For me, it is seeing the success that Democrats and Democrat plants, Libertarians and Libertarian plants, Greens and Green plants, and RINOs are having in my neighborhood, in my precinct, in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois in getting rid of individuals, organizations, and companies that are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, German American, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: Tollway reform rollout takes back seat to political firing brouhaha – Marni Pyke
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20181129/tollway-reform-rollout-takes-back-seat-to-political-firing-brouhaha
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Controversy erupted at the Illinois tollway Thursday as Executive Director Liz Gorman pushed back against allegations of politically motivated “firings” and said one administrator’s exit was a cause of celebration. The blowup coincided with the agency’s rollout of new ethics procedures prepared in response to concerns about potential favoritism regarding contracts and hiring. “The tollway is a well-run, transparent organization, but we can always look for better ways and better practices,” Chairman Robert Schillerstrom said. However, Director Joseph Gomez criticized the ethics report for failing to address “what might be considered political firings.” Gomez said high-ranking managers in communications and human resources were terminated this year and told “the toll road was headed in a different direction.” “I don’t find that a good reason to fire senior members of the toll road staff,” Gomez said. “What was the ‘new direction’ at the tollway?” Gorman told Gomez, “If you’re inferring that I’m a woman and can’t handle it, I don’t appreciate it and that’s not the case.” “I don’t believe in firing people. They fire themselves,” she said. And when one department head left this spring, “I believe the building was in (unison) in singing, ‘Ding, dong, the witch is dead,'” Gorman said. At that point, Senior Assistant Attorney General Robert Lane admonished Gorman and board members that personnel discussions should occur in executive session. “I am so sorry you would think that anybody is disparaging you because of being a female,” Gomez told Gorman. “There are no political firings,” Schillerstrom clarified, adding personnel issues are handled by tollway executives, not board members.)
