CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— CPD must do better job of recruiting, hold more frequent exams to counter tidal wave of retirements, mayor says. Law enforcement is ‘not viewed in the most positive light,’ the mayor said. ‘It won’t change, and it won’t get better if we don’t have diverse people in our neighborhoods who look like the people in the neighborhoods they are sworn to serve and protect.’ – Fran Spielman (DIERSEN: GAO hired me in 1980 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. IRS hired me in 1971 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. The Post Office hired me in 1966 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job.)

— CPS laying off 443 teachers and support staff. CTU vows to fight cuts. – KAREN ANN CULLOTTA (DIERSEN: GAO did not unionized until 2007. During the mid-1990s, Republicans cut GAO’s budget dramatically. The Democrats who ran GAO used those cuts to get rid of their employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who they had not promoted to GS-13 (currently $102,188) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $120,755) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $142,041) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $172,500) by age 40. Extremely few GAO employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— The Illinois Republican Party feted RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel at the venerable Sangamo Club in Springfield on Monday for a fundraiser with Reps. Rodney Davis and Darin LaHood. The big applause of the event came when McDaniel took a “Fire Pritzker” bumper sticker and told a staffer to make sure to get one for her office. Also spotted: Republican gubernatorial candidate Gary Rabine, Senate Minority Leader Dan McConchie, and state Reps. Mike Murphy and Dan Caulkins. . .Republican Rep. Deanne Mazzochi (47th) has donated $150,000 to her campaign fund, according to the State Board of Elections. That doesn’t exceed the contribution caps since those limits don’t start until 12 months before an election. And since the 2022 primary is June 28, she’s all clear with the big gift. – SHIA KAPOS
