Isabel’s morning briefing

Wednesday, Oct 11, 2023 - Posted by Isabel Miller

* ICYMI: The Quincy City Council denied a controversial ordiance that would have made the town a ‘Sanctuary City for the Unborn.’ WGEM

    - The ordiance failed 7-5 with two aldermen absent.
    - Public coment lasted for more than two hours.

* ACLU of Illinois…

We applaud the majority of the Quincy City Council who this evening recognized that the ordinance aimed at limiting access to abortion care was unlawful and unenforceable. The vote came after Quincy residents – some of whom had never attended a City Council meeting – spoke up and urged the Council to reject the fantasies of anti-abortion activists, and focus on the needs of their community. Public participation at the local level clearly still matters.

    Re: SunTimes Story on Shooting Immigrants

    === standing outside the Grand Crossing police station with her young son in her arms when gunmen rolled up in a Jeep Grand Cherokee and started shooting ===

    What sort of Nation are we when this sort of hate toward asylees and refugees persists? This is but one example of xenophobia. Suggesting this is but a rogue actor and an isolated event ignores the level of vitriol and hatred spewed in our State (and our Nation) right now by local and state politicians as well as lay people today.

    We must openly reject this hatred. We must confront it openly, whether it takes the form of Awake Illinois or Republican platforms (platitudes). It is time to end this hate.

    Commando Ives must be delirious that her Manteno rant has made Tribbie Page 1. Finally someone gives her attention. BTW story also mentions no one made a peep when same Commie company opened a plant in Ohio during Trump times.

    Gotion is in the news again today in the Tribune, but thinking the local concerns the Manteno moms, Vets and community folks about the air those folks breath, the water they drink and the effect on their community will probably play a bigger role in the final resolution of weather or not this factory will be built in that community than the State Reps. that showed up to discuss China concerns.

    This notion that abortion will be overshadowed in voters’ minds due to “this” or “that”, keep in mind that there are currently states in the United States that see a woman’s rights to her own body are not her own, but are dictated by “the laws of man”.

    Ignoring Quincy and other places not fulfilling the want to limit women is a political mistake and an actual “not learning anything”

    My hope is Republicans feel a need to appease cultists of purity and in primaries talk about abortion… and voters vote accordingly.

    === What sort of Nation are we when this sort of hate toward asylees and refugees persists? ===

    The same nation we have always been, sadly.

    The tollway should go ahead with the Illiana I-57 to I-65 by-pass. That would help reduce a lot of congestion and heavy truck traffic off of the existing expressways.


  7. - Grandson of Man - Wednesday, Oct 11, 23 @ 12:48 pm:

    “The same nation we have always been, sadly.”

    Next year, with the migrants and Democratic Convention in Chicago, the outrage meter will be off the charts for many. Can their poor old hearts take it? Many are up in age or not in the best of health.

    ” Crain’s | Northwestern’s Kellogg gets $25 million in memory of Sam Zell”

    Sam Zell was amazingly generous in life, the donations in his memory are an incredible testament to a larger-than-life entrepreneur.


  9. - Oswego Willy - Wednesday, Oct 11, 23 @ 2:13 pm:

    ===Sam Zell was amazingly generous in life===

    How did he make his money?

    A quick Google search… and generosity… hmm.

    Odd.


  10. - Oswego Willy - Wednesday, Oct 11, 23 @ 2:20 pm:

    Zell helped in ruining the Cubs and the Trib, but this lil bit about the “grave dancer” is always a reminder that money is designed to prop up bad actors to seem philanthropic.

    ==The tollway should go ahead with the Illiana I-57 to I-65 by-pass. ==

    Then extend the Illiana west to I-55 as originally planned (near Wilmington) before Rauner cancelled the project.

    Then take the “Illiana” even further west and southwest. Extend it to Peoria. Then resurrect Route 336 from Macomb to Peoria from the dead and bring that project back. Regardless of whether or not the locals want it.
