The [Tuesday] Papers"Gov. Bruce Rauner on Monday vetoed legislation that would have applied many workplace anti-discrimination requirements to businesses with a single employee or more," the Tribune reports. The governor said the existing threshold of applying the rules to businesses with 15 workers or more was consistent with federal law. If I'm an employer, I might be encouraged to discriminate against hiring a 15th employee! * You can see who voted which way here - click on third readings. Therapy Game-Changer The program, which began in 2016, is part of a new wave of concentrated, intensive therapy programs for psychiatric disorders. The Child Mind Institute in New York launched a two-day "boot camp" for teens with social anxiety last year. The Houston O.C.D. Program in Texas operated its first weeklong treatment program for adolescents during spring break for local schools. I've always said I wanted to see a therapist and, instead of going once a week for a year or however long it took me to get to everything, just spew out the entirety of my issues over a couple days and be done with it in a week. That should be the new model, people! The River Trump "The president's glass-and-steel skyscraper is one of the city's largest users of river water for its cooling systems, siphoning nearly 20 million gallons a day through intakes so powerful the machines could fill an Olympic swimming pool in less than an hour, then pumping the water back into the river up to 35 degrees hotter. "Madigan's lawsuit, filed late Monday in Cook County Circuit Court, accuses building managers of failing to meet several requirements in a state permit intended to limit the number of fish pinned against intake screens or killed by sudden changes in pressure and temperature. "Trump Tower also failed to properly renew its permit and has been operating the building's massive cooling system unlawfully for nearly a year, according to the lawsuit." Wait, what? Is that impeachable? * Omarosa had no comment. Fatal Wilmette Harbor Explosion "According to police, the two men were refueling the two-engine boat just before the explosion at approximately 8 a.m. at the Sheridan Shores Yacht Club. "The driver started one engine, but the second engine misfired and started on a second attempt. According to investigators, the boat exploded upon that second attempt. "Police said the explosion appears to be accidental." * "The Illinois Department of Natural Resources and the state fire marshal's office are investigating," the Tribune reports. Montgomery's Anger "That anger pervaded my life for years. It is an anger born of racism and white supremacy. I found it unbearable then as I do now. Anger is a disabling emotion. It became my comfort level and impacted important family and other relationships. Fortunately, with therapy, I am not as angry as I once was." As my late great friend Blaise Schweitzer would say, though, sometimes anger is the correct response. * Montgomery, who represented the Blackstone Rangers: "The gang problem is a by-product of the evils of white supremacy. Lack of equal opportunities, lack of self-esteem, the destruction of the black family unit all conjoin to perpetuate the gang problem. Government policies condone and create these outcomes. We tend to blame the victim and ignore the role of the victimizer." * I've said it before and I'll say it again: Those teenage shooters are victims too. - New on the Beachwood . . .
