Pete Jansons first heard about Joe Severino when Joe spoke up at the last #115 School Board Meeting. Let's learn about Lake Forest's own Joe Severino for Congress Joseph (Joe) Severino, a resident of Lake Forest and Greek Orthodox Christian, is happily married to wife Nichole for 18 years. Together they have raised five children (Carmen, Joey, Alexa, Isabella, Arianna). Joe recently celebrated his 26th year in business as a hospitality service leader and is proud to have employed thousands of individuals over his career. The call to service is natural for Joe. In fact, while running his business, Joe went to law school and passed the California “Baby” bar exam for first year law students. Still looking to accomplish more, Joe applied and was accepted to Harvard Business School's prestigious OPM program. There he studied and graduated with 177 global leaders representing 38 countries. His greatest passion is giving back to the community. Joe started his company with a $1,000 loan from his father and has expertly navigated opportunities. Joe's mission is to take that experience and create similar opportunities in the district. Joe understands the American dream and his grandparents were immigrants from Greece and Italy, and his father was a Teamster union business organizer for 30 years. ISSUES: PRO-LIFE Joe is Pro-life and a believer in the sanctity of life in all stages. Joe would sign the born alive bill that would compel healthcare workers to render healthcare to any baby that survives an abortion. 2ND AMENDMENT Joe supports the second amendment and will fight to prevent illegal use of guns, as well as to take guns out of criminal hands. FREE SPEECH Joe believes all voices should be heard as free speech is guaranteed by the first amendment in our constitution. Currently there is an effort to stymie and quiet the speech of anyone other than radical ideologists. Additionally, Joe is against the anti-Semitic climate that is growing in America. POLICE REFORM Joe believes in police reform and opposes defunding police. Police should be better trained and governed with accountability, and they should patrol the communities in which they live. A police officer should feel free to report wrongdoing or abuse of power without fear of retaliation. Further, any officer who refrains from reporting wrongdoing should be terminated and logged in a national database to reinvigorate trust in policing. EQUAL RIGHTS Joe believes in equal rights for all. IMMIGRATION Joe believes in creating a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants that currently reside here. In addition, Joe believes in encouraging legal immigration which has made us a culturally rich nation. https://severinoforcongress.com/ Have an idea for a guest or topic? pete@lakeforestpodcast.com Support our show like Church of The Holy Spirit, Reverend Luke Back, and "Matt A" https://www.patreon.com/LakeForestPodcast --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lakeforestpodcast/message

Jane Addams Notes: Her Birthday is coming up 9-6 Jane Addams had close ties to early LF College, her brother-in-law an early staffer, and nephew an 1893 alum. She recruited here regularly for “residents” at Hull House, and in founding a Hull House clone in Philadelphia drew on a notable LF Univ. then alumna to start it up and do as she had done in Chicago. Anna Freeman Davis, 1889, 1894 MA LFU. Etc. Also, her big backer with her uncle Hull's house was real estate tycoon-ess, Helen Culver. In 1900 Culver bought the land for and built the first Waukegan Rd. Estate, her house still on Ash Lawn, west off Waukegan a couple of blocks north of Deerpath. The house was designed by Pond & Pond, the architects at Hull House's campus—probably much funded by Miss culver. J. Ogden Armour started buying land south in 1904, and A.

Skoo Walker, Arthur Miller, and Pete Jansons discuss the email Pete sent out 8-10-21 which asked for feedback on the Lake Forest Caucus Committee Problem: It's becoming harder to find volunteers for the Lake Forest Caucus Committee. (Voting residents of Lake Forest) Invitations to participate are being turned down. No Volunteers means no Caucus committee. Objections. It's Political with a liberal bent, its groupthink, “Boys Club”, Clique, and “Insiders Only” They don't know what it is, and Current Caucus Committee members cannot overcome objections while explaining what the Caucus is. Objection #1: t's Political with a liberal bent, it's groupthink, “Boys Club”, Clique, and “Insiders Only” Possible Reasons: The LFCC Executive Committee (LFCCEC) is formed by the LFCC President selecting who she wants for Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary, Fundraising Chair, External Communications, Internal Communications and the 4 ward chairmen. The Vice President from the prior year automatically becomes the President. It could be perceived that the president can surround herself with people she knows and likes. LFCC members are presented with a list of LFCCEC members to vote on in March with no information LFCC is a 3-year term for first-year LFCC members who don't want to “make waves” and vote with who the LFCCEC puts on the card. LFCC is a PAC and the LFCC including the LFCCEC cannot explain what it is The current LFCCEC President and Vice President are not held to the same attendance standard as the LFCC. School Board Candidates were determined by a Task Force selected by the President versus letting the entire LFCC presenting candidates. Cannot afford to make donations (2020 Caucus Committee was asked to donate and would be recognized in front of the Caucus Committee) Solution: The LFCC Executive Committee should be vetted by the LFCC. The LFCC should have a nomination process for all positions in LFCCEC. Determine interest within LFCC for each position to be nominated Nominees are vetted by LFCC LFCC Nominates candidates to be on the election in March Positions that handle money should be additionally vetted (Treasurer and Fundraising Chair) Objection #2: The LFC (residents and small businesses) don't know what the LFC or LFCC is and LFCC members cannot overcome objections while explaining what the Caucus is. Possible Reasons: Resources are put on dealing with situations after the fact versus preventing them (education public on LFCC process versus spending on lawn signs) There is no onboarding process for members Bylaws have not been updated for 3 months. Cannot explain why it's a PACT The Lake Forest Caucus (The voting residents of Lake Forest) do not understand the selection process for example, one candidate on the “Let's Do Better” Slate wanted to pitch in and be on the School Board and didn't know about the Process Solution: More Scrutiny and oversight to External and Internal Communications Funds/Marketing for prevention vs Contest Elections.

Arthur Miller schools Pete Jansons again in "Art Class" Here are Art's notes from the show: With the 150th anniversary year of the Chicago Fire, in early October 1871. If you want to get a feel for pre-Fire Chicago's north side of river garden estates district, destroyed the Fire, visit east Lake Forest along Deerpath and Sheridan. The earliest institutional building is the March 1859 opened Academy boarding house, built by Sylvester Lind; by 1867 at least this was a private home, moved ca. 1869 to its current location, 725 N. Sheridan Rd. It was later modified ca. 1890 by J. W. Root (Burnham & Root) and by Frost & Granger 1907, but much in its pre-Civil War, pre-Fire condition. More like that for 570 and 660 Sheridan, 644 E. Deerpath, 550 E. Deerpath with its stable now north of driveway on Presbyterian Church property. Also 797 Sheridan including 1859 first store, etc. Lost, the summer 1871 hotel on the lake, now the location of the newly bought Schweppe house, the last diner served the Sunday night of the Fire. As early college building, 1876-77, it burned December 1877. Many families made their way here after the Fire, notably the various Durand siblings in the grocery business. Also livery driver, Union soldier/veteran, and former slave Samuel Dent. Have an idea for a topic or guest? pete@lakeforestpodcast.com Want to buy us a beer?

Philippe Melin joined Skoo Walker, Lori Fitzgerald, and Pete Jansons to discuss the #115 School Board Campaign and to perform an autopsy without blame of everyone involved. Ideas for a topic or guest? pete@lakeforestil.blog ****Full disclosure Pete Jansons is on the Caucus Volunteer Committee. I am an advocate of the Caucus and am trying to educate the community so we have more people volunteering to pitch in. I am not a Caucus or City Government expert. I do my best to bring on experts to educate all of us. Heads up we will make mistakes on the show and we will not edit our guest's comments. We will post corrections in chat and welcome people to come on the show to correct us. Pete screwed up on the Joanna Marshall show when he said it’s a ward task to interview for school board. It’s a sub-committee of all the wards who do the interviewing. It’s a fine line doing this show offering suggestions for improvement and coming across anti-Caucus. IF we didn’t have the caucus to do the interviewing then we would d have board seats going to the people with the most money. We recently had Lori Fitzgerald and Joanna Marshall apply for Caucus thank you! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lakeforestil/message
Joanna Marshall stopped by to chat with Skoo Walker, Pete Jansons, and new Co-Host Lori Fitzgerald. She talked about her experience running on the contested School Board Slate for District 115 Quotes: " I will apply for the Caucus next year for Ward 3" "I'm not anti-Caucus, we are all part of the Caucus" "who is going to want to volunteer if they have to go through a smear campaign" Notes: Skoo made a suggestion for the School Board vetting to start with the whole Caucus not at the ward level. The thinking is that let the most amount of people get the exposure to the one person versus just 9 people Vet donations to Caucus over a certain $ amount Cancel Culture Paranoid Game YAY/NAY? I'm sure we got something wrong on this show. Please correct us pete@lakeforestIL.blog --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lakeforestil/message
