POLITICO ILLINOIS
— HRO upheaval and a GOP feud – Shia Kapos (DIERSEN: Disgustingly, outrageously, tragically, and ever-increasingly, Illinois Republicans first learn from Democrat news sources like Capitol Fax and Politico Illinois what Illinois Republican Party (IRP) leaders are saying and doing. Far too often, it looks like IRP leaders are taking direction from Democrats and Democrat plants, Libertarians and Libertarian plants, Greens and Green plants, and RINOs who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout to keep Illinois Republicans including Dave Diersen and his GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails “out of the loop.”) 
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2019/04/22/hro-upheaval-and-a-gop-feud-newman-hits-a-roadblock-meister-wants-a-rematch-427112
(FROM THE ARTICLE: After losing six House seats in the 2018 general election, the House Republican Organization is reorganizing its leadership team and ramping up fundraising. Political Director Joe Woodward, a confidante and friend to House GOP Leader Jim Durkin, is out, according to a memo Durkin and new HRO Chair Tony McCombie sent Saturday to caucus members and obtained by POLITICO. Woodward is moving to the private sector, and HRO has hired Jayme Odom with the new title: executive director. “We’re bringing in additional fundraisers and plan to be more aggressive with members on their own fundraising with the organization,” Durkin told POLITICO. The changes come after re-evaluating the 2018 losses. “When you have a multi-billionaire writing checks, it’s difficult,” Durkin said, referring, of course, to Gov. J.B. Pritzker‘s backing of so many Dem candidates. “We have to be more self-sufficient.” GOP Rep. Mark Batinick (97th) says the GOP caucus has done “much introspection” on its campaign strategy leading up to 2020. “Only through a thorough self-examination can we fully improve. Not only is it OK to question everything, it’s what any organization should do from time to time,” he told POLITICO. Republican campaign coffers remain a fraction of their Democratic counterparts. The HRO, which has a fundraiser planned April 29, has $38,000 cash on hand, compared to the Democratic Majority’s $3.4 million. Durkin, meanwhile, has $900,000 on hand while House Speaker Mike Madigan sits on $7.4 million. Odom, HRO’s new executive director, meanwhile, is a familiar player in Illinois politics. She previously was chief of staff for the Illinois Lottery during Gov. Bruce Rauner’s administration. During that time, a state investigation found Odom failed to disclose her connection to lobbyists for a company vying for a lucrative lottery contract. Odom then left for Ohio, where she helped manage Jim Renacci’s unsuccessful U.S. Senate campaign last year. Odom also worked as executive director for the Illinois Republican Party from 2013-2015. GOP drama part 2: Some GOP lawmakers are criticizing that political operative David Walsh was paid for consulting for Citizens for Durkin and for Majority Strategies — a national firm that also does political mailings for the HRO. The payments to Walsh by Majority Strategies were not publicly disclosed, according to a WCIA report last week. Durkin says Walsh was paid out of his campaign fund — not by HRO — and that Walsh’s work with Majority Strategies “is independent” of any work with HRO. One downstate Republican, per an interview with POLITICO, is hoping for an investigation to clear up the murkiness. And state Rep. Dave McSweeney, also in an interview, accused Durkin of paying “his buddy” Walsh instead of putting money toward House races. He even called on Durkin to step down. GOP drama part 3: Yep, there’s a feud between McSweeney and Durkin that goes beyond campaign cash. Last week, the House GOP leader pulled McSweeney’s communications aide after McSweeney spoke out against Rep. Steve Reick for a racially tinged comment about a bill requiring company boards to diversify. Reick later apologized. McSweeney paid to promote a tweet condemning Reick’s comment. In a statement to POLITICO, Durkin said: “This is an internal caucus matter. I will continue working to move the Republican Party and House Republican caucus forward in Illinois but will not tolerate public attacks on fellow members.”)

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— The Case Against Early Retirement Many people dream of leaving the office as soon as they can. But the evidence suggests a lot of downsides. It may be time to rethink those dreams. – Richard W. Johnson (DIERSEN: I should write a book about early retirement.)
https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-case-against-early-retirement-11555899000
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Most people look forward to retirement, a reward for decades of hard work. But like many other pleasures, it may be bad for your health. It may even kill you. How can that be? How can working longer be good for your health? After all, many people dream of—and plan for—retiring early. Strenuous, stressful work can wear people down and damage their health. On the other hand, retirees can relax and reinvigorate themselves. They have time to follow their passions and pursue activities that enrich their lives. But in our rush to leave the office, we don’t realize that retirement also has a downside, especially over the long term. Many retirees indulge in unhealthy behaviors. They become sedentary and watch too much television. They eat too much. They drink too much. They smoke too much. Without the purpose of fulfilling work, retirees can feel adrift and become depressed. Without the camaraderie of their co-workers, retirees risk becoming socially isolated. Without the intellectual stimulation that work can provide, retirement can accelerate cognitive decline.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: But retirees’ attorney Clint Krislov argued that an even more desperate financial crunch is impacting 10,000 retirees who started working for the city prior to April 1, 1986 and, therefore, are not eligible for Medicare. “People are being charged $2,000 individually a month, $4,000 for a couple, almost $6,000 for a family. … That’s a lot of money, even for somebody with a $100,000 pension,” Krislov said. “These people don’t deserve this.

Legislators are combating age discrimination, including a recent proposal called the Protecting Older Workers Against Discrimination Act, and companies are under fire for certain hiring practices, such as targeting younger applicants through social media. Older workers are stereotyped as lacking a strong work ethic, counting down the days to retirement and a disinterest in learning new skills to stay competitive in the workforce, and they also struggle with negative comments about their age from colleagues or are overlooked for promotions.)DAILY BEAST

— Lightfoot: ‘I Have The Right Experience To Lift This City Up And Forward’ – Derrick Blakley (DIERSEN: My Democrat GAO superiors knew that I had the right experience to audit IRS’s Collection Division, but completely wasted that experience. GAO audits IRS. I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980 after having worked for IRS’s Collection Division for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $81,071-$91,880. I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and became a licensed CPA in 1981. All during the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, my Democrat GAO superiors refused to assign me to audits of IRS’s Collection Division.)
