PROBLEM: 2018 Winter Olympics: Mike Pence tweets '#FAKENEWS' on report about skater Adam Rippon
At about the same time as Pence took to Twitter  a White House official was explaining to reporters traveling with the vice president to South Korea that  Pence 's team did contact the U.S. Olympic Committee. But the vice president's office was offering— not requesting — a meeting with Rippon and wanted to give the skater as much space as possible. The official declined to be identified.
Columnist Christine Brennan reported on Wednesday that  Pence  had become so concerned about criticism he faced from Rippon  an openly gay athlete  that his staff reached out to the USOC to set up a conversation between the two.
Headed to the Olympics to cheer on #TeamUSA. One reporter trying to distort 18 yr old nonstory to sow seeds of division. We won’t let that happen! #FAKENEWS. Our athletes are the best in the world and we are for ALL of them! #TEAMUSA — Vice President Mike Pence (@VP) February 8  2018
.@Adaripp I want you to know we are FOR YOU. Don’t let fake news distract you. I am proud of you and ALL OF OUR GREAT athletes and my only hope for you and all of #TeamUSA is to bring home the gold. Go get ‘em! — Vice President Mike Pence (@VP) February 8  2018
“ You mean Mike Pence  the same Mike Pence that funded gay conversion therapy ? I’m not buying  it  ” Rippon responded.
Around the same time that  Pence  sent out his two tweets over the reports about his spat with Rippon  a White House official confirmed that the vice president's chief of staff Nick Ayers called U.S. Olympic Committee CEO Scott Blackmun after Rippon had initially criticized  Pence  last month.
Rippon’s criticism of  Pence  was over language on a campaign website that some LGBT activists say shows that as a congressman the vice president had supported gay conversion therapy.
Ayers told Blackmun that the criticism of  Pence  was untrue and that he never supported gay conversion therapy  the White House official told reporters. When the issue surfaced during the 2016 presidential campaign   Pence 's then press secretary  Marc Lotter  also denied that  Pence  supported the policy.
Ayers offered to have someone from the vice president's team explain to Rippon the confusion over  Pence 's stance. Ayers also said that  Pence  would meet with Rippon or speak with him over the phone if he preferred  the White House official said.

PROBLEM: Outgoing Gov. Chris Christie  said Tuesday that New Jersey needed "tough and plain-spoken leadership" when  he  took office eight years ago and  he  delivered it  pulling the state from "the brink of financial ruin" by confronting problems leaders of both parties had ignored for decades.
 Christie  hands over state government to Democrat Phil Murphy in a week.
 Christie  said  he  was the first governor in America to try to tackle the huge and escalating burden of state pension costs  saying previous governors from both parties and Legislatures "virtually ignored the growing menace of increased costs and no real contributions." Among the steps taken during  his  administration was dedicating lottery proceeds to the pension system for the next 30 years.
When  he  took office   Christie  said  New Jersey was "on the brink of financial ruin as a state."
"We needed tough and plain-spoken leadership to deal with these problems "  he  said.
 He  said  he  vetoed more than $7 billion in spending  helped cut the state workforce  pushed through a cap on property tax increases and  at the same time  made sure the state invested heavily to help protect the New Jersey Shore from the kind of devastation it suffered during Superstorm Sandy in 2012.
The prepared text of  his  remarks didn't show  him  invoking the name of  his  friend  President Donald Trump. But  he  called it an "honor" to chair the White House's opioid commission.
 Christie 's speech caps  his  stint as one of America's best-known governors.
 He  was on the cover of Time magazine under the headline "The Boss" and a periodic guest on late-night television  where  he  memorably appeared in a skit about "dad dancing" with Jimmy Fallon and poked fun at  his  weight by eating a doughnut on David Letterman's show.
At least in the beginning   he  won acclaim for  his  forthrightness  like when  he  told beachcombers to "get the hell off the beach" in 2011 during Hurricane Irene.  He  told it like it was before Trump brought the practice to the White House.
 He  also was exceedingly popular and widely praised for guiding the state in its recovery from Superstorm Sandy  which ravaged the coastline.  He  was briefly seen as a top GOP contender for president.
But  he  was also criticized for testy exchanges with the public during town hall meetings and other encounters.
 His  popularity and job approval fell sharply  particularly after the George Washington Bridge lane closure scandal in which three of  his  allies were convicted in a political retribution scheme.  He  also lost the home crowd after spending much of 2015 and early 2016 campaigning for president out of state  a contest  he  dropped out of after failing to emerge from the back of the pack.
 He  returned to New Jersey and focused on the state's â and country's â opioid addiction crisis after failing to get a top job in the Trump administration. A regular theme in  his  remarks around the state included "second chances " and the idea that people can make a comeback.

PROBLEM: As frigid air temperatures and wintry conditions move into the area for the season  a key part of the work that Justine Janis does at the Evanston Public Library becomes even more critical: working with homeless individuals.
"As it started getting colder there were new faces  new people coming in " said  Justine Janis  an employee of Presence Behavioral Health who is assigned to the main library in downtown Evanston .
Since then  she 's become a go-to for librarians and other staff who typically are the first contact for patrons as they enter the halls of the library  whether in need for a place to warm up or assistance in another way.
At a training in October  where  Janis  discussed the needs of and best ways to communicate with homeless patrons  staff described  Janis  as a lynch pin who can help them connect visitors in need with the public and social services that can help them.
About 25 libraries nationwide employ social workers  and the small-but-growing group holds a regular conference call to discuss the issues they're facing and brainstorm ways to address them  among other concerns   Janis  said.
But it's harder to help homeless patrons when there are limited overnight shelters in Evanston to refer them to   Janis  said.  She  hopes the interfaith group will consider opening on nights that drop to 20 degrees  but knows finding volunteers to staff those overnight shifts is hard.
