Because of the Democrats and the RINOs, the worst possible demographics to have include: Trump supporter, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, non-poor, gun owner, German American, draft avoider, and if your ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

— He didn’t have a computer growing up. Now he’s CEO of Google – Kaya Yurieff (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, Democrats and RINOs glorify, praise, and promote those who are or were citizens of foreign countries.)
https://www.cnn.com/2019/06/17/tech/sundar-pichai-google-ceo-boss-files/index.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Pichai wouldn’t own a dedicated computer until he moved to the United States and attended Stanford University on a scholarship. But then the rest was history. He graduated from Stanford with a master’s in engineering and later went on to get an MBA from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. Pichai worked at Applied Materials and McKinsey before joining Google in 2004. There, he held a variety of roles, including overseeing Chrome, product chief of Google and head of the Android operating system. He became CEO in 2015. When asked if he believes the American dream is still alive, Pichai said he still thinks America is a “land of opportunity.” “I still think that’s true today,” he said. “But I think we need to work hard to make sure it is true.” A big part of that is ensuring immigrants have a path to succeed. Pichai has called on Congress to protect Dreamers and has advocated for high-skilled immigration.)

They stress that they got MTRCC to crush me when I ran for MTRCC Treasurer in 2004.)

TRIBUNE STAR
— OUTSTANDING: Clark County may opt out of marijuana sales   Edgar County, cities of Marshall, Paris await further study – Dave Taylor (DIERSEN: Who is taking the lead to stop the sale of pot a) in your municipality and b) in the unincorporated areas of your county? All of the following should be lining up to speak out against pot at public hearings: Republican activists, Republican candidates, Republican elected officials, Republican party leaders, Republican major donors, Republican political consultants, business leaders, religious leaders, healthcare leaders, education leaders, law enforcement leaders, etc.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Clark County could become the first local government in Illinois to ban the sale of marijuana under legislation that permits recreational use of cannabis statewide effective Jan. 1 but includes an “opt out” provision for local communities. In mid-May, while the measure was still under debate in Springfield but before it passed, Clark County Board member Jim Bolin raised the issue of a local prohibition and said he would have an appropriate resolution prepared. Bolin was out of the country last week and not available for comment. County Clerk Laura Lee said no resolution is available for review yet but the matter is on the agenda for the board’s next meeting, which will be at 8 a.m. Friday. Any ban imposed by the board would apply only in unincorporated areas of the county, covering about 48 percent of the total population of about 16,000. It would also apply only to the sale of marijuana and not its use.)

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.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: ‘We have a lot of evaluating to do’ Local officials say they have been watching the issue but it’s unclear how the legislation will impact McHenry County. Harvard City Council likely will discuss the matter this month, City Administrator Dave Nelson said. “If [council members] don’t have any issues with it, we don’t have to do anything,” Nelson said. “In the event they get a client to retail here, there is a tax on that, and that’s another discussion.” Municipalities can impose a local tax on recreational marijuana, under the bill. They cannot ban its use but can enact ordinances to regulate where the shops are allowed to open. “A unit of local government, including a home-rule or non-home-rule county within the unincorporated territory of the county may enact ordinances to prohibit or significantly limit a cannabis business establishment’s location,” according to a portion of the bill. Inquiries about launching a marijuana business in Harvard have already come in, said Charles Eldredge, director of the Harvard-Woodstock enterprise zone. He said several potential growers had approached him about the possibilities and were looking at sites within the enterprise zone. “The city of Harvard has expressed to me that they would be very open to a grow facility located in the enterprise zone,” Eldredge said. The Woodstock City Council discussed the matter at a recent workshop, but a clear stance on the issue hasn’t yet emerged, City Manager Roscoe Stelford said. “We have a lot of evaluating to do,” Stelford said. “My understanding of the law is that you can’t ban the use. You can only ban the sale. There will be communities that allow it because it’s now lawful, and you will see the impact … but we still need to do more research. It’s still so new.”)

NEW YORK TIMES
— With Most States Under One Party’s Control, America Grows More Divided – Timothy Williams
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/11/us/state-legislatures-partisan-polarized.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When J.B. Pritzker took over as the governor of Illinois this year, Democratic lawmakers, who had spent four years at an impasse with his Republican predecessor, vowed that their party’s new grip on the State Capitol would bring immediate change. The pace has been startling. In recent months, Illinois legislators have moved sharply to the left, deeming abortion a fundamental right for women no matter what the Supreme Court might decide, raising the minimum wage, taking steps to legalize recreational marijuana and introducing a graduated income tax. . .Alabama and Illinois — one overwhelmingly red, the other blue — were more representative of this year’s tone, providing perhaps the best examples of political parties moving to enact utterly different agendas. After Alabama effectively banned abortion last month, female lawmakers in Illinois responded almost immediately, pressing through a bill expanding abortion rights in their state. (Abortion rights groups have sued to stop the Alabama law from taking effect.) And while Illinois voted to allow sports betting and to legalize recreational marijuana, Alabama failed to approve either a state lottery or medical marijuana. . .In Illinois, Republicans were in much the same position as Democrats in Alabama: Outnumbered and outflanked. And like Alabama Democrats, Illinois Republicans lost nearly every vote of significance. In addition to voting to raise the minimum wage to $15 by 2025, the state legislature became the first in the nation to pass a bill legalizing both the sale and possession of marijuana. (In other states, voters have approved such laws through ballot initiatives.) Dale Righter, a Republican in the Illinois Senate, said that without power, Republicans’ hopes relied on conservative Democratic voters deciding that their lawmakers had gone too far. “I have no doubt that there are Democratic voters saying, ‘Hey, this isn’t what I signed up for,’” he said.)

— 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.)

But her income dropped in 1992 when she lost her job working for the U.S. League of Savings Institutions and my income dropped much more in 1997 when I lost my job working for GAO. I went on short vacations in 1969, 1970, 1971, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, and 1977.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Through letter campaigns and petition drives, Mike Barbier, now a Wheaton city councilman, and his fellow South classmates enlisted the support of lawmakers who passed a bill signed by President Donald Trump last December to rename the post office after Williams. Barbier knew Williams as a social butterfly in high school. Shortly after graduation, Williams joined the Army, motivated by a call of duty after the Sept. 11 attacks.)

— Opportunities await grads who are prepared – Frank Napolitano, Chairman of the Board, College of DuPage, Bloomingdale (DIERSEN: If I had not had a high school diploma, the Post Office would not have hired me in 1966 when I was 18 years old. If I had not had a job-related bachelor’s degree, Firestone Stores would not have hired me in 1970, Oldsmobile would not have offered me a job in 1971, and IRS would not have hired me in 1971. If I had not been taking job-related graduate courses, IRS might not have promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974. If I had not earned a job-related master’s degree in 1976, if I had not passed the CPA examination in 1979, and if I had not almost completed the requirements for a second job-related master’s degree, GAO would not have hired me in 1980. If I had not completed the requirements for a second job-related master’s degree in 1980, passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination in 1981, and became a licensed CPA in 1981, GAO might not have promoted me in 1986. If I had not earned job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997 and completed the requirements for a third job-related master’s degree in 1997, my Democrat GAO superiors might have succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” sooner than they did.)

— Conflicts of interest can be interesting in Joliet – BOB OKON
https://www.theherald-news.com/2019/06/07/okon-conflicts-of-interest-can-be-interesting-in-joliet/a5gw6tz/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Interim City Manager Martin Shanahan meets the job description to become the permanent city manager, the city council was advised last week. Interim City Attorney Chris Regis provided the opinion because the matter had been raised by at least one council member. Interestingly enough, Regis delivered the opinion moments before Mayor Bob O’Dekirk declared that city staff should not be involved in any application process or candidate search for a permanent city manager because it would be a conflict of interest. The theory is that since all city staff falls under the supervision of Shanahan as interim city manager, they have a conflict of interest in the selection of a new city manager. Therefore, city employees who normally would be involved in a city hiring process cannot be called upon to provide staff support for the council in a candidate search or even in a simple posting of the job. Apparently, no conflict of interest applied to Regis, however, in determining that Shanahan met the job qualifications, although Regis is a city employee who was advising the council on whether they could hire Shanahan for the job.)

All of the following should be lining up to speak out against pot at public hearings: Republican activists, Republican candidates, Republican elected officials, Republican party leaders, Republican major donors, Republican political consultants, business leaders, religious leaders, healthcare leaders, education leaders, law enforcement leaders, etc.) 
https://www.eagletribune.com/news/haverhill/pot-shop-supporters-picket-opponent-s-restaurant/article_4cd9e075-a0f1-5b5a-99b6-1937ebf4d0a5.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A lawsuit filed against a business that plans to sell recreational marijuana brought about 20 protesters to Railroad Square late Saturday morning. They stood across the street from Mark’s Deli, whose owner along with two other plaintiffs has challenged the city’s decision to allow the opening of a pot shop in the now-vacant quarters of the Sons of Italy at 124 Washington St. The lawsuit alleges that allowing the shop violates the constitutional rights of nearby property owners, violates federal narcotics laws and is detrimental to Haverhill. “I believe strongly we need to get the underground economy into the mainstream,” said Douglas Edison, a longtime community activist who is running for City Council. “Why are we stopping it? You can’t just say ‘no’ to everything,” he said. Edison pointed out the shop will pay taxes to the city. “We need money for schools,” Edison added. Caroline Pineau, who already owns and operates the Yoga Tree at 90 Washington St., hopes to open the recreational marijuana store. “I’ve been fighting for this for 15 years,” said Michael Crawford of Marblehead. He called the lawsuit “frivolous.” A friend of his who suffered from mental health problems and addiction had a very positive outcome after he started using medicinal marijuana, Crawford said. “It turned his life around,” he said. Crawford wore a shirt bearing the message, “more weed, less greed.” Another City Council candidate, Nick Golden, said Pineau is being “unfairly targeted” by the lawsuit. “She represents the type of person and entrepreneur that we’re trying to attract,” said Golden, who is on the staff of state Rep. Lori Ehrlich, D-Marblehead. “I think it’s really important to support small business owners,” Christina Barbieri, a former Haverhill resident, said. She and others noted that possession of marijuana is now legal in Massachusetts and that Haverhill voters supported this change. The protesters held signs with messages such as “drop the lawsuit.” Many motorists driving by honked in support of the cause. A few people voiced their objection to having a pot shop in the city, Crawford said. One man confronted the protesters and called them “immature.” As he walked away from the group, he extended his two middle fingers. Two police officers were assigned to the demonstration, which remained orderly. Officer James Keenan advised the man who made the obscene gestures to not cause a disturbance. Jess Hileman, a lifelong Haverhill resident and longtime patron of Mark’s Deli, said he does not think the owner of the restaurant objects to having a pot shop in Haverhill. “He only opposes the location,” he said. Hileman also said he did not think it was fair that some of the protesters were depicting the owner as a bad guy. A patron at Mark’s Deli said the owner did not want to speak to the media. The lawsuit lists the plaintiffs as Bradford Brooks, a local realty professional; Lloyd Jennings, a contractor; and Steve Dimakis, owner of Mark’s Deli. Brooks and Jennings are described as trustees of L&B Realty Trust. Dimakis is identified as a trustee of the Evthokia Realty Trust.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Public records show that lies went unchecked during the hiring process for a former Victoria teacher and coach accused of sexually assaulting a student. James Christopher White, 34, was arrested in February on charges of sexual assault of a minor and improper relationship between an educator and student while working as a wrestling coach and special education teacher in Victoria. The charges, which are under review by prosecutors, came after he admitted that he attempted to have sexual intercourse with a 16-year-old student in a hotel room during a school-related function, according to court records and officials from the Victoria County Sheriff’s Office. A more detailed background check on White would have revealed red flags: the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement, or TCOLE, revoked his peace officer and jailer licenses in 2012. The action came after he was terminated and dishonorably discharged for untruthfulness or insubordination from Mathis and Orange Grove police departments, according to records from all three agencies.)

https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/so-you-want-to-hire-a-new-48064/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Personnel Search Committees” and the Screening Process: As for its actual search, the board could vote to create a personnel search committee. Such a committee, when formed with respect to an “executive level” position (such as a superintendent), is exempt in its entirety from the FOIA and its open meetings and notice/posting requirements. The appointment of such a personnel search committee is useful in that it protects the privacy rights of those being interviewed and avoids the need of the board to take official action in narrowing the field of candidates (even to the final recommended candidate) as part of the interview process. The FOIA also protects from disclosure any records of a personnel search committee which would reveal the identity of a candidate (without that candidate’s consent). . .Not all gatherings of a board committee ostensibly acting as a search committee will be considered exempt from the FOIA’s meetings and posting requirements. A personnel search committee is exempt from the FOIA’s requirements for only as long as it is engaging in activities protected by the search committee exception. Based upon the FOIA, the Freedom of Information Commission [“FOIC”] views the role of a personnel search committee for purposes of this FOIA’s exemption as limited to 1) reviewing resumes, 2) interviewing and screening candidates and 3) considering and recommending the selection and appointment of an individual for the position.)

The bill that passed in the Illinois House on the last day of the legislative session in Springfield, Friday, May 31, was passed by the Illinois Senate just two days before. Gov. J.B. Pritzker is expected to sign the bill, but marijuana remains illegal at the federal level. The bill gives some control to local municipalities, including creating zoning regulations and limiting dispensary options for operating, along with allowing for some new tax revenue for local communities. “First we have to read the law thoroughly,” Glenview Village President Jim Patterson said. “You can have one sentence (buried in the bill) throw it all away.” Patterson said he fully expects village trustees to consider and act on the bill by October, before it takes effect. Niles Village Manager Steve Vinezeano said a Tuesday, June 11 village board meeting has been scheduled for village staffers to present details about the bill to Niles trustees and discuss options. Vinezeano said 52 percent of Niles residents voted in a recent referendum in favor of the state legalizing recreational marijuana. “That doesn’t mean they want a dispensary down the block.” Vinezeano said firefighters, police, Family Services and community development officials all have concerns.)

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.

http://www.lakeconews.com/index.php/news/61455-clearlake-city-council-to-consider-applicants-for-vacant-council-seat
(FROM THE ARTICLE: During a special Thursday afternoon meeting, the Clearlake City Council will consider applicants for a vacant council seat. The council will meet at 3 p.m. Thursday, June 6, in the council chambers at Clearlake City Hall, 14050 Olympic Drive. On May 9, Mayor Nick Bennett resigned as he prepared to move to South Dakota, as Lake County News has reported. At a May 13 special meeting, the council directed City Clerk Melissa Swanson to advertise the vacancy for appointment and accept applications with a June 4 deadline. The city has received six applications for the seat, which has a term ending in November 2020. Applicants are Cristina Azanza, the founder of a nonprofit, Azanza Inc.; David Claffey, a marketing and communications professional who serves on the city’s marketing committee; Desserrie Shaw, who has experience as a board member and president of the Konocti County Water District; Erin McCarrick, who owns cannabis companies Clearlake Ventures and Cara Farms and a consulting business, Madrone Strategies; Russell Perdock, the city’s former mayor who resigned last year to pursue the police chief’s job and now is director of community integration for Adventist Health Clear Lake; and Pattie Duke, a registered nurse case manager. Swanson’s report to the council said staff is recommending that the council interview the six applicants at Thursday’s meeting. The candidate they pick will be approved for the appointment by motion, majority vote and resolution. The appointee would then be given the oath and seated at the June 13 meeting, Swanson said.)

https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbescoachescouncil/2019/06/06/six-tips-to-overcome-age-discrimination-at-work/#6df609b7390e
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Age discrimination may be against the U.S. labor laws, but I’ll bet you or someone you know has been on the wrong side of this form of discrimination in the workplace. In fact, nearly two out of three workers aged 45 and older have seen or experienced age discrimination on the job, according to an AARP workplace survey. So let’s face it: It’s real, and you need to know how to deal with it. As a career coach, I know firsthand that many professionals feel one of their greatest career challenges after age 40 is age discrimination. To help overcome this obstacle, I’ve developed several tips that have helped people of a certain vintage successfully navigate the job market.)

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.)

http://www.wheatonchamber.com/news/details/news-release-01-12-2012-237
(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.

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.)
