— Mass Exodus from Chicago Tribune as Journalists Accept Buyouts – Alexandra Silets
(DIERSEN: Have you been “offered” a buyout? In 1993, when I was a 45 year old GS-13 GAO employee who had 25 years of federal service, the Democrats who ran GAO “offered” a $25,000 buyout to all their employees, including me, who had 25 or more years of federal service. They made it very clear that they wanted all eligible GAO employees to take their “offer” who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who they had not promoted to GS-13 (currently $101,176) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $119,559) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $140,634) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $170,800) by age 40. Extremely few GAO employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. The $25,000 buyout expired in 1994, but in 1997, they succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer.”)

WEEK
— Illinois working on a path to equitable access to college for all students – Mike Miletich
(DIERSEN: Were you viewed as being “college material?” I was not. Neither of my outstanding parents attended college. My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. During my junior and senior years in high school and the summer in between 1964-1966, I washed dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresges in Chicago Heights. But nevertheless, I a) took college-preparatory courses, b) got into the upper 20% of my class, c) got a 24 on the ACT, d) got accepted by UIC in 1966, e) got accepted by NIU in 1969 and graduated with a bachelor of science degree in management in 1970, f) got accepted by Loyola in 1972 and graduated with an MBA in 1976, g) got accepted by DePaul in 1976 and graduated with a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, h) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, i) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and j) got accepted by IIT in 1992 and graduated with a master’s degree in finance in 1997.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— MAGA disciple Marjorie Taylor Greene is headlining a fundraiser for fellow freshman Rep. Mary Miller in a move some Republicans see as harmful to the party’s statewide efforts to gain traction in Democratic-run Illinois. – SHIA KAPOS
(DIERSEN: Hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters want the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) a) to dump voters who are pro-law enforcement, Trump supporters, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-poor, gun owners, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time and b) to dump the traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving), and the rest of the planks in the Republican Party platform. I should write a book about hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters who lead Republican organizations in Illinois.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “To embrace [Greene] and to bring her as a representative of the Republican Party is damaging to the brand of the party,” former Illinois GOP Chair Pat Brady told Playbook. “An overwhelming majority of Republicans do not agree with her worldview at all and that includes many of our friends in Congress.” The Illinois Republican Party did not return a request for comment about Greene headlining Miller’s fundraiser. And Republican operatives declined to talk, acknowledging they want to avoid the far-right conservative backlash and bashing that comes when they speak out against Donald Trump’s base. Miller’s political team would not comment on why she decided to bring Greene to Illinois. It’s known, though, that the two freshman Republicans have become friends. Along with their support of Trump, they vote similarly, have signed on to bills and letters together, and are aligned with the Freedom Caucus and America First platform. Greene recently drew criticism for equating mask-wearing rules at the Capitol to Jews living in Nazi Germany during the Holocaust, putting her in a situation similar to Miller, who drew scorn in January for drawing parallels between Hitler and Democrats. From a political perspective, Miller doesn’t even need to bring Greene to Illinois to fundraise. She, like her husband, state Rep. Chris Miller, represents a conservative district that’s mostly isolated from the rest of Illinois’ more centrist Republican Party. “She’s not going to lose, so bringing Greene only damages the party” in a year when Republicans may have a shot to make inroads in races statewide, said Brady. The congressional remap later in the year will determine whether the district continues to lean far to the right. Like Republicans across the country, the Illinois GOP is banking on success in 2022 because the midterms generally favor the party that’s not in the White House. The fundraiser will be held July 8 in the Effingham Performing Arts Center. Tickets range from $75 to $5,800.)
