They stress a) that my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my mentor in 1987, 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 a $19,568 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980; b) that my Democrat IRS superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, got rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974; and c) that my Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968. They stress my terrible demographics: Trump supporter, Protestant (baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran), conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, old (born in 1948), non-poor, gun owner, 100% German American, draft avoider, and my ancestors have been in America since 1844.)

QUICKEN
— Forced into Retirement? Here’s What You Need to Know – Molly Grace (DIERSEN: I should write a book about forced early retirement.)
https://www.quickenloans.com/blog/forced-retirement-heres-need-know
(FROM THE ARTICLE: If you’re approaching retirement age, you might be thinking about how long you’ll need to continue working to ensure you have the finances to last throughout your retirement. Unfortunately, you might not have much of a say in the matter. A recent analysis from ProPublica and the Urban Institute shows that more than half of older U.S. workers are pushed out of their jobs before they plan to retire – even those who are in steady, long-held positions. Many of these workers find it difficult or even impossible to get back to their previous income level, putting their financial health at risk. Some of these individuals will have to take on new, lower paying positions just to make ends meet, finding themselves working twice as hard just to make half as much as they did at their previous positions. Those who have to leave the workforce due to personal issues that prevent them from taking on new work are faced with the difficult task of making their already lackluster retirement savings stretch even thinner. What can older workers do if they find themselves out of a longtime job they relied on and facing a suddenly uncertain retirement? Let’s look at some steps you can take in the short and long term to ensure your financial security. Why Are Americans Being Forced into Retirement? The majority of job losses among workers over 50 are employer-driven, not due to personal issues like ailing health. This often comes in the form of layoffs or deteriorating work conditions that, intentionally or not, subtly edge out these workers. While age discrimination in the workplace is illegal, it unfortunately does happen. If you believe you have sufficient evidence that you have been a victim of age discrimination, you may want to speak with a lawyer. Another reason workers retire earlier than planned is personal circumstances that prevent them from continuing work, often due to poor health or having to take care of a family member, like an ill spouse.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Lonks, a self-employed accountant, has fallen short on three previous bids for a board seat. He’s criticized the district on transparency issues and end-of-career bonuses for retiring employees, but Booten says the payments help retain staff. Crabtree says the district is pledging about $7 million to $7.5 million annually over the next four to five years to pay for capital projects. “We’re going to start drawing down our fund balance a little bit,” she said. “We’re going to be tightening up a little bit within our budget, not impacting students, and we’re hitting off those top-priority needs, so that’s our main focus.”)

https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190401/tuesdays-election-key-races-in-dupage-county
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Wheaton mayor Both longtime members of the city council, Phil Suess and John Prendiville are vying to succeed Michael Gresk as Wheaton’s first new mayor in 12 years. Now in his fourth council term, Suess, a partner in an investment consulting firm, has made city taxes a signature campaign issue. In each of the past four years, he’s voted against raising property taxes “at a time when the city has consistently underspent its budget, has generated higher than expected surpluses and has maintained reserves in excess of stated targets.” Prendiville voted in favor of increasing the 2018 property tax levy by $151,175 to capture new growth. The city, he said, has maintained fairly flat tax increases for the average homeowner. Prendiville, an attorney in municipal and corporate finance, cautions the city has roughly $59.5 million in projects with identified funding, but faces about $13.3 million in infrastructure projects that have no funding source over the next five years. Prendiville’s third term on the council expires in May.)

https://wtax.com/news/101101-hurt-feelings-in-diversity-debate/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Offense taken,” said a black lawmaker during a hot debate over a bill at the Capitol Friday. The bill would require Illinois-based publicly-held corporations to have blacks and women on their boards of directors. Republicans say the requirement is another sign to businesses that they should not locate in Illinois. “If you’re saying that’s stifling business in Illinois, how am I supposed to take that?” shouted State Rep. Will Davis (D-Homewood), who is black. State Rep. Steve Reick (R-Woodstock), who is white, had a response for Davis: “You’re not gonna get anything in this country in the way of being treated equally if you’re gonna take offense at every damn thing that comes up.” Some of the white Republicans’ remarks which offended black Democrats included questions about whether Christian men could be a protected class, too; and whether a corporate board could include somebody such as Rachel Dolezal, a white woman who famously faked her way to the presidency of the NAACP. The bill barely passed. State Rep. Chris Welch (D-Hillside), who is black, said all he wanted to do was make the world better for his five-year-old daughter. HB 3394 has passed the House, 61-27.)

https://illinoisfamily.org/podcast/left-wing-partisans-file-stunning-resolution-against-illinois-family/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Chicago attorney Joseph A. Morris, who is also a leader in B’nai B’rith and other Jewish and interfaith organizations, served from 1995 through 2001 as the President of B’nai B’rith in the Midwest, and was founder and first Chairman of the B’nai B’rith International Center for Public Policy, said this about the disputed analogy: I’m Jewish, and not only am I not offended by the comparison between the German Nazi Party’s National Socialism and the U.S. Democratic Party’s Democratic Socialism but I think the comparison is accurate. Wise, principled, and humane Democrats should welcome having their attention arrested by the facts.)

https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190330/dupage-ballots-to-include-questions-about-taxes-consolidation
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Naperville Township Voters in Naperville Township will decide whether a previously approved plan to consolidate a road district should be scrapped in favor of another proposal to dissolve the small unit of government. Residents in Naperville and Lisle townships in 2017 approved a measure to combine their road districts to form one agency. The consolidation is scheduled to take effect May 2021. But Naperville Township officials put a new question on the ballot that asks voters if they want to follow a state law that allows the township government to absorb the road district. Naperville Township officials say they believe the outcome of Tuesday’s vote would supersede the decision from two years ago. But they don’t know for certain that the idea of absorbing the road district into the township legally can replace the previously approved — and now required — merger.)

— Love your job? Tell us about it. Nominate your company as a top workplace. (DIERSEN: What if back in 1997 one of my Democrat GAO Chicago Office superiors, supervisors, coworkers, or subordinates had nominated GAO for this while still worked there? What if GAO had agreed to participate? What if the Chicago Tribune had distributed a confidential survey to me? Back then, my Democrat GAO superiors used Affirmative Action, Diversity, Inclusion, up-or-out, and Republican-led budget cuts a) to hire, retain, and promote young Democrat minorities and young Democrat females and b) to make way for them by getting rid of their employees like me who were Republican, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-biz-top-workplaces-2019-nominations-20190326-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A top workplace can be described this way: It’s an organization that is successful because its employees enjoy their work, embrace their mission and feel like valued teammates. Compensation and perks are factors, but the more important components include opportunities for professional growth and being treated with respect. To qualify, a workplace must have at least 100 employees in the Chicago area. Nominations are open to all employers, including nonprofits. Nominated companies that agree to participate will distribute to employees between April and July an easy-to-complete, confidential survey developed by the Tribune’s research partner, Energage, which will calculate the list of top workplaces.)

NORTHWEST HERALD

HERALD & REVIEW
— MARCH 1, 2019 FLASHBACK: Smaller governmental units cost less – Bryan Smith, Decatur
https://herald-review.com/opinion/letters/letter-smaller-governmental-units-cost-less/article_0056cd63-4272-5108-9df8-226415c421a3.html
(FROM THE LETTER: I am responding to the Herald & Review’s piece (“Time to address reducing some governing layers,” Feb. 24) in which it’s stated that Illinois’ taxes are high because there are too many forms of government. As the executive director of the Township Officials of Illinois, I’d like to share some important data from the Illinois Comptroller’s office that clearly dispels those claims. Indeed, state reporting shows that smaller units of local government in Illinois cost taxpayers less than larger units of government. This can be seen among municipalities where taxes per resident tend to be higher where governments are larger. There has been an aggressive push to eliminate township government in Illinois, often based on information that is simply not true. Townships, which are generally smaller, have had the lowest tax increase rates in recent decades among the various types of government in the state. Further, township labor costs per employee are also the lowest of any government type. Local democracy is stronger where local governments are smaller. If townships were to be eliminated and forced into consolidating with units of government with higher cost structures, taxes, spending and debt are likely to increase. Just as bad, it would make local governments less responsive to constituents. This is no way to reduce taxes.)

I should write a book about what my GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates faced during the 1980s and 1990s. The future was extremely bleak for those who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who had not made GS-13 (currently $96,403) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $113,920) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $134,000) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $164,200) by age 40.

— Fourteen Questions About Your Assignment – Tim Hetzner
http://devotions.lccharities.org/2019/03/27/fourteen-questions-about-your-assignment/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When you know what your God-given assignment in life is, and that God is on your side, you become virtually unstoppable. Will you make mistakes? Of course, but God loves you enough to correct you, redirect you, and get you back on track. ‘How do I go about discovering my assignment?’ you ask. Here are fourteen helpful questions to ask yourself: 1) What desires have been living in me most of my life? 2) What motivates me to work hard and be productive? 3) What keeps me going forward when I’m worn out? 4) What makes me refuse to quit when I meet with resistance? 5) What do I do that doesn’t seem like work? 6) What do I do that brings a positive response and support from people? 7) What am I doing or what’s happening in my life when doors seem to open automatically and effortlessly? 8) What do wise leaders and godly counsellors think about my work? 9) What makes me feel good about being who I am? 10) What makes my creative juices flow? 11) What am I willing to sacrifice in order to accomplish it? 12) What am I doing that I’d be proud to offer for God’s approval? 13) What would I do without being paid for it if I could afford to? 14) What would I be willing to withstand Satan on in order to accomplish? Prayerfully consider these fourteen questions, and they will shed light on your God-given assignment in life.)

ROLL CALL
— Capitol Hill workplace watchdog issues repeat recommendations to Congress New OCWR report urges Hill to join the rest of the country – Katherine Tully-McManus (DIERSEN: Democrats run the federal government. Therefore, in actuality, federal employees do NOT have the right to oppose the promotion of dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, abolition of First and Second Amendment rights, patronage, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, or retaliation.) 
https://www.rollcall.com/news/congress/capitol-hill-workplace-watchdog-issues-repeat-recommendations-congress
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Last year’s overhaul of the workplace complaint reporting and resolution system on Capitol Hill addressed many recommendations from the Office of Congressional Workplace Rights. But the watchdog group is not done yet. Its latest report sent to House and Senate leaders earlier this month suggests further changes to apply federal workplace standards to the legislative branch. Congress hasn’t always chosen to apply to itself the same laws that the rest of the country must follow. When it comes to Hill employee rights, the Congressional Accountability Act of 1995 sets guidelines for the House, Senate and several related agencies. It was originally passed to help ensure that Hill staffers enjoy at least some of the same workplace and employment protections as private- and most public-sector employees.)

— Strategic Human Capital Management is Needed to Address Serious Risks to IRS’s Mission (DIERSEN: GAO audits IRS. I worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $8I,071-$91,880. I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980. I worked for GAO 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $96,403-$125,325/year. I should write a book about those who have wasted, dismissed, belittled, badmouthed, demonized, denigrated, and condemned that work experience the most. They include IRS officials, GAO officials, and past and present U.S. Senators, U.S. Representatives, their staffs, activists, candidates, elected officials, party leaders, major donors, political consultants, etc. in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, DuPage County, Illinois who claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican.)
https://www.gao.gov/products/GAO-19-176
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Fewer individual and corporate tax returns have been audited in recent years, largely because IRS doesn’t have the people it needs to enforce existing tax laws while implementing new laws. As a result, billions of dollars in taxes go unpaid every year. Enforcing tax laws, a High Risk area, is critical to promoting voluntary compliance and collecting unpaid taxes. IRS’s workforce is the key to addressing its challenges. Cultivating a well-equipped and engaged workforce requires strategic human capital management that will help IRS focus its current and future hiring needs. We made 6 recommendations to improve IRS’s human capital management.)
