— DuPage County Sheriff’s Office Launches Internal Probe After Staff Are Seen Dining Inside Restaurant, Against Governor’s Orders – Charlie De Mar
https://chicago.cbslocal.com/2020/10/27/dupage-county-sheriffs-indoor-dining-investigation/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: CBS 2 started asking questions, and it sparked an internal investigation within the DuPage County Sheriff’s Department. CBS 2’s Charlie De Mar has obtained the photos that have the department asking its own why they may have been eating inside a local restaurant – despite Gov. JB Pritzker’s orders not to. Photos taken in front of the Verdict Restaurant in Wheaton were sent to CBS 2 this week. They show a DuPage County Sheriff’s squad car, along with the department’s community service volunteer, parked in front of the restaurant. “We are right across from the courthouse, so the 99 percent of the people that are telling us to stay open work for the county,” said Verdict Restaurant owner Anna Sarantopoulos. Sarantopoulous chose to keep serving inside despite the governor’s order to stop, and she acknowledges the DuPage County Sheriff’s personnel sat inside this week. The department is only about a mile from the restaurant. “I can’t babysit a law enforcement officer. Do you know what I mean?” Sarantopoulos said. “They came in to support the Verdict. You know what I mean? I’m not the one to say, ‘Oh I can serve everybody else in the community but I can’t serve you.’ That’s not my place.” Late Monday, Sarantopoulous received a non-compliance notice from the DuPage County Health Department. She was threatened with a misdemeanor if the struggling restaurant continues to serve inside. “Our question is why us and not all the other the surrounding restaurants in the area?” Sarantopoulos said. “We’re trying to keep our staff. We’re trying to keep all our employees. We’re trying to pay the rent.” The DuPage County Sheriff’s Department said after we asked about the photos, an internal investigation started. “They have a boss. They have their own bosses. If the bosses wanted to tell them, ‘Do not go into any of the local restaurants,’ then they should have,” Sarantopoulos said. “Their boss should have reiterated and said, ‘Hey guys, be careful where you go eat.’ But not me. Not my place.” The DuPage County Health Department said they have contacted 13 restaurants in the area for indoor dining complaints.)

— Official On Why He Resigned From Federal Salary Council (DIERSEN: My Democrat superiors in the federal government demanded “political loyalty.” They got rid of their employees who were not Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran who they had not promoted to GS-13 (currently $101,176) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $119,559) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $140,634) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $170,800) by age 40. The planks in the Democrat Party platform that they demanded the most loyalty to were the ones that called for the federal government to give preference to its employees who were Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran.)
https://www.nprillinois.org/post/official-why-he-resigned-federal-salary-council#stream/0
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The federal government here in Washington and around the country is run by civil servants – people who provide consistency, deep expertise, even as administrations change. The idea is that politicians and their political appointees may come and go, but thousands of lawyers and scientists and other specialists – they stay put. Well, a new executive order issued by President Trump puts tens of thousands of those jobs at risk, prompting our next guest to resign in protest, writing that Trump’s order is, quote, “nothing more than a smokescreen for what is clearly an attempt to require the political loyalty of those who advise the president or, failing that, to enable their removal with little, if any, due process,” end quote. Those are the words of Ron Sanders. He resigned yesterday as chair of the Federal Salary Council, and he joins us now.)
