ONE NEWS NOW
— Illinois on verge of becoming sanctuary state #4 – Chad Groening  (DIERSEN: One could argue that if Rauner signs SB 31, he has become a Democrat and he told Republicans to buzz off.  Will that reelect him in 2018?)
https://www.onenewsnow.com/national-security/2017/06/08/illinois-on-verge-of-becoming-sanctuary-state-4
(FROM THE ARTICLE: An immigration border enforcement advocacy organization hopes the Republican governor of Illinois will veto a bill that would give sanctuary to illegal immigrants in the state. On the last day of its legislative session, the Illinois Legislature sent Governor Bruce Rauner a bill that critics say would tie the hands of law enforcement and significantly undermine federal immigration enforcement in the state. The Trust Act (SB 31) significantly restricts immigration officials’ ability to detain and deport illegal aliens, even if convicted of a crime. Ira Mehlman, a spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform, argues the bill “essentially declares that Illinois is not going to participate in any way in federal immigration enforcement.” “And they are going to make it has difficult as possible for the federal government itself to enforce immigration laws in the state of Illinois,” he adds. SB 31 – if it becomes law – would make Illinois the fourth sanctuary state in the country, joining Oregon, California, and Connecticut. But Mehlman holds out hope that won’t happen, pointing out that Rauner is a Republican. Mehlman, Ira (Federation for American Immigration Reform)”… It’s now going to be up to him to decide whether this dangerous bill should become law or whether, properly, he should veto it,” says Mehlman. “And that may be a good reason why the people of Illinois elected him to kind of serve as a firewall between the public interest and a legislature that seems to be out of control.” Rauner, who is running for re-election, has not spoken on the Trust Act. He has 60 days to decide whether he will sign it.)

http://chicago.suntimes.com/politics/do-illinois-core-priorities-for-payment-match-yours/
(FROM THE ARTICLE:  The comptroller refers to this first-in-line category as its “core priority” payments. Core priority payments total about $1.85 billion each month, representing about 90 percent of the state’s average monthly revenues, Schoeben explained. The largest chunk of that — $593 million — is the state’s monthly contribution to its five public retirement systems that pay the pensions of state workers, teachers, university employees, judges and legislators. Next largest is the state payroll, at $370 million a month, which pays the salaries of 63,000 state employees who keep the government operating.)

http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20170607/NEWS03/170609889/illinois-comptroller-must-pay-medicaid-providers-more
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A group of nonprofits and attorneys sought to make the state abide by previous court orders that require paying Medicaid providers. On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Joan Lefkow agreed, noting that state Comptroller Susana Mendoza, who pays the state’s bills, has made other payments in full, including to the state payroll and pensions. . .In May, Mendoza told Crain’s editorial board that if insurers won, she would lose what little discretion she has to decide who gets paid first. Now, she prioritizes payments for agencies that care for the most vulnerable populations, including children and people with disabilities.)

That could change on 6/20, when voters in Georgia’s 6th congressional district elect a new U.S. Representative in a contest where the lines are clearly demarcated: Trump vs. anti-Trump. IL-6 is occupied by Peter Roskam (R). Both districts are historically Republican, GA-6 being in Atlanta’s western suburbs and IL-6 being in Chicago’s western suburbs (mostly DuPage Co.). Both are upscale, with high median income and low minority population. But both went for Clinton over Trump by 50-48% in 2016. The Democrats, in their 2011 remap, packed every possible Republican into IL-6, including Barrington and west Lake Co. (Lake Zurich), and Roskam won with 59% in 2016, spending $3.3 million. He should have a safe seat. But Roskam is a party-line Republican, and backed the repeal/reform of parts of the Affordable Care Act. Three Democratic women are running, and all will trumpet the anti-Trump line. Watch GA-6 on 6/20.)

ROCHELLE NEWS
— Consolidation of roads, bridges could mean shift at township levels – Lori Hammelman
https://rochellenews-leader.com/article/consolidation-of-roads-bridges-could-mean-shift-at-township-levels
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Lt. Gov. weighs in  Ill. Lt. Gov. Evelyn Sanguinetti last week applauded the passage of the bill that would allow township trustees to initiate these referendums, which could lead to a consolidation. Currently only township trustees in Cook County have this power. Two Cook County townships have successfully initiated and passed referendums to consolidate their road districts. It is said officials from both of these townships anticipate greater service efficiencies, thus taxpayer savings from consolidation. “I applaud the General Assembly for passing this bill to give all townships – not just those in Cook County – the authority to consolidate as they deem necessary,” said Lt. Governor Evelyn Sanguinetti.  “We pay the highest property taxes in the nation and, not coincidentally, we have more units of government than any other state.  This bill is the start of a larger effort to give both citizens and local boards the power to consolidate government.” Another supporter of the bill is State Representative Tom Demmer. “I’m glad to support this bill which empowers voters to choose what’s best for their community,” said Rep. Demmer. “If consolidation makes sense for them, they can now choose to lower the cost of government and reduce their tax burden.”)

— How Did Accused NSA Leaker Reality Winner Get Security Clearance? – KEN DILANIAN  (DIERSEN: Many millions of people do not apply for federal jobs because they know that they cannot pass a background check. I passed background checks a) in 1966 when I was 18 for my Post Office job, b) in 1971 for my IRS job, and c) in 1980 for my GAO job.)
http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/how-did-accused-nsa-leaker-reality-winner-get-security-clearance-n768816
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When the news broke that Reality Winner, a 25-year-old NSA contractor with an apparently heavy social media presence, had been charged with leaking a classified document to reporters, many people wondered: How does someone so young have a such a top-level security clearance? It’s actually very common. “The vast majority of people who do the National Security Agency’s intercept work, who translate and analyze — most of them are fresh out of high school,” said Matthew Aid, an intelligence historian who has written about the NSA. “There are thousands and thousands of 18 to 21-year-olds doing critically important and secret work around the world.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Donald Trump is tapping former Assistant Attorney General Chris Wray to serve as the next director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the president said in a tweet. Mr. Wray, who has lately served as a white-collar defense lawyer, met with Mr. Trump late last month at the White House for an interview. The selection of Mr. Wray caps a month-long search that began in May after Mr. Trump fired then-FBI Director James Comey. Mr. Wray has represented New Jersey Gov.

COLUMBIA JOURNALISM REVIEW
— Ebony pushes black journalists’ patience to the limit – Adeshina Emmanuel  (DIERSEN: To get someone other than me who BOTH could and would do for you what I do for you as your GOPUSA Illinois Editor, you would have to pay that person $200,000 a year, if not more.  Like me, that person would be viciously demonized, viciously denigrated, and viciously condemned by individuals, by organizations, by companies, by governments, and by countries that 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 for a long time.)

http://www.capitalgazette.com/opinion/columns/ph-ac-ce-column-hoyer-0607-20170606-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: This assault on our federal employees is the most recent in an ongoing campaign by many Republicans to denigrate those who serve our country in civilian roles and make it harder to recruit and retain the most talented Americans for these jobs. If their agenda is enacted, there is no question it would weaken our country and put our national security and the strength of our economy at risk.)

The Trump administration proposal, which will be presented at the White House later Monday, essentially is an endorsement of a plan that failed to gain sufficient traction in Congress last year.)

If I had not earned an MBA in 1976, if I had not been taking graduate accounting classes, and if I had not passed the CPA examination in 1979, GAO would not have offered me a job in 1980.  If I had not earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, if I had not passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination in 1981, if I had not become a licensed CPA in 1981, and if I had not earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading in 1997, GAO would not have promoted me in 1986 and GAO would have gotten rid of me much sooner than it did.)

Many, if not most, if not virtually all for my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I should have been forced to suffer a $57,808 (64%) pay cut in today’s dollars, that is, a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5, currently $90,173, to GS-4 Step 1, currently $32,365.  They demonized, denigrated, and condemned  a)  my IRS work experience and that much of it was similar to what GAO employees do, b) my having passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c)  my almost completing the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul, d) my having earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, e) etc.  They never would have done that if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, or a veteran.)

(FROM THE ARETICLE: The federal workforce. Blech. Blech, now more than ever, or so it seems, in the minds of the new administration. “A waste of your money,” Trump’s budget director, Mick Mulvaney, said in March about federal climate-change research. “Can we really continue to ask a coal miner in West Virginia or a single mom in Detroit to pay for these programs?” he had said about public broadcasting. “Taxpayers are stuck paying for overly generous compensation,” Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), chair of the House subcommittee on government operations, said about federal employees as a whole — the big morass of some 2.8 million civil servants nationwide. Donald Trump, master of punchy catchphrases, had spent his campaign and the early days of his presidency promising to do the same thing: “Drain that swamp.” The swamp was the federal government of Washington. The epicenter of the swamp was metaphorically at 80 F St. NW, in the office of a stocky 66-year-old man named J. David Cox. Cox is the president of the American Federation of Government Employees, the largest federal workers union in America. More than 300,000 dues-paying members, and around 400,000 more also protected by default. “Every Zip code in America,” as Cox likes to say. “Coast to coast, Guam to Europe.”)

FEDERAL NEWS RADIO
— Poking the retiree beehive – Mike Causey  (DIERSEN: I am one of the 70,215 federal retirees in Illinois. Needless-to-say, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes would be overjoyed if Trump would cut if not end my Civil Service Retirement System pension, my Social Security, and/or my COLAs.)
https://federalnewsradio.com/mike-causey-federal-report/2017/06/poking-the-retiree-beehive/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Currently there are 2,625, 261 federal retirees or their survivors.  Right now, as you read this, another 300,000 active duty federal workers are eligible to retire and will, sooner or later, do so.  That’s a lot of people. Go into any McDonald’s, from Scottsville, Ky., to Pismo Beach, Calif., at any time of the day and you will likely see a former fed, or six, chowing down and talking.  The same for your local grocery store whether it is in Washington, D.C., to Washington Court House, Pa.  Or on Guam or American Samoa.  Former feds, and their wallets, purses or credit cards, are just about everywhere. Years ago a very sophisticated federal retiree — my mother — who lived near Fort Myers, Fla., explained that lots of people continue to eat out after retirement “we just do it earlier.”  So we may not see them, but they are definitely there.  According to data from the Office of Personnel Management just over 17 percent of all federal retirees have monthly annuities of $4,000 or more.  Another 22 percent get between $3,000 and $2,999 while 14 percent get $1,000 to $1,999.  Fewer than 9 percent get $1,000 or less per month from their civil service retirement benefit.   Most of the current retirees are under the older CSRS system which fully indexes their annuities to inflation regardless of age.   Workers retiring under the FERS system get cost of living adjustments (starting at age 62) that are partially indexed to inflation.  At least since the Reagan administration. But life-after-retirement (for current feds too) could change drastically if Congress goes along with the Trump administration plan to charge current workers 6 percent more for their retirement benefits, to reduce COLAs for CSRS retirees by giving them 0.5 percent less than the actual increase in inflation each year, by eliminating COLAs completely for FERS retirees (9 out of every 10 current workers is under FERS and would become part of the Zero Diet COLA group), and to eliminate an annual “gap” payment that now goes to FERS retirees until they reach age 62 and become eligible for Social Security. Although they too retire under an enhanced version of the civil service retirement program, many politicians at the House, Senate and now White House level view federal workers either as clowns, drones or creatures from the swamp.  They lap up studies — usually from conservative think tanks —showing federal workers are overpaid and ignore those that show feds, particularly at higher grade and skill levels, are dramatically underpaid compared to their private sector counterparts in Washington, Houston, San Francisco and New York City. Reducing the buying power of federal workers (by making them pay more for their pensions) and retirees, by reducing or eliminating COLAs in the future, could hurt many communities that depend on the federal pay or pension dollar to stay afloat.  So how big a deal is the federal-postal retiree dollar.  Check out this chart from the OPM.  It shows the number of retirees (and their survivor annuitants in each state, and the value of their annuity payments.  The chart does not include the value of Thrift Savings Plan accounts the retirees have or any Social Security payments they received for covered work before or after they were in government:)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/letters/ct-the-founding-fathers-risked-everything-for-america-would-trump-20170531-story.html
(FROM THE LETTER: Trump, on the other hand, never served in the military (bone spurs won him a deferment but, strangely, didn’t stop him from playing football, tennis and squash in high school at the New York Military Academy). He never served in local government, on a library board or water commission, church council, or the PTA. There’s no evidence at all that Trump ever cared for anything other than Donald Trump. When asked by ABC’s George Stephanopoulos about sacrifices Trump had made for his country, Trump replied, “I’ve … built great structures. I’ve had tremendous success.” That’s greed, not sacrifice.)

http://www.dailyherald.com/news/20170601/lester-no-fly-zones-for-drones-over-cook-county-property
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “If we really want to change something, you really have to get the cojones over there to stand up to Gov. Rauner,” Democratic state Sen. Melinda Bush admonished her Republican counterparts in the dwindling hours of the legislative session, where members of both parties got increasingly testy with one another. Bush, of Grayslake, made the comments after the chamber passed a two-year property tax freeze that had only three Republican votes. Most suburban GOP lawmakers didn’t vote on the bill at all, with Senate Republican Leader Christine Radogno of Lemont and Sens. Mike Connelly of Wheaton, Chris Nybo of Elmhurst and Tom Rooney of Rolling Meadows all voting “present.”)

GOVERNMENT EXECUTIVE
— The Trump Budget’s Assault on Federal Workers – Sen.

http://www.govexec.com/excellence/management-matters/2017/05/trump-budgets-assault-federal-workers/138304/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A budget is supposed to reflect the president’s priorities and the values our country holds dear. Unfortunately, the budget President Trump recently sent to Congress shows how much disdain he has for federal employees and the taxpayers they help and support every day. Civil servants perform countless tasks that assist, defend and protect Americans. They are saving lives, empowering small businesses, keeping America safe from harm, and otherwise ensuring a safe and prosperous future for our country, children and families. Many of our federal employees perform jobs that no one else can do, often in places no one else would work.)

DAILY HERALD
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH COLOR PHOTOS OF MCSWEENEY AND DRURY: What happens when two suburban lawmakers defy Rauner, Madigan – Kerry Lester (DIERSEN: Who do you defy?  I defy Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC), DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party (IRP) leaders who are Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, and RINOs a) when I promote the traditional family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving), and other planks in the IRP platform and in the Republican Party platform and b) when I promote the MTRCC resolution against video gambling.  What has happened to me?  I am no longer the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman, a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member, the MTRCC webmaster, an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member, or an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member.)
http://www.dailyherald.com/news/20170530/what-happens-when-two-suburban-lawmakers-defy-rauner-madigan
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But going it alone is not without costs, big or small. When engraved clocks by Irish-American designer Simon-Pearce were handed out to the rest of the Democratic caucus earlier this year, Drury didn’t get one. . .Subsequently, Drury was removed from his spot on the judiciary committee. Most bills Drury has sponsored this session have landed in a sort of legislative purgatory — the rules committee — and would emerge only if Madigan and Democratic leaders allowed it, something Drury has pointed out in news releases. . .Drury says he gets praise back home in his North suburban district, but at the Capitol, he’s ostracized and spends much of his free time on his own. During Democratic caucus meetings, he appears sullen and withdrawn and often leaves the party sessions early when Democrats begin discussing upcoming votes on important bills. . .McSweeney rarely attends caucus meetings at all. “The governor doesn’t need to tell me what to do. And that’s what the Republican caucus is, getting marching orders from the governor’s office,” said McSweeney, an investment specialist. Instead, McSweeney spends his time trying to drum up votes for the bills he hopes to pass and dining with Democratic lawmakers and close confidants of Madigan. He’s made a habit of inviting members of the black caucus, including Democratic state Rep. Christian Mitchell of Chicago, to town hall meetings in his Northwest suburban district. Unlike Drury’s experience, where many of his bills have died in committee, McSweeney said he hasn’t been retaliated upon by the GOP, and his bills — which also depend on Democratic leaders calling them for a vote — have tended to pass by wide, bipartisan margins. . .Both Drury and McSweeney have the financial wherewithal and the help of wealthy friends to fund their campaigns without depending on party leaders for donations. Neither received more than $1,500 from party sources in the last election cycle, Illinois State Board of Elections records show.)
— FRONT PAGE: Bill to stop cop pension double dipping, based on Naperville case, passes – Chacour Koop  (DIERSEN: If I sought a government office or a political office, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes would shout that I get both a Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension ($50,856/year) and Social Security ($2,028/year). In my defense, my Social Security is dramatically reduced because I get a CSRS pension.)
