CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— GOP backers abandon Rauner after broken promise on abortion – John Kass  (DIERSEN: What are your connections with State Representative Jeanne Ives? She and I are both DuPage County Milton Township Republican Precinct Committeemen in Wheaton. Her precinct is immediately to the east of mine.  Because of gerrymandering in 2015, my precinct now includes about 100 homes and 200 voters from her old precinct. Our precincts used to share the same polling place.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/columnists/kass/ct-bruce-rauner-abortion-john-kass-20170928-column.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Some Republicans are already trying to save what’s left of the GOP by finding other conservative candidates to run against Rauner. Among the names being mentioned: state Rep. Jeanne Ives, of Wheaton, a conservative and graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. Mentioned as a running mate is outgoing state Sen. Kyle McCarter, of downstate Lebanon. Others are in the mix. Still, these are political questions and there’s more to this than maneuvering.)

— State allows educators to bypass some exams, courses for teacher licensing – Diane Rado  (DIERSEN: Since the 1960s, to help it meet its Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion quotas, goals, and targets, the federal government has lowered many of its hiring, retention, and promotion standards and made them much more subjective. While I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969, IRS 1971-1980, and GAO 1980-1997, my work experience, my education, my professional certifications, and my professional license meant less and less and less. I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32.)

— Democratic candidate Chris Kennedy declares he’d be ‘feminist’ governor of Illinois – Rick Pearson  (DIERSEN: What do you say to males, to Whites, to older people, to rich people, and/or to German Americans who paint themselves as being anti-male, anti-White, anti-older people, anti-rich people, and/or anti-German American to curry favor with anti-males, anti-Whites, anti-older people, anti-rich people, and/or anti-German Americans? What do you say to those who falsely claim to be conservative and/or Republican to give themselves standing to work against those who are conservative and/or Republican.)

— Jewish leaders address rise of anti-Semitism as Yom Kippur arrives – Eric Peterson  (DIERSEN: Democrats are moral relativists who believe that their end justifies their means. They are disciples of Saul Alinsky. Virtually all during the almost 30 years that I worked for the federal government 1966-1969 and 1971-1997, one or more of my superiors were Jewish. To turn them against me, my Democrat superiors, my Democrat supervisors, my Democrat coworkers, and my Democrat subordinate stressed to them that I am 100% German national origin, that I was baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran, that Crete was my hometown, and that I was a draft avoider. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, or a veteran. In my defense, I stressed that all my ancestors immigrated during the 1840s and 1850s, that my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans during WWI, that my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans during WWII, and that my father would have fought the Germans during WWII if he had not been 4-F. Sadly, one or more of my Jewish superiors helped the federal government take many adverse actions against me. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, 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 an $18,847 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.  My Democrat IRS superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)

I graduated from Crete-Monee High School in 1966. What do the current students, teachers, and administrators at your high school think of those who share your demographics?  Sadly, from what I see of Crete-Monee High School, they do not view those who share my demographics positively.)

CONCERNED CHRISTIAN MINISTRIES
— What a Disappointment!!!  Once again Governor Rauner disappoints! On Good Friday his office announced that he would veto HB 40, which publicly funds abortions, adds abortion to the Illinois insurance plan for employees, and keeps abortion until live birth the law of the land in Illinois even if Roe v. Wade is overturned! This is a drastic change to longstanding Illinois policy! For years Illinois has not paid for abortions through tax-payer funding except for the life of the mother. Illinois citizens have never had to pay for abortions through the state employee health care plans. Surveys clearly show that 70-80% of Illinois citizens do not belief taxpayers should fund abortions. This legislation will require Illinois taxpayers somewhere around $20 million to pay to end the lives of thousands of innocent unborn children. By signing HB 40, Governor Rauner has gone completely against the Illinois Republican Party platform. Please continue to pray for Illinois, our governor, our legislators. Our solid pro-life and pro-family legislators are under great pressure. Thank you for your continued prayers during discouraging times like this. The work must continue. Thank you for your support! We remain in His Service! – Rev. Bob Vanden Bosch

(FROM THE ARTICLE: But who will step forward? Several possible GOP candidates tell us their hesitation isn’t a fear of facing Rauner, but a fear of the general election. They say the mid-term could be a Democratic year and if there’s real anti-Trump sentiment, it could spell doom for any Republican running statewide in Illinois. Names floating around, state Rep. Jeanne Ives, state Sen. Kyle McCarter, state Sen. Sam McCann, Dan Proft.)

IRS hired me in 1971 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. The Post Office hired me in 1966 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job.)

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/09/28/deep-state-78-obama-appointees-burrowed-in-govt-report-says.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The process of burrowing is not an uncommon for administrations on the way out. President George W. Bush had at least 26 conversions approved in his final year in office. Obama was warned in his final year against assigning political appointees to career jobs and was asked by Republicans to implement a hiring freeze to avoid keeping workers who opposed President Donald Trump’s policies. “Not only is ‘burrowing in’ unfair to applicants without an inside connection, it further contributes to the possibility that federal workers may attempt to undermine the policies of the new president,” Sens. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., and Ron Johnson, R-Wis., wrote to Obama, McClatchyDC reported.)

— Does Rauner’s abortion decision mean he won’t run again? – Eric Zorn  (DIERSEN: Whose advice is Rauner taking? Obviously, it is from someone who wants him and Sanguinetti to lose the March 20, 2018 Illinois Republican primary. Or is Rauner counting on millions of Democrats to cross over and to vote for him and Sanguinetti in that primary?  Ever-increasingly, in my precinct, those who vote for Democrats in general elections cast Republican primary ballots to do whatever damage that they can.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/zorn/ct-perspec-zorn-rauner-abortion-20170928-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Whether base Republican voters in Illinois are as riled and hungry for disruption of the political order as voters in Alabama is uncertain, but hostile responses from the right during and after Rauner’s announcement suggests that they might well be. “Bruce Rauner is a failed governor who lied to the people of Illinois,” seethed state Rep. David McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills. “I have given Bruce Rauner every benefit of the doubt,” said a statement from House Republican floor leader Peter Breen. “ I can no longer support him. And whether or not they are able to agree publicly, I know hundreds of elected Republicans, along with hundreds of thousands of Republican voters, who feel the same way I do.” I get that. Opposition to abortion runs strong among Republican voters, and Rauner’s decision to sign a bill that expands Medicaid funding of the procedure and includes abortion services in the health insurance plans for state employees disappoints them profoundly. . .Rauner is a wealthy man who doesn’t need this job and has learned, even if he won’t say so publicly, that he’s not very good at it. Attorney General Lisa Madigan shocked the Illinois political establishment with her recent announcement that she would not seek re-election to a fifth term. A similar announcement from Rauner, while more consequential, would be far less shocking under the circumstances. I didn’t hear back when I queried his campaign about this possibility Thursday. But the haggard man dully answering reporters’ questions that afternoon while bracing for the howls of betrayal from his former supporters didn’t look like someone braced for the political fight of his life. He looked like he was done.)

WILLIAM J KELLY
— Kelly blasts Rauner for signing taxpayer-funded abortion bill  William J. Kelly, Bruce Rauner’s only GOP opponent in the 2018 primary, has issued the following statement in response to the Governor’s signing of HB40 into law today: Bruce Rauner is a serial liar. He lied on the issue of illegal immigration and turned Illinois into a sanctuary state. He lied to Republicans on the 32% income tax increase. He lied to us again on life and, today, he broke his promise to veto HB40, which makes taxpayer-funded abortion law. For the sake of the people of Illinois and the Party, I am calling on Governor Rauner and the GOP leadership to resign immediately. Illinois citizens deserve better.

  1. GOVERNOR EVELYN SANGUINETTI
    — Lt. Governor Sanguinetti’s statement on Governor’s decision to sign HB 40  CHICAGO – The following statement can be attributed to Lt. Governor Evelyn Sanguinetti in response to Governor Rauner’s decision to sign HB 40. “As a pro-life Republican, I disagree with the Governor’s decision to sign HB 40. I wouldn’t be here today if it weren’t for a 15-year-old refugee who chose to have me and keep me. “I realize this bill is a political ploy to divide the people of Illinois. While I disagree with the Governor on this, we must focus on our areas of agreement – enacting real reforms we need to turn Illinois around.”

ERIKA HAROLD
— Harold Statement on Governor Rauner Signing HB 40: Attorney General candidate Erika Harold released the following statement after Governor Rauner announced he would sign HB 40: “The Governor personally reached out to me about his decision, and I know he did not reach it easily. While we disagree on this issue, there remains much on which we agree – and that is what unites us as Republicans. We both agree on the need to make Illinois more competitive, we agree on the need to lift up the less fortunate and we agree on the need to crack down on corruption and wrongdoing. As I have stated several times in the past, as Attorney General, I will enforce all of the laws of the state.”

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Proposed DuPage budget calls for salary cuts to cover state revenue loss – Gary Gibula  (DIERSEN: During the 1980s and 1990s, the Democrats who ran GAO used budget cuts, Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion to get rid of their employees who were Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/naperville-sun/news/ct-nvs-proposed-dupage-budget-st-0927-20170926-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: DuPage County employee salaries would be cut by up to 4 percent to compensate for a $2.7 million loss in state revenue under a budget proposed Tuesday by board Chairman Dan Cronin. The reductions are necessary to ensure that property taxes don’t increase under the 2017-18 spending plan, Cronin told county board members. “This has been an exceedingly difficult year,” he said. “I don’t know if people expect this from year to year, but we have a unique brand of government here. We do more with less.” Among the revenue cuts from the state are 10 percent less from the Local Government Distributive Fund, 2 percent less from the administrative fee on Regional Transportation Authority sales tax and a reduction in the Personal Property Replacement tax. Cronin and his finance team are asking all county departments to make across-the-board salary reductions in lieu of laying off staff.)

http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20170926/news/309269931/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The teen’s online posts mocking and criticizing the city-state’s government have twice landed him in a Singapore jail. He left his homeland in December with the intention of seeking U.S. asylum, but immigration agents took him into custody at O’Hare International Airport. He has remained behind bars during the proceedings. Attorney Sandra Grossman anticipated that Yee, in custody at a county jail outside Chicago, could be released at “any time.” “We welcome the board’s decision and we welcome it because it’s a decision that’s grounded in law and in fact,” she said. “He was persecuted because of political beliefs.”)

https://illinoisfamily.org/life/illinois-gop-congressional-caucus-responds-hb-40/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Great news from the congressional front!  In light of the possibility that Governor Bruce Rauner may renege on his commitment to veto HB 40—the bill that would require taxpayer-funding of abortions through Medicaid and state employee insurance plans through the entire 9 months of pregnancies—and the moral gravity of such an obscene (and costly) requirement, Illinois Family Institute Executive Director David Smith sent a letter to Illinois’ Republican congressmen requesting their help in persuading Governor Rauner to veto HB 40. Earlier today, U.S. Congressmen Peter Roskam, John Shimkus, Randy Hultgren, Adam Kinzinger, Rodney Davis, Mike Bost, and Darin LaHood sent a letter to Governor Rauner urging him to do just that:)

WASHINGTON POST
— Retirement wave – Eric Yoder  (DIERSEN: My Democrat superiors’ success in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old was a horrific waste. Who/what do you blame for my Democrat superiors’ success in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old?)
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2017/09/26/qa-for-federal-workers-retirement-wave/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Question: Whatever happened to the “retirement wave?” Wasn’t that supposed to create a lot of vacancies for younger federal employees to move up? Answer: Predictions of a wave of federal employee retirements date back many years. This comes from the large population of baby boomer workers — almost all now in their mid-50s or older — becoming old enough to meet the needed combinations of age and years of service. Some of those combinations allow for retirement as early as 55 — and even earlier in law enforcement and certain other occupations. However, except for those jobs, there is no mandatory retirement in the government. Many employees continue working out of desire or need — 15 percent already are eligible to retire, and the average federal retirement age now is about 62, up by more than two years over the past 10 years. Just under 64,000 of the 2.1 million federal workers outside the self-funding U.S. Postal Service retired in the fiscal year ending last September. That was about average for the past 10 years and actually the lowest since 2010. If budgets get tight, agencies may try to cut their staff costs by offering early retirements. But that’s just another form of optional retirement.)

THE HILL
— Rauner: Protesting NFL players are ‘disrespecting the foundations of our country’ – AVERY ANAPOL
http://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/352237-illinois-governor-protesting-nfl-players-are-disrespecting-the
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois governor Bruce Rauner said that NFL players protesting the National Anthem are “disrespecting” the flag, country, and anthem. The governor weighed in on the controversy to Politico after Sunday’s NFL game at Chicago’s Soldier Field. The entirety of the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers stayed in the locker room during the National Anthem, except for one player. “To me they are disrespecting the foundations of our country, the veterans who risked their lives for our democracy, and the men and women who fight every day and make the ultimate sacrifice to defend our liberties,” Rauner said through a spokesman. Rauner has a financial stake in the Steelers, according to Politico. The Republican governor said he did not condone the Steelers’ behavior, but that the First Amendment guarantees the right of players to “choose to be disrespectful.” “Our country is great because it guarantees freedom of expression,” Rauner said. President Trump has heavily criticized players for kneeling during the anthem to protest racial inequality. At an Alabama Senate campaign rally on Friday night, he called for NFL owners to fire athletes who protest the National Anthem, prompting several instances of players kneeling or staying in locker rooms during the anthem across the nation this weekend. The Chicago Bears stayed on the field during the anthem, linking arms in a display of unity while remaining standing. A team statement from the Bears said that the “divisive political situation” that the protests have brought on have unified the NFL by prompting dialogue between  “The Chicago Bears are proud to support our players, coaches and all members of our organization to bring peace and unity together through football,” the statement reads. “What makes this the greatest country in the world are the liberties it was founded upon and the freedom to express oneself in a respectful and peaceful manner.”)

(THE STATEMENT: Elected officials are welcome at our meetings, from every level of government and from every political persuasion. West Suburban Patriot’s members are very engaged in the political process and look forward to opportunities to meet representatives and hear about current legislative issues. Due to the structure and purpose of our meetings, we can’t provide them a platform to address the group for an entire meeting (unless we are holding a candidate forum), but we will certainly announce that they are in attendance, give them a few minutes to address the group, and encourage members to take time to introduce themselves and connect one-on-one. We ask elected officials to be conscious of the fact that we are a non-partisan group and to respect all of our members by not acting in an overtly partisan manner. We realize that getting our nation back on the right track will take the active participation of every citizen we can possibly draw in to our movement. Anyone who subscribes to the three tea party principles (fiscal responsibility, Constitutionally limited government, and free and fair markets) is welcome to join us. So that we know how much time to allocate for candidates, please contact Carol in advance to let us know that you are coming.)

http://www.kansas.com/news/politics-government/article175175316.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Sen. Thom Tillis will introduce his “conservative Dream Act” on Monday that would provide a pathway to citizenship for as many as 2.5 million young undocumented immigrants, but one that is long and involves “extreme vetting.” The North Carolina Republican and cosponsor James Lankford, an Oklahoma Republican, will pitch the plan as “merit-based” relief that must be earned — and, critically, not “amnesty,” according to Republican talking points obtained by McClatchy. But unlike other merit-based immigration proposals that limit new immigrants from entering the country based on their job skills, this proposal would limit who can remain in the country based on their years of American education, work experience or military service. “Choosing between either mass deportation of Dreamers or blanket amnesty is a false choice,” the lawmakers argue, according to the talking points. “There is a third option: an organized process by which talented and hard-working young Americans can earn legal status.” All applicants will have to pass a medical examination and be “extreme vetted.” The vetting will include three separate rounds of security and background checks to ensure they have no criminal history and pose no national security threat. The first check would happen when the immigrant enters the program followed by a second check after five years. The third check comes after 15 years, if and when the immigrant applies to become a citizen.)

DAILY HERALD
— More than 100 people protest Wheaton landlord over ‘back to Vietnam’ sign – Justin Kmitch  (DIERSEN: Because I refuse to hate Sandberg, Sandberg-haters hate me. Sandberg-haters are anti-Trump, anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-German Americans, anti-draft avoiders (except Bill Clinton), and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America longer than their ancestors.)
http://www.dailyherald.com/news/20170923/more-than-100-people-protest-wheaton-landlord-over-back-to-vietnam-sign
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The normally bustling corner of Front and Main streets in downtown Wheaton was even busier Saturday afternoon as more than 100 sign-waving protesters gathered to protest a local landlord. The group’s members, led by longtime Wheaton resident Jessica Prewitt, were speaking out against local businessman Robert Sandberg and a sign he posted two years ago inside the front door of a former Vietnamese restaurant that says the owners “went back to Vietnam.” The groundswell developed after Prewitt Wednesday posted a picture of the sign on social media. “To me, that sign says, ‘You’re not welcome here, get out,'” Prewitt said Saturday outside Sandberg’s men’s clothing store. “Wheaton is a very tolerant, diverse community. There’s just no room for that here.” Protesters lined the corner in front of Sandberg’s store, at times blocking his front door, holding signs that read “Diversity is Delightful,” “Be Kind,” “Give Hate no Home” and “Wheaton Welcomes All.” Kate McElwee brought her two young daughters for what she called a “teaching moment.” “This is so much bigger than Mr. Sandberg versus the restaurant owners,” she said. “This is about us peacefully using our freedom of speech to speak out against an enemy of diversity in our community.” Some people not associated with the protest said they felt obligated to go buy something from Sandberg because they felt he was being treated unfairly. Others yelled things like “fake news!” and “say no to DACA” as they drove east on Front Street. Inside his store, Sandberg defended his right to keep the sign posted until he receives a handwritten apology from the owners of Luong-Loi, who he says skipped out on their rent and owe him $17,000. The operators of the restaurant, which eventually reopened across the street from its former location, deny on Facebook that they have any unmet obligations to Sandberg. “Look, what these snowflakes are doing out here is petty. I’m no racist,” Sandberg said of the protesters. “I have black friends and I’m actively supporting (former member of Congress from Florida) Allen West, who is black and a great, great man. This is a dispute between me and a former tenant who lied to me and who owes me money. Now these people have people calling my phone and telling me I’m a racist.” Sandberg said he posted the sign because he grew tired of people coming into his store and asking him what happened to the Vietnamese restaurant that had been there for about 30 years. And, he’s willing to take it down, with conditions. “It could be taken down yesterday. All you have to do is have them give me a letter saying that they lied to me. They told me wrong. They didn’t go back to Vietnam,” Sandberg said. “Give me a reason you did what you did or just say, ‘We told you wrong. We made a mistake.'” Luong-Loi serves lunch and dinner in a building formerly owned by Sandberg at 111-113 N. Main St. The city gained ownership of the long-vacant property in 2006 after six years of condemnation proceedings against Sandberg. In late 2014, the city council approved the sale of the building to the restaurateurs for $160,111. The restaurant reopened about a year later after extensive renovations of the building’s facade. Luong-Loi employees present Saturday declined to comment but pointed to a statement released Friday on their Facebook page. “On behalf of the Luong-Loi family, I want to thank Jessica and everyone here for their support and concern on this matter. Thank you to all our customers, the City of Wheaton, and the entire community for your continued support of our family and business,” the statement reads. “As for Mr. Sandberg and the ‘We went back to Vietnam’ sign: We want to thank Mr. Sandberg for allowing Luong-Loi to lease his property for the past 25-plus years. We have no other obligations to Mr. Sandberg.”)

Actually, only 22% of them are even below the age of 25 according to the Department of Homeland Security. . .2) Kids get punished for things their parents do all the time. . .3) Republicans are giving up on making a real deal before they’ve even started. . .4) Many of the “Dreamers” are not who you think they are. . .5) It will encourage more illegals to bring their kids here.)

FEDERALIST
— Today’s American Teens Delay Responsibility Longer Than Ever  Whereas physical health may be on the rise among teens in the iGen generation, their mental health and wellbeing has declined. – Gracy Olmstead  (DIERSEN: What did you accomplish by the time you were 32?  Shortly after I turned 16 in 1964, I got a drivers license, bought a 1958 Chevy BelAir, and got a part-time job washing dishes. I bought my first new car when I was 17. I graduated debt-free from NIU with a bachelor’s degree in management when I was 21. I bought my fourth new car, a Corvette, when I was 23. I bought a new town home in University Park when I was 24. I bought a studio condo in the Outer Drive East building in downtown Chicago when I was 25 and a one bedroom condo in that building when I was 27. I earned an MBA from Loyola when I was 27 and a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul when I was 31.  I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt when I was 32.  I became a licensed CPA when I was 32. I got married when I was 29 and we bought 1017 East Harrison in Wheaton when I was 29.)
http://thefederalist.com/2017/09/22/research-todays-american-teens-delay-reponsibility-longer-ever/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “18-year-olds now look like 15-year-olds used to,” Jean Twenge says. Members of Generation Z, born between 1995 and 2012, are less likely to drink alcohol or have sex in high school. But they are also less likely to pursue independent acts of responsibility, like getting a driver’s license or procuring a job while in high school. Many people in Gen X—and even some among the millennial generation—are rather dumbfounded by these trends. In my home state of Idaho, teens my age could procure a driver’s license at 14, due to the state’s rural, farming nature. There wasn’t a single kid who didn’t look forward to his 14th birthday: it carried with it the prospect of independence, and eventually car ownership.)

http://www.barrons.com/articles/ministering-to-the-middle-class-1506139411
(FROM THE ARTICLE:  His career started in what is now the Government Accountability Office. Jacques actually did some exciting work there: Still in his 20s, he assisted in the investigation of then-President Jimmy Carter’s brother Billy, who had been accused of improperly taking money from the Libyans. “I’d be in Strom Thurmond’s office with Bob Dole and these power players, joking like normal people,” recalls Jacques, “and they’d turn to me and ask, ‘What information do you have for us?’ ” But Jacques spent most of his time auditing government agencies, when he would have preferred to be doing taxes and working for himself. In 1983, he left Washington to do just that. Along the way, he started taking financial-planning courses and, with the help of an industry mentor, added life insurance and annuities to his bailiwick.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: House Minority Leader Jim Durkin’s (R-Western Springs) hiring of Michael Mahoney, a former aide to Gov. Bruce Rauner, has the potential to cause some conflict of interest problems for WTTW, the primary public broadcasting member station in Chicago. The news of Mahoney’s hiring was reported in a Sept. 17 story in Prairie State Wire. According to the real estate listing site BlockShopper, Mahoney lives with WTTW statehouse reporter Amanda Vinicky in the Wicker Park neighborhood of Chicago. “Amanda adheres to our News Standards which require balance, fairness and disclosure,” Mary Field, the station’s executive producer of “Chicago Tonight,” wrote in an email in response to being asked how WTTW would maintain balance in its coverage of the General Assembly. “I believe her works speaks for itself in that regard.” The Prairie State Wire story said that the hiring of Mahoney was being pushed by one of the Springfield’s top lobbyists and deal makers, Nancy Kimme, and David Walsh, Durkin’s top aide. Mahoney, 31, would replace Andrew Freiheit, 46, of Wheaton, who worked for the Illinois House Republicans, including Durkin’s predecessors Lee Daniels and Tom Cross, for more than two decades. Sources said that the move was precipitated by staff changes in Rauner’s office, where Kimme once had unrivaled access to information on state contracts, hiring and legislation. That access has reportedly been shut down with the departure of aides close to her, among them former Chief of Staff Richard Goldberg, Campaign Manager Mike Zolnierowicz, Communications Director Lance Trover and Research Director Edward Murphy. “She (Kimme) needs a new way in,” a lobbyist familiar with the situation told Prairie State Wire. “Durkin and Walsh are looking to help.” Commenting on an earlier story about the appearance of conflicts of interests when reporters are in relationships with people they report on, Prof. Adam Penenberg of New York University’s Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute — who garnered national attention in 1998 for unmasking serial fabricator Stephen Glass of the New Republic — said that many ethics codes in journalism warn of any appearance of a conflict of interest. “One good rule governing potential conflicts of interest is whether a reporter might pull his or her punches,” he said. “Write a critical story and your spouse could, potentially, suffer the consequences. She could even get fired and result in a significant loss of income.” The Associated Press, in its “News Values and Principles” for Reporters, states: “Editorial employees are expected to be scrupulous in avoiding any political activity, whether they cover politics regularly or not. Non-editorial employees must refrain from political activity unless they obtain approval from a manager.” It also urges discussing any potential conflicts with one’s manager. “And a supervisor must be informed when a spouse — or other members of an employee’s household — has any ongoing involvement in political causes, either professionally or personally,” it reads.)
