They dismiss, belittle, badmouth, demonize, denigrate, and condemn the jobs I had and the fact that 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.)

Other than me, do you know anyone else who works/worked for GAO? As you know, I worked for GAO for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $96,403-$125,325. As you know, I charged GAO with political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation in a lawsuit. As you know, a copy of the complaint is at https://gopillinois.com/documents/. As you know, 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 an $19,203 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. As you know, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always sided with my Democrat GAO superiors against me.)

— Wheaton-Warrenville Community Unit School District 200 facing lawsuit for building school without required referendum – KIRK ALLEN
http://edgarcountywatchdogs.com/2018/08/district-200-facing-lawsuit-for-building-school-without-required-referendum/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A local resident of District 200 has taken appropriate steps to hold the School Board accountable to the law. Jan Shaw, the founder of “DuPage Watchdog“, a local government accountability organization, filed a verified complaint for Declaratory Judgement, Mandamus, and Injunctive Relief against the District 200 School Board today. You can see her Press Release at this link. Back in March of this year, we published this article pertaining to the School District 200’s intentions to build a new school in spite of the majority of voters shooting down multiple referendums in their attempts to move forward with building a new school. It appears the facts laid out in our article as well as Shaw’s multiple articles on this matter have fallen on deaf ears. The School Board is moving forward against the will of the people and in contradiction to the law, in our opinion, and that of multiple other attorneys. We are pleased to see our information is shared as part of the exhibits to support the allegations in the complaint.)

http://www.nprillinois.org/post/idot-staff-assistants-sue-get-jobs-back#stream/0
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In 2016, Rauner issued a press release saying his administration had ended a “patronage hiring scandal” at the Illinois Department of Transportation. At issue were hundreds of people who’d gotten so-called staff assistant jobs under former governors Rod Blagojevich and Pat Quinn. These were political hires into jobs that should have been protected from that sort of thing. Attorney Don Craven says the eight workers suing Rauner eventually made their way into non-political jobs, but that didn’t save them. He says their firing was political. “This allegation is that these people were fired by IDOT because they’re Democrats and they refused to become affiliated with the Rauner administration,” Craven says. “That’s precisely what the first amendment says you can’t do — you can’t fire people because of their political affiliation.” The lawsuit is seeking to get the employees reinstated — with seniority, back pay and benefits. Asked for comment, the Rauner administration did not directly address the allegations in the lawsuit. Spokeswoman Patty Schuh says the administration has been “working hand-in-hand with the [Office of the Executive Inspector General’s] hiring monitoring unit and the court-appointed special master to clean up the corrupt political system created by previous governors.”)

— Maine West Principal Haugan paid in $358K to teachers pension fund, could collect $7.1 million in retirement (DIERSEN: In 1966-1997 dollars, I paid $70,932 into the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS). So far, in today’s dollars, CSRS has paid me $1,084,822 ($4,322 X 251 months). If I was still working for GAO, CSRS would not have paid me anything, and in today’s dollars, I would have paid $183,497 ($731 X 251 months) into the CSRS. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes side with my Democrat GAO superiors who forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Defendant Rauner made comments that expressed his political animus to those individuals who supported Democrats or public-sector unions. Some of those comments were directed at some plaintiffs. […] The real reason for the termination of these Plaintiffs was that they were employed by the prior administration (under then Governor Patrick Quinn who was a member of the Democratic Party) or that they refused to become affiliated with the Rauner Administration. * Pretext… Despite the long-standing policy of IDOT to review and update job descriptions of employees, at no time after their reassignments did supervisory personnel, or personnel in the Bureau of Personnel verify the accuracy of Plaintiffs’ job descriptions or update the job descriptions to more accurately reflect the work being assigned to each Plaintiff. Defendants then used the job descriptions, which were intentionally allowed to become outdated as the pretense to terminate the employment of these Plaintiffs.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Hello. We’ve probably never met, but we think it’s safe to assume you’re the kind of person who wouldn’t walk into a convenience store and take a newspaper without paying for it. Asking for unlimited, free access to our website is the online equivalent of stealing a paper from the store. We can’t stay in business if we give our product away for free. We’ve had a paywall on our site for more than five years, but until recently, if you were coming to an article from social media, our content was free to view. Today, if a reader accesses more than 10 stories in a 30-day period, we will ask them to subscribe to continue reading our work, regardless of which source they use to find our journalism. Many people hit that limit early in the month. The change is long overdue and should have been made years ago. At the Standard-Times, we employ more than 25 people, 11 of them journalists who live in and love San Angelo. This doesn’t include the contract delivery personnel who deliver the print edition each day. These people work hard to bring important news to our audience. This award-winning staff keeps readers updated about events in town, attends countless public meetings and spends nights and weekends bringing you up-to-the-minute sports content. They request public records (and often fight for them) so you know what’s happening in your government. They report on breaking news so you know how you can keep yourself and your family safe. Salaries, newsprint, computers, pens, notebooks, smartphones and other reporting tools aren’t free. We spend thousands of dollars annually on criminal court documents alone. That’s on top of hundreds we spent on arrest documents, open records requests and other measures to hold government agencies accountable to the public.)

— Half of American households are still poorer than they were before the Great Recession – Dan Kopf
https://qz.com/1348882/us-household-wealth-for-the-bottom-50-is-half-of-what-it-was-in-2007/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When it comes to wealth, the poorest American households are much worse off than they were in 2007. In fact, they are no better, in terms of wealth, than they were in 1971. . .In contrast, the average household in the bottom 50% had about half as much wealth in 2016 as they did in 2007. Poorer households typically invest in homes and other physical assets, and put little to no money in stocks. As a result, they have not participated in the post-recession wealth recovery.)

It’s titled “Help is on the Way,” and focuses on the platforms John Cox highlighted throughout his campaign such as unaffordable home and rent costs, the state’s infrastructure, rising poverty rates and the gas tax. The businessman, who lives in San Diego, has an uphill battle to catch Democrat Gavin Newsom. The current lieutenant governor has a commanding lead in the contest to succeed Governor Jerry Brown.

In our defense, I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years — almost 3 for the Post Office 1966-1969, almost 9 for IRS 1971-1980, and almost 18 for GAO. Working for the federal government is extremely unpleasant, stressful, and depressing. Virtually everyone viciously demonizes, viciously denigrates, and viciously condemns federal employees and federal retirees as being lazy, stupid, grossly overpaid, and even worse things. Many millions have not and will not seek a job with the federal government a) because the pay and benefits are terrible, b) because the advancement opportunities are terrible, c) because they lack required education, work experience, professional certifications, and/or professional licenses, d) because they cannot pass an employment examination, e) because they cannot pass a background investigation, f) because they cannot pass a physical examination, g) because they cannot take the demonization, denigration, and condemnation that comes with being a federal employee or federal retiree, and/or h) because they are Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran and they know that the federal government discriminates against the aforesaid.)

Because I have always been a Republican, were it not for federal civil service protections, a) the Post Office would NOT have hired me in 1966 or let me work there for almost 3 years, b) IRS would NOT have hired me in 1971 or let me work there for almost 9 years, c) IRS would NOT have promoted me in 1972, 1973, or 1974, d) GAO would NOT have hired me in 1980 or let me work there for almost 18 years, and e) GAO would NOT have promoted me in 1986. Since the Democrats who run the Post Office, IRS, and GAO hired me, to help them hire, retain, and promote young Democrat minorities and young Democrat females, they have dramatically lowered their hiring, retention, and promotion standards and made those standards much more subjective.)

EQUIPMENT WORLD
— JULY 23, 2013 FLASHBACK: The corrosive damage ethanol gasoline does to your fuel pump – Tom Jackson (DIERSEN: In my opinion, ethanol did thousands of dollars in damages to my 1972 Chevy Corvette.)
https://www.equipmentworld.com/e-10-alive-the-corrosive-damage-ethanol-gasoline-does-to-your-fuel-pump/

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Its a nearly-new fuel pump from a 2003 Harley Davidson with just 11,000 miles on it. How could that much corrosion happen on a motorcycle before it’s third oil change? According to my mechanic it’s ethanol in our gasoline. To understand how this happens you need to know how ethanol affects your fuel system. Ethanol itself is not particularly corrosive. When the oil companies first started blending ethanol in gas, it corroded some rubber and plastic gaskets on some cars and equipment. Manufacturers figured it out and substituted new materials. The unlucky consumers whose equipment was ruined or whose fuel systems had to be replaced just took it on the chin as per usual with most government programs. But that wasn’t the end of it. Ethanol attracts water. When the two get together, they create the perfect environment to grow a type of bacteria called acetobacter. After getting drunk on their EPA-sponsored kegger in your gas tank, the acetobacter excrete acetic acid. And acetic acid is very corrosive. If you’re refilling your gas tank every week or two, acetobacter don’t have time to grow a sufficient size colony to damage metal parts in your fuel system. But if your fuel sits for longer periods of time these microorganisms continue to multiply until your gas tank contains damaging levels of acetic acid.)

— FBI hatred for candidate Trump practically beyond belief – Russ Sloan (DIERSEN: What do you say to those who talk and act like they hate Republicans, but nevertheless, they cast Republican primary ballots? How many crossover voters, that is, voters who cast Republican primary ballots, but vote for Democrats in general elections, that is, voters who are Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plats, or RINOs, are there in your precinct, in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, in Illinois, and in America? I believe there are about 30 in my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 9 in Wheaton and they are well-organized. Of course, they do not display yard signs for Republican candidates in general elections. Far too many of them treat me very rudely.)

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— Trump taps Edgar alum to lead Chicago’s only federal agency Pedersen & Houpt’s Erhard Chorlé would be in charge of an office that deals with pensions and health care for retired railroad workers. – GREG HINZ (DIERSEN: I worked on a GAO audit of the Railroad Retirement Board in 1989.

http://www.chicagobusiness.com/greg-hinz-politics/trump-taps-edgar-alum-lead-chicagos-only-federal-agency
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Erhard Chorlé (pronounced shore-lay), a partner at Pedersen & Houpt here, was nominated earlier this week to be chairman of the Railroad Retirement Board, whose headquarters are on the Near North Side. The job is full-time and pays $170,400, according to congressional sources. The position requires Senate confirmation, but that might not be a problem after President Donald Trump recently named another prominent Chicagoan, former Metra Chairman and Chicago Ald. Martin Oberman, 43rd, to a seat on the U.S. Surface Transportation Board, which regulates railroads.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Last month, Rep. Christian Mitchell (D-Chicago) was interviewed by Chicago Public Radio about his new role as interim executive director of the Democratic Party of Illinois. Mitchell was asked at one point about what the state party planned to do to counter Dan Proft’s newspaper empire. Proft, a conservative activist and radio talk show host, operates about 40 news websites, from the Lake County Gazette to Rock Island Today to the Carbondale Reporter. They all run stories with a decided tilt toward Proft’s favored Republican candidates, who are pro-life, anti-union and pro-gun. Proft receives millions of dollars from ultra-wealthy businessman Dick Uihlein (Proft’s Liberty Principles PAC reported receiving another $3.5 million just last week from Uihlein). Rep. Mitchell called Proft’s papers “fake news,” and clarified that he didn’t mean to use the term the way President Donald Trump employs it to describe the Washington Post, the New York Times, CNN and other established national news outlets. Mitchell said his party intends to counter Proft’s pro-GOP, anti-Democratic Party messages with its own messaging.)

My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes side with my Democrat IRS superiors against me. Notwithstanding the fact that I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980 when I was 31, passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, 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. My Democrat IRS superiors would not have taken the aforesaid actions against me if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, or a veteran.)

https://amac.us/the-irs-has-rehired-hundreds-of-fired-employees-congress-should-step-in/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For one of the most punitive agencies in the federal government, the IRS sure is forgiving with its own employees. Rep. Kristi Noem, R-S.D., has proposed a bill that would prevent the IRS from rehiring employees fired for misconduct or poor performance. The bill, titled the Ensuring Integrity in the IRS Workforce Act, follows a recent Treasury inspector general report that shows the IRS rehired more than 200 fired workers in a little over a year. A previous inspector general report proves this problem dates back to at least 2009. According to the Treasury Department’s inspector general, the IRS did not provide officials responsible for hiring decisions with information about employment history, though that information is readily available. As a result, the IRS—an agency with nearly unrivaled access to citizens’ personal information and capacity to harass individual taxpayers—rehired: A fired worker with several misdemeanor theft convictions and one count of felony possession of a forgery device. 11 employees previously disciplined for unauthorized access to taxpayer accounts. An employee who was absent without leave for 270 hours—the equivalent of 33 work days. An employee fired for physically threatening co-workers. An employee fired for lying about previous criminal convictions on employment forms. 17 employees previously caught falsifying official documents. Often, these employees do not have to wait long to get their old offices back. Two IRS employees fired for poor performance were rehired within six months. Faced with these findings, the IRS was unapologetic. In a response letter to the Inspector General’s Office, the IRS’ chief human capital officer wrote that the IRS “determined its current process is more than adequate to mitigate any risks to American taxpayers, federal agencies, and its employees.” Given that the IRS refuses to change its hiring process, swift congressional action is necessary. And Noem’s bill has a good chance to pass. In fact, a previous version of this legislation passed the House, 345-78, a little more than two years ago. These inspector general reports and the IRS’ response are especially disturbing given the IRS’ extraordinary power over citizens. No department or agency should be able to rehire employees fired for misconduct or poor performance. Future legislation should make federal employees non-hirable throughout the federal government. This may sound unduly harsh. After all, like private-sector managers, federal managers sometimes may be unfairly critical toward employees that rub them the wrong way. But, unlike in the private sector, there are multiple safeguards in place to prevent wrongful terminations. Fired federal employees have four separate agencies to help them challenge a termination. In many cases, an employee can have multiple agencies review their case one after another. Thorough to the point of absurdity, this complicated process of appeals (which I describe here) can tie up managers, arbitrators, and administrative judges for years. Given the incredibly high burden of firing one employee, many managers choose to ignore problem employees as long as possible. A recent survey found only 44 percent of federal employees agree that “steps are taken to deal with a poor performer who cannot or will not improve” in their workplace. On average, the federal government fires about 10,000 employees a year out of a workforce of 2.1 million. In other words, one in every 200 federal employees is fired in a given year. Only state and local education employees have greater job security. Given their rarity, it’s safe to assume that pink slips are well earned in the federal workforce. Recipients of this dubious distinction have gotten all the second chances they deserve. When federal employees are shown the door, they should not be let back in. Noem’s legislation is a long-overdue correction to federal personnel practices tailored to fit workers, rather than meet the mission.)

I routinely accompanied her on those trips. Often, after the meetings were over, we visited nearby national parks. Further, I went on vacations with a coworker to Hawaii, Mexico, Bahamas, and Jamaica while I worked for IRS 1973-1976. Needless-to-say, my envy-filled IRS and GAO Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were beyond furious. Overwhelmingly, their spouses had little or no income.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/classified/realestate/elitestreet/ct-re-elite-street-dwayne-wade-matteson-20180724-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A four-bedroom, 2,280-square-foot house in south suburban Matteson that is owned by basketball star Dwyane Wade has been on the market since May for $269,900. A South Side native who starred at Richards High School in Oak Lawn before attending Marquette University, Wade, 36, has played in the NBA for 16 years, most of the time for the Miami Heat. He played a year for the Bulls in 2016-2017. Public records show that Wade bought the house new in 2006 with his then-wife, Siohvaughn Funches, for $390,000. After the couple’s divorce, Wade was awarded the house in 2014. Now, Wade is trying to sell the house, which is in Matteson’s Newbury Estates neighborhood. The house has three baths, a large foyer with a vaulted ceiling, hardwood floors throughout, a family room with a gas fireplace and a wet bar, and a master suite with a private balcony, a large walk-in closet and a tray ceiling overlooking the family room. Wade first listed the house in May for $290,000 and last month cut his asking price to $269,900.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Sauer’s immediate successor in the legislature will be selected by a group formed by Lake County Republican Party leader Mark Shaw and Barrington Township Republican committeeman Chris Geissler, representing the small Cook County portion of the 51st District. Shaw doesn’t know if the GOP will nominate the same person to run in November, which is a separate process. Shaw plans to consult Republican House Leader Jim Durkin on the decisions. Republican officials typically would seek applicants, Shaw said. But time is short because ballots must be finalized and certified by Aug. 30.)

Nick Sauer, R-Lake Barrington, stepped down after a news outlet published allegations he engaged in “revenge porn.” The lightning-quick turnaround is something to behold in Springfield. Allegations of behavior that used to be excused, tolerated and buried are now addressed seriously, swiftly and publicly.)

— Some Ideas to Think About – Walter E. Williams (DIERSEN: What did you do to avoid poverty? 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.)
http://www.gopusa.com/?p=51479
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Poverty is no mystery, and it’s easily avoidable. The poverty line that the Census Bureau used in 2016 for a single person was an income of $12,486 that year. For a two-person household, it was $16,072, and for a four-person household, it was $24,755. To beat those poverty thresholds is fairly simple. Here’s the road map: Complete high school; get a job, any kind of a job; get married before having children; and be a law-abiding citizen. How about some numbers? A single person taking a minimum wage job would earn an annual income of $15,080. A married couple would earn $30,160. By the way, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, less than 4 percent of hourly workers in 2016 were paid the minimum wage. That means that over 96 percent of workers earned more than the minimum wage. Not surprising is the fact that among both black and white married couples, the poverty rate is in the single digits. Most poverty is in female-headed households.)
