— Co-living buildings offer ‘attainable luxury’ for Chicago’s young professionals. Back in the good old days, that is, back when I was 25 in 1974, when IRS promoted me to a $99,069/year in today’s dollars job in the Loop, I bought a studio condo in the Outer Drive East Building and I walked to work and to graduate business courses at Loyola. In 1976, when my salary was $105,675/year in today’s dollars, I traded that studio condo in to the building’s developer for a one bedroom condo and I walked to graduate accounting courses at DePaul. I had bought a new town home in University Park in 1972. I lived in it full-time 1972-1974, part-time 1974-1976, and then I rented it out until I sold it in 1984.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: As the situation appears, Dialogue portfolios are nothing more than a system modeled after the Chinese Communist Party’s Social Credit System that essentially blacklists Chinese citizens from society if they hold the wrong opinions. Under China’s system, citizens can gain a bad social credit score by daily activities deemed negative by the government. This can include posting opinions on social media or making too many frivolous purchases. A negative social credit score can lead to bans from traveling, throttled internet speeds, or rejections from universities – which sounds eerily similar to the intent of Dialogue portfolios. The last thing college applicants in America need is a dystopian measure to filter out perceived wrongthink. The Supreme Court’s decision to ban affirmative action for universities was to help ensure everyone has an equal opportunity. These “Dialogues” appear to be a purity test that is even worse than affirmative action. While affirmative action is awful, at least there was a chance for universities to admit students of differing viewpoints. Dialogue portfolios give universities the explicit power to reject students solely because of the opinions they hold.)
DAILY WIRE
— For The First Time In 40 Years, The Federal Government Can Judge Applicants By Merit. The move opens the door to an elite federal workforce — and a major victory for President Donald Trump. For Democrats, the federal government exists to hire, retain, and promote Democrats. The Democrats who ran GAO in 1980, IRS in 1971, and the Post Office in 1966 hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. I qualified myself for the postal job by passing the postal employment examination and earning a high school diploma. I qualified myself for the IRS job by passing the Federal Service Entrance Examination and earning a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU. I qualified myself for the GAO job by working for IRS for almost 9 years, earning an MBA from Loyola, passing the CPA examination on my first attempt, and almost completing the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul.
https://www.dailywire.com/news/for-the-first-time-in-40-years-the-federal-government-can-judge-applicants-by-merit
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A decades-old court order that blocked the federal government from using tests to measure job applicants’ skills was terminated by a D.C. judge on Friday, setting the stage for an overhaul of the federal workforce that could be one of President Donald Trump’s most lasting achievements. In 1981, Angel Luevano sued the federal government over the Professional and Administrative Career Examination, a test that helped identify the best and brightest out of the tens of thousands who apply for government jobs each year. Luevano argued that the test kept too many blacks and Hispanics out of government, and, in the waning days of President Jimmy Carter’s administration, OPM agreed to pause the test for five years. Forty-four years later, the “Luevano Consent Decree” was somehow still intact. In January, the Trump administration filed a brief challenging the agreement — a feat which required reopening a decades-closed court case in which the original judge had died. The administration argued that it was doubtful the decree was ever appropriate, and that, with Supreme Court case law outlawing affirmative action, it was certainly not now. Angel Luevano is still alive, and agreed to terminate the consent decree, court papers show. Luevano was represented by lawyers from Hispanic and black civil rights groups, two of whom did not return a request for comment. For almost half a century, the federal government has operated like a college that didn’t look at SAT scores when admitting students. Rescinding the Luevano Consent Decree could take the government from safety-school status to Ivy League. “We’re making civil service great again,” Office of Personnel Management Director Scott Kupor told The Daily Wire Friday. The move opens the door to technocratic hiring assessments that allow the government to hire applicants who objectively demonstrate the most aptitude. Kupor told The Daily Wire in an interview that the move means Americans may start getting better service at government agencies, with government being more helpful and responsive. “The lasting opportunity here is: can we change the culture of the workforce in the federal government? Can we make it a high-performance culture? That will definitely be the president’s legacy, if we can make that successful,” he said. After the demise of the Professional and Administrative Career Examination and similar tests, the government began relying on “self-assessments” to sift through job applicants, as it was the only measure that saw a sufficient number of minorities enter government. Applicants simply declared how good they were at a task, with no attempt to verify it or compare them to other applicants. That led to a hiring process that rewarded boasting and fabrications as much as merit. Kupor said the de facto prohibition on government checking people’s competency before hiring them — at which point they become difficult to remove — had become particularly crippling in the modern age, with people using artificial intelligence or simply copy-and-paste to take a job advertisement’s requirements and send an application asserting that they had all those skills. The inability to use objective measures to sort the most qualified applicants from a large pool — as virtually all other large employers do — has profoundly impacted the caliber of government employees. The Luevano Consent Decree was perhaps one of the largest applications ever of the philosophy known as “disparate impact,” which holds that anything that produces racially unbalanced outcomes must inherently be racist. But the fallout went beyond just minorities, leaving little way to differentiate a brilliant white job applicant from an incompetent white applicant. OPM General Counsel Andrew Kloster told The Daily Wire in an interview that the government did not make any concessions to reach the agreement. “It was a very easy process,” he said. “They just flat out agreed. It would not have happened without the original named plaintiff agreeing to it and the judge agreeing to accept it.” “This is really kind of an understanding that disparate impact as a way to measure things is not the law of the land anymore. You have to actually show real discrimination. The explicit argument was that the objective tests themselves were racially biased, and obviously that’s bogus.” It is yet to be decided whether OPM will institute a general aptitude test across agencies. But many specific job categories are likely to have their own tests. If the government is hiring, say, computer programmers, it won’t simply ask them how good they are at a programming language. Instead, it will administer a coding test to rank applicants on a uniform scale. The hiring process used by government agencies for decades resulted in hiring that was, at best, random, and at worst, allowed the sort of cronyism and favoritism that the consent decree was supposed to avoid, Kupor said. “We’re going to be able to attract really, really good people, because they’re going to be fairly tested for their merit,” he said. “It also really does eliminate a lot of potential for a bias in the hiring process if you actually use objective standards.” “This is a win for fairness, as well as a win for getting American people the ability to get people with the appropriate skills into the right jobs.”)

KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE
— Kane County Auditor Penny Wegman announces bid for treasurer. Incumbent GOP Treasurer Lauzen hasn’t said if he’ll run again.
https://www.shawlocal.com/kane-county-chronicle/2025/07/31/kane-county-auditor-penny-wegman-announces-bid-for-treasurer/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Kane County Auditor Penny Wegman on Wednesday officially announced her candidacy for county treasurer. Wegman, a Democrat, was elected to her second term as auditor last year. She will seek her party’s nomination in the March 17 primary election. If she wins the primary, she will be on the Nov. 5, 2026 general election ballot. In a news release Wednesday, Wegman pledged “to bring her proven record of fiscal responsibility, transparency and innovation to the treasurer’s office.” “As your county auditor, I’ve worked every day to make government more transparent, efficient, and accountable to taxpayers,” Wegman stated in the release. “Now, I’m ready to bring that same commitment to the treasurer’s office – to continue protecting taxpayer dollars and strengthening public trust in our financial institutions.” The current treasurer is Chris Lauzen, a Republican and former state senator and former county board chairman. He has not announced whether he would seek another term. Since taking office as auditor, Wegman said she led on several key initiatives that improved the county’s financial operations and public accountability. These include: Increasing transparency through a more accessible, online county checkbook, giving taxpayers real-time insight into county spending; Creating a successful internship program, providing hands-on government experience to local students and cultivating the next generation of public servants; Identifying and helping close policy gaps, collaborating with the county board to strengthen financial procedures and internal controls; Increasing county revenue by competitively bidding the purchase card vendor, securing better returns for Kane County taxpayers. “These are not just ideas – they are results, ” Wegman said in the release. “As treasurer, I will carry forward this momentum to modernize operations, safeguard county funds, and ensure Kane County residents get the transparency and service they deserve,” Wegman stated in the release. With her background in auditing, financial oversight and public service, Wegman stated in the release that she is “uniquely prepared to transition seamlessly into the treasurer’s role and immediately build upon the office’s core responsibilities: receiving, investing, and safeguarding the county’s funds.” Last year, Wegman received the Innovator Award from the International Association of Government Officials at its annual conference in New Orleans. The award was in recognition of Wegman’s work with the county’s procurement card program, which are known as p-cards and are county credit cards issued to department heads. Her campaign for treasurer will formally launch with a fundraiser on Aug. 28, at The Office, 201 E Main St., St. Charles. The public is invited to attend and learn more about Wegman’s vision for the treasurer’s office. In May, Candida “Connie” Cain announced she left the Kane County GOP to run for treasurer as a Democrat.)

— APRIL 27, 2007 FLASHBACK: GAO settles pay dispute with 12 of 308 (Band II) senior analysts. Counsel finds data and calculations used to conduct the employees’ performance evaluations were flawed. My Democrat GAO superiors used their flawed performance evaluations to a) delay my promotions, b) never promote me beyond GS-13 (Band II), c) keep me off audits of IRS, d) always rank in bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, and e) force me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997.
https://www.govexec.com/management/2007/04/gao-settles-pay-dispute-with-12-of-308-senior-analysts/24307/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Government Accountability Office has reached settlements with 12 of 308 employees denied pay increases last year. The 12 employees were offered promotions, back pay and associated benefits as if they had been promoted as of Jan. 8, 2006, several sources confirmed Thursday. The case goes back to June 2005, when GAO issued a plan for splitting one of its pay bands — Band II — into Band IIA and Band IIB. Employees placed in Band IIA were not granted pay increases, while employees placed in Band IIB got raises. Employees were required to earn a “meets expectations” on their performance appraisal to be eligible for Band IIB placement. GAO issued its final placement decisions in December 2005, and gave employees with Band IIA placement 30 days to appeal to the agency’s Office of Opportunities and Inclusiveness or its Personnel Appeals Board, one source said. “Each one of the 12 marched over to the appeals board as an act of personal courage and chose to run the risk of retaliation,” the source said. Several sources said there was little or no justification for the employees’ placement in the lower pay band. The appeals board’s general counsel, which represented the 12 employees, found that the data and calculations used to conduct the employees’ performance evaluations were unreliable and included significant flaws and inconsistencies. Several GAO employees and other sources, who spoke under condition of anonymity, questioned why the watchdog agency – which has insisted the pay determinations were justified – decided to settle with the 12 employees. The 12 employees are prohibited to speak to anyone about the details of the settlement unless asked as part of a congressional inquiry, one source said, adding that Rep. Danny Davis, D-Ill., has already asked the employees about the settlements.)

— Trump pick Emil Bove confirmed as federal judge after furious Democrat walkout, whistleblower complaint. GAO would not have promoted me to GS-13 when I was 38 years old in 1986 if the GAO manager (Dave) who led the effort to get rid of me had not gone on extended sick leave. That finally allowed the GAO manager (Bill) who had arranged for my transfer from IRS in 1980 to assign me to audits of IRS in 1986 and to promote me in 1986. But Dave a) came back in 1987, b) forced Bill to resign in 1987, c) threw me off audits of IRS in late 1988, d) gave me a bad job assignment in 1989, e) gave me unfair performance expectations in 1989, f) gave me an unfair performance appraisal in 1989, g) ranked me at the bottom of my coworkers for pay-for-performance (PFP) in 1989, h) assured that I would always be ranked in the bottom half of my coworkers for PFP for the rest of my GAO career, i) assured that I would never again be assigned to audits of IRS, and j) forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. I should write about the aforesaid.

U.S. OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT
— Merit Hiring Plan. For Democrats, the federal government exists to hire, retain, and promote Democrats. The Democrats who ran GAO in 1980, IRS in 1971, and the Post Office in 1966 hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. They wasted my career and they got rid of me because I refused to become a Democrat.
https://www.dcpas.osd.mil/sites/default/files/2025-05/Merit%20Hiring%20Plan%205-29-2025.pdf
(FROM THE MEMORANDUM: The American people deserve a Federal workforce dedicated to American values and efficient service. Yet, Federal hiring criteria long ago abandoned any serious need for technical skills and adherence to the Constitution. Instead, the overly complex Federal hiring system overemphasized discriminatory “equity” quotas and too often resulted in the hiring of unfit, unskilled bureaucrats. The American people, who deserve a government that works for them, have suffered. In his January 20, 2025 Executive Order 14170, Reforming the Federal Hiring Process and Restoring Merit to Government Service (“Restoring Merit”) President Trump directed that “recruitment and hiring processes” become “more efficient and focused on serving the Nation” and that hiring be based on “merit, practical skill, and dedication to our Constitution.” These changes will “ensure that the Federal workforce is prepared to help achieve American greatness, and attract the talent necessary to serve our citizens effectively.” President Trump directed the Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy to “develop and send to agency heads a Federal Hiring Plan that brings to the Federal workforce only highly capable Americans dedicated to the furtherance of American ideals, values, and interests.” President Trump stated that this Merit Hiring Plan must achieve seven goals: 1. Prioritize recruitment of individuals committed to improving the efficiency of the Federal government, passionate about the ideals of our American republic, and committed to upholding the rule of law and the United States Constitution; 2. Prevent the hiring of individuals based on their race, sex, or religion, and prevent the hiring of individuals who are unwilling to defend the Constitution or to faithfully serve the Executive Branch; . . . Finally, the Merit Hiring Plan must provide specific best practices for the human resources (HR) function in each agency, which each agency head shall implement. These HR best practices are included as Appendix 1.2 The key elements of the following Merit Hiring Plan are: 1. Reforming the Federal recruitment process to ensure that only the most talented, capable and patriotic Americans are hired to the Federal service; 2. Implementing skills-based hiring, eliminating unnecessary degree requirements, and requiring the use of rigorous, job-related assessments to ensure candidates are selected based on their merit and competence, not their skin color or academic pedigree;)

— Don Tracy considers governor bid
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2025/07/29/don-tracy-considers-governor-bid-00480953
(FROM THE ARTICLE: 2026 INTRIGUE: A familiar Republican name is eyeing the 2026 governor’s race. Don Tracy, the former chair of the Illinois Republican Party, confirmed to Lee Enterprises’ Brenden Moore that he is actively considering a bid for the state’s top job. “I’m taking a hard look at it,” Tracy told Moore, noting he’s been “making some calls” and that “several people” have urged him to throw his hat into the ring. The potential candidacy comes at a time when the Illinois GOP is in a prolonged wilderness stretch, failing to win a statewide race in nearly a decade. Tracy may be the Republican to change that. He’s a Springfield attorney and businessman with ties to the party’s donor class. And though he stepped down as chair last year, Tracy’s name still carries weight in Republican circles. It wouldn’t be easy. Incumbent Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker, a billionaire with virtually unlimited resources and a finely tuned political operation, announced in June that he will seek a third term. The governor has already signaled an aggressive campaign that focuses on attacking extremism. . .State Sen. Sue Rezin, who serves as deputy Republican leader, is returning to the trail. “After a lot of thought and discussions, I have decided to run for reelection to protect taxpayers’ pocketbooks, strengthen public safety and keep and grow good-paying jobs right here at home in the 38th Senate District,” she said in a statement. Rezin has been serving in the General Assembly since 2010.)

SIMPLY PSYCHOLOGY
— A meritocratic society allows those from lower socioeconomic status to aspire to a higher social class, status, and place in the hierarchy. Meritocracy enabled me to earn a bachelor’s degree, three master’s degrees, six professional certifications, and a professional license even though a) neither of my parents attended college, b) my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, c) he never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars, d)my mother never attended high school, and e) I had to work my way through college. My critics/opponents vehemently disagree. According to them, I was able to accomplish the aforesaid because I benefitted tremendously from discrimination against those who share their demographics: liberal, Democrat, RINO, minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time.

— Career limiting. In retrospect, with benefit of hindsight, what did you do or did not do that limited your career? I spent far too many hours washing dishes and delivering mail instead of studying. I avoided the Vietnam War draft. I delayed majoring in accounting. I did not become a Democrat. I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged my Democrat superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.

— Federal housing credit expansion could increase affordable rental units in Illinois. What helped you avoid having to pay rent? For me, it was my earning a bachelor’s degree when I was 21, earning an MBA when I was 27, passing the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30, earning a master’s degree in accounting when I was 31, and passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and becoming a licensed CPA when I was 32. That enabled me to buy a new town home when I was 24, buy condos when I was 25 and 27, get married and buy a home when I was 29, and have a home built when I was 35.

— One Way to Predict Early Career Success. A complex project at a new job can play a pivotal role in how soon you are promoted. My Democrat IRS superiors, supervisors, and coworkers were beyond furious when I got a high-profile developmental assignment when I was 25 years old in 1973. According to them, the assignment should have been given to one of my Democrat coworkers who was minority, female, and/or veteran. My taking graduate evening business courses helped me get the assignment. They were even more furious went I got promoted to GS-12 , currently $99,069/year, because of my performance on the assignment. To punish me, they a) disallowed my travel vouchers and education deductions, b) never promoted me to GS-13, and c) ignored/dismissed/belittled my earning an MBA in 1976 and my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. To punish the manager who had gotten me the assignment and who had promoted me, they forced him to transfer to Texas.

— Age discrimination and reverse discrimination in the accounting profession. I did not start taking graduate evening accounting courses until I was 27. I did not take and pass the CPA examination on my first attempt until I was 30. I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting until I was 31. I did not take and pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination and become a licensed CPA until I was 32. Because of that, even though I had almost 9 years’ experience working for IRS and more than a year working for GAO when I was 32, the CPA profession, including IRS and GAO, considered me to be far too old to have a successful career in accounting. The accounting profession would not have done that if I had been a minority or a female.

— Vance’s and Marco Rubio’s Senate successors avoid GOP primary drama. Primaries are nasty/vicious. My critics/opponents wanted Jim Ryan to win the 2002 Illinois Republican gubernatorial primary. Because I supported Pat O’Malley who lost in that primary and because Blagojevich won the general election, my critics/opponents continue to do everything that they can to destroy me. My critics/opponents wanted Andy McKenna to win the 2004 Illinois Republican U.S. Senate primary. They falsely claim that I supported Jack Ryan in that primary to falsely justify their continuing to do everything that they can to destroy me because Ryan withdrew after winning the primary and Obama won the general election.

CHICAGO DEFENDER
— I did not even try to get a student loan. My ACT score was only 24. I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my class. I washed dishes during my junior and senior years and the summer in between. I could not run because I had a bone disease. My eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20. I had partial red/green color blindness. Neither of my parents had attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. But because I worked my way through college, I was able to buy a new townhome in University Park when I was 24 in 1972.
https://chicagocrusader.com/unsettling-accounts-illinois-confronting-growing-student-loan/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: With $49,000 in student loan debt, Josue Villalpando figured becoming a homeowner was a long way off. “The thought of purchasing a home was definitely floating around, however I never actually looked into it knowing that I had such a big burden with my student loans,” he said. A recent graduate of the University of Illinois Chicago, Villalpando, 29, took out private loans to pay for college. Unlike federal student loans, private loans typically have higher interest rates and fewer forgiveness programs, making them harder for borrowers to pay off. Then, his fiancé came across the SmartBuy program – an initiative set up by the state to help incentivize residents to purchase a home while paying off their student loan debt, one of the leading factors delaying homeownership among young adults. SmartBuy pays up to $40,000 in student loans and contributes up to $5,000 towards a down payment or closing costs at the time of purchase.)

— The Importance of Early Career Planning. I would not have become a postal employee when I was 18 years old in 1966 if my high school friend had not invited me to take the postal employment examination with him earlier that year. I would not have become an IRS employee in 1971 if Oldsmobile had not withdrawn a job offer that I had accepted saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. If I had been active in Republican politics when I was young, the Democrats who ran the Post Office in 1966, IRS in 1971, and GAO in 1980 would not have hired me.

CHALKBEAT
— Illinois graduates who earn college degrees make more money, but racial disparities persist. To address “racial disparities,” my Democrat superiors in the federal government wasted my career and forced me retire when I was 49 years old. They gave my Black subordinate my job and my preferred corner office. He had less work experience than I had. He had less education than I had. He had one professional certification while I had six. He had no professional license like the one I had. The aforesaid is political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.
https://www.chalkbeat.org/chicago/2025/07/16/illinois-high-school-graduates-with-college-degrees-earn-more/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The report found that students from low-income households were less likely to obtain bachelor’s degrees, master’s degrees, doctoral degrees, or professional licenses than their peers from higher-income households. The report also found that the state’s high school students whose parents were among the highest earners went on to earn about 48% more than those whose parents were in the lowest-earning group. Among those who came from the same socioeconomic background, Black and Latino students earned less than Asian American and white students, the report found. Students in the study’s sample from low-income families were underrepresented in high-paying careers such as computer information sciences and engineering. Most students took jobs in accommodations and food services. Regardless of whether students had the same levels of education, degrees from the same type of program, or worked in the same industry, students from high-income households earned more than their peers who came from low-income households. On average, the gap in earnings between students from high-income households and low-income households was $5,815 even if they had the same degree.)

FED SMITH
— Secrets Behind the Growing Number of Thrift Savings Plan Millionaires. TSP millionaires grew 500% in 5+ years.
https://www.fedsmith.com/2025/07/11/secrets-behind-the-growing-number-of-tsp-millionaires/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) provides a path to a secure retirement for federal employees. While the defined annuity under FERS is a very valuable benefit often not available to most Americans, the Thrift Savings Plan may provide the difference between a minimal retirement or one that provides many more options to enjoy your later years in life. While the argument is often made that salaries in the private sector are higher, the federal workforce has at its fingertips a way to accumulate wealth that provides a substantial retirement income—at least for those with the knowledge and discipline to take maximum advantage of this program. Here are some TSP statistics that every federal employee should keep in mind—especially those who are still relatively new to the federal workforce. In March 2020, there were 27,212 TSP millionaires, which grew to 171,023 by June 2025. This is a growth of over 500% in the number of millionaires in just over five years. The largest quarterly increase in TSP millionaires occurred between March 2020 and June 2020, with the number rising from 27,212 to 45,219 — an increase of 66%. Another significant increase was between December 2020 and March 2021, where the number of millionaires grew from 75,420 to 84,808. The number of TSP millionaires is now at its highest point, with 171,023 participant millionaires as of the end of June 2025. The average years of contributions for TSP millionaires have remained stable over the last five years, hovering around 28 years. This indicates a strong correlation between long-term contributions and achieving millionaire status in the TSP.)

— Illinois State Police graduates largest cadet class in 25 years. The first 6 months that I worked for IRS as a Revenue Officer in 1971 was classroom training in the Loop. According to Google AI: key areas of Revenue Officer training include: “Tax Law and Procedures: This is fundamental, encompassing various aspects of tax law, regulations, and IRS procedures applicable to individuals and businesses. Business Law: Revenue officers may need to understand business law principles to navigate legal and financial situations encountered during their work. Investigative Techniques: They are trained in investigative methods to uncover discrepancies, errors, or potential fraud in tax filings. Collections Procedures: A significant part of the role involves working with taxpayers to discuss payment options and resolve delinquent tax accounts, according to ZipRecruiter. Training covers various collection strategies and techniques. Negotiation and Communication: Since they interact with taxpayers to discuss sensitive financial matters, revenue officers must possess strong negotiation and communication skills, says ZipRecruiter. Training often focuses on developing these interpersonal abilities. Ongoing Development: Revenue officers are expected to engage in continuous learning to stay abreast of changes in tax laws and regulations, industry trends, and best practices. In essence, IRS revenue officer training prepares individuals to effectively apply tax law, investigate tax-related issues, negotiate with taxpayers, and collect delinquent taxes in a professional and ethical manner.” In today’s dollars, my salary was $55,850/year.
