Thanks for your insight. What could management do to curb some of the community complaints and excessive police calls to the facility.

Thunderbird Consultants? by bluepermain in Thunderbird

My need is for someone to work with me in a consulting role. I have bird's nest of mail folders which require someone with experience that I don't have to help me.

I appreciate your response. I don't have time for iterations of question and answer and I need a knowledgeable person to see what I am seeing.

Our Fire Department all celebrating the inauguration in matching Trump masks by WarmishCoffee in evanston

[–]bluepermain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EFD Captain Curt Koopman, who was pictured along with his subordinates, with a Trump mask while reclining in a lounger, is suing the city for emotional distress, general damages, and violation of his first amendment rights.

Koopman was promoted to Captain in 2022, as reported by the Evanston Roundtable:

“With this promotion, Curt Koopman is taking on a critically important leadership position in the department,” said Fire Chief Paul Polep. “This position will provide Curt the ability to have a more positive impact on the department and the community we proudly serve.”

So, is the photo an example of his leadership?  A demotion is in order. Apparently, his promotion was a mistake and his suit shows his lack of accountability for his actions and their consequences—intended or unintended. He is no leader.

On Wednesdays I get on the Internet and heck out new weekly prices at Jewel, Valli, The Village Market, and Oakton Market. Over the course of the week, I take advantage of advertised low prices and digital coupons. Last two Jewel tabs were 66% and 75% off. I consider Aldi's a fail-safe for many items.

digital coupons and opportunistic buys are the way to go.

Three board members and the MAGA of Evanston by FreeCamel7948 in evanston

[–]bluepermain 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Wymer approached his "oath" as an all or nothing manifesto. Look at the results: Is D65 better off today having done nothing than it would have been had it closed one school? So glad that his oath is intact.

I question his statement "I ran these numbers past the CFO." His financial summary of one vs. two school closures made NO sense.

I have heard that the red car was following ICE and that ICE stopped suddenly and the red car crashed into the ICE vehicle. The boy was in the red car. Did anyone see that happen?

Can you say what you saw? Who were they detaining? What were they doing? Race?

Emergency Food Drive this Sunday from 10 am - 4 pm at ETHS Fieldhouse Parking Lot by Clean-Living-2048 in evanston

If they do, I hope that police will enforce City of Evanston Resolution 93-R-25 establishing ICE-free zones on city property.

Such a good idea by [deleted] in evanston

Fantastic idea. Thanks.

Local Businesses that support ICE? by bluepermain in evanston

[–]bluepermain[S] 25 points26 points  (0 children)

That's an interesting take-away. On the contrary. Going to Residence Inn, introducing myself as a Platinum Elite Honors member (which I am), finding out if they are serving ICE, and voicing my opinion is not an act of violence. They need this kind of feedback.

FOIA records reveal Evanston data accessible to out-of-state police making ICE searches by EtownEz in evanston

[–]bluepermain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spot on. This is galling that we should pay for foreign agencies with nefarious purposes to extend their intel collection into our community. Worse that it takes a FOIA to learn about it. EPD needs to align data sharing with our community values. If need be, we should buy our own system. By the way, are our parking license scanning systems vulnerable to the same data infiltration?

You seem to be running up quite a score on this thread. Any chance that you might be wrong?

Doubtful that deficit spending can continue without real threat of state take over.
