DAILY HERALD
— DuPage video gambling discussion set for Tuesday – Robert Sanchez  (DIERSEN:  OUTRAGEOUS: GAMBLING IS A VICE: DuPage County Finance Committee will revisit the county’s ban on video gaming in unincorporated areas. Please join Kathy Gilroy, me, and others who will speak at the DuPage County Finance Committee meeting Tuesday, June 13, 2017, at 7:30 AM, in favor of keeping the ban on video gambling in unincorporated DuPage County.  Based on the minutes of the May 23, 2017 DuPage County Board meeting, a motion will be made at this meeting to refer the matter to another committee. If you are in DuPage County, please urge DuPage County Board Chairman Dan Cronin, the 18 DuPage County Board members, and especially, the 3 board members who represent your district, to vote to keep the ban. Needless-to-say, before any vote is taken to lift the ban, public hearings should be held in each of the county’s six districts. In 2009, the Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC) unanimously passed a resolution against video gambling throughout DuPage County. Since then, no MTRCC member has done anything to rescind that resolution.)
http://www.dailyherald.com/news/20170610/dupage-video-gambling-discussion-set-for-tuesday
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Tuesday’s discussion is scheduled for a 7:30 a.m. finance committee meeting at the DuPage County administration building, 421 N. County Farm Road in Wheaton. Depending on how the meeting goes, the panel could vote that morning to make a recommendation to the full county board. “It’s important that we make a decision either way,” Fichtner said. “There needs to be an understanding of how much we either support or don’t support the current ban.” . . . Kathy Gilroy, an anti-gambling advocate from Villa Park, said lifting the ban would harm residents without providing a significant benefit to the county. . . “It provides income for the owner of the machine and the location,” Gilroy said. “It’s not a big help to the county.”  Gilroy plans to attend Tuesday’s meeting to speak to the county board members. “I’m not surprised that they’re discussing it again,” she said. “I’ll be surprised if they overturn their ban.”  If the finance committee recommends repealing the ban, the full county board would take a final vote on a later date.)

But the term usually refers to the act of providing confidential information to the public in a surreptitious way and without official authorization. That is a neutral description, but Mr. Trump on Friday used the term in a way that was clearly intended to carry pejorative connotations: “He’s a leaker,” Mr. Trump said of Mr. Comey at a news conference.)

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.)

(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.)

RUSS STEWART
— GA-6 OUTCOME WILL BE HARBINGER FOR ROSKAM IN 2018
http://www.russstewart.com/russ-analysis.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: GA-6 is not quite IL-6 — at least not yet. 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.)

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/07/us/student-loan-forgiveness.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The program has been praised for enticing college graduates to take on low-paying public service jobs, and criticized as perversely enticing students to take on large amounts of debt.)

WASHINGTON POST
— Comey hearing: Former FBI director says Trump administration ‘told lies’ when they explained his firing – Devlin Barrett and Ellen Nakashima  (DIERSEN: If my Democrat superiors in the federal government would be honest about why they took adverse actions against me, they would say a) I have always been a Republican and I refused to become a Democrat, b) I complained about patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, and c) I became an active member in a class action lawsuit in 1988 that charged GAO with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.)

— The $833 billion albatross around the necks of women with college degrees – Danielle Douglas-Gabriel  (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes would hint/imply/argue/shout a) that men, and especially White men, have always gotten preference big time and b) that is why women have more college debt then men.  In my defense, few women wanted or would take the “bad” jobs that I had when I was young doing yard work, delivering newspapers, washing dishes, cleaning golf shoes, chipping slag, pumping gasoline, delivering mail, working on an automobile assembly line, and working as a security guard.  With the money that I earned/saved doing those “bad” jobs that few women wanted or would take, I graduated debt-free from NIU in 1970 and owning a 1969 Dodge Charger SE.)

Lockport Police Chief Terry Lemming says since pot was legalized in Colorado, traffic deaths have risen. Marijuana related traffic deaths are up 48-percent, overall 28-percent of traffic deaths are marijuana related while hospitalizations are up 22-percent. Lemming sites studies that suggest marijuana negatively impacts the brain’s of developing teens. Taxing marijuana will have little impact in solving Illinois’ budget crisis. In Colorado, Lemming says marijuana sales account for only one-half of one percent of the revenue in Colorado.)

Because I blew the whistle, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, 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 an $18,847 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.  My Democrat IRS did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974.  My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)

MONEY MAGAZINE
— Saving $1 Million for Retirement Is Possible Even If You Start at Age 50 – Jennifer Calfas  (DIERSEN: So far, in today’s dollars, my Democrat GAO superiors’ success in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old has cost me $1,424,844, that is, lost salary of $2,429,250 ($10,250/month X 237 months) minus pension payments of $1,004,406 ($4,238/month X 237 months).)
http://time.com/money/4798284/retirement-saving-401k/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The chart below from the AAII shows five different scenarios of how much people can accumulate by saving from age 50 to age 70:
You make the maximum 401(k) contribution, including the catch-up contribution allowed for those 50 or older (a total of $24,000 a year). You make the full $18,000 a year 401(k) contribution, but skip the catch-up provision. You save $1,000 a month (setting aside $12,000 a year). You contribute the maximum to an IRA, including a catch-up contribution ($6,500 per year). You make the maximum $5,500 IRA contribution, but skip the catch-up provision. In each case, Charles Rotblut, a vice president at AAII and editor of the AAII Journal, assumed that you would earn 8% a year from a stock and bond portfolio. The 401(k) and IRA contribution limits are based on the rules for 2017.The projected account balance at 70 years old ranges from $1.3 million for a person who maxes out his or her 401(k) including catch-up contributions to $300,000 for a person who saves only to the basic $5,500 annual IRA limit.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Concerns raised about how Trump budget plan would impact Fermilab, Argonne – Sarah Freishtat  (DIERSEN: All during the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO 1980-1997, GAO’s budget was cut in relative or absolute terms.  Tragically, few politicians raised concerns about that.  The Democrats who ran GAO used a) those cuts and b) Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion to get rid of GAO employees who were Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)

— Retirement: Figuring your Social Security break-even age – Kevin McCormally  (DIERSEN: If I sought a government office or a political office, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes would viciously demonize me, viciously denigrate me, and viciously condemn me as being a doubledipper because I get both a Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension and Social Security.  In my defense, my Social Security is dramatically reduced because a get a CSRS pension.  I earned both CSRS and Social security credits while I worked part-time for the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969 and while I worked part-time for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights 1971-1972.)

— Crete-Monee High School students call for expulsion after classmate makes racist post on Instagram – MEGHAN DWYER (DIERSEN: I graduated from Crete-Monee High School in 1966. Of course, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes use that against me. They stress that at least through the 1970s, Crete residents were overwhelming German-American Lutherans. They hint/imply/argue/shout that at least though the 1970s, Crete was full of racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse people. All of my ancestors are German-American Lutherans and they have lived in Crete since 1854. I lived in Crete 1948-1972. I did not move to Wheaton until 1978.  My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes in Wheaton continue to paint me as being a German American, a Lutheran, a racist, a sexist, a bigot, and even worse things. They talk and act like they want me to sue them for slander.  How should I react to that?)

SAUK VALLEY
— Consolidation bill offers hope for supporters of smaller government  Townships in Illinois could be made more efficient if Gov. Rauner signs a bill to empower trustees to initiate road district consolidation referendums across the state, if trustees use that newfound power, and if voters give their approval – but that’s a lot of ifs. – Editorial  (DIERSEN: How much interaction have you had with township trustees?  Since 1999, I have had lots of interaction with township trustees in DuPage County, and especially with Milton Township trustees. What do township trustees think of you? How do township trustees treat you?  I should write a book about past and present township trustees a) who viciously demonize me, b) who viciously denigrate me, c) who viciously condemn me, d) who blame me for all of their problems, e) who blame me for all of your problems, f) who blame me for all of my problems, g) who blame me for all of everyone’s problems, h) who are overjoyed that I am no longer the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman, i) who are overjoyed that I am no longer a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member, j) who are overjoyed that I am no longer the Milton Township Republican Central Committee webmaster, k) who are overjoyed that I am no longer an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member, l) who are overjoyed that I am no longer an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member, m) who are overjoyed that I am no longer a GAO employee, n) who focus on stopping me from putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out, o) who focus on stopping everyone from reading the emails, and p) who act like they have promised lots of money, a new home, a new car, a sweetheart job, a sweetheart contract, favorable legislation, and/or much more if they succeed in getting rid of me.)

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.”)

— White House looks for ways to undermine Comey’s credibility – AP  (DIERSEN: Who undermines your credibility?  I should write a book about those in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who focus on undermining my credibility.  They are moral relativists who believe that their end (using me, misleading me, manipulating me, demonizing me, punishing me, and/or destroying me) justifies their means (twisting, exaggerating, distorting, and/or fabricating what I say or do). They are disciples of Saul Alinsky.)

— North Korea accuses Trump of being ‘selfish’  (DIERSEN: I should write a book about those who demonize me, who denigrate me, and who condemn me as being selfish.  They hint/imply/argue/shout a) that I am undeservedly filth rich, and that therefore, I should give lots of money to their church, to their charity, and/or to them and b) that I am undeservedly filth rich because I was born a healthy White male, because I avoided the draft, because I was grossly overpaid by the federal government, because my wife and I gave up trying to have children, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents, because my Civil Service Retirement System pension and my Social Security are far too generous, because etc.)

He was not a union member. He never complained that union members were overpaid, but he frequently complained that non-union members were underpaid.)

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.”)

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.)

DAILY HERALD
— DuPage County may seek referendum to dissolve election commission – Robert Sanchez
http://www.dailyherald.com/news/20170605/dupage-county-may-seek-referendum-to-dissolve-election-commission
(FROM THE ARTICLE: County officials have been told the election commission could be dissolved with a binding referendum. But the county can’t form a bipartisan election commission board without a state law change. One of the obstacles facing the proposed state law is that Democratic leaders in DuPage have criticized it. For example, they didn’t like the proposed process to appoint election commissioners. They’ve also voiced concern about the suggested salaries of the commissioners. Cronin, meanwhile, said he wants a consolidation of the election commission and the clerk’s office because it’s expected to save taxpayers at least $300,000 a year. The savings would be achieved by combining staff and finding efficiencies. “My priority is — and always has been — savings for the taxpayers,” Cronin said. “If we can do the same quality service more efficiently and save taxpayers money, that’s the direction we should take.” Before taking any steps to dissolve the election commission, Cronin said he first would have a “robust discussion” with county board members.)
— What are the advantages of hiring a multigenerational workforce?

More is expected of non-veteran White males a) because they were born with silver spoons in their mouths, b) because they have always been privileged, and c) because they benefited from their parents’, their grandparents’, their great grandparents’, and the rest of their ancestors’ racism and sexism. Non-veteran Whites males are expected to pay the price of Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion.)

INSTITUTE OF INTERNAL AUDITORS
— Under Siege Public sector auditors can face intimidation, isolation, retaliation, suspension — even termination — just for doing their job. – Russell A. Jackson  (DIERSEN: I have always been a Republican. I worked for GAO for almost 18 years 1980-1997.  Overwhelmingly, all during that time, my superiors, my supervisors, my coworkers, and my subordinates were Democrats.)
https://iaonline.theiia.org/2017/Pages/Under-Siege.aspx
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The sad reality is that public sector auditors can face retaliation – isolation, smear campaigns, diminution of duties, even suspension and termination – just for doing their jobs. If the fruits of the audit function’s labors conflict with an agency head’s political agenda, too often the political agenda wins and the auditor loses. The threat is so real, and the stakes so high, that many practitioners embroiled in sticky political situations have to inform their colleagues anonymously – or with the approval of a lawyer. That’s why Patton’s tale is attributed directly to him; all his comments have been approved by counsel so they don’t impact the ongoing litigation. Solutions are few, but they do exist. If other practitioners know what to watch for and how to prepare for the worst, some may avoid the untenable situations their colleagues deal with. As an internal auditor under fire at a mid-level school district says, “Exposure of these issues may help someone else.” Ultimately, of course, some public sector auditors caught up in politics will simply have to fall on their swords. At the end of the day, the public servant trying to suppress the truth likely won an election or received an appointment from someone in office, so the auditor trying to tell the truth may be pressured to get on board or get out. But in many cases, targeted relationship-building and a firm grasp of the agency’s governance structure will go a long way toward avoiding catastrophe. The political motivation to punish an auditor often involves information that’s incriminating to the person who ordered the audit in the first place – sometimes under a law or regulation. In one case, an audit investigation found evidence that a school board CEO had been less than honest about his credentials; in another, a culture audit – which, in law enforcement is often going to be politically sensitive – contained pretty damning results; and another uncovered fraud in a university’s program accepting bodies of people willed to science. Often, it’s a more mundane reason, like auditors looking into contracts or programs that executive directors don’t want exposed or, as in Patton’s case, assisting outside agencies in their investigations. Sometimes it’s as simple as an executive director who insists that the audit function in general has a “gotcha” mentality. In fact, one anonymous practitioner facing retaliation at a local school district says she has come to believe that “any audit that falls under the chief operating officer or chief financial officer’s (CFO’s) jurisdiction or any audit that makes a board look like it isn’t providing governance and oversight will be political.” The means of punishing auditors vary as well, within fairly defined limits.)

 

FED SMITH
— How Do Federal Employees Rate President Trump? – Ralph R. Smith  (DIERSEN: If I was still working for GAO, my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates would have killed me figuratively, if not literally by now.  Members of the following groups have always blamed me for all problems : 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 longer than their ancestors.)
https://www.fedsmith.com/2017/06/05/federal-employees-rate-president-trump/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: According to this survey, 67.8% of those responding are current federal employees and 28.5% are retired federal employees. There were small percentages of those who were military or retired military, contractors, union staffers or no federal affiliation. The most common rating for the President’s performance was “Unsatisfactory.” 53.07% of those responding selected this option. A total of about 62% selected unsatisfactory of “Below Expectations.” 13.58% selected “Outstanding.” 38.3% selected categories from “Outstanding” to “Meets Expectations.” . . . Among Republicans, 73.4% rate President Trump at “Meets Expectations” or higher. 85.5% of Democrats gave the president an “unsatisfactory” rating. . .About 37% of respondents indicated they agreed with the priorities of the Trump administration. That is close to the same percentage that have a favorable opinion of the President’s performance so far. 58.5% indicated they disagreed with the priorities of the administration. . .Among Democrats, 85.5% of those taking the survey disagree with the priorities of the administration. Among Republicans, 73.8% agree with the administration’s priorities. And, among Independents, 34.3% agree and 61.4% disagree. . .44.5% of those responding to the survey identified themselves as Independent voters. Republicans were 24.2% of respondents and Democrats 23.5%. The remaining selected the “other” option. . .46.6% of those responding to this survey indicated they voted for Hillary Clinton in the presidential election. 38% indicated they voted for Donald Trump—roughly as the overall percentage of people who indicated they voted for him in the presidential election and the percentage that provides “meets expectations” or higher in this survey. Among Republicans, 78.4% voted for Donald Trump in the election. 10.8% voted for Hillary Clinton and 10.7 voted for another candidate. 89% of those who identified as Democrats voted for Hillary Clinton; 5.7% voted for Donald Trump; and 5.2% voted for another candidate. . .25% of those responding indicated they were more optimistic and more favorable about their federal career. 57% were less optimistic and 17.9% are still undecided.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The White House on Monday will formally endorse a plan to spin off more than 30,000 federal workers into a private nonprofit corporation, separating the nation’s air traffic controllers and those who work on a $36 billion modernization program from the Federal Aviation Administration. 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.)

— Drain the swamp? Not if this guy can help it. – Monica Hesse  (DIERSEN: If GAO had been unionized in 1997, I might still be a GAO employee, but GAO did not unionize until 2007.  If I was still a GAO employee, for the last 19 years and 9 months, instead of getting a Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension, I would have paid 7% of my salary into the CSRS.)

(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.”)
