— Democrats acknowledge that “Ahead of Labor Day, Illinois House Speaker Emanuel ‘Chris’ Welch’s staff say he’s rebuffed their efforts to unionize.” GAO did not unionize until 2007. If GAO had been unionized in 1997, I might still be a GAO employee and if GAO had been unionized in 1980 when I transferred from IRS to GAO, my Democrat GAO superiors might not have succeeded in taking the many adverse actions against me that they did. In 1974, the National Treasury Employees Union came to my defense when my Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my travel vouchers. SEE: https://www.gao.gov/products/b-180010.11 My critics/opponents despise if not hate unions and union members. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. Of course, they hint/imply/argue/shout that if IRS had not been unionized, IRS would not have promoted me in 1972, 1973, or 1974. In my defense, the IRS manager who promoted me those three times gave weight to the fact that I had started taking job-related graduate evening business courses at Loyola in 1972 and earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. Virtually none of my coworkers did anything like that.

— Illinois has always taken the lead in promoting Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, that is, Illinois has always taken the lead in promoting patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. The Democrats who ran GAO’s Chicago office in 1980, IRS’s Chicago office in 1971, and the Park Forest Post Office in 1966 hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the jobs. Neither my parents, my grandparents, nor any of my ancestors were government employees. Nothing indicates that I would ever had been a postal employee if my high school friend had not asked be to join him in taking the postal employment examination in Harvey in 1966. That led to my taking and passing the Federal Service Entrance Examination in 1970. That led to my accepting a job offer from IRS in 1971 because my Chicago Heights Firestone Store boss fired me because I told him that I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile. But Oldsmobile withdrew that offer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint.

— Illinois Blacks’ Votes Have Not Seen Results from Democratic Party Politicians (COMMENT: Democrats run the federal government. GAO works for Congress. I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997. To curry votes with Blacks, Democrats can stress how my Democrat GAO superiors wasted my career and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old so that they could give my Black subordinate my job and my preferred corner office which is exactly what they did.)

ILLINOIS REVIEW
— Keith Pekau Using Democratic Playbook, Targets IR Publisher, Constituents with Baseless Election Board Complaint to Intimidate, Silence Political Enemies
https://www.illinoisreview.com/illinoisreview/2023/09/breaking-keith-pekau-using-democratic-playbook-targets-ir-publisher-constituents-with-baseless-election-board-complaint-to-intimidate-silence-political-enemies.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Taking a page out of embattled President Joe Biden’s political playbook, Orland Park Mayor Keith Pekau now has initiated lawfare against his top political rival, IR Publisher Scott Kaspar. Last night, on a Friday evening, just before this Labor Day weekend, Kaspar was served by Pekau’s cousin with a complaint signed by Pekau’s Mayor Pro-Tem and Orland Township committeewoman, Cindy Katsenes. The complaint was filed by Katsenes’ husband, Orland Park real estate lawyer Chris Katsenes. Friday’s complaint against an Illinois Review owner marks the fulfillment of a threat first launched by IL GOP officials on April 7, 2023 – Good Friday – and carried out by several others connected with IL GOP leadership over the Easter holiday weekend. Pekau has curried favor with IL GOP state central committee members Jeanne Ives and Sean Morrison, both of whom had endorsed Pekau in his failed congressional run last year. Ives, along with RNC national committeeman Richard Porter, were special guests invited by Katsenes to a get-out-the-vote rally just before the April 4th consolidated elections. Pekau and Katsenes would see sweeping losses on April 4th, including 9 of their 10 endorsed candidates and a failed referendum in which two-thirds of the voters rejected Pekau’s attempted power grab to become a strong mayor like Chicago. Katsenes’ complaint against the IR Publisher alleges various infractions for a mail piece endorsing Katsenes and others for re-election to the Orland Park village board put out by Kaspar and former Cook County commissioner and former Orland Township committeewoman Elizabeth Doody Gorman.)
