CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH A BIG COLOR PICTURE AND A BIG BLACK AND WHITE PICTURE: Inside Bill Daley’s insurance exam scandal: Beers, an altered test and a passing grade – Todd Lighty (DIERSEN: If I sought a government office or a political office, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes would stress that while I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 when I was 30 years old and the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, my scores were not that high.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/watchdog/ct-met-bill-daley-insurance-test-20190207-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Bill Daley has passed the bar to practice law and cleared security checks to work in the White House. But when he tried to pass the state exam to sell insurance in Illinois as a young man, he faced failure, scandal and embarrassment. First, the youngest son of Mayor Richard J. Daley flunked. And when he passed on his second try, in 1973, the validity of the insurance test later was questioned amid allegations he received inside help. The evidence? An expert handwriting analysis and different inks pointed to two people filling in test answers. And then there was the colorful and damning account of the state employee who had administered the insurance tests and taken them home over the weekend. The worker described being paid a Sunday visit by Robert Wills, a recently fired colleague who took a particular interest in Bill Daley’s test. As the two drank beer, Wills noticed that Daley had not answered several questions. Wills, the worker testified, had a request: “I’d like to do a favor for a friend of mine and fill them in.” That friend, according to court records, was a close ally of the mayor. Bill Daley, who was not charged with wrongdoing, denied any involvement and kept his insurance license.)

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— Union coalition pitches city income tax A CTU-backed group wants those with annual household income above $100,000 to pay 3.5 percent a year to City Hall—plus a “LaSalle Street tax” and more. But CTA rides and community college would be free. – GREG HINZ
https://www.chicagobusiness.com/greg-hinz-politics/union-coalition-pitches-city-income-tax
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A coalition of progressive activists and big unions is upping the ante on the call for new revenue to finance help for lower-income Chicagoans, this time proposing not just a “LaSalle Street tax” on financial transactions and restoration of the employer “head tax” but a new city income tax on those who work or live in Chicago. With a swipe at “wealthy yuppies” and corporations who “don’t pay their fair share,” the group—which includes the Chicago Teachers Union and SEIU Healthcare Illinois—specifically wants a 3.5 percent tax on household income above $100,000 a year.)

https://www.sj-r.com/news/20190206/north-headlines-lincoln-day-dinner
(FROM THE ARTICLE: NRA president says group has to double its strength to preserve Second Amendment. Retired Marine Lt. Col. Oliver North said Wednesday that the National Rifle Association has to “double our strength to preserve the Second Amendment” between now and the 2020 elections, in keynote remarks at the 115th annual Sangamon County Republican Party’s Lincoln Day Dinner at the Bank of Springfield Center. The 75-year-old North, who became president of the NRA last May, also said the “disarm America movement is the best-funded, most sophisticated assault on our American liberties in our history.” North claimed that an unnamed “unholy troika of tyrannical billionaires” was setting the Democrats’ “far-left socialist agenda.” “They’re using their vast fortunes to elect enough progressives to turn America into a disarmed socialist dystopia,” North said. “The hard left in America are socialists. They’re anti-freedom candidates for office. If they succeed in what they’re doing, our lives are going to be adversely affected forever.” The annual Lincoln Day event, the longest-running in the country, is a key fundraiser for the party organization. About 1,000 people attended. Illinois Republic Party chairman Tim Schneider didn’t shy away from the GOP’s showing last fall in Illinois. “We had a tough election in 2018, but Illinois Republicans aren’t ready to give up yet,” said Schneider, in remarks preceding North’s. “After J.B. Pritzker spent $171 million on his election, he still only got 54 percent of the vote. They don’t buy him, don’t buy his tax increases or his policies. Republicans will hold Pritzker and Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan “responsible for their actions in driving families, jobs and business out of (Illinois),” he said.)

— Tens of thousands of federal employees make more than governor in state where they work – Stephen Dinan (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always accused me of being overpaid. In my defense, I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32.)
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/feb/6/federal-employees-salaries-tens-thousands-make-mor/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Federal employees are back on the job after the government shutdown — and many are doing pretty well for themselves, according to a new report that shows nearly 92,000 of them make salaries that match or exceed the governors of the states where they work. Some are in traditional high-pay occupations such as doctors. But the total also includes 18 painters, 22 welders and 25 pipefitters. More than 1,000 clerical workers in Alabama make at least $120,000, or about the same salary as Gov. Kay Ivey. In Ohio, 333 Ohio “transportation” workers, most of them air traffic controllers, make in the ballpark of Gov. Mike DeWine’s nearly $149,000 salary. And in Maryland, 3,561 federal workers made as much or more than Gov. Larry Hogan’s $170,000 salary. Most of them were doctors, dentists or public health workers, which is perhaps not surprising given that the National Institutes of Health is in Bethesda. But that doesn’t account for the 359 clerical employees, 66 accountants, 57 information-technology workers and 100 vocational trainers or school instructors who also cleared $170,000 or more a year, according to the Congressional Research Service, which compiled the data for lawmakers. The more than 91,000 workers nationwide who make as much or more than their governors is up 18 percent from the last time the CRS did a similar report, a decade ago.)

Consequently, a) my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my mentor in 1987, 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 a $19,203 (26%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980; b) my Democrat IRS superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, got rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974; and c) my Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)

— Governor Northham’s honesty – James Stansbury (DIERSEN: Those Republican Party leaders who reject planks in the Republican Party platform should be honest about it.

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2019/02/governor_northhams_honesty_.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It was refreshing in this post-truth age for Governor Northam to reveal his genuine support for post-birth abortion. Compared to the outrage about the sophomoric racist photo in Northam’s old yearbook, the reaction to his permissive abortion stance was disappointingly subdued, although many on the left defended it. This same sentiment was reinforced at the State of the Union when the Dems sat down as the newest abortion laws were criticized. These opposite reactions have inadvertently confirmed that much of America has thoroughly embraced the postmodern philosophy of moral relativism where truth is whatever supports the left’s latest utopian vision.)

— America’s Original Identity Politics – Sarah Churchwell (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, according to the Democrats, the longer that your ancestors have been in America, a) the more that you have benefited from their discrimination against minorities and from their discrimination against females and b) the more that you should pay the price of Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion. According to the Democrats, the aforesaid is especially true if your ancestors were Protestant, were conservative, were patriotic, were Republican, were White, were male, were older, were rich, were gun owners, and/or came from Germany.)

— Legislation, commission suggested to address ‘retirement crisis’ – Lois A. Bowers (DIERSEN: How much have you saved for your retirement? In 1997, when I was 49 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors knew how much my wife and I had saved for our retirement. That motivated them to force me to take their early retirement “offer.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Leaders and witnesses at a Senate Special Committee on Aging hearing Wednesday had suggestions for addressing what the committee called “a retirement crisis” — the fact that most Americans may not have enough savings to cover their expenses when they stop working. “We are on the verge of a national crisis” said Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), chairman of the committee. The situation, she added, was brought on in part by employers changing from providing “defined benefit” plans such as pensions to offering “defined contribution” plans such as 401(k)s, putting the onus on workers to save. Other factors, Collins said, include more Americans working for small companies that don’t offer retirement savings plans and many older adults relying on Social Security to cover their monthly expenses in retirement.)
