If all you’re doing is cutting costs at the expense of lives and futures, I don’t see public sector workers accepting that.

In my defense, a) I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, b) I earned 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, c) I earned job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and d) I earned a job-related professional license when I was 32.

https://www.heritage.org/education/report/equity-elementary-diversity-equity-and-inclusion-staff-public-schools
(FROM THE ARTICLE: An analysis of student test-score data shows that employing a chief diversity officer (CDO) in K–12 school districts does not contribute to closing achievement gaps and is even likely to exacerbate those gaps. If CDOs are not accomplishing their stated goals, what is accomplished by creating these positions? CDOs may be best understood as political activists who articulate and enforce an ideological orthodoxy within school districts. They help to mobilize and strengthen the political influence of one side. The creation of CDOs tilts the political playing field against parent and teacher efforts to remove the radical ideology of critical race theory and other illiberal ideals from school curricula and practices.)

PRESS HERALD
— COMMENT: A house divided against itself cannot stand. Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Ever-increasingly, the Republican Party lets those who reject some, most, if not all of its platform, that is, it lets Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, Independent plants, and RINOs a) serve as Republican Precinct Committeemen/Captains, b) hold leadership positions in Republican township/ward/county/state organizations, and c) run for government offices. Most commonly, they reject the traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. I should write a book about the aforesaid in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton. I would focus on those who had their operatives and their dupes a) stop me from raising funds from DuPage County Republicans so that DuPage County Republicans could help sponsor Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day parade and fireworks, b) end my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship in 2012, c) end my Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee membership in 2011, d) end my Milton Township Republican Organization webmaster service in 2010 and 2004, e) end my Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee membership in 2007, f) try to get ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006, and g) end my American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board membership in 2004.)

If you seek a government office or political office as a conservative, expect that conservative-haters will use your hometown against you.

My great great grandfather on my father’s side homesteaded a farm in southeast Crete Township in 1854 and bought land just northeast of downtown Crete in 1864. My grandfather had a house built on that land in 1926 which I lived in 1954-1972 and which my brother continues to live.)

They painted what GAO Analysts do as being a unique “trade or occupation.” They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. They viciously demonized, denigrated, and condemned the fact a) that I had worked for IRS as a Revenue Officer for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $85,935-$97,395/year, b) that much of what IRS Revenue Officers do is similar to what GAO Analysts do, c) that I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, d) that I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and e) that I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul. They were furious a) that I suffered a pay cut of only $20,361/year (21%) in today’s dollars to transfer and b) that I transferred with me almost 12 years of federal seniority, 30 days of unused vacation days, and 130 unused sick days.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Officials clarify Joliet police chief firing, give ultimatum – ALICIA FABBRE (COMMENT: In 1997, when I was 49 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors hinted that they might let me work for another 6 years when I would then be eligible for regular retirement if I would happily agree to be constructively downgraded and a) happily agree to work for my Black subordinate or b) happily agree to be transferred to another audit group. I had been assigned to the group that audits federal financial industry regulators since 1990. I had earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT earlier in 1997. I had become a Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-joliet-police-chief-asked-to-resign-20211009-d46ei3yzafcn5hpkr6iq562sta-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Ousted Joliet police Chief Dawn Malec was given the option to resign from city employment entirely or face firing after being removed from the top job Wednesday — a move she said she won’t make. In a letter, hand-delivered to Malec’s home hours after City Manager Jim Capparelli informed her she was out as chief, Capparelli clarified his earlier action, saying her termination was only for her role as police chief. The letter states that Malec has “not attained eligibility to retire on full pension, and therefore will be returned to (her) rank of lieutenant, effective immediately.” In the letter, Capparelli offered her the option of resigning from the department by 5 p.m. Friday. If not, he warned, she could be fired.)

https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20211011/dupage-county-board-members-at-odds-over-redistricting-as-deadline-looms
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “I would like to see alternative maps using traditional redistricting parameters, taking out incumbency requirements,” Chavez wrote in an email. Zay said there are no incumbency requirements, but that officials try not to draw county board members and forest preserve commissioners out of their districts “if at all possible.” “But again, that wasn’t an objective of it,” Zay said. “Ours was to keep that deviation of the districts under 1% and to make communities contiguous and whole if we could, and that’s what we did.”)

— Liz Cheney, 9 other House Republicans voted to impeach Trump: Who do they face in 2022 midterms? – Rachel Looker

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill. Kinzinger responded to Gonzalez’s decision to not seek reelection in a video posted to Twitter. “Now the pundits and politicos are discussing whether this means that Trump won, so let me answer this question. Yes, as of now, Trump is winning,” he said. “Not because Anthony [Gonzalez] decided not to run, but because so many in the Republican party decided to stay silent.” Kinzinger said his GOP colleagues watched from the sidelines and lacked the courage to speak out following the events from Jan. 6. “The future of the party and politics in this country doesn’t rest on the 10 of us. It rests on the courage of the 180 others who have been silent so far. To my GOP colleagues, the time is now to speak up,” he added. Kinzinger, who represents northern Illinois, is one of two Republicans to serve on the bipartisan Jan. 6 committee to investigate the attack on the Capitol. In a New York Times guest essay, Kinzinger said he is on the commission to get answers to questions about misinformation campaigns, lies perpetuated by Trump and other leaders and investigate the motivations of those who stormed the Capitol. Kinzinger has been a consistent critic of Trump, most recently calling him a “snowflake” and “one of the weakest men I’ve ever seen” on CNN following the former president’s response to President George W. Bush’s 9/11 speech on violent extremism. Kinzinger has raised nearly $1.9 million for the 2021-2022 election cycle, according to OpenSecrets. However, Politico reported a new congressional map may eliminate Kinzinger’s district. That could leave Kinzinger with the option to face an incumbent in a different district. Despite reports the district may be eliminated, seven other Republican challengers have filed with the FEC to run for Kinzinger’s seat. One challenger, Catalina Lauf, is a former Department of Commerce advisor under Trump. She received the endorsement of Rep. Madison Cawthorn, R-N.C., in July. Lauf unsuccessfully ran for a Congress seat in 2020. In a social media video announcing her campaign, Lauf called Kinzinger a “weak-kneed, establishment Republican who cares more about his next MSNBC appearance than the voters who elected him.” Lauf has raised over $350,000 for the 2021-2022 election cycle.)
