Herald News: Mayor Terry D’Arcy addresses the public saying he did not approve, agree to or sign a grant agreement to help asylum seekers at the Joliet City Council Meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 3, 2023 in Joliet. (Gary Middendorf/Gary Middendorf)

Over the course of several weeks, Joliet Mayor Terry D’Arcy and the City Council engaged in a highly visible effort to decline an $8.6 million grant offered by Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, intended to support organizations offering services to asylum-seekers in the Joliet/Plainfield region.

Joliet and Plainfield, neighboring areas within Will County, Illinois, sharing a significant border and belonging to the same metropolitan and media region. From the start of October, a divisive and negative campaign has been the prominent focus of local news and social media.

Mayor Terry D’Arcy alleged that Township Supervisor Angel Contreras had acted in a way that was almost fraudulent for failing to communicate about the grant. Subsequently, it was revealed that the city had indeed been informed, and the Mayor's statement was found to be untrue.

For weeks, this matter took center stage in local news and on social media, becoming the primary topic of discussion throughout the community. Supporters faced criticism, harassment, and the usual right wing threats of violence.

On Friday Oct 13, Mayor D’Arcy and his goons prevailed. Joliet Township pulled out of the Grant.

On Saturday Oct 14, right wing nut job Joseph Czuba took matters into his own hands and stabbed six year old Wadea Al-Fayoume and his mother Hanan Shaheen.

The Mayor and Councilman Larry Hug laid the groundwork with their anti-immigrant language and endeavors to declare Joliet a 'non-sanctuary city.' The conflict in the Middle East pushed Czuba beyond his limits.

Unprecedented demand for coal results in urgent North Pole plea. ‘We need all the coal, every piece!” said spokesman A. Snowball. The sharp rise in demand caught North Pole officials completely by surprise. “Our projections were an absolute disaster this year” said Snowball, “with full production, we just might meet demand for our North American market by December 24th”.

Step 1. Remove the residency requirement.

All schools require 1-2 years of classes at that school no matter how many total credits you've taken. I can understand that Harvard would not want you drop in for one class and then claim you have a Harvard degree. Fine. If you meet the credit requirements, but not the residency requirements, issue a non-school affiliated degree, a G.E.B.

Step 2. Establish a national curriculum standard for courses required for G.E.B. majors.

Just expand the General Education Requirements are already in place for a two year degree/transfer. Require the GRE general and subject area to graduate.

Step 3. Accredit free and low cost online class options for all coursework required for a G.E.B.

Lecture sections on YouTube. Pick your professor. Feynman for Engineering Physics? Neil deGrasse Tyson for astronomy? Maybe Tim Wilson for Philosophy 101?

Lab sections by simulation, kit, or maker space at community colleges. Discussion sessions by Skype, UberConference, or Meetup.

Tests proctored by the same system used for online high school classes given by BYU (which if you have a H.S. kid, are awesome). A proctor can be a teacher or librarian. Tests are sent to the proctor, given under supervision, then returned by the proctor. Or setup testing centers at community colleges.

A degree becomes affordable by breaking up the University cartel. removing rules designed to protect the institution at the expense of the students.

I just sent $27 to Hillary Clinton!

The IRS gave over 6 billion dollars to 'identity' thieves in 2011. With only a social security number, it was open season on the US tax payer. No other verification was required. Nothing. Not even the name had to match. One crook in Michigan filed 3 thousand tax returns for over 3 million dollars in refunds, all to the same address.
