(FROM THE ARTICLE: “This election cycle, I knew it was gonna be very difficult, I knew that early in 2017. Very, very difficult to win, this election cycle and over the course of the election I actually went to two women and two men who I knew well, two who were successful in elected office two who were very successful in business and in law, and asked them to run for governor,” he said. Rauner said all four, whose names he would not reveal, turned him down.)

— Teen quits Walmart job over the store’s intercom: ‘Attention all shoppers … nobody should work here — ever’- Michael Brice-Saddler (DIERSEN: My Democrat GAO superiors took adverse actions against me like they wanted me to sue them. They wanted current and potential GAO employees to see how they waste the careers of and get rid of their employees who complain about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and/or age discrimination. They forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my mentor in 1987, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take a $19,203 (26%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.)
