CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Naperville City Councilman Kevin Coyne criticizes DuPage GOP, announces run for county board – Erin Hegarty
https://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/naperville-sun/news/ct-nvs-naperville-council-coyne-dupage-county-board-st-0405-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Naperville City Councilman Kevin Coyne used a Facebook post early Wednesday to blast the DuPage County Republican Party and announce his bid to run for the DuPage County Board in District 5. Posting after Tuesday’s election votes had been counted, Naperville City Councilman Kevin Coyne wrote the DuPage County Republican organization did not do enough to get GOP candidates elected and said his county board candidacy should be seen as an effort to “stand up for conservative principals.” “I would say I think the Republican party right now is really struggling locally, and I hope to add a new voice for GOP voters,” Coyne said in a phone interview Wednesday. “I hope to be able to offer that voice on the DuPage County Board.” Coyne said he plans to run in the 2020 county election, pursuing the seat currently held by James Healy, a Naperville resident who has been on the county board since 1996. Seats held by District 5 board members Sadia Covert and Dawn DeSart are not up for election until 2022. In his post on his Naperville City Councilman Facebook page, Coyne said the DuPage GOP had “another embarrassing showing” in the most recent election cycle. “While the DuPage Democrats’ local leadership organize candidate forums, canvassing drives and social media initiatives throughout DuPage County, our DuPage GOP does what it usually does … nothing,” Coyne wrote. “Our once great DuPage GOP organization has become a shell of its former self. “The DuPage GOP has successfully handed both our County and the City of Naperville over to the Illinois’ Democratic Party. I am unwilling to let this stand!” Coyne repeated the criticism Wednesday. “The party around here was in power for a very long time and I don’t think ever adapted to the way in which politics has changed. The results for GOP folks have been very damaging.” Coyne said he made the post on his official Naperville City Council page because he thought it important to let people who follow local politics know of his plans to run for the county board. The post had drawn more than 50 comments as of Wednesday morning, many criticizing Coyne for talking about partisan politics when the council is elected as a nonpartisan body. “I will present a platform focused on reducing the size of government, reducing real estate tax levies and protecting LIFE … both as a supporter of pro-life initiatives and as a supporter of our constitutional right to bear arms,” Coyne wrote in the Facebook post. “I look forward to keeping my supporters abreast of my platform and to fighting for pro-life and small government reforms in DuPage County,” the post said. “We are better than what we have shown in recent elections. Republican voters in DuPage County need someone that will stand up for conservative principals! I ask conservative voters in DuPage County’s District 5 to give me the chance to be their voice. Much more to come….”)

https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190403/naperville-councilman-bashes-dupage-gop-announces-county-board-candidacy
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Naperville City Council member, unhappy with what he called a lack of aggression from the DuPage County Republican Organization in recent elections, took to Facebook early Wednesday to slam the party and announce his candidacy for DuPage County Board. Kevin Coyne, a business attorney who has served on the council since 2015, posted on his city council Facebook page that he’s tired of seeing local Democrats lead candidate forums and social media initiatives while Republicans stand on the sidelines. “Our once great DuPage GOP organization has become a shell of its former self,” Coyne wrote around 2 a.m. “It does nothing to support local or State R candidates.” Coyne said he will offer a new voice and perspective to Republican voters next November when he runs for the DuPage County Board District 5 seat currently held by attorney James Healy of Naperville. Healy did not return a call seeking comment Wednesday. Several of Coyne’s followers were quick to criticize him for discussing partisan politics while he sits on the historically nonpartisan city council. Others praised him for taking a stand. Reached Wednesday, Coyne doubled down on his social media comments. “I think the Republican Party around here was in place and successful for so long that I just don’t think they ever had to adapt to the new times with social media,” Coyne said. “I just think the general manner in which they have been running things is outdated. They’re not aggressive enough. There’s no outreach and there’s very few social media posts. We need new energy and life in the party.” DuPage Republican Chairman Brian Krajewski did not return calls Wednesday.)
— DuPage voters favored familiar faces for mayor – Robert Sanchez
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190403/dupage-voters-favored-familiar-faces-for-mayor
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Meanwhile in Wheaton, Phil Suess defeated another city councilman to become the city’s first new mayor in 12 years. He will succeed Michael Gresk, who did not seek re-election. Suess 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.” On Wednesday, Suess said he believes his record helped him win the election. “I have been on the council for 14 years,” he said. “I have been very consistent in my positions over that period of time. I think our ability to win this election was a reaffirmation of the things we’ve been doing.”)

The following urged voters in my precinct to vote for the Democrat Prendiville: Daily Herald, former Wheaton Mayors Gwen Henry and Jim Carr, current and former Wheaton City Council members Todd Scalzo, John Rutledge, Liz Corry, Howard Levine, Alan Bolds, and Thor Saline, District 200 Board President Brad Paulsen, Board members Jim Vroman, Ginna Ericksen, Jim Gambaiani, Jim Mathieson, and Chris Crabtree, and Park District Board members Ray Morrill, Jane Hodgkinson, and Terry Mee.)

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.”)

— Tuesday’s election: Key races in DuPage County – Katlyn Smith 
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://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.)

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.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illegally crossing the border is a criminal offense, but asylum is a matter for civil courts. And that is where change is most needed, says David Iglesias, a Wheaton College professor who prosecuted many criminal cases between 2001 and 2007 as U.S. attorney for the District of New Mexico. “The laws haven’t caught up,” says Iglesias, director of the Wheaton Center for Faith, Politics and Economics. Some people seeking asylum might not meet the legal requirements when it comes to race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group, but they still have a well-founded fear of persecution due to gangs or violence in their homeland, Iglesias said. Asylum is granted unevenly. Statistics from 2015 show that New York City immigration judges denied 16 percent of asylum requests, while judges in Atlanta denied 98 percent.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Burnout is caused by chronic stress, not stressors, the Nagoskis say in their book. It’s important to differentiate the two. Stressors are external: to-do lists, financial problems or anxiety about the future. Stress, on the other hand, “is the neurological and physiological shift that happens in your body when you encounter [stressors],” the Nagoskis write. To fix burnout, people need to address the stress itself. They must allow their body to complete its stress response cycle. Instead, people tend to focus on stressors. “They assume their stress will go away if they’re on top of things, if they’re accomplishing things and constantly checking things off their to-do list,” Emily Nagoski says.)

https://www.dispatch.com/news/20190329/targeted-ads-have-facebook-in-trouble-with-hud

— Why pay transparency alone won’t eliminate the persistent wage gap between men and women – Nancy Modesitt (DIERSEN: If I had been a woman, the federal government would have promoted me into its Senior Executive Service long before I was 40 years old.

https://phys.org/news/2019-03-transparency-wont-persistent-wage-gap.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The federal workforce, where the pay gap is significantly lower than in the private sector, can also be seen as support for the argument that pay transparency helps reduce it. The federal wage gap ranges from about 4 percent to 9 percent, when controlling for relevant factors that affect pay, compared with 8 percent to 18 percent among all employers.)

While I worked for GAO, I a) completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, b) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, c) became a licensed CPA in 1981, d) became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, e) became a Certified Government Financial manager in 1994, f) became a Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, g) became a Forensic Accountant in 1997, and h) completed the requirements for a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997.)
