Real Journalism for a Real Democracy www.boonecountyjournal.com Published Every Friday • May 20th, 2016 • Vol 21 • Issue 3 No. 1043 Writing “The Report” By James Middleton Since early this year, the focus in Boone County has been captured by a potential railroad that could come through the area. Meetings have been held, letters to the editor have been written and it appears that many in the community have drawn an opinion on the matter before a federal committee, the Surface Transportation Board (STB), has had a chance to gather and to analyze evidence associated with one of three possible options. The STB will analyze evidence and some members of the Boone County Board appear to have made their decision before the final date for reports to be filed with the STB that will be considered as part of their analysis. That end date for delivering reports to the STB arises on June 15 and the Boone County Board is now preparing a formal report that will be delivered by that date. The STB has one of three possible decisions to make. The first possible decision is to approve a route and a plan that has been developed by the railroad, the Great Lakes Basin Transportation, LLC. A second possible decision would be to deny the initial plan. A third possible decision is for the STB to approve an alternative plan that might propose a different route or to propose an alternate plan for the railroad to be created. The Chairman of the Boone County Board, Bob Walberg (District 1) and the Boone County administrator, Ken Terrinoni, huddled together this week to draft a preliminary report that could be shaped into a final report and delivered to the County Board for approval in their Wednesday meeting. Mr. Walberg was critical of media reports that surfaced after a County Board retreat that The Jail As was designed to provide so many multiple uses. occurred last Thursday. The purpose of that meeting was For example, the former County Jail also held the for the members of the County Board to read and accept or House and Home offices of the Boone County Sheriff.

Boone County was sufficient space for the county jail that might have included Mr. Walberg said, “When we look at what was reported, once graced with such a building.

In America today, a group of peopleSlight-of-Hand who make up perhaps 0.3% of the total estimated population of more than 317 million people in 2014, have captured the attention of the President and his Administration. The focus is so complete he announced an order to all public schools requiring them to adopt a new policy regarding student behavior. Further, the civil rights division of the Justice Department is ready to file complaints against districts that do not obey and the education department is ready to remove federal funding from any district that does not comply. One might question the degree of need for this response. However, it should be understood, there has been reason for a long line of judicial decisions that have sought to root out racial, gender and sexual identity prejudice wherever it has occurred. That response was needed when prejudicial behavior was found. However, one must consider that an estimated 0.3% of the total population is the group that has been singled out by the President who are in need of protection of their civil rights. The furor is about an order mandating that every school child who is conflicted about their “gender” may use the restroom that conforms to their gender identification. The order appears to have been handed down without in depth consideration of how the order will be implemented or how to manage potential conflicts with the beliefs of the majority. It is apparent that the Administration has not responded to questions that any of the remaining 99.7% of the estimated population who might be offended by entering a restroom and finding someone of the opposite sex using the facility. But, with the advent of this government’s ability to listen to all cellular telephone calls and to view all Internet messages, privacy is an apparent archaic idea better suited to the 10th Century. One unintended consequence of this focus is the President and his Administration are now freed from media attention over their inability to materially improve the national economy. But, rehabilitating a disabled economy is hard work and federal officials who languish in the “Beltway” do not engage in hard work. Hard work is not an assignment that finds a bevy of volunteers from the ranks of elected or appointed officials in Washington DC. Other than the stimulus bill in 2009, little has been done by Washington operatives to resolve the chronic problems that are now endemic in this economy. The worst problems include stagnant wages, escalating taxes, increasing federal, state and local rules and regulations and a focus on eliminating certain industries that are not in favor with the legions of the “politically correct.” The current economy had a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) report for the first quarter of 2016, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, at 0.5%. That is one-half of one percent of growth that expanded the economy in the first three months of 2016. GDP growth in all of 1983 was 4.6%, in 1984, 7.3% and in 1985, GDP growth amounted to 4.2%. But, these growth rates were not limited to Republican Administrations. In the latter years of the Clinton Administration, GDP growth amounted to 4.5% in 1997, 4.4% in 1998 and 4.7% growth in 1999. These are impressive numbers as the economy flourished even though “Globalization” had begun to alter world economic perspectives in response to the North American Free Trade Agreement that was enacted in 1994. By 1999, some of the unintended consequences of that treaty were being felt. If this current seething pace of economic growth sustains, the American economy could possibly grow at the outrageous pace of 2% in 2016. The melody that is echoing in the background is, “Happy days are here again, the skies above are clear again.” Though the nation has escaped the most urgent effects of the “Great Recession” many nagging problems have not disappeared. Manufacturing is recovering. Housing construction is showing signs of strength but is focused in selected neighborhoods. Real estate prices have shown strength but again, there are areas where foreclosures are still de-rigueur and the economies of those locales continue to suffer. According to Home Facts.com, the unemployment OBITUARIES rate in Belvidere hit 11.3% in January, 10% in February and remained static at 10% in March, 2016. Yet, local, state and federal elected officials are doing anything about this disability except to mandate non-gender defined restrooms while

continuing to sit on their hands. th Nothing is occurring at any government level to repair the economy. In Springfield elected officials cannot enact Gilmore, John, 57, Belvidere, April 30 a budget for a second year. The prime worry in Boone County today is over a proposed railroad instead of to repair a Henk, Robert, 89, Belvidere, May 8th foundering economy. The Irene Road interchange was supposed to spur a boom in the local economy but the result more Lepart, Helen, 76, Belvidere, May 16th resembles a sputtering firecracker than an explosion. th Repairing a disabled economy is hard work and most candidates running for office this year have no practical clue of Schultz, Craig, 58, Belvidere, May 12 how to revitalize the economy. Instead, the President and his Administration continues to avoid hard work as they play the back nine and mandate that boys can visit the girls room and vice-versa because 0.3% of the national population are uncertain about who they are. This is all a deception designed to avoid public scrutiny of the economy and to cover-up an inability at all levels to resolve economic problems that have gone on almost eight years. The advertised unemployment rate is 5% but the more accurate unemployment rate is nearer 10%. CNN Money reported in a February 6, 2016 piece, “Only 62% of adult Americans are working. This so-called Labor Force Participation rate hasn’t been this low since the late 1970’s.” That was during the Jimmy Carter Administration and the so-called “Energy Crisis.” The President has mandated that men and women may use the restroom of their choice and privacy will have to find another defender. There are some who have editorialized that labeling restrooms is in itself, a sexist act. Such is the status of this nation in 2016 where no one wants to do the hard work and would rather burnish the symbol. In America today, knowing a perception of the truth is far more important than to know the truth.

Mr. Walberg opened the discussion of the letter by introducing a member of the Rock County Board from Rock County, Wisconsin. The man, Alan Sweeny, has been in contact J with Mr. Walberg to find if the two counties could work together to voice their joint opposition to the proposed bypass. Mr. Sweeny spoke of the status of rail transportation in Rock County and across southern Wisconsin. He suggested that there are a number of smaller tracks that could O be refurbished and improved to handle heavier loads as a means to avoid engaging with the new plan that would lay 278-miles of track from southern Wisconsin, through Boone County, across northeastern Illinois and into northwest Indiana. U Mr. Sweeny said, “Rock County passed a resolution in opposition to the Great Lakes Basin Transportation LLC on environmental reasons. We need to address alternatives to the STB.” Mr. Sweeny then added his real purpose in coming to the County Board R meeting, “I want to ask that Rock County and Boone County work as partners on this report to the STB.” The discussion later shifted to more precise consideration of the language contained in N the letters. Mr. Terrinoni explained, “You have two versions of the letter. The first takes the Scoping Document and conforms to that style. The second version presents a little different approach and we thought that this version reads a little better.” Representatives of the STB came to Belvidere in April to meet with the community and A in that meetings, the needs of the STB to analyze this proposed rail plan were laid out. Mr. Terrinoni sought with the first version of the letter to conform to what the STB said they wanted to see in these reports from municipalities. L Some of the comments from members of the County Board included County representative Sherry Branson (District 3), who said, “I think the letter was soft.” 815 Ms. Ward added, “We are spending too much time on alternatives and not opposing this. This should be a Resolution and get this done.” 544-4430 One amendment was offered to add language to the letter to have the letter represent the views of Boone County and Rock County. That amendment failed by a vote of 7 No to 4 Yes. Another amendment was offered to add the language to the opening paragraph adding Job Opening Boone County Board and the community in opposition to the effort. That amendment was merged with a vote on the letter with the amended language added and that vote was 10 Yes with one vote No. The No vote was cast by County representative Sherry Gisecke (District The Boone County Journal is looking for a 1) who explained later that her opposition was not so much based on the content but more Delivery Driver. Assigned drop points in on the style of the letter. With approval, the letter will be submitted to the STB by/or before their June 15 deadline Belvidere area on Fridays only. for receipt of reports and letters from municipalities and private citizens. Those who live in Call David Larson at 815-544-4430 Boone County may submit their views to the Surface Transportation Board before the same June 15 deadline to have their document considered by members of the Board.
