A/C and Furnace giveaway in New Lenox from start to finish!

   For weeks the teams prepared and worked to build a proper event. From flyers to tickets As the summer was well under way the team at RCM Heating & Cooling and the team at York by Johnson Controls worked avidly to set up a free furnace and air conditioner giveaway! As they worked to get this event put together a local event was coming up. Proud American Days in New Lenox was nearing. The two hardworking and focused crews thought, what a better way to do a giveaway than to raffle off a free furnace and A/C to a local veteran.

    For weeks the teams prepared and worked to build a proper event. From flyers to tickets and much more! The teams worked for about 6 weeks to ensure they had the bases and the event came along well. As the day came to pull the winner you could smell the cone cakes, and curly fries as Bill and the team headed to pull the winner.

   Bill took the stage and gave a speech to the crowd about veterans. Through his speech, he thanked the veterans for their service and talked about how honored RCM and York by Johnson Controls where to donate a unit to a veteran. Then came the fun of getting to pick a winner! As the winner was picked, much to our surprise out came….. Wade Krohn. As Bill called his name and Wade made his way to accepting the winning ticket and that is just where the story begins!

Who our winner turned out to be and why it touched us so deeply.

   Wade Krohn a father and grandfather was a WWII veteran who served our country in a great time of need. After that, he served as at the New Lenox fire department for many years in New Lenox!  So not only did we get a great local Vet, but a public servant as well! We were very honored to provide such a great gift to such an amazing person!

Installation Day

   On installation day we made it out to Wade Krohn’s home early. With his brand new furnace and A/C provided by York of Johnson Controls, we were ready to go. Our team spent the entire day with Wade getting to learn who he was as a person, and getting the opportunity to provide Wade with an amazing new system for FREE! Bill Ward the owner of RCM  Heating and Cooling stated “ Helping a veteran who fought for our nation is a great honor, as a whole RCM and York by Johnson Controls are equally proud here today! After a long full day, the system had been put in and the test was done! Congratulations Wade!

The push to legalize marijuana in Illinois still on

State rep Kelly Cassidy 

(PS) The push to legalize marijuana in Illinois is still on the table in Illinois for the coming January sessions down state. With a growing crisis in Illinois, this would be one of the smartest moves law makers could make at this point in Illinois! State Representative Kelly Cassidy and state Senator Heather Stein both have authorized bill's on the table to legalize marijuana in Illinois!

"We are going to do it the way it makes the most seance" Stein stated, as the bill will be changed from what was introduced in March. There will be more regulatory guidelines and a proper tax structure implemented over the next few months. As the primarily liberal state is moving towards legalization there are still a lot of hoops to jump.

Illinois spends an estimated $200 Million a year fighting marijuana and we currently have an estimated 357,021 people unemployed. With figures like this, we need to find a solution. Believe it or not in only 10 years the savings from prosecution alone would take care of 10% of our outstanding debt. This is something Kassidy and Stein have both acknowledged.The state is in need of growth for the positive and with the current financial issues were nowhere near where we need to be.

State Senator Heather Stein

At this point, the projected tax revenue is over $350 Million and the state is in desperate need of the tax revenue and it's essential that we fix the gap some how. As one of the most progressive states in the US, we are in need of a change. If we do not bar the gap we will surely be headed towards a state wide bankruptcy in the next few years. Illinois has long been troubled with criminal law makers and corruption and we are drained. A law to legalize marijuana is a sure fire way to help balance out Illinois and reduce our spending at the same time.

Illinois currently has $15 Billion in unpaid bills and counting. As of Thursday law makers approved a $36 billion dollar budget including $8 Billion towards our unpaid debts. Adding $350 Million a year would be a great way to help balance us out state wide.

Jill Stein tied into the Trump and Russia meetings?

Jill Stein - Green Party candidate for President 2012 , 2016 

What, Jill Stein has to do with Trump Jr.’s meeting last summer with the Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya is not very clear at all, as the Senate  Committee provided no context for its demands, which are to be honored by August 2, 2017. A request for an explanation to Stein’s former campaign manager remains unanswered and though she is active on Twitter, Stein has made no acknowledgment on that social media network of her name’s appearance in or is relevant to the Trump Jr. inquest.

None of this, of course, prevented some on Twitter from rejoicing at the idea that Stein was herself the subject of investigation. The joy is premature but understandable. Stein’s self-righteousness exasperated many supporters of Hillary, as did her portrayal of Clinton as effectively no better a choice for true liberals than Donald Trump himself. Some have blamed Stein for “spoiling” the election, doing for Clinton what her fellow progressive Ralph Nader had done 17 years before for to  Al Gore. Her demand for a recount—a demand for which she reaped $7 million in donations—struck some as a pointless publicity ploy. 

Having been a supporter of Stein I do feel she did it to gain publicity but for a righteous cause. Though it may be another 100 years before an off party candidate wins the election Stein has paved the way in a sense for this opportunity. Jill Stein ran for president in 2012 and in 2016. Prior to those runs, she had run for governor in Massachusets in 2012 and again in 2010. We will follow this story as it builds! 

Political insider claims Trump's presidency is 'effectively over'

Hours after three Republican senators including John McCain dealt a crushing blow to President Donald Trump's hopes of repealing Obamacare, at least one political operative claimed the Trump presidency "is effectively over."

Sen. Ted Cruz's former campaign manager Rick Tyler made the stunning declaration during an appearance on MSNBC's Morning Joe on Friday.

"I think this presidency is effectively over," Tyler told co-host Mika Brzezinski.

"If you look back to different presidencies, you look at Bill Clinton " he continued. "He had a rough first two years, very difficult two years. But after Oklahoma City he was able to regain his footing and become presidential until he slipped on a blue dress."

"But saying that aside, this president cannot change. Nothing about his behavior tells me, since the beginning of this process, that he was going to change," he added. "If he cannot change and he cannot become presidential and he cannot convince the majority of the American people to enact some legislative agenda that he wants passed, his presidency, legislatively, is effectively over."

Where will we be in 2020?

Clinton or Trump, that is the question most Americans are being asked to answer this November. For the first time in US history we have a high probability of a woman taking office as president of the United States. Not saying that this will happen but Hillary Clinton is currently up by 7% and Donald is constantly leading himself into holes. We decided to do a candidate by candidate break down for you all to take a look at. Here is how we envision America under each candidate's leadership.

President Hillary Clinton:

In 2020 America would be trillions in Debt, with a lot to think about. President Clinton would be planning for re-election so jobs would be at a 4 year high. Oboma care would be at an all time high, and patient numbers will have risen by 100,000's due to baby boomers reaching their 80's and 90's. The education system will have increased and this is a positive, also social services will regain footing. 

Congress will have passed dozens of new laws and regulations some hurting some helping. All in all America will have basically had another 4 years of an Oboma style administration and will still be working on fixing it's issues! 

President Donald Trump:

In 2020 America would be still in Debt but President Trump would have cut a lot of social services and excess spending on social issues. Russia would be our allie again for the first time in years. We would see much more military action which essentially would add an economic boost to our nation! We will see a lot of fighting and commotion though due to our national leaders mouth getting us in to deep! 

Donald of course would be planning his second run for office,and he would be loud and proud of that fact. Our nation would be rasing hell to remove him from office! 

Illinois Still Shell Shocked.

                   

Governor - Bruce Rauner 

 Illinois still being shell shocked by the great recession we are currently still feeling the effects today. Our once bountiful state left in shambles over the past 8 years. Struggling already, we were hit off guard with an economic recession that shook our residents with a furry. The heated debates and higher tax rates pushed a lot of Illinois residents to move out of state, and business as well. No we who are left, are wondering what it will take to re stabilize Illinois. With Freshman Governor Bruce Rauner already butting heads with the Democrats down state, things are off to a mighty slow start.

       Many whom voted in November elected Rauner in hopes similar to the circumstance of our current president. They wanted a change. As time goes on we still continue to see a murky future for the state of Illinois. As we head into the end of 2015, we can only hope the states leadership can begin to agree on a solution for the future of our residents.

   With the on going pension Crises and the current budget gaps we are no where near out of the deep end yet. As a state we need our leadership to play an effective role in making much necessary changes to our current policy and taxes. Illinois is broke, we still cannot pay our bills. Public workers have been dealing with later and later pay and much larger issues.

Growth for Illinois to stand against Governor Rauner

    Growth for Illinois to stand against Governor Rauner

     By: Jim Perez

          Plainfield, Illinois, 10/8/2015 - Growth for Illinois (Growth), a political action committee working to expand the medical cannabis industry in Illinois, plans to push forth a ballot initiative. This initiative was created to develop new conditions to the medical marijuana industry, currently in place in Illinois. Governor Rauner recently demolished state representative Kelly Cassidy's Bill 218, and has worked to reject the 11 new approved conditions by the Illinois Medical Cannabis Advisory Board. Growth for Illinois’ founder, Richard Rodriguez, stated Wednesday: “The prohibition of such key resources to Illinois citizens, is not the will of the people. Governor Rauner is standing in the way of new jobs and economic growth for Illinois.”

        Growth for Illinois plans to file their political action committee paper work later this week, and is determined to give voters a voice. Growth plans to collect over 800,000 plus signatures to put forth a ballot innovative. “Adding more necessary conditions to our current medical cannabis industry will allow for more citizens to have access to a less deadly forum of medication for their medical conditions,” stated Rodriguez. Growth will work hard to send a strong message to the Governor and legislators- The time to add new tax revenue and new jobs for our citizens is now! Illinois needs to permanently approve the Compassionate use medical Marijuana program in our state.  

     Growth for Illinois to Host Medical Marijuana Symposium Forum Will Look at Potential Economic Impact of MMJ in Illinois Growth for Illinois is hosting an educational symposium October 22nd at 5pm-8pm, at the JOLIET public library, located 150 North Ottawa St. in downtown Joliet. Please join us for a discussion with Industry leaders and community activist on the current status of the industry and a discussion on potential economic impact of the MMJ in Illinois.
