— Lyft Shuttle: A bus, but without all those pesky poor people – Ann Friedman  (DIERSEN: How much have you used public transportation, that is, how poor are/were you?  I used public transportation for 3 months in 1971 and then 1973-1997.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/commentary/ct-lyft-shuttle-bus-perspec-20170626-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: According to Pew Research Center data, “Americans who are lower-income, black or Hispanic, immigrants or under 50 are especially likely to use public transportation on a regular basis.” Meanwhile ride-hailing apps, reports Pew, are especially popular among college grads with incomes above $75,000 a year. You don’t need a route map to see where this is going.)

My having worked for Firestone Stores 1970-1972 and for IRS 1971-1980 helped me avoid exorbitant interest rates.  My wife and I borrowed to buy 1017 East Harrison in Wheaton in 1978 and to have 915 Cove Court built in Wheaton in 1984. My having worked for IRS 1971-1980 and for GAO 1980-1997 and my wife’s having worked for FBI 1968-1970 and for the U.S. League of Savings Institutions 1970-1992 helped us avoid exorbitant interest rates.)

http://chicago.suntimes.com/news/cpd-touts-mobile-ballistics-lab-loan-cultural-awareness-training/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Earlier Monday, Emanuel and Johnson invited reporters to the DuSable Museum of African American History in the Washington Park neighborhood, where 56 police recruits became the first to go through a day of cultural awareness training — a new requirement for future cops. Because violence most often effects those in economically disadvantaged neighborhoods, police interact more often than not with African Americans and other people of color, Johnson said. “Many of you will begin your careers in these areas and it’s important that you understand the history that created the conditions in these neighborhoods,” Johnson said.)

They side with the City of Wheaton, with the home’s builder, and with the subdivision’s developer against my wife and I.

— Help Stop the Deportation of Iraqi Christians! – Tami Jackson  (DIERSEN: (DIERSEN: How soon, if not already, will members of the following groups in America qualify for asylum in other countries: Trump supporter, Protestant, conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, German Americans, draft avoiders (except Bill Clinton), and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time?)
https://illinoisfamily.org/federal/help-stop-deportation-iraqi-christians/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: These Chaldean Christians most likely would qualify for asylum in the U.S. according to the necessary requirements: An asylum applicant must establish that he or she fears persecution in their home country. An applicant must prove that he or she would be persecuted on account of one of five protected grounds: race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or social group. An applicant must establish that the government is either involved in the persecution, or unable to control the conduct of private actors.)

WASHINGTON EXAMINER
— Make federal pensions transparent – Rep. Ron DeSantis and Adam Andrzejewski (DIERSEN: Questions for DeSantis and Andrzejewski: If you had started as a GS-4 federal employee when you were 18 like I did, how fast and how far would you have been promoted and why?  Would you have made GS-13 (currently $94,610) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $111,801) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $131,508) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $161,900) by age 40 and why?  Democrats run the federal government. When will critics of the federal government focus on patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation?  From the beginning of time, government employees have been viciously demonized, viciously denigrated, and viciously condemned. 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 test, 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.)
http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/make-federal-pensions-transparent/article/2627070
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Every year, the federal government pays $125 billion in tax dollars for federal pensions. In spite of this being such a large amount of money, there is a remarkable lack of transparency surrounding these funds. Taxpayers deserve to know the details of the lucrative pensions of career bureaucrats and members of Congress. Basic questions deserve answers: How many years were worked, how much money was paid-in and by whom, how quickly did they break-even on their own contributions, and just how much did the taxpayers finance? Releasing data on federal pensions will require an act of Congress, and we are leading the way. The Taxpayer Funded Pension Disclosure Act will empower citizens with the data and technologies to hold their government accountable like never before. Today, pension data is not merely opaque; it is literally hidden in an underground complex in Pennsylvania. Federal employees hand-calculate federal pensions in a process that has not changed since the Cold War era. How many mistakes has the government made in that cavernous complex? No one knows because we’re all in the dark. The case for greater federal pension transparency can easily be made by looking at the fraud that has already been exposed by non-profit organizations like Open The Books at the state level. In the 32 states that have pension transparency – including California, Illinois, New York and Oregon – citizens have exposed significant amounts of waste and mismanagement. Auditors at Open the Books uncovered a pair of union bosses in Illinois who taught as substitutes for one day in public schools and then retired, in order to collect a pension that will amount to $1 million dollars over their lifetime. At the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, data shows that a police lieutenant with a final salary of $129,000 received a starting pension of $172,000. An assistant airport operations manager retired with a final salary of $89,000, but soon began collecting a $103,000 pension. An electrician quit with a base salary of $76,000 and collected a pension of $79,000. With relatively little transparency, we’ve found numerous examples of waste and abuse across the country. Consider what we’d find if we could see more at the federal level. For instance, former IRS chief Lois Lerner used her authority to infringe the rights of American citizens and consistently obstructed congressional investigations. Wouldn’t it be nice to see her pension information? Her pension is estimated to equal nearly $2 million in lifetime payout. According to the Office of Personnel Management, in 2012, 21,000 retired federal employees were collecting pensions exceeding $100,000. Since then, the number has likely doubled or tripled. Moody’s estimates federal employee pensions have a $3.5 trillion-dollar unfunded liability, with taxpayers on the hook to guarantee it all. All of this information should be posted online in real time. Revealing this data across the board will allow citizens and policymakers to have a productive debate about pensions. Pulling this data out of the government’s underground pension cave and into the light will protect taxpayers, retirees, and near-retirees who have a right to ensure these taxpayer dollars are well-spent.)

COOK POLITICAL REPORT
— Governors: Overview
http://cookpolitical.com/story/10397
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The fifth seat is in Illinois where GOP Gov. Bruce Rauner is seeking a second term. Rauner has been under siege for much of his term in a stand off with the Democratic-controlled legislature over the state’s budget – or rather, the lack of one. The frontrunner for the Democratic nomination is billionaire J.B. Pritzker whose willingness to spend his personal wealth erases Rauner’s financial advantage: the Governor has already put $50 million into his campaign. As a Republican in a very blue state, Rauner is the most vulnerable incumbent seeking re-election next year.)
