Very early in the morning of November 20, 2018, I turned off my computer. Microsoft automatically downloaded a “critical update.” Two hours later when I tried to use the computer, I could not. I could not leave the startup page. I haven’t been on the computer since that morning. I am now using our local library’s computers and have not yet decided if I will try to have my computer repaired. However, it is time to start blogging again. Since I also can’t get into my old Microsoft accounts, I’m starting a new blog as of Saturday, May 4, 2019.

From my last post before being shut down:

I created a “Wall of Shame” a few years ago for really horrendous Legislative votes and Governor’s actions. It is time for a “Hall of Honor” for actions above and beyond the call of duty. The first such “Hall of Honor” goes to the Mayor and Trustees of the Village of Morton, Illinois who prohibited marijuana businesses within the village limits the same day that the law went into force. The mayor proposed the ordinance and the Trustees passed the ordinance 6-0. The “Hall of Honor” not includes the El Paso Mayor and Council and 6 members of the Naperville City Council.

Naperville

There was some questionable information about this vote in the article that I used. Two members of the Naperville City Council contacted me about it. I asked one of the two to send me the actual motion as voted upon. I received it Saturday when the library was closed. That motion stated:

A motion in substitution [A motion replacing the previous motion. The previous motion was not voted upon and I am not providing it here.] was made by Councilman Coyne, seconded by Councilman Hinterlong, for Option 1: to pass the ordinance amending Title 3 of the Naperville Municipal Code by the addition of Chapter 17 prohibiting adult use cannabis business establishments other than medical cannabis cultivation centers and medical cannabis dispensing organizations and to direct staff to bring back a report within 60 days that advises Council concerning including an advisory (non-binding) referendum question on a future election ballot.”

Also from the council member who furnished the motion: “ … 
the three who voted against made it clear that they were only voting against because they wanted the motion to include more specific details regarding what specific [future election] ballot the referendum will be on:”

I apologize for the confusion. Newspaper articles generally don’t give the specific motion for a vote or the reasons why the members are voting for or against the specific motion. 

These six council members voted to prohibit ALL marijuana businesses within its jurisdiction:

Council member Kevin 
Coyne ~ current term expires in 2021
Council member Patricia Gustin ~ current term expires in 2023
Council member Paul Hinterlong ~ current term expires in 2023
Council member Patrick Kelly ~ current term expires in 2023
Council member John Krummen ~ current term expires in 2021
Council member Dr. Benjamin White ~ current term expires in 2021

These three members of the council voted against the motion as presented:

Mayor Steve Chirico ~ current term expires in 2023
Council member Theresa Sullivan ~ current term expires in 2023
Council member Judith Brodhead ~ current term expires in 2021

New post:

Criminal law basically serves two purposes: It defines certain behaviors as either right or wrong according to the governing society. It also provides the necessary punishment for those who violate those standards established by the governing society. In general, the more severe the punishment(s) the more abhorrent the negative behavior is considered to be.  

We also know, from past experiences and human behavior, people will basically react to any law in one of four ways. Depending upon the behavior, the degree of each of these four ways will vary. However, in general, almost all people can be placed in one of the four ways in relation to a specific action.

1) Some people would never participate in a specific action regardless of the law because that action is morally reprehensible to them. For example: Murder. Even if murder were “legal” within the society, they would refuse to commit a murder.

2) Some people might, under the “correct” circumstances, participate in an action if legal but 
they will not participate in that same practice if illegal because of the societal declaration that it is unacceptablebecause of the punishment imposedor for both reasons. In this circumstance, light to no punishment might be inducement enough to participate in the action when a more severe punishment would greatly decrease participation.

3) Some people will be involved in an illegal action if they believe they have a chance to escape being caught and/or being punished for the illegal activity. In general, 
the less likely being caught and/or punishedthe more likely they will participate in that illegal action [This is particularly important for minors if the activity is legal for adults but illegal for minors. Alcohol consumption and smoking cigarettes are two current examples. Use of “recreational” marijuana will be added to this list when “recreational” marijuana is officially legal on January 1, 2020. There is no question based upon past experience and human behavior that use will increase with availabilitylack of enforcementand peer pressureamong other factors.]

4) Some people are going to commit the crime regardless, if they decide it is in their best interest to commit the crime and they have no moral compunction not to commit the action. This is why no law will ever completely prevent that activity. Laws against murders don’t stop murders. Severe punishment doesn’t prevent all murders. No law ever stops an illegal act 100% of the time.

For legalizing “recreational” marijuana as well as changes in most laws, 
the individuals who fall into categories 2 and 3 are the ones who will generally be most affected by the change in the law.

Friday’s post conclusion:

If “recreational” marijuana businesses are approved in a local jurisdiction, that jurisdiction will experience an increase in the use and abuse of marijuana by minors. It occurs now with alcohol which is illegal for minors and it will increase for marijuana although still illegal for minors. Legalizing “recreational” marijuana tells minors that the State of Illinois and the local jurisdiction see nothing wrong with using marijuana. Minors will have greater access to marijuana just as they now have access to alcohol. This law will NOT protect minorsIt will put minors at much greater risk than they currently are. It is naïve to believe otherwise.

Merriam-Webster Dictionary definition of a “recreational” drug


“A 
drug (such as cocaine, marijuana, or methamphetamine) used without medical justification for its psychoactive effects often in the belief that occasional use of such a substance is not habit-forming or addictive

What is the definition of occasional use?

I was an elected official of a school board in Arizona. Believe me when I say that good elected public officials pay attention to these ACTIONS. If they don’t and they go against what you want the solution is simple and democratic. VOTE THEM OUT OF OFFICE.

In Morton a few years ago, four of our seven school board members voted to implement a “transsexual” policy contrary to the wishes of the general voting public. The next election, three of the four were up for reelection. ALL three of them decided not to run for reelection. Our school superintendent who supported the four took another superintendent job as did the high school principal. I don’t know if the high school principal supported it but my guess is that it was a factor in her leaving. In the next election for the fourth member, she also decided not to run for reelection.

Remember this: Decisions have consequences and as the voting public you have a voice in those consequences. You have the ultimate power over elected officials’ decisionsif you use it.


“Governor J. B. Pritzker taps state senator Toi Hutchinson to oversee pot rollout
Dan Petrella and Jamie Munks | Chicago Tribune | September 27, 2019

Governor J.B. Pritzker has tapped one of the chief legislative sponsors of Illinois’ recreational marijuana law to oversee the rollout of the new program [Convenient isn’t it.].

State Senator Toi Hutchinson, a Democrat from south suburban Olympia Fields, will resign her seat to join the Pritzker administration in the $220,000-per-year role of cannabis regulation oversight officer [The governor “only” made $177,412 per year in 2018 according to https://www.businessinsider.com/governor-salary-by-state-2018-1#illinois-13 .]. Hutchinson, whose current legislative salary of $80,037.84 includes a stipend of $10,573.92 for chairing the Senate Revenue Committee [An increase in salary of approximately 275%. Not bad for being a major sponsor for controversial legislation.], will coordinate efforts among the half-dozen state agencies that have a hand in regulating the recreational marijuana industry that is preparing for a January 1 launch [Good luck with such regulation. Imagine successful regulation in Illinois?].

‘She has thoroughly impressed me with her drive, insight and ability to get big things done,’ Pritzker said in a statement. ‘I couldn’t be more proud that she has agreed to join my administration and bring her leadership to our effort at keeping equity at the forefront of the state’s new adult-use cannabis industry [Is this a joke? “Adult-use?” Is he serious?].’

Hutchinson, who was first appointed to the Senate in 2009, was a major proponent of the bill’s social equity goals [What does that even mean? Similar to “social justice?”], including provisions that allow people to have low-level marijuana convictions expunged [State convictions? States can not expunge federal convictions. What are low-level marijuana convictions?] and measures designed to help minority-owned businesses enter the industry [Industry? Similar to the murder of babies within the womb industry?].

She is still coordinating her official resignation from the Senate, and her start date with the Pritzker administration has not been determined.

Senate President John Cullerton, a Chicago Democrat, congratulated Hutchinson on the new role but said her decision to leave the legislature is ‘a profound loss for the Illinois Senate [In his opinion.].’

‘Senator Hutchinson has tackled some of the toughest issues facing our state [Such as forcing Illinois taxpayers to pay for the murder babies within the womb?], always performing with grace, eloquence and determination,’ Cullerton said in a statement.

Moving into the new job, Hutchinson has the rare opportunity to oversee the implementation of a major piece of legislation that she played a key role in drafting as a legislator [Conflict of interest?].

Part of that job will involve balancing the needs of the existing medical marijuana companies, which the law gives a head start on entering the recreational sales market, with the state’s goal of creating a more diverse industry [What does that mean?] than the one that currently exists in Illinois and in the 10 other states that have legalized pot, she said.

‘We’re going to have to figure out how to manage that tension [Given Illinois’ outstating record, I’m confident that will occur. Not.],’ Hutchinson said Friday. ‘As I move into my new role, the job will be to make sure that all those points are coordinated and that we’re hitting the benchmarks that we need to so that this bill is implemented in the strongest way and in the way we intended when we drafted it in the first place [Joke?].’

As a lawmaker, Hutchinson has received $10,000 in campaign contributions from the marijuana industry in the past year [What a surprise. Not.], according to state campaign finance records show [Sic]. That includes a $5,000 contribution in October [Of last year?] from a cultivator called Progressive Treatment Solutions, which records show has close ties to an industry group now known as the Cannabis Business Association of Illinois, and $5,000 on September 11 [Of this year?] from Ghost Management, a California-based venture capital firm that invests in the marijuana industry.

Hutchinson will give back the political donations connected to the medical cannabis industry [How kind of her?], Pritzker spokeswoman Jordan Abudayyeh.

State lawmakers voted with much fanfare in May to legalize the sale of recreational marijuana, but some of the administration’s early steps to implement the program have raised concerns among industry players [What’s new?].

So far, the state has awarded five licenses to existing medical dispensaries to sell recreational pot beginning New Year’s Day. But one of those dispensaries won’t be able to use its license because Naperville, where the shop is located, has banned recreational sales [Naperville is in my “Hall of Honor” because of this vote.].

The Pritzker administration has said medical dispensaries can’t sell to recreational customers if they relocate, essentially rendering the Naperville license useless unless the city changes its position. Medical dispensaries are permitted to apply for a license for a secondary retail location.

Hutchinson is stepping into the job of overseeing the state’s marijuana industry as policymakers across the country are grappling with the outbreak of mysterious lung illness associated with vaping. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC] reported Thursday that 805 people have been sickened in 46 state[s] [Sic] and 12 people have died. In Illinois, meanwhile, the Department of Public Health has reported 88 cases, including one death, and 17 needing further investigation.

The CDC on Thursday said the latest findings in its investigation show that products containing THC — the psychoactive compound in marijuana — play a role in the outbreak.

As Illinois prepares to allow the widespread sale of marijuana vaping products, ‘this is absolutely an issue of grave concern [You think?],’ Hutchinson said.

‘Anytime you look at something that’s happened this suddenly and this unexpectedly and where people can’t pin down what the source is, we have to be involved, we have to be at the forefront, we have to make sure public health is the No. 1 priority [Then WHY did the State legalize “recreational” marijuana? It sure wasn’t because of a concern for public health.],’ she said.

Part of the problem, Hutchinson said, is that the marijuana industry is still ‘in a gray area [Illegal area.]’ where illicit products are competing with regulated products sold in states that have legalized the drug [And will CONTINUE TO DO SO IN THE FUTURE. If anyone believes legalizing “recreational” marijuana will end illegal sales of marijuana, they are living in a fantasy world.].

The state will need to examine its regulations for vaping products that contain THC as public health officials learn more about the lung illness, she said.”

There are only three things that can occur once “recreational” marijuana is legalizedIts use will increase among minorsIts use will decrease among minorsIts use will remain the same. Realistically, which of the three do you believe will be the case?
