October 12 Evening Edition

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Trump looms large as Rep. Peter Roskam fights for his political life against Sean Casten – Patrick M. O’Connell, Mike Riopell (DIERSEN: This article includes a report on what Roskam said and on what others said concerning Roskam at the Milton Township Republican Central Committee’s (MTRCC) outstanding meeting Wednesday evening, October 10, 2018, at the Wheaton Bowl Banquet Hall. 15 candidates were at the meeting – 1 for a federal office: Peter Roskam; 5 for state offices: Peter Breen, Mike Connelly, Amy Grant, Jay Kinzler, and Seth Lewis; eight for county offices: Grant Eckhoff, Gwen Henry, Paul Hinds, Jeff MacKay, Kevin Wiley, Karen Wilson, Chris Zaruba, and Jim Zay; and 1 for a municipal office: Suzanne Fitch. State Representative Jeanne Ives announced that she is circulating petitions for Wheaton mayoral candidate Phil Suess. Other meeting attendees included Ron Almiron, Roger Bohn, Lori Carlson, Joe Caruso, Bob Cherry, Jeff Cooper, Lynn Crane, Flo Dangelo, Tim Elliott (DuPage County Board), Sal Falbo (Milton Township Trustee), Mike Formento, Hide Holan, Babette Holder, Marty Keller (MTRCC Vice Chairman), Bob Krzyzewski, Larry LaVanway, Alex LeVan, Chris LeVan (MTRCC Chairman and Milton Township Assessor), Carl Lofgren, Paula McGowen (DuPage County Regional School Board Member), Bobby McNeily, Ron Menna, Dave Molitor (Milton Township Trustee), John Monino (MTRCC Secretary and Milton Township Trustee), Gary Muehlfelt (Milton Township Highway Commissioner), Barb Murphy (DuPage County Republican Party Chairwoman), Yadav Nathwani (MTRCC Treasurer and Milton Township Trustee), Nicole Prater (Winfield Township Republican Central Committee Chairman), Mary Rash, Pat Ryan, Janet Shaw, B.J. Slinger, Chuck Smith, and Tim Whelan (DuPage County Forest Preserve Commissioner). I have been a MTRCC member since 1999, and since then, I have had the best MTRCC meeting and MTRCC fundraiser attendance record. In 2002, I got MTRCC to begin holding its monthly meetings at the Wheaton Bowl, and MTRCC has met there ever since. In 2000, under MTRCC Chairman Randy Hultgren, I published MTRCC’s first website and I served as MTRCC’s webmaster 2000-2004 and 2008-2010. Both Hultgren and Roskam endorsed me when I first ran for Precinct Committeeman in 2000. Since 2000, I have included reports on MTRCC meetings and fundraisers in GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: As U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam rallied die-hard Republicans in a private room at the Wheaton Bowl’s banquet hall on Wednesday, Ed Raab was outside keeping watch over the check-in counter, the clatter of pins echoing across the lanes. “If I wasn’t working,” Raab said, “I’d be right in there with them.” Roskam shook a few hands, and chatted with campaign volunteers, local precinct committeemen and DuPage County candidates before he strode to the podium for a short speech. “I’m incredibly energized by this campaign,” Roskam said. “I’m incredibly heartened by all of your support. … Now is the time for us to press forward.” Behind him, next to stacks of yard signs, was a lifesize cardboard cutout of President Donald Trump flashing a thumbs-up. Someone had placed a red “Make America Great Again” cap atop the cardboard Trump’s head. . .To win, Roskam likely needs to strike a balance between keeping Trump supporters on board, but also preventing independent and centrist Republican voters from abandoning him even if they don’t like the president. “The people in this district, I don’t think they’d do that,” said Raab, who credited the biggest take-home pay he’s ever had in 42 years working at the bowling alley to the Republican tax overhaul Roskam championed. “I think they’re pretty true to the people they’re backing.” . . . “The reason the national Democratic Party believes that Congressman Roskam’s district is in play is solely based on President Trump,” said Kirk Dillard, a former DuPage County Republican chairman, state senator and Illinois governor candidate. Casten has tried to get into a position to capitalize, calling Trump the “worst president of our generation.” He raised twice as much money as Roskam last quarter, his $2.6 million buttressed by millions of dollars in advertising from a group backed by House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi. The latest spots hit Roskam over taxes and health care, saying it’s time he “checked out of Congress.” . . . “Peter wins close races because he is an exceptionally hard-working candidate, incredibly articulate speaker and has a volunteer base of dedicated individuals second to none,” Dillard said. Since that election 12 years ago, Democrats have made inroads in Roskam’s home base of DuPage County. President Barack Obama won the county twice, and the prosperous patchwork of suburbs recently has sent two Democratic state lawmakers to Springfield. Babette Holder, a Republican committeewoman in Wheaton, said the Trump factor matters “a lot” in this race. “I’ve never seen a midterm like this before,” Holder said. “I think it’ll be a big challenge this time.” But her hope is that when voters examine the issues, they’ll turn to Roskam, who she said breaks from the party and the president when necessary. “I am worried,” Holder said, “I’m not going to lie to you and say I’m not worried. It’ll come down to turnout.” . . . At the bowling alley on Wednesday, Raab said Roskam isn’t perfect, but he’s still preferable to the alternative. “He’s done some things I don’t agree with, but I like him a lot better than his opponent,” Raab said.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Vice President Mike Pence arrives in southern Illinois today to campaign for Rep. Rodney Davis, the incumbent Republican from the central Illinois to Metro East areas where President Trump still has some clout. GOP Congressman Peter Roskam is listed as one of the honorary co-hosts of today’s luncheon fundraiser, along with Congressmen Mike Bost, Randy Hultgren, Adam Kinzinger, Darin LaHood and John Shimkus. But don’t expect Roskam to get too cozy with the White House in the run-up to Election Day — Trump remains unpopular in Roskam’s suburban Chicago-based district. In fact, the president is a big reason Roskam’s seat is suddenly one of the most endangered GOP seats in the nation. How endangered? Enough that party strategists are suggesting he might be abandoned as a lost cause if his campaign doesn’t “recover quickly.” For now though, the NRCC is out with a new attack ad aimed at his opponent, Democrat Sean Casten. And Roskam’s camp says the NRCC is pouring $1.5 million into its race. The veteran congressman will need it. Casten has $4.6 million reserved for ads. And a poll commissioned by Casten two weeks ago showed him ahead 49 percent to Roskam’s 44 percent.)

— Illinois CPA Society Seeks Minority Candidates for Internship Preparation Program – Illinois CPA Society (DIERSEN: Did you get any internships while you were in college? I did not. I was draft bait. I just barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class. My ACT was only 24. I delivered mail for the Park Forest Post Office during the summers of 1967, 1968, and 1969 while I attended UIC and NIU. In retrospect, with benefit of hindsight, I should have majored in accounting at UIC and NIU. Nevertheless, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 and I became a licensed CPA in 1981. I have been an Illinois CPA Society member since 1979.)
https://www.cpapracticeadvisor.com/news/12433223/illinois-cpa-society-seeks-minority-candidates-for-internship-preparation-program
(FROM THE ANNOUNCEMENT: The Illinois CPA Society is seeking minority college students who are sophomores, juniors, or seniors interested in accounting to apply for the Mary T. Washington Wylie Internship Preparation Program. This highly competitive and all-expenses paid program will be held January 3-5, 2019. This program prepares up to 25 racially/ethnically diverse students for entry-level positions with access to practical training, resources, and potential future employers. Highlights from the agenda include resume advice and interview coaching from recruiters and volunteer experts. Additionally, all participants receive a $500 scholarship, business cards, a professional headshot, and a LinkedIn profile. At the end of the program, participating employers conduct onsite interviews with the students for a variety of opportunities, including Abbott Laboratories, Crowe LLP, Deloitte LLP, Ernst & Young LLP, Grant Thornton LLP, KPMG LLP, PwC LLP, and Sikich LLP. “When our scholars end up receiving internships and even full-time job offers, it’s highly rewarding to know that we’ve helped brighten their futures,” said Kari Natale, Director, CPA Endowment Fund of Illinois. “Not only do students leave motivated to succeed, but we see them become more confident and better prepared than they ever imagined.” This program is funded by donations to the CPA Endowment Fund of Illinois’ Mary T. Washington Wylie Opportunity Fund, which honors Mrs. Washington Wylie’s legacy by offering opportunities that promote diversity and strengthen the accounting profession.)

But what’s apparent on the map above is that it is barely sufficient for a studio apartment in the big cities, and it could upset workers already earning $15 and more.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/daily-southtown/opinion/ct-sta-slowik-highest-paid-superintendent-st-1011-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A system that rewards public servants with excessive compensation should rile south suburban homeowners struggling to pay high property taxes and other bills. Paraday’s base salary this year is $309,306, but that’s only part of the story. The cost of health insurance, an annuity, pension contributions, a car allowance and other expenses drove Paraday’s total compensation for the year to $407,145 — making him the highest-paid superintendent in Illinois. Paraday oversees 1,130 students in three schools, which were delayed from opening in August due to mold in the junior high. Yet, Paraday makes more than the CEO of Chicago Public Schools, who oversees 371,382 students in 644 schools. Open the Books, a Burr Ridge-based watchdog group, discovered that on top of his other compensation, Paraday is set to receive a “golden handshake” of $762,615 for unused paid days off. “Unused, earned sick leave, unused vacation days and unused personal business days shall be allowed to (accumulate), without limit,” Paraday’s contract states. “The superintendent, at his discretion, may submit for payment, at the current per diem, any unused sick, personal or vacation day(s).” Paraday, 56, who has been superintendent since 2005, accumulated 567 days at a rate of $1,345 per day, Open the Books said, based on information it obtained from the district through the Freedom of Information Act. “The bloated Illinois education bureaucracy rewards those who know how to play the pay-and-pension lottery,” Adam Andrzejewski, Open the Books founder and CEO said in a statement. “It’s time the dollars start following the children rather than the bureaucracy.”)

Under the new plan, taxpayers will be able deduct state individual income, sales and property taxes up to $10,000. The deduction is currently unlimited. All Illinois Dems but Rep. Dan Lipinski signed the letter saying the provision will have “serious consequences for Illinoisans.” – Shia Kapos (DIERSEN: Roskam should increase the $10,000 SALT cap to $20,000 for married filing jointly.)

They hinted/implied/argued/shouted that the graduate business and accounting courses that I took a) were not job-related, b) did not help me carry out my job duties, c) qualified me for a “new trade or business,” d) were taken by me to get a job in the private sector, and e) were a distraction.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: 1. Illinois (Republican-held. Previous ranking 2): Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner (R) is the most vulnerable governor this cycle. Despite having endless millions to spend on his race, he was always going to have a tough path to reelection in a Democratic state. It was the entrance of a third-party conservative candidate that appeared to seal his fate by making Rauner a governor without a natural constituency. Democrat J.B. Pritzker, another billionaire, looks like he’ll cruise to victory.)

https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/How-does-a-Bay-Area-Republican-survive-Act-like-13293456.php
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Catharine Baker calls herself pro-choice, pro-environment and pro-gun control. As the only Republican to hold partisan office in the decidedly liberal Bay Area, it may be the only way she can hang on. Since she was first elected in 2014, the East Bay assemblywoman has split with the GOP on issues that define it nationally and has sought to distance herself from the man who now controls the Republican Party, President Trump. Her tenure in Sacramento has been marked by frequent excursions across the aisle to work with Democrats. “That’s one of the strongest signatures of my record: independence from parties and interest groups,” Baker said. “I feel I’m one of the most effective members of the Legislature that way.”)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— In debate with J.B. Pritzker, Gov. Bruce Rauner says illegal immigration contributes to Chicago gun violence – Rick Pearson, Mike Riopell (DIERSEN: Those who want Rauner to lose want Rauner to talk like Pritzker does about illegal immigration. Pritzker says illegals “are good for the economy of the state of Illinois” and “that what we need to do is protect the immigrants that are here in our state. We have immigrants here who are not protected, under attack by President Trump. He (Rauner) stands with President Trump on this. I do not.”)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-met-illinois-governors-race-debate-rauner-pritzker-20181009-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Gov. Bruce Rauner and challenger J.B. Pritzker clashed over immigration and Chicago violence Tuesday, with the Republican chief executive alleging that immigrants living illegally in the state are a factor in the city’s crime problem while the Democrat said they contribute to Illinois’ economy. . .Rauner, who has been trailing Pritzker by double digits in independently conducted polls, indicated the need to continue to heal a core GOP constituency, social conservatives, with his latest remarks on immigration. Social conservatives have been upset with Rauner’s signing of laws that expanded immigration, abortion and transgender rights. Rauner sought to make clear that he signed legislation preventing law enforcement from stopping someone solely on his or her immigration status only because it was backed by law enforcement. “Illegal immigration takes jobs away from Americans. It holds down wages, hurts union workers, farmworkers, factory workers, hurts wages and raises unemployment,” Rauner said. “One of the reasons we have such high unemployment in the city of Chicago and so much crime is the massive number of illegal immigrants here take jobs away from American citizens and Chicago citizens,” he contended, adding that Pritzker wants to make Illinois a “sanctuary state.”)
— Scalise to help Roskam raise money in Illinois’ 6th
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-met-morning-spin-rauner-pritzker-sterigenics-ad-20181008-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam is set to get a fundraising boost from a Southern congressman who defeated him in a bid to move up House Republican leadership. U.S. Rep. Steve Scalise of Louisiana will be in Naperville on Wednesday, Oct. 17, at a reception for Roskam, according to the invitation. A ticket goes for $50, and a “private roundtable” goes for $1,000. Four years ago, Scalise bested Roskam in the race for House majority whip, a post that opened up in the leadership shuffle following Eric Cantor’s primary loss to Dave Brat in Virginia. At the time, Roskam was the No. 4 Republican in the House, but his unsuccessful attempt to move up left him out of GOP leadership. Last year, Scalise was shot by a Belleville, Ill., man during practice for the annual congressional baseball game. He has since made his return to Congress, where he still serves as whip under House Speaker Paul Ryan. Roskam, of Wheaton, is locked in a tough re-election battle with Democratic businessman Sean Casten of Downers Grove, who raised $2.6 million in the third quarter, according to his campaign. Roskam’s campaign said he raised about $1.3 million.)

— ‘Sanctuary cities’ don’t care if restaurants exploit undocumented workers – Neil Gaffney, Lake View (DIERSEN: Have you ever been a restaurant worker? I washed dishes part-time for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresges in Chicago Heights 1964-1966. That job enabled me to buy a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in May of 1966. If there had been as many illegals around back then as there are now, I doubt that I would have been offered that job. I cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline during the summer of 1966. I saved the money that I earned for UIC college expenses. If there had been as many illegals around back then as there are now, I doubt that I would have been offered those jobs.)
https://chicago.suntimes.com/opinion/undocumented-immigrants-restaurant-industry-labor-rights-letters/
(FROM THE LETTER: As I read the article “Chinatown job agencies, Asian restaurants ‘exploit’ Latinos, say workers, suit” (Oct. 7), two questions came to mind regarding Chicago and other sanctuary cities like San Francisco. On the one hand, is sanctuary first and foremost a program designed to allow the undocumented to build a life with dignity? Or, on the other hand, is it a program more designed to allow employers access to cheap unskilled labor with no labor rights, no job protections, zero benefits, and no right to complain since you risk being reported to Immigration and Customs Enforcement? I think the latter, actually. Why hire a low-skilled American citizen who will come with a multitude of labor rights and job protections, when you can hire an undocumented low-skilled worker really cheap, without any of that baggage? An employer’s dream, and the sanctuary cities are fine with it. Some sanctuary.)

I paid property taxes a) on my new town home in University Park 1972-1984, b) on my studio condo in downtown Chicago 1974-1976, and c) on my one bedroom condo in downtown Chicago 1974-1976. My wife and I paid property taxes on 1017 East Harrison in Wheaton 1978-1984. My wife and I have paid property taxes on 915 Cove Court in Wheaton since 1984. My wife and I have never sent any children to any public school. My wife has never attended a school. I attended Crete-Monee High School 1962-1966. What do you say to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who want my wife and I to pay more property taxes, more income taxes, and more other taxes? They stress that I avoided the draft and my wife and I gave up trying to have children, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents. They hint/imply/argue/shout that the federal government grossly overpaid me and that my federal retirement benefits are much too generous.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The battle over Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court confirmation may have ended, but it’s ignited a group of Chicago-area pro-choice activists. They’re launching WomenAreTheBlueWave.com to turn red legislative seats blue. “We marched. We voted. Now we need to volunteer,” the web site states. The effort was initiated by Illinois Democratic Women and Personal PAC. “Women are going to make the difference in November here and throughout the nation and we want to help harness that energy given that more is at stake now than ever before for women and families,” says Jennifer Lee, co-President of IL Democratic Women. How it works: Women and their allies are invited to sign up at WomenAreTheBlueWave.com. They will then be connected with nearby local campaigns that need volunteer help the most to flip key state districts for candidates with pro-women and pro-choice agendas.)

In its February 1978 issue, Money Magazine published a 4-page article on me in which it painted my education deductions as being improper. In the article, Money Magazine hinted/implied/argued/shouted that the graduate business and accounting courses I deducted were not job-related, did not help me carry out my job duties, were taken by me to get a job in the private sector, and were a distraction. My Democrat IRS superiors were more than happy to use Money Magazine’s article to disallow my education deductions and to end my IRS career. Money Magazine and IRS would not have done the aforesaid if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, or a veteran. Further, the writer of the article disapproved of my demographics, including my religion and my national origin.)

FORBES
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Anti-Trumps demonize, denigrate, and condemn Kavanaugh’s comportment. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always tried to get me to raise my voice, to get angry, and to lose my temper. I should write a book about them.)
https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnbaldoni/2018/10/06/what-justice-kavanaugh-teaches-us-about-comportment/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Partisans on both sides of the issue have made much of the hearings. Those for Kavanaugh’s nomination believe he was railroaded by the left and therefore is entitled to defend himself, even losing his temper. Those against Kavanaugh position him as an arrogant and entitled person of privilege who shows himself without the temperament to be a justice. Anyone wrongly accused has a right to defend himself – loudly and vociferously. But when that person periodically loses his cool and resorts to partisan conspiracy theories, then people become suspicious. In fact, more than 2400 law professors signed a letter attesting to Kavanaugh’s intemperance and unsuitability for the high court. Comportment is essential to leadership. Until recently, our society has always valued politicians who kept their cool, in fact, those who did not were often voted from office, or mocked.)

EDWARDSVILLE INTELLIGENCER
— German heritage deep in Illinois? – Tom Emery (DIERSEN: Government is nasty. Politics is nasty. In government and in politics, your critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes use everything that they can, including your national origin, against you. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, including those of German national origin, who have used my German national origin against me.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Saturday is German-American Day, which is observed every Oct. 6. In Illinois, there is plenty of reason to celebrate. German ancestry remains prevalent in Illinois, as it has for a century and a half. The strength of German-Americans helped shape Illinois history through a Civil War — and two world wars against the old country. Of Illinois’ nearly 1.8 million residents in 1860, nearly 325,000 were of foreign birth. Germans were the largest ethnic group with 130,000, nearly 8 percent of the state’s total population. In Chicago, 20 percent of the population was German. Many had arrived following the failed German revolution of 1848. A heavy concentration of Germans also was found in St. Clair County, near Belleville. Others settled in cities such as Quincy, Alton, Peoria, Springfield and Galena. In the northern Illinois community of Peru, Germans made up 1,000 of the total population of 3,500 in 1854. The names of a number of communities across the state honor German heritage, including New Baden, New Minden, Germantown, Darmstadt and Meppen. Many Germans were farmers, while others were laborers, merchants and skilled tradesmen. Some followed the popular crafts of their homeland and worked as butchers, bakers, shoemakers, furniture and wagon builders, and cigar makers. Architecture of traditionally German-American buildings, often in brick, remains visible across the state. German-language newspapers were found across the state, even in the smaller cities. In 1859, future presidential candidate Abraham Lincoln bought the press and type to establish a German-language Republican paper. In Peoria, future Illinois Secretary of State Edward Rummel, a native of Baden, Germany, ran a German paper and print shop that produced materials in both German and English. John Wood, who founded the city of Quincy and served as Illinois governor for 10 months in 1860 and 1861, was born to a German mother. In 1892, Prussia native John Altgeld, best known for his pardon of three of the accused in the infamous Haymarket Riot, won election for one term as Illinois governor. Politically, Germans’ support was crucial for a candidate, and their power was felt in 1856 during the first Illinois Republican state convention. The German influence also was a key factor in the 1860 presidential race and, at the Republican National Convention in Chicago, German resolutions were even incorporated into the national platform. Germans were perceived to be staunch abolitionists, though some scholars dispute that claim. Nearly 6,000 Illinois Germans enlisted during the first six months of the Civil War, comprising almost three entire regiments. One top German commander was Friedrich Hecker, a renowned 1848 revolutionary who was a gentleman farmer near Belleville, in the heart of heavily German settlements. Another German regimental commander from St. Clair County was Gustave Koerner, who served as lieutenant governor of Illinois from 1852 to 1856 and was a pallbearer at Lincoln’s Springfield funeral. By 1910, more than 319,000 German immigrants were in Illinois, and more than 1 million people of German descent — a 10th of the national total — called the state home. With nearly 400,000 first- and second-generation German immigrants, Chicago was the sixth-largest German city on the globe in 1914. The high concentration of Germans caused some protest at the outbreak of World War I, as many of German descent decried their adopted country’s stance against their homeland. Music by German composers such as Mozart and Beethoven was banned in some public places, and some German-Americans were under surveillance by state and federal officials. Other German-Americans were forced to recite loyalty oaths in public spectacles. Within a few years, use of the once-prominent German language faded from schools and churches. As a result, many Germans in Illinois distanced themselves from their heritage. From 1914 to 1920, the number of Illinois residents who identified themselves as German on the Census dropped more than 41 percent, to 112,000. But many Germans remained loyal to the American cause and took active roles in the war effort, both at home and abroad. A quarter-century later, dislike of German residents was a minor issue in World War II, as many chose to focus their disgust on Adolph Hitler, rather than their German neighbors. Today, German heritage in Illinois is celebrated in festivals and carnivals statewide, while some communities in Chicagoland — as well as Moline, Peoria, Gibson City, Mascoutah, Waterloo and Millstadt — feature popular German restaurants. Museums and research centers on German-American history and heritage are found in several large metro areas, including Chicago, and the Quad Cities.)
