be transferred to another audit group. I had been assigned to the group that audits federal financial industry regulators since 1990. I had earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT earlier in 1997. I had become a Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-joliet-police-chief-asked-to-resign-20211009-d46ei3yzafcn5hpkr6iq562sta-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Ousted Joliet police Chief Dawn Malec was given the option to resign from city employment entirely or face firing after being removed from the top job Wednesday — a move she said she won’t make. In a letter, hand-delivered to Malec’s home hours after City Manager Jim Capparelli informed her she was out as chief, Capparelli clarified his earlier action, saying her termination was only for her role as police chief. The letter states that Malec has “not attained eligibility to retire on full pension, and therefore will be returned to (her) rank of lieutenant, effective immediately.” In the letter, Capparelli offered her the option of resigning from the department by 5 p.m. Friday. If not, he warned, she could be fired.)
DAILY HERALD
— FRONT PAGE: DuPage County Board members at odds over redistricting as deadline looms – Katlyn Smith (COMMENT: In 2015, Democrat plants and RINOs redrew my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 9 in Wheaton and put me in the same precinct with Jeanne Ives. I should write a book about that.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20211011/dupage-county-board-members-at-odds-over-redistricting-as-deadline-looms
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “I would like to see alternative maps using traditional redistricting parameters, taking out incumbency requirements,” Chavez wrote in an email. Zay said there are no incumbency requirements, but that officials try not to draw county board members and forest preserve commissioners out of their districts “if at all possible.” “But again, that wasn’t an objective of it,” Zay said. “Ours was to keep that deviation of the districts under 1% and to make communities contiguous and whole if we could, and that’s what we did.”)

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2021/10/11/house-republicans-vote-impeach-trump-who-they-face-2022/5833206001/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill. Kinzinger responded to Gonzalez’s decision to not seek reelection in a video posted to Twitter. “Now the pundits and politicos are discussing whether this means that Trump won, so let me answer this question. Yes, as of now, Trump is winning,” he said. “Not because Anthony [Gonzalez] decided not to run, but because so many in the Republican party decided to stay silent.” Kinzinger said his GOP colleagues watched from the sidelines and lacked the courage to speak out following the events from Jan. 6. “The future of the party and politics in this country doesn’t rest on the 10 of us. It rests on the courage of the 180 others who have been silent so far. To my GOP colleagues, the time is now to speak up,” he added. Kinzinger, who represents northern Illinois, is one of two Republicans to serve on the bipartisan Jan. 6 committee to investigate the attack on the Capitol. In a New York Times guest essay, Kinzinger said he is on the commission to get answers to questions about misinformation campaigns, lies perpetuated by Trump and other leaders and investigate the motivations of those who stormed the Capitol. Kinzinger has been a consistent critic of Trump, most recently calling him a “snowflake” and “one of the weakest men I’ve ever seen” on CNN following the former president’s response to President George W. Bush’s 9/11 speech on violent extremism. Kinzinger has raised nearly $1.9 million for the 2021-2022 election cycle, according to OpenSecrets. However, Politico reported a new congressional map may eliminate Kinzinger’s district. That could leave Kinzinger with the option to face an incumbent in a different district. Despite reports the district may be eliminated, seven other Republican challengers have filed with the FEC to run for Kinzinger’s seat. One challenger, Catalina Lauf, is a former Department of Commerce advisor under Trump. She received the endorsement of Rep. Madison Cawthorn, R-N.C., in July. Lauf unsuccessfully ran for a Congress seat in 2020. In a social media video announcing her campaign, Lauf called Kinzinger a “weak-kneed, establishment Republican who cares more about his next MSNBC appearance than the voters who elected him.” Lauf has raised over $350,000 for the 2021-2022 election cycle.)
