SPRINGFIELD STATE JOURNAL REGISTER
— More cameras, police will watch downtown bar crowd this weekend – Mary Hansen (DIERSEN: How problematic is the “bar crowd” in your municipality? Virtually all my critics/opponents, their operatives, and dupes are heavy drinkers or want to be heavy drinkers.)
http://www.sj-r.com/news/20170210/more-cameras-police-will-watch-downtown-bar-crowd-this-weekend
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The stepped-up patrol is in response to recent fights near late-night bars. “Hopefully, it’ll serve as a deterrent to any devious behavior and capture any issues there might be,” said Chief Kenny Winslow. The bars came under scrutiny after a video of a fight New Year’s Eve surfaced on social media and was aired on local television news. Police also reported a stabbing that took place downtown in the early morning hours last weekend. Bar owners, police and city officials have been discussing ways to address the issues, including adding more patrol officers and upgrading the city’s surveillance camera system.)

AMERICAN THINKER
— A Federalist Solution to the Federal Bureaucracy – Fred Gentry (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always promoted patronage. Because I have always been a Republican, were it not for federal civil service protections, a) the Post Office would NOT have hired me in 1966 or let me work there for almost 3 years, b) IRS would NOT have hired me in 1971 or let me work there for almost 9 years, c) IRS would NOT have promoted me in 1972, 1973, or 1974, d) GAO would NOT have hired me in 1980 or let me work there for almost 18 years, and d) GAO would NOT have promoted me in 1986.)
http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2017/02/a_federalist_solution_to_the_federal_bureaucracy.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The federal bureaucracy was created by Congress and is managed by the executive branch. The structure of the bureaucracy was intended to make it difficult for employees to be fired for political reasons. The Civil Service is comprised for the most part of men and women who perform their daily duties admirably and with distinction. Sadly, the result of Obama’s politicized and weaponized bureaucracy has been a fundamental lack of trust in government by average citizens. The very worst federal employees are shielded from the consequences of their incompetence, indolence, and outright corruption by recalcitrant administrators and union lawyers. Personal accountability appears to have taken a permanent vacation. Indeed, the power of the civil service grows every time an unfireable federal employee thumbs his nose at the rules that govern the private sector. Throughout history no attempt by any president to rein in this bureaucracy has been able to do more than slow its growth; simply put, there is no elected official in Washington DC capable of bringing Leviathan to heel.)

Jim Thompson, Jim Edgar, and their supporters would have no problem with that because they all promote patronage.
