HEADLINE: Lessons from the Swiss National Bank: Risk-Taking, Exchange Rates, and Fiscal Responsibility GUEST NAME: John Cochrane SUMMARY: Economist John Cochrane analyzes the Swiss National Bank (SNB), noting it differs greatly from the US Federal Reserve by investing heavily in foreign stocks and bonds to manage the Swiss franc's exchange rate. The SNB's massive balance sheet carries risks accepted by Swiss taxpayers and the Cantons. Switzerland, being fiscally responsible (running no budget deficits), finds central banking easier. Cochrane advises that the US Fed should not be buying stocks or venturing into fiscal policy. 1890 SWISS

Dave sits down with Mayor Elizabeth Davies to discuss the future of the iconic "glass building." Mayor Davies shares insights into the property's sale, the village's role in redevelopment, and the importance of community input. She emphasizes transparency, fiscal responsibility, and realistic expectations as Grayslake plans for downtown's future.  Redeveloping Grayslake's Glass Building: A Blueprint for Community-Driven Growth Grayslake's downtown is at a pivotal moment. The recent sale of the iconic “glass building” (also known as the TNT glass building) has sparked excitement, curiosity, and a flurry of conversation among residents. In a recent episode of the “Discovering Grayslake” podcast, host Dave sat down with Mayor Elizabeth Davies to discuss the future of this landmark property, the village's approach to redevelopment, and the vital role of community engagement in shaping Grayslake's next chapter. This blog post dives deep into the main themes and actionable insights from their conversation, offering a comprehensive guide for residents, business owners, and anyone invested in Grayslake's future. Table of Contents Understanding the Village's Role in Redevelopment Zoning: Setting the Stage, Not Picking the Players Balancing Vision with Realism: The Mayor's Approach Community Engagement: Turning Passion into Progress Fiscal Responsibility and Long-Term Planning Transparency, Communication, and Building Trust Actionable Takeaways for Residents and Stakeholders Conclusion: A Shared Vision for Grayslake's Future Understanding the Village's Role in Redevelopment Key Insight:   The village is not a developer or a landlord—it's a steward of the community's vision. Mayor Davies clarified a common misconception: the village does not handpick which businesses move into specific properties. Instead, its role is to: Establish Zoning Regulations:** These define what types of businesses are allowed in certain areas. Guide, Not Dictate:** The village “sets the table” for private investment, ensuring that new developments align with the community's character and needs. Facilitate, Not Control:** While the village can influence the process, especially for high-profile properties like the glass building, it cannot guarantee specific outcomes. Actionable Advice:   If you're a resident or business owner, understand that your local government's power is in creating a welcoming environment and clear guidelines—not in micromanaging every storefront. Zoning: Setting the Stage, Not Picking the Players Key Insight:   Zoning is about creating a framework, not choosing tenants. Mayor Davies explained that zoning laws are designed to: Encourage Diversity:** Any business that fits within the zoning category (e.g., general business) can open, as long as it meets the requirements. Prevent Overreach:** The village cannot (and should not) prevent similar businesses (like multiple coffee shops or salons) from opening if they comply with zoning. Support Vibrancy:** A healthy mix of businesses contributes to a lively downtown. Nuanced Considerations: Market Forces Matter:** Even with zoning, the ultimate mix of businesses is shaped by market demand and private investment. Community Input:** While the village can't pick winners, it can use community feedback to inform future zoning updates and strategic planning. Expert Tip:   If you want to influence the types of businesses in your community, support local entrepreneurs, participate in public forums, and share your ideas with village officials. Balancing Vision with Realism: The Mayor's Approach Key Insight:   Aim high, but appreciate incremental progress. Mayor Davies is enthusiastic about the glass building's potential, drawing inspiration from iconic markets like Pike Place (Seattle) and Faneuil Hall (Boston). However, she's also realistic: Grayslake's Scale:** With a population of 21,000, Grayslake faces different opportunities and constraints than major cities. Measured Expectations:** The goal is a “home run,” but even a solid “RBI” (a baseball metaphor for a positive, if not spectacular, outcome) is a win for the community. Redevelopment Takes Time:** The process is in its early stages, with at least two years expected before major changes. Actionable Advice: Stay Patient:** Redevelopment is a marathon, not a sprint. Expect thorough assessments, community input, and careful planning. Celebrate Small Wins:** Every step forward—whether it's a new business, a community event, or a beautification project—adds up to long-term vitality. Community Engagement: Turning Passion into Progress Key Insight:   Community input is not just welcomed—it's essential. Mayor Davies and Dave both emphasized the importance of: Active Listening:** The village values comments, ideas, and concerns shared on social media and in public meetings. Direct Communication:** Residents are encouraged to reach out via email or attend board meetings for more effective dialogue. Shared Vision:** Community conversations help shape the village's approach and ensure that redevelopment reflects local values. Best Practices for Engagement: Be Constructive:** Share your ideas respectfully and thoughtfully. Get Involved:** Attend meetings, join advisory committees, or volunteer for local initiatives. Stay Informed:** Subscribe to local newsletters and podcasts like “Discovering Grayslake” to stay up-to-date. Expert Tip:   Effective engagement is a two-way street. Officials need to listen, but residents also need to participate actively and positively. Fiscal Responsibility and Long-Term Planning Key Insight:   Sound financial management creates opportunities for bold action. Mayor Davies highlighted that: No New Debt:** The village's strong financial position allowed it to purchase the glass building outright. Prudent Planning:** Before making major investments (like demolition or redevelopment), the village will conduct thorough assessments and cost analyses. Private Partnerships:** The focus is on attracting private investment to maximize the property's potential and minimize taxpayer risk. Actionable Advice: Ask Questions:** If you're curious about village finances, attend budget meetings or review public documents. Support Responsible Growth:** Advocate for projects that balance ambition with fiscal prudence. Transparency, Communication, and Building Trust Key Insight:   Open, honest communication builds community trust. Mayor Davies is committed to: Transparency:** Sharing updates, answering questions, and clarifying misconceptions. Education:** Helping residents understand complex issues like zoning, redevelopment, and municipal finance. Accessibility:** Inviting direct contact and encouraging participation in public processes. How You Can Help: Stay Curious:** Don't hesitate to ask questions or seek clarification. Spread the Word:** Share accurate information with neighbors and friends. Practice Kindness:** As Dave reminded listeners, simple acts of courtesy and understanding go a long way in building a stronger community. Actionable Takeaways for Residents and Stakeholders Engage Early and Often:** Your input matters—get involved in public discussions and share your vision for Grayslake. Understand the Process:** Redevelopment is complex and takes time. Stay patient and informed. Support Local Businesses:** A vibrant downtown depends on thriving local enterprises—shop local and spread the word. Advocate for Transparency:** Encourage open communication between officials and residents. Celebrate Community Spirit:** Grayslake's greatest asset is its people. Foster unity through kindness, respect, and shared purpose. Conclusion: A Shared Vision for Grayslake's Future The redevelopment of the glass building is more than a real estate project—it's a reflection of Grayslake's values, aspirations, and community spirit. As Mayor Davies and Dave discussed, the path forward will require patience, collaboration, and a willingness to dream big while staying grounded in reality. By embracing transparency, fiscal responsibility, and robust community engagement, Grayslake is poised to turn this opportunity into a lasting legacy. Whether you're a lifelong resident, a new neighbor, or a local business owner, your voice and your actions will help shape the next chapter of downtown Grayslake. Stay tuned, stay involved, and let's build a future we can all be proud of—together.

Host Scott Broady sits down with longtime Beaconsfield resident and mayoral candidate Greg Orleski to unpack how the city can evolve without losing what makes it special. The conversation covers growth, fiscal management, transparency at City Hall, densification around transit, and practical ways to fund infrastructure while protecting Beaconsfield's green character and small-town feel.Why Beaconsfield Matters to GregGreg shares why he chose Beaconsfield 25 years ago—nature, fresh air, water access, community spirit, and quality of life—and why those pillars are non-negotiable. His goal is to preserve them while guiding thoughtful, resident-driven change.A Vision for Growth Without Losing Our SoulGreg supports modernizing amenities and creating a vibrant cultural hub near Centennial Park and Lord Reading, while ensuring the park's trees and beach stay intact. He emphasizes projects that enhance community life, keep the village feel, and attract small businesses without turning Beaconsfield into a high-rise city.Fiscal Responsibility and New Revenue PathsWith a primarily residential tax base, Greg outlines a pragmatic approach: optimize city-owned assets like Centennial Hall and the rec center for revenue, aggressively pursue provincial and federal grants with ready-to-execute plans, and use partnerships and shared services with neighboring cities to reduce costs and stretch every dollar further.Transparency, Communication, and TrustGreg argues that communication is the foundation of good governance. He proposes a multi-platform strategy—regular town halls, open Q&As, Zoom sessions, and plain-language updates—so residents understand context before decisions are made. He favors opening caucus discussions to the public whenever legally possible, and clearly explaining any confidentiality limits.Smart Densification, Not High RisesGreg supports low-rise, human-scale housing near transit and key corridors such as St-Charles and Elm. The aim is to create options for right-sizers and young adults who want to stay local, while blending architecture with existing neighborhoods and encouraging mixed-use areas that support walkability and local shops.Safeguards for Development and Lessons LearnedReferencing stalled or problematic projects, Greg stresses early community dialogue, sensible developer conditions, practical and enforceable contracts, and ongoing monitoring. He highlights resilience standards that reflect today's climate realities, so new builds and infrastructure can handle heavier storms and flooding.A Faster, Clearer Path for Homeowners and BuildersGreg wants a permit process that is predictable and time-bound. He suggests clear visual design guides by neighborhood, pre-submission meetings to align before filing, and published review timelines—protecting Beaconsfield's character while reducing costly back-and-forth for residents and contractors.Collaboration That Delivers ResultsDrawing on his nonprofit leadership and coalition-building work in the West Island, Greg explains how shared vision, diverse partners, and grant readiness can unlock ambitious community projects. He believes these same tactics can fund Beaconsfield's recreation upgrades and infrastructure needs sooner, not later.Negotiating the Agglomeration DisputeWith decades of complex litigation experience, Greg favors pursuing negotiated outcomes that bring money back to Beaconsfield earlier—without abandoning the city's claims—so funds can be reinvested into community priorities while avoiding years of uncertainty.Community Engagement Beyond Election SeasonGreg envisions ongoing conversations with residents—online and in person—so participation becomes habitual, not episodic. He wants the city to proactively invite...

In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano sits down with Mark Meckler, President of the Convention of States, to explore the growing disconnect between the American people and their government. He explains why Americans no longer trust government and how to fix it. As public trust continues to erode, Meckler breaks down how entrenched bureaucracy, unpunished corruption, and an unaccountable political class have warped the system beyond recognition. They also discuss the potential of third-party movements like Elon Musk's and why the Convention of States may be the only real solution to restore constitutional principles, enforce term limits, and rein in runaway spending. Episode Highlights: The Convention of States offers a constitutional path to implement term limits, enforce fiscal restraints, and shrink the federal bureaucracy. Elon Musk's rumored third-party movement could fracture the GOP and reshape political coalitions. America's unelected bureaucratic class now functions as an unaccountable fourth branch of government.

In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano sits down with Anthony Constantino, CEO of Sticker Mule, to dissect the growing dysfunction in government and how it's impacting American business and politics. From the damaging effects of Democrat extremism in New York City to the barriers faced by entrepreneurs trying to support their communities, Constantino offers sharp insight into the state of the economy, the future of American manufacturing, and the role of leaders like Congresswoman Elise Stefanik. They also explore why the so-called Big Beautiful Bill demands scrutiny, and how fiscal irresponsibility in Congress has led to bloated bureaucracy and resistance to real reform. Episode Highlights: How government overreach is strangling small businesses and stifling innovation Why Anthony Constantino believes Elise Stefanik could revive New York The Big Beautiful Bill: Why complexity and bureaucracy keep failing Americans

In this special Fourth of July episode, we're talking about The Big Beautiful Bill—yes, it passed, and yes, it's time to get on board. While I normally support smaller, single-issue legislation (so we can actually see what's in these bills), there's still a lot to be excited about here. From major investments in border security to a strong push toward deporting illegal immigrants, this bill takes some long-overdue steps in the right direction.Sure, there are parts that could've been better—and no surprise, Elon Musk isn't thrilled because it didn't personally benefit him as much as he hoped—but overall, I agree with the majority of what's in it.Tune in as we break down the good and the bad inside The Big Beautiful Bill—and what it means for the future of our country.Happy Fourth of July, and let's keep America strong.

Congressman Chip Roy on Fiscal Responsibility

B”H This week on Jewish Money Matter's Ask Yael, Yael tackles the mix up of the feminine and masculine energies that happens when women are carrying the financial burden of supporting their households, one that G-d assigned to men. Yael also addresses factoring financial considerations when deciding to have more children, or not.

In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano breaks down the “One Big Beautiful Bill” that just passed the House and now goes to the Senate through budget reconciliation. While the bill offers some middle-class tax relief, work requirements, and border enforcement, it fails on fiscal responsibility, limited government, and bureaucratic overreach.

While Elon Musk and his "Department of Government Efficiency" are slashing areas of federal spending to combat the current national debt ($36 trillion) and the current fiscal year's deficit ($711 billion), we remember going through something similar back in 2010: Simpson-Bowles, known as "The National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform." There were 12 members of Congress and 6 private citizens on the commission. In the end, they failed to get the required super-majority vote to advance their recommendations to Congress. Michael today speaks with Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), who sat on the committee, and voted against the commission's recommendations 15 years ago. Then, hear from the audience on the current fiscal state of the United States. Original air date 7 February 2025.

Last week, United States presidential candidates Kamala Harris and Donald Trump delivered hour-long speeches outlining their economic policies for the country if they win in November. This week on a special episode of Capitalisn't, Bethany and Luigi weigh in on the candidates' economic proposals. What makes this discussion particularly urgent is that neither candidate is espousing a traditional Republican or Democratic platform. Further, despite the length of their respective speeches, there were few specifics. Instead, both candidates are running on "vibes" more than detailed manifestos. With just under five weeks to go before Election Day, Bethany and Luigi sift through the proposals around taxes, tariffs, price gouging, and the “Opportunity Economy,” helping us separate the substance from the slogans.
