QUAD CITIES ONLINE
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Scott Reader discusses reparations and racism. How much in reparations have you paid already? The more that you have paid the price of Affirmative Action (AA), Diversity, and Inclusion, the more that you have paid reparations. Democrats use AA, Diversity, Inclusion, up-or-our, and budget cuts to make Republicans pay reparations. 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 $19,568 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. 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 Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH BIG COLOR PICTURE: Will wealthy leave Illinois if graduated income tax happens? It didn’t happen with last tax hike – BGA (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, the Democrats who run Illinois make it clear that they want individuals, organizations, and companies to leave Illinois that are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190410/will-wealthy-leave-illinois-if-graduated-income-tax-happens-it-didnt-happen-with-last-tax-hike
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The federal records reveal robust growth in the numbers of Illinois tax filers with incomes of $100,000 or greater from 2011 through 2014 when lawmakers temporarily boosted the state’s flat income tax rate to 5% from 3%. Over that time, the total number of federal tax filers in the state grew by 9,000, an almost imperceptible one-tenth of 1%. But the number of filers reporting adjusted gross income between $100,000 and $200,000 grew by 16%, while the number reporting income over $200,000 rose by 29%. The wealthiest got even wealthier, with 3,618 Illinoisans reporting $1 million-plus incomes in 2014, up 25% from four years earlier. Those earning more than $100,000 annually accounted for all the increase in collective earnings among Illinois taxpayers between 2006 and 2016. Meanwhile, more than 70% of Illinois tax filers reported annual income of less than $75,000 in 2016, and there were 300,000 fewer of them that year than in 2006.)

Democrats use AA, Diversity, and Inclusion to not hire, to not retain, to not promote, and to get rid of Republicans, and especially Republicans who are White, male, older, and/or non-veteran. While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 year, my superiors were always under tremendous pressure from Democrat politicians to use AA, Diversity, Inclusion, up-or-out, and budget cuts to not hire, to not retain, to not promote, and to get rid of Republicans, and especially Republicans who are White, male, older, and/or non-veteran. 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 $19,568 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. 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 Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968. )

WIKIPEDIA
— G.I. Bill & Veterans’ Preference (DIERSEN: Government is nasty. Politics is nasty. Democrats are nasty. How did the G.I. Bill and Veterans’ Preference impact you? My Democrat superiors, Democrat supervisors, Democrat coworkers, and Democrat subordinates in the federal government always stressed that I was not a veteran, but far worse than that, that I avoided the draft. They focused on and succeeded turning my many Democrat superiors, Democrat supervisors, Democrat coworkers, and Democrat subordinates who were veterans against me.) 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G.I._Bill
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veterans’_Preference_Act_of_1944

(FROM THE G.I. BILL ARTICLE: Benefits included dedicated payments of tuition and living expenses to attend high school, college or vocational/technical school, low-cost mortgages, low-interest loans to start a business, as well as one year of unemployment compensation. It was available to all veterans who had been on active duty during the war years for at least 90 days and had not been dishonorably discharged—exposure to combat was not required. The recipients did not pay any income tax on the G.I. benefits, since they were not considered earned income. By 1956, roughly 7.8 million veterans had used the G.I. Bill education benefits, some 2.2 million to attend colleges or universities and an additional 5.6 million for some kind of training program. Historians and economists judge the G.I. Bill a major political and economic success—especially in contrast to the treatments of World War I veterans—and a major contribution to America’s stock of human capital that encouraged long-term economic growth. FROM THE VETERANS’ PREFERENCE ARTICLE: The Vietnam War in the 1960s resulted in several modifications of the VP law of 1944. In 1966, legislation was passed which granted peace-time preference for Vietnam-era vets who served on active duty for more than 180 consecutive days between January 31, 1955 and October 10, 1976; National guard and reserve service was excluded from this legislation. In 1967 legislation was passed which expanded preference to all veterans who served on active duty for more than 180 days (no requirement to serve during war, campaign, or conflict) between January 31, 1955 and October 10, 1976. As with the previous year’s law, National guard and reserve service was not included in this expansion. The end of the Vietnam War brought with it yet another law, passed in 1976. This law put added restrictions on veterans whose service begins after October 14, 1976. For post-Vietnam era veterans, preference was granted only if these veterans became disabled, or served in a declared war, a campaign, or expedition. This legislation was the result of the conclusion of the Vietnam War and its draft and the United States Department of Defense’s desire to build a career military service. The Civil Service reform act of 1978 created new benefits for veterans with a 30 percent or more disability. It also gave veterans extra protection in hiring and retention. Under this act, preference was no longer granted to nondisabled veterans who retired at the rank of major or above. In 1988, a law was passed that required the Department of Labor to report agencies’ violations of veterans’ preference and failure to list vacancies with State employment services to the Office of Personnel Management for enforcement.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: As Illinois seems to creep toward full legalization of marijuana, it might be useful to consider some of the experiences of states where it already has been legalized. Washington and Colorado legalized recreational use in 2012. Oregon followed suit in 2014. A marketing firm, DHM Research, surveyed users in those three states. The results were reported in a national story, which ran earlier in The Daily Journal. Here’s what to expect: • If marijuana is legalized, use will increase. Those who use will up their consumption, in some cases moving from weekend recreation to every day. Some 44 percent of the legal consumers will use marijuana every day. • It is a male thing. Sixty percent of the users are men. If you have concerns about the growing inequity of men moving on to and graduating from college, this might give you pause. • Finally, and most disturbing, about one in every four users will go to work high or get high at work. We only can hope these people are not driving trucks, flying airplanes or designing bridges. There is a solid social trend toward legalization. Historically, society rotates those social ills it forgives and those it punishes severely. States, too, greedily eye the taxes they might collect to feed their bureaucracies. As we legalize, we also must regulate with common sense. There might be, perhaps, no penalty at all for smoking marijuana in your home. Yet if you choose to, say, jeopardize someone else’s life by being irresponsible, jail time would be more than appropriate.)

PJ MEDIA
— Why Are 2020 Democrats Embracing Slavery Reparations? – MATT MARGOLIS (DIERSEN: The Democrats who run the federal government use Affirmative Action (AA), Diversity, Inclusion, up-or-out, early retirement, etc. to get rid of their employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who they did not promote to GS-13 (currently $98,198) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $116,040) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $136,495) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (SES) (currently $165,500) by age 40. AA is reparations. Who has paid the price of AA? Few, if any, of my critics/opponents, their operative, or their dupes have paid the price of AA in any significant way. If I had been a minority or a female, the federal government would have promoted me into its SES long before I was 40 years old. However, because I am White, male, non-veteran, someone who complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, and someone who became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, they took many adverse actions against me including forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.) 
https://pjmedia.com/trending/why-are-2020-democrats-embracing-slavery-reparations/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Spoiler alert, Senator Booker: It won’t solve any problems. It won’t satisfy anyone. What exactly do proponents of slavery reparations believe that they will do that affirmative action policies in education, employment, awarding of government contracts, etc., etc. couldn’t? If the election of Barack Obama to the highest office in the land (despite his radicalism and lack of qualifications) wasn’t proof that we, as a nation, have moved far beyond the days of slavery, then what will? A check? For how much? Will we finally be able to put an end to affirmative action policies? Of course not, that’s not the point.)

They include a) past and present Milton Township Republican Central Committee, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Illinois Center Right Coalition, American Association of Political Consultants, City of Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, Illinois, GAO, IRS, Post Office, etc. officials, employees, and members and b) those who I have sued.) 
https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2019/04/08/how-paranoia-about-deep-state-brought-down-president/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In the Nixon White House, ruminating about the threat of a deep state was common fodder. President Richard Nixon’s team sought to discredit, even destroy, political opponents, inside government and out, by pursuing them as un-American traitors. Nixon’s deep-statism illustrated the self-destructiveness undergirding conspiracism, and ultimately led to his resignation.)

The following urged voters in my precinct to vote for the Democrat Prendiville: Daily Herald, former Wheaton Mayors Gwen Henry and Jim Carr, current and former Wheaton City Council members Todd Scalzo, John Rutledge, Liz Corry, Howard Levine, Alan Bolds, and Thor Saline, District 200 Board President Brad Paulsen, Board members Jim Vroman, Ginna Ericksen, Jim Gambaiani, Jim Mathieson, and Chris Crabtree, and Park District Board members Ray Morrill, Jane Hodgkinson, and Terry Mee.)

In my precinct, a) Trump got only 137 votes in the 2016 general election while Clinton got 211 and b) Trump got only 21 votes in the 2016 Republican primary while Kasich got 93.)

https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190330/dupage-ballots-to-include-questions-about-taxes-consolidation
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Naperville Township Voters in Naperville Township will decide whether a previously approved plan to consolidate a road district should be scrapped in favor of another proposal to dissolve the small unit of government. Residents in Naperville and Lisle townships in 2017 approved a measure to combine their road districts to form one agency. The consolidation is scheduled to take effect May 2021. But Naperville Township officials put a new question on the ballot that asks voters if they want to follow a state law that allows the township government to absorb the road district. Naperville Township officials say they believe the outcome of Tuesday’s vote would supersede the decision from two years ago. But they don’t know for certain that the idea of absorbing the road district into the township legally can replace the previously approved — and now required — merger.)

(DIERSEN: What if back in 1997 one of my Democrat GAO Chicago Office superiors, supervisors, coworkers, or subordinates had nominated GAO for this while still worked there? What if GAO had agreed to participate? What if the Chicago Tribune had distributed a confidential survey to me? Back then, my Democrat GAO superiors used Affirmative Action, Diversity, Inclusion, up-or-out, and Republican-led budget cuts a) to hire, retain, and promote young Democrat minorities and young Democrat females and b) to make way for them by getting rid of their employees like me who were Republican, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-biz-top-workplaces-2019-nominations-20190326-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A top workplace can be described this way: It’s an organization that is successful because its employees enjoy their work, embrace their mission and feel like valued teammates. Compensation and perks are factors, but the more important components include opportunities for professional growth and being treated with respect. To qualify, a workplace must have at least 100 employees in the Chicago area. Nominations are open to all employers, including nonprofits. Nominated companies that agree to participate will distribute to employees between April and July an easy-to-complete, confidential survey developed by the Tribune’s research partner, Energage, which will calculate the list of top workplaces.)

HERALD & REVIEW
— MARCH 1, 2019 FLASHBACK: Smaller governmental units cost less – Bryan Smith, Decatur
https://herald-review.com/opinion/letters/letter-smaller-governmental-units-cost-less/article_0056cd63-4272-5108-9df8-226415c421a3.html
(FROM THE LETTER: I am responding to the Herald & Review’s piece (“Time to address reducing some governing layers,” Feb. 24) in which it’s stated that Illinois’ taxes are high because there are too many forms of government. As the executive director of the Township Officials of Illinois, I’d like to share some important data from the Illinois Comptroller’s office that clearly dispels those claims. Indeed, state reporting shows that smaller units of local government in Illinois cost taxpayers less than larger units of government. This can be seen among municipalities where taxes per resident tend to be higher where governments are larger. There has been an aggressive push to eliminate township government in Illinois, often based on information that is simply not true. Townships, which are generally smaller, have had the lowest tax increase rates in recent decades among the various types of government in the state. Further, township labor costs per employee are also the lowest of any government type. Local democracy is stronger where local governments are smaller. If townships were to be eliminated and forced into consolidating with units of government with higher cost structures, taxes, spending and debt are likely to increase. Just as bad, it would make local governments less responsive to constituents. This is no way to reduce taxes.)

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— Illinois Democrats Offer Relief From Deduction Cap, But Not Repeal Lawmakers who won GOP-held seats want to increase $10,000 cap on state and local tax deduction – Richard Rubin (DIERSEN: Trump should increase the $10,000 SALT cap to $20,000 for married filing jointly.)
https://www.wsj.com/articles/illinois-democrats-offer-relief-from-deduction-cap-but-not-repeal-11553805167
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republicans imposed the $10,000 cap as part of the 2017 tax law, which also cut tax rates, doubled the child tax credit and sharply narrowed the alternative minimum tax. Most taxpayers, even in high-tax states, received tax cuts, but the cap still proved unpopular with suburban voters. That provision contributed to GOP election losses in high-tax states such as New York, New Jersey, California and Illinois, where Mr. Casten defeated Rep. Peter Roskam, a chief author of the tax law.)
