DAILY HERALD
— MARCH 31, 2019 DUPAGE COUNTY HARDCOPY EDITION: DIERSEN HEADLINE: The Nine DuPage County Township Governments take out a full-page ad (Page 8). They stress their general assistance, emergency assistance, Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, and food pantry services.

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD IN DUPAGE EDITION: DuPage ballots to include questions about taxes, consolidation – Robert Sanchez
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.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— ‘Saturday Night Live’ follows Up on Jussie Smollett scandal – Danielle Turchiano
https://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/tv/ct-ent-snl-jussie-smollett-scandal-20190331-story.html
— Love your job? Tell us about it. Nominate your company as a top workplace. (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.)

NORTHWEST HERALD
— No end in sight: Algonquin Township officials predict lawsuits will brew for years Algonquin Township officials predict lawsuits will brew for years – ED KOMENDA (DIERSEN: To get me to turn against township government, those who want to abolish township government could stress the adverse actions that Milton Township officials and Milton Township employees have taken against me since the 1980s.) 
https://www.nwherald.com/2019/03/29/no-end-in-sight-algonquin-township-officials-predict-lawsuits-will-brew-for-years/ajnv1si/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “It’s been a long winter in Algonquin Township,” Chirikos said at the board’s March 20 meeting. “Longer still is the discontent felt by township taxpayers who have funded a two-year campaign to discredit township government through protracted and expensive legal challenges.”)

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.)

https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190330/how-waves-of-immigrants-are-overwhelming-asylum-process
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illegally crossing the border is a criminal offense, but asylum is a matter for civil courts. And that is where change is most needed, says David Iglesias, a Wheaton College professor who prosecuted many criminal cases between 2001 and 2007 as U.S. attorney for the District of New Mexico. “The laws haven’t caught up,” says Iglesias, director of the Wheaton Center for Faith, Politics and Economics. Some people seeking asylum might not meet the legal requirements when it comes to race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group, but they still have a well-founded fear of persecution due to gangs or violence in their homeland, Iglesias said. Asylum is granted unevenly. Statistics from 2015 show that New York City immigration judges denied 16 percent of asylum requests, while judges in Atlanta denied 98 percent.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Burnout is caused by chronic stress, not stressors, the Nagoskis say in their book. It’s important to differentiate the two. Stressors are external: to-do lists, financial problems or anxiety about the future. Stress, on the other hand, “is the neurological and physiological shift that happens in your body when you encounter [stressors],” the Nagoskis write. To fix burnout, people need to address the stress itself. They must allow their body to complete its stress response cycle. Instead, people tend to focus on stressors. “They assume their stress will go away if they’re on top of things, if they’re accomplishing things and constantly checking things off their to-do list,” Emily Nagoski says.)

https://www.dispatch.com/news/20190329/targeted-ads-have-facebook-in-trouble-with-hud
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The federal government charged Facebook with high-tech housing discrimination Thursday for allegedly allowing landlords and real estate brokers to systematically exclude groups such as non-Christians, immigrants and minorities from seeing ads for houses and apartments. . .Just last week, Facebook agreed to overhaul its targeting system and abandon some of the practices singled out by HUD to prevent discrimination, not just in housing listings but in credit and employment ads as well. The move was part of a settlement with the American Civil Liberties Union and other activists.)

— Why pay transparency alone won’t eliminate the persistent wage gap between men and women – Nancy Modesitt (DIERSEN: If I had been a woman, the federal government would have promoted me into its Senior Executive Service long before I was 40 years old.

https://phys.org/news/2019-03-transparency-wont-persistent-wage-gap.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The federal workforce, where the pay gap is significantly lower than in the private sector, can also be seen as support for the argument that pay transparency helps reduce it. The federal wage gap ranges from about 4 percent to 9 percent, when controlling for relevant factors that affect pay, compared with 8 percent to 18 percent among all employers.)

— Fourteen Questions About Your Assignment – Tim Hetzner
http://devotions.lccharities.org/2019/03/27/fourteen-questions-about-your-assignment/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When you know what your God-given assignment in life is, and that God is on your side, you become virtually unstoppable. Will you make mistakes? Of course, but God loves you enough to correct you, redirect you, and get you back on track. ‘How do I go about discovering my assignment?’ you ask. Here are fourteen helpful questions to ask yourself: 1) What desires have been living in me most of my life? 2) What motivates me to work hard and be productive? 3) What keeps me going forward when I’m worn out? 4) What makes me refuse to quit when I meet with resistance? 5) What do I do that doesn’t seem like work? 6) What do I do that brings a positive response and support from people? 7) What am I doing or what’s happening in my life when doors seem to open automatically and effortlessly? 8) What do wise leaders and godly counsellors think about my work? 9) What makes me feel good about being who I am? 10) What makes my creative juices flow? 11) What am I willing to sacrifice in order to accomplish it? 12) What am I doing that I’d be proud to offer for God’s approval? 13) What would I do without being paid for it if I could afford to? 14) What would I be willing to withstand Satan on in order to accomplish? Prayerfully consider these fourteen questions, and they will shed light on your God-given assignment in life.)

ROLL CALL
— Capitol Hill workplace watchdog issues repeat recommendations to Congress New OCWR report urges Hill to join the rest of the country – Katherine Tully-McManus (DIERSEN: Democrats run the federal government. Therefore, in actuality, federal employees do NOT have the right to oppose the promotion of dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, abolition of First and Second Amendment rights, patronage, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, or retaliation.) 
https://www.rollcall.com/news/congress/capitol-hill-workplace-watchdog-issues-repeat-recommendations-congress
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Last year’s overhaul of the workplace complaint reporting and resolution system on Capitol Hill addressed many recommendations from the Office of Congressional Workplace Rights. But the watchdog group is not done yet. Its latest report sent to House and Senate leaders earlier this month suggests further changes to apply federal workplace standards to the legislative branch. Congress hasn’t always chosen to apply to itself the same laws that the rest of the country must follow. When it comes to Hill employee rights, the Congressional Accountability Act of 1995 sets guidelines for the House, Senate and several related agencies. It was originally passed to help ensure that Hill staffers enjoy at least some of the same workplace and employment protections as private- and most public-sector employees.)

GAO
— Strategic Human Capital Management is Needed to Address Serious Risks to IRS’s Mission (DIERSEN: GAO audits IRS. I worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $8I,071-$91,880. I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980. I worked for GAO 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $96,403-$125,325/year. I should write a book about those who have wasted, dismissed, belittled, badmouthed, demonized, denigrated, and condemned that work experience the most. They include IRS officials, GAO officials, and past and present U.S. Senators, U.S. Representatives, their staffs, activists, candidates, elected officials, party leaders, major donors, political consultants, etc. in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, DuPage County, Illinois who claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican.)
https://www.gao.gov/products/GAO-19-176
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Fewer individual and corporate tax returns have been audited in recent years, largely because IRS doesn’t have the people it needs to enforce existing tax laws while implementing new laws. As a result, billions of dollars in taxes go unpaid every year. Enforcing tax laws, a High Risk area, is critical to promoting voluntary compliance and collecting unpaid taxes. IRS’s workforce is the key to addressing its challenges. Cultivating a well-equipped and engaged workforce requires strategic human capital management that will help IRS focus its current and future hiring needs. We made 6 recommendations to improve IRS’s human capital management.)

I bought that condo so that I could walk to work at IRS and to graduate business classes at Loyola. I traded it in to the building’s developer for a one bedroom condo in 1976. I lived in a town home in University Park that I had bought new in 1972 full-time 1972-1974 and weekends 1974-1976. Starting in 1974, I unsuccessfully tried to sell it. I rented it out 1976-1984 because I was unable to sell it for a fair price. I sold it in 1984.)

HARTFORD COURANT
— Despite a good law, age discrimination is still common – JOE CARBONE (DIERSEN: All my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes promote age discrimination a) because they want to get rid of those who are older than they are and/or b) because they want to curry favor with those who promote age discrimination.)
https://www.courant.com/opinion/op-ed/hc-op-carbone-age-discrimination-0324-20190324-5abuapcslbbdhm5xxbr64weo3i-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Research from AARP indicates that nearly two out of three workers age 45 and older have seen or experienced age discrimination on the job. While few doubt its existence, even skeptics acknowledge that it’s unlike the age discrimination of the past. This class of discrimination is subtle, seemingly invisible — but it has gone viral. There are scores of economists and political leaders who see it as the latest inevitable fallout from the Great Recession. To be fair, technology, for all its benefits, must share some blame. Search engines do the work for you, which sometimes produces hundreds of applicants, which totally overwhelms most human resources departments. Data make it painfully clear that the insidious practice of stereotyping based on age has become a cultural norm — and shamefully, it’s flourishing. When I turned 50, I was shocked to receive a greeting letter from AARP, realizing this marked a new stage in life. Now at age 50, individuals in the job market are subject to a value comparison with younger generations. A common first step in the applicant review process is to determine age without asking. Many times, an unsuspecting job applicant will list their graduation year, use a chronological resume or an email account format that becomes a giveaway for their age. Conventional wisdom in talent search is to go younger. Some employers, perhaps many, assume that millennials will have better tech skills and little to no interest in retirement or even health benefits. So, younger folks have the advantage. This is classic stereotyping, it’s unfair, it’s wrong and it will prove in short order to have been a strategic mistake.)

— Nearly 6-in-10 Republicans say a majority-minority population will weaken American values (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, Democrats shout at immigrants, at minorities, at females, at younger people, at poor people, and at everyone else that Republicans are White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things who should be gotten rid of once and for all.)
https://www.nbcnews.com/card/nearly-6-10-republicans-say-majority-minority-population-will-weaken-n986051
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The U.S. Census Bureau predicts that more than half of the population in America will be non-white by 2050. According to a new poll, a majority of Republicans — and about one in five Democrats — say that demographic milestone will weaken the country’s customs and values. The new poll from the Pew Research Center finds that, overall, about 30 percent of Americans say that having a majority of the population made up of black, Hispanics, Asians and other racial minorities would strengthen the nation’s cultural fabric, while 38 percent say it would weaken it. But those who view the expected majority-minority population in a negative light include 59 percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents, while just 13 percent say that demographic change will strengthen the country. Another 27 percent say the change will have little impact. That data point comes as the GOP becomes more and more identified with a Republican president who has referred to immigration at the southern border as an “invasion,” supported a ban on Muslims entering the United States during his campaign and reportedly used slurs to describe immigration from Haiti and some African countries. According to exit polls, only 13 percent of Trump’s voters in 2016 were non-white. Negative views of a more heavily non-white American population weren’t limited to Republicans. A smaller but significant 22 percent of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents said that a majority-minority would weaken American culture. Forty-two percent of Democrats said the change will strengthen the country, while another third say it will not have much of an impact. Race is also a factor. The Pew poll found that nearly half of whites — 46 percent — viewed a majority-minority in a negative light, while only 18 percent of black respondents and 25 percent of Hispanics agreed.)

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— Casten defends Dem House as re-election foes start to circle After three months in office, the DuPage Democrat says a lot more is being accomplished than the fight over people like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez would suggest. – GREG HINZ
https://www.chicagobusiness.com/greg-hinz-politics/casten-defends-dem-house-re-election-foes-start-circle
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The new congressmen declined to comment on talk that Evelyn Sanguinetti, who served as lieutenant governor in the Rauner administration, is preparing to run against him and has begun lining up support. GOP sources also report that former state Sen. Karen McConnaughay is mulling a race. “It’s a democracy. People who want to run should run,” Casten said. But while the 6th District race almost certainly will be a national target for both parties next year, Casten said he’s focusing on his own priorities, such as sponsoring with neighboring Democratic Rep. Lauren Underwood to give taxpayers more time, until May 20, to file their annual tax return with the Internal Revenue Service. Sponsors say the extension is needed since IRS agents were not available to answer questions about the new tax law during the 5-week government shut-down. The bill is likely to pass the House soon, Casten said, but faces an uphill fight in the Senate. In the longer term, Casten said he’s working on legislation to restore full deductibility of state and local taxes—the so-called SALT reduction. But some in his party want to go a little slower amidst fears of a soaring federal budget deficit, he added. And such a bill almost certainly would be vetoed by President Donald Trump.)
