My New Year's Wish List

For  2018, my top wish was fulfilled  early when police body cameras were completed one year ahead of schedule.

Less pathetic behavior from our young people like not joining terrorist groups or stealing packages from front porches that don't belong to you.

Our jail guards must be better trained and more compassionate towards their inmates and our case workers need more support from the state so they can patiently do their jobs.

Less carjackings and more buses! Happy 2018!

My Train Story...

I have taken many forms of transportation, bicycle, car, van, bus and planes. By far, my favorite form of transportation is the train.  I like the train because it is relaxing and fast.

For people whose disabilities won’t allow the operation of a car, it’s the faster way to travel.  As a taxpayer, citizen and consumer, I believe trains, like Chicago’s Rapid Transit, are the most efficient, cleanest ride.

I asked her about them. She explained that she was selling them for her granddaughter’s soccer team. I asked, “how much?” ...

What is the problem with Immigration?

Immigrants helped build the USA. Immigrants are friendly and  hard working.  I'm comfortable around them. Why shouldn't they be treated with respect and compassion?

Abuse & Neglect of the Disabled

Abuse can be social, like a verbal put down,  physical, like hitting or kicking, emotional, like yelling or threats, or even sexual, like harassment or assault. Neglect can be as simple as ignoring someone or isolating them. More terrible is failing to provide a disabled person basic needs like food or medicine or clothing or housing. Abuse and neglect of the disabled is wrong. It is also against the law. It's pathetic and it turns my stomach! If you, or someone you know in Illinois is being abused, call 866-800-1409.
