SPRINGFIELD STATE JOURNAL REGISTER
— State workers’ back step pay should be paid by end of September – Doug Finke (DIERSEN: I should write a book about those who demonize, denigrate, and condemn federal employees as being overpaid. While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, my salary increased every year because of step increases, cost of living adjustments, and/or promotions, except in 1980 when I took a $19,568/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. I started in 1966 when I was 18 earning $16.15/hour in today’s dollars and ended in 1997 earning $127,654/year in today’s dollars. During those almost 30 years, I took job-related college courses during 22 of those years (1966-1983 and 1992-1997). 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.)

FORBES
— The Damage Of Lesser Damages In The Age Discrimination In Employment Act – Patricia Barnes (DIERSEN: All my critics/opponents, all their operatives, and all their dupes promote age discrimination a) because they want to get rid of those who are older than they are and/or b) because they want to curry favor with those who promote age discrimination.)
https://www.forbes.com/sites/patriciagbarnes/2019/06/12/the-damage-of-lesser-damages-in-the-age-discrimination-in-employment-act/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Age discrimination is the least profitable type of discrimination for workers. In other words, the potential amount of damages available to age discrimination victims is far lower than the amount of damages that are available to victims of other types of discrimination. This reality has terrible consequences for combating the problem, and surely contributes to the epidemic nature of age discrimination in America. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 provides victims of discrimination based on race, sex, religion, color and national origin with a full menu of damages, including monetary, compensatory (i.e. damages for emotional distress), and punitive damages. Federal courts always award attorney fees to prevailing plaintiffs in Title VII cases. Not so the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA). The ADEA does not treat age discrimination like a serious civil rights violation. Instead, age discrimination is accorded the same severity as an employer’s failure to pay workers’ overtime or holiday pay. The damages provision of the ADEA is taken not from Title VII but from the Fair Labor Standards Act, a federal law that regulates the payment of wages by employers. The ADEA allows age discrimination victims to recover for monetary loss only, sometimes doubled if the plaintiff can prove “willful” discrimination. Like all civil rights laws, one of the functions of the ADEA is deterrence. The very existence of the law is supposed to discourage employers from engaging in age discrimination. But the lack of potentially big-ticket damages associated with compensatory and punitive damages detracts from the deterrence value of the ADEA. Worse, the ADEA does not guarantee an award of attorney fees to a winning plaintiff.)

— Why we should celebrate the many unique roles of dads on Father’s Day – Pat Lenhoff (DIERSEN: My outstanding father fought type 1 diabetes from age 14, was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma, never attended college, worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant in Chicago Heights, almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills, did not buy a new car until he was 45 and it was a bottom of the line 2-door Chevy, and died suddenly of heart failure in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21.)

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— 14 Chicago grassroots leaders win $25,000 grants Two major foundations teamed up to fund “a range of established and emerging leaders who work across boundaries to build a Chicago that is responsive and equitable to all.” – Carlos Ballesteros (DIERSEN: In your municipality, who is being discriminated against and who is responsible for that? According to Democrats, those who are Democrat, Libertarian, Green, RINO, non-Protestant, liberal, moderate, non-patriotic, minority, female, younger, non-rich, non-gun owners, non-German Americans, and/or those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time are discriminated against by those who are Republican, Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://chicago.suntimes.com/2019/6/11/18661831/chicago-nonprofits-grants-grassroots-leaders-field-foundation-macarthur-foundation-latino-union
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The grants — part of what the foundations call “The New Leaders of Chicago” program — aim to bridge the gap between Chicago’s moneyed civic elite and grassroots organizers in neighborhoods across the city. “Although more than 60 percent of Chicago residents are from African, Latinx, Asian, Arab, and Native American communities, the city’s civic leadership does not reflect these demographics,” according to a press release. The award “recognizes a range of established and emerging leaders who work across boundaries to build a Chicago that is responsive and equitable to all.” Rodriguez said the money will allow the Latino Union of Chicago to continue organizing immigrant workers and to develop stronger community bonds. “We use the money to build community power,” she said. “When you give people a space that provides you with a work center, child care and translation services, people come and share their stories and connect with one another. We’re here to collaborate with workers to bring these resources to their families, their church, their school — anywhere they go.” The foundations announced the award in February and intend to hand out grants annually. To qualify, nominees must be city residents whose organizations have been awarded grants within the past two years by the Field Foundation or MacArthur’s Chicago Commitment or Jack Fuller Legacy Initiative.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Republican Mike Fricilone, the Will County Board minority leader, has launched his bid for the 3rd Congressional District seat now held by Rep. Dan Lipinski, a Democrat. “A lifelong resident of District 3,” Fricilone says in a release that he understands “the needs and wants of our residents” and will work “to do what is best for our communities.” Fricilone’s day job is as executive director of Midwest Office Interiors in Woodridge. He’s served as a Will County Board member since 2012, serving as chair of the Finance Committee and vice chair of the Capital Committee. His entry in the race must be a welcome relief to Republicans, who in 2018 failed to line up a viable GOP candidate to challenge Lipinski. That led to avowed Nazi and Holocaust denier Arthur Jones to appear on the ballot as a GOP candidate. – SHIA KAPOS and ADRIENNE HURST (DIERSEN: Are you currently represented by a Democrat in the U.S. Congress? If so, who are all the Republicans who have declared their candidacy or are considering running? Your Republican Precinct Committeeman/Captain should be able answer that question.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Are older workers job hoarding, hurting economy? 44% of young employees say graying workforce is a problem. – AP (DIERSEN: My GAO superiors and supervisors hinted/implied/argued/shouted that their Democrat employees who were younger, minority, female, and/or veteran wanted GAO to get rid of its Republican employees who were older, White, male, and/or non-veteran.) 
https://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-biz-older-workers-blocking-jobs-poll-20190606-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: ore older Americans are forgoing the concept of a traditional retirement at the age of 65, a trend that some younger workers aren’t particularly thrilled to see. A recent poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that workers under the age of 50 were significantly more likely to view America’s aging workforce as a negative development when compared with their older counterparts. About 4 in 10 respondents ages 18 to 49 and 44% of the youngest respondents ages 18 to 29 said they consider the trend to be a bad thing for American workers. Just 14% of those age 60 and over said the same. “I don’t think in things like IT and medicine you’re as effective a worker (at 65 years old) as you are at 50,” says Katie Otting, a 29-year-old living in Southern California. “If some 65-year-old is in a position that he’s not ready to quit because he wants a better pension and there’s someone else ready to take that job, they’re not going to replace him.” An aging population, elevated health care costs and lingering financial uncertainty following the Great Recession all are believed to be contributing to America’s steadily graying workforce. Nearly 20% of Americans over the age of 65 were employed or actively looking for work last year, up from less than 12% two decades prior, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.)

Democrats and Democrat plants, Libertarians and Libertarian plants, Greens and Green plants, and RINOs are nasty. I should write a book about how my a) Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government used and b) how my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes in Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois use my 100% German national origin against me. They constantly foisted/foist negative German stereotypes on me. In my defense, I stress that they all my ancestors immigrated way back 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 if he had not been 4-F, my father would have fought the Germans during WWII. If DNA information had been available back when I worked for the federal government, I would have stressed that. According to http://dna.ancestry.com, my ancestry is 33% Europe West, 28% Scandinavia, 24% Great Britain, 11% Ireland, 2% Europe East, 1% Finland/Northwest Russia, and 1% Italy/Greece.)

Your request for the records referenced above is respectfully denied per Section 5 ILCS 140/2, Sec. 7 Exemptions (1) (1) “Minutes of meetings of public bodies closed to the public as provided in the Open Meetings Act until the public body makes the minutes available to the public under Section 2.06 of the Open Meetings Act.” The Illinois Election Code allows the public release of statements of candidacy when an individual chooses to run for an elected office. While the applicants in this case are not running for election, but rather are seeking to be appointed to a vacancy on the City Council, after reviewing State statutes, we believe it would be permissible to release the names and addresses of the applicants in response to your request, and that information is attached.” Of course, those who do not want anyone to see the documents support Barrett-Hagen’s denial.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Documents obtained from Murray State University challenge former Southern Illinois University President Randy Dunn’s claim that he did nothing to “fast-track” the hiring of the son of a former SIU trustee while president of MSU. The documents, obtained by The Southern via the Kentucky Open Records Act, show Dunn signed a hiring process exemption, also known as a search waiver, to hire Tyson Manering — son of former SIU Trustee Donna Manering — as an international recruiter at MSU. The exemption allowed Murray State to hire Tyson Manering outside of its standard search and hiring protocols. Generally, filling a position like Manering’s would have required forming a search committee to vet applicants, interview top candidates, and collectively make a hire, MSU policy indicates. In this case, Manering was selected directly, via the exemption, 12 days before the international recruiter job was ever publicly posted, and more than two weeks before he submitted his online job application, records show.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: DuPage County Board Chairman Dan Cronin invites residents to attend a District 4 Candidate Forum on Tuesday, January 17, where 11 candidates seeking the nomination to fill the board vacancy, will have the opportunity to address the County Board members and the public. “I am delighted that so many residents are interested in serving on the County Board and am so far very impressed with the candidates’ credentials. I urge District 4 residents to join myself and the County Board members during the candidate forum to learn more about the applicants,” he said. The Candidate Forum will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 17, at the Auditorium of the JTK Administration Building, 421 N. County Farm Road, Wheaton. Following the public forum, Cronin will select a nominee by the January 24 County Board meeting.

The District 4 vacancy was created in December when County Board member Debra Olson resigned to accept a position as executive director of the DuPage Homeownership Center. Cronin accepted applications from District 4 residents for one month. The deadline was Jan. 10.)

https://www.timesfreepress.com/news/business/aroundregion/story/2019/may/31/how-get-your-resume-noticed/495709/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Highlight your strengths and what is most relevant to the potential employer. Place the strongest and most relevant points first where they are more apt to be read in order to hook the reader. Match the needs of the hiring company. Review job postings online and in the newspapers for positions that interest you. Each listing will almost always have a brief blurb about the company and the position available. Read the job description closely, and use the key words listed in these ads, and match them to the bullet points in your resume. Tailor your resume to the position. Be positive. For instance, if you feel your past graduation date will subject you to age discrimination, leave it off the resume. Focus on the duties that do support your objective and curtail or omit irrelevant personal information like your race.)

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/columnists/byron-york-law-enforcement-media-changed-standards-for-trump
(FROM THE ARTICLE: One of the more unfortunate effects of the Trump-Russia investigation — and there have been many — is the weakening of traditional standards of argument and proof in the public debate over allegations that the Trump campaign conspired with Russia to fix the 2016 election. (Just for the record: It didn’t.) In particular, angry disputes about the president have done terrible harm to the principle that an investigator, be it a journalist or a prosecutor, should meet at least some standard of proof before leveling an accusation.)

— Study recommends Wheaton zoning overhaul for Roosevelt Road corridor – Katlyn Smith
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190529/study-recommends-wheaton-zoning-overhaul-for-roosevelt-road-corridor
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Some neighbors say the study extends into what really is the west, more residential corridor of Roosevelt and oppose a proposal to loosen zoning restrictions to attract retail developments. . .Nearly 30 residents spoke out on the study this week with an expansive list of concerns. Martha Bradley, who lives on Golf Lane, stressed the importance of improving pedestrian access to the downtown. “We are a residential city, and our city planning should reflect that,” she said. “A forward-thinking city understands that pedestrian-friendly sidewalks and bike lanes are what attract new homebuyers, keep residents, increases equity for current homeowners and subsequently increases city revenue based on increased home value and an increased tax base.” Nancy Flannery, the chairwoman of the city’s historic preservation commission, worries about the possible demolition of another Jarvis Hunt-designed house, now converted into offices at 534 Roosevelt. Built in 1896, the house was one of the first summer cottages constructed for members of the private Chicago Golf Club. “Why are we letting our history be taken away from us?” she asked. Mayor Phil Suess said the city intends to hold a second planning session devoted to the East Roosevelt Road Corridor study to have consultants answer questions from council members and continue taking public comment. The study could pave the way for amendments to the city’s comprehensive plan and zoning ordinances. “This is the start of a process,” he said. “There’s no timetable associated with this process.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-05-27/illinois-lawmakers-approve-progressive-tax-send-plan-to-voters
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Financial advisers and institutions typically counsel someone aim to have 70% to 80% of their pre-retirement paycheck. Another estimate is roughly 75%, according to T. Rowe Price, because living expenses go down, taxes will likely be reduced and there won’t be a need to put so much toward retirement savings anymore.)

That directly resulted in my accepting a job offer from IRS. What would Lipnic say about that? In 1997, when I was 49 years old, the Democrats who ran GAO forced me to take their early retirement “offer” a) because I had been an active member in a class action lawsuit since 1988 when I was 40 years old that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation and b) because I had always complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. What would Lipnic say about that?)

EUREKA TIMES STANDARD
— On ‘Seeking: digital natives’ – ANGELA COPELAND (DIERSEN: How long have you had your email address? I have had diersen@aol.com for more than 24 years, since January of 1995 when I was 46 years old. How long have you owned a computer system? I have owned a computer system since 1982 when I was 34 years old. While I worked for GAO during the 1990s, before GAO provided its staff with computer systems, I bought several computer systems and used them in my office. I published Milton Township Republican Central Committee’s (MTRCC) first website in 2000 and served as MTRCC’s webmaster 2000-2004 and 2008-2010. I published Milton Township’s first website in 2001 and served as its webmaster 2001-2003. I served as Illinois Center Right Coalition’s webmaster 2004-2006. I have been sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails since 2000 and publishing copies of them at www.gopillinois.com since 2005. I have been on Facebook since January of 2009.)
https://www.times-standard.com/2019/05/26/career-corner-seeking-digital-natives/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: This term makes sense at first. But, the definition of a digital native, according to Dictionary.com, is “a person born or brought up during the age of digital technology and therefore familiar with computers and the internet from an early age.” Those who are turning forty this year probably started to use the internet around 1995, when they were sophomores in high school — if they were lucky. That was in the time of the dial-up modem and America Online. Their parents were ahead of the game to have a home computer then. In all likelihood, they really began to use computers when they went to college. It should be noted that I’m omitting early Mac computers and things like Atari for the purposes of this column. I’m talking about the real-deal internet. Digital natives had the internet in elementary school or middle school. Wikipedia says digital natives “are often used to describe the digital gap in terms of the ability of technological use among people born from 1980 onward and those born before.” By this definition, a digital native would be 38 years old or younger today. Let that soak in. A job description that specifically requests that someone is 38 years old or less. Why does this happen? I don’t have the answer for you. I’d like to know this myself. I thought that the idea of a job posting was to hire someone with a certain skillset rather than a certain age. I also heard this rumor that discriminating on the basis of age when hiring is not allowed. In fact, I think there may be something called the Age Discrimination in Employment Act.)

— How Can You Tell if a Job Candidate Is Lying About Their Credentials? – Adam C. Uzialko
https://www.businessnewsdaily.com/11314-background-check-candidate-credentials.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When employers don’t want to conduct candidate verification themselves or feel it would be better handled by a professional third party, there are background check services. These companies are available to screen candidates, usually for a per-candidate fee, and provide background check reports for the employer’s review. Background checks generally review criminal history at the federal and state level, as well as verify past employment and educational attainment. “Manual verification of job candidates, especially in high-volume situations, may be impractical,” Chancey said. “For best results, employers should consider partnering with a reliable background screening vendor. Look for a vendor whose screening platform is easy to use and takes out the hassle of verifying multiple candidates, integrates with other HR systems such as the applicant tracking system, and whose capabilities can be customized to the needs of your organization.”)
