— State treasurer offers no-cosigner loans to Illinois students trying to pay for college. The Funding U Illinois No-Cosigner Loan program is open to Illinois residents attending public or private colleges and universities. The fixed annual percentage rate ranges from 7.99% to 9.49%, and the program won’t take a student’s credit score into account. If I had not had to work my way through college, my GPA word have been higher. Instead of studying, I spent far too many hours washing dishes and delivering mail.

— FRONT PAGE WITH PICTURE: Car condo project pitched for Lake Zurich would include clubhouse, luxury car dealership. I should write about Iron Gate Motor Condos in Naperville and its unit owners. I have attended many events there since its opening. I bought a small unit there in 2020. I sold it and bought a bigger unit in 2023. I sold it and bought a bigger unit this year. If you are interested in muscle cars, especially Corvettes, Chargers, Mustangs, and Thunderbirds, please let me know.
https://www.dailyherald.com/20250425/business/car-condo-project-pitched-for-lake-zurich-would-include-clubhouse-luxury-car-dealership/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The developer of the Sanctuary of Lake Zurich residential community wants to build a different kind of condo project in town. Luxury still would be the watchword but these units would be used to store classic and rare cars, some worth millions of dollars. And there is a ready market, says Romeo Kapudija. “It’s shocking to me how many rare cars are out there and how much they’re valued at but this is a very popular business model right now and type of development and they’re selling out across the country,” he explained to the Lake Zurich village board this week during a courtesy review of Luxe Corsa Car Condominiums. . .Kapudija said the market is hot for these types of developments, referencing Iron Gate in Naperville and another planned in Barrington as examples of their popularity. Iron Gate Motor Condos was among the first in Illinois to offer space exclusively for classic, collector or exotic vehicles. Ground was broken on 50 acres near Interstate 88 and Route 59 in 2014. “Proof of concept didn’t exist when I started,” said commercial builder, car enthusiast and founder Tom Burgess. “I had to go out of state and bring in people who could explain it” to city officials. Popularity fueled expansion to include 40,000 square feet of auto-related retail. “It turned into more than just the condos,” he said. “There’s a huge car community in Chicagoland. It’s deep and broad. It’s amazing.”)

— As IRS Collections Rise, Clear Start Tax Urges Taxpayers to Take Advantage of the Fresh Start Initiative. I worked for IRS’s Collection Division 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $99,069-$112,280/year. I should write about my critics/opponents who have used that against me the most. In my defense, I would not have become an IRS employee a) if Oldsmobile had not offered me a job in 1971, b) if my Firestone Store boss had not rudely fired me because I accepted that offer, c) if Oldsmobile had not withdrawn its job offer saying it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint, and d) if I didn’t have to have a job.

(COMMENT: With IRS Enforcement Increasing in 2025, Clear Start Tax Reminds Americans They Still Have Time to Resolve Back Taxes Through Relief Programs. As the IRS steps up its collection efforts in 2024, more Americans are receiving notices, facing wage garnishments, or dealing with tax liens. In response, Clear Start Tax is urging taxpayers with unresolved IRS debt to act quickly and explore relief options under the IRS Fresh Start Initiative, a program designed to help individuals and businesses resolve back taxes affordably. The IRS recently announced renewed funding and a more aggressive stance on collections, which means taxpayers who have ignored or delayed addressing their debt could face heavier enforcement actions in the months ahead. The Urgency of Exploring Debt Resolution Programs  As IRS collection efforts intensify, it’s critical for taxpayers with unresolved debt to act before enforcement escalates. The IRS Fresh Start Initiative offers structured programs designed to ease that burden, including Offer in Compromise, Installment Agreements, and Currently Not Collectible (CNC) status. These options can reduce penalties, halt wage garnishments or levies, and in many cases, allow taxpayers to resolve their debt for significantly less than the full amount owed.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Donald Trump signed a groundbreaking executive order Thursday eliminating the use of disparate impact theory by the feds. The order “restores the true promise of the Civil Rights Movement—a system that does not differentiate between Americans based on race and where success is determined by individual merit, free from discriminatory practices that prioritize group outcomes over personal achievement.” Disparate impact theory says that any disparity must be the result of discrimination, bigotry, and racism of some kind or another. So for example, if more white people than non-white people pass a firefighter’s exam, then it must be because of racism. Or if more non-white people than white people are pulled over for speeding, that too must be the result of racism and bigotry.)

FEDERAL NEWS NETWORK
— Probationary employees face stricter review process under new executive order. If my Democrat GAO superiors could have used probationary procedures to get rid of me, they would have. My doing the following after I transferred from IRS to GAO in early 1980 frustrated their efforts to get rid of me. I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. I became a licensed CPA in 1981.
https://federalnewsnetwork.com/workforce/2025/04/probationary-employees-face-stricter-review-process-under-new-executive-order/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Probationary employees will now have an additional hurdle to clear before they can solidify their federal employment, according to an executive order President Donald Trump signed Thursday evening. Trump’s new order calls for the creation of “Civil Service Rule XI,” which will require agencies to review and actively sign off on probationary workers’ continued employment before they can be moved out of a probationary period. Federal employees are put into probationary periods when they first enter the civil service, or when they begin a new position, for example after getting a promotion. Once a probationary period ends — usually after one or two years of federal service — employees will automatically transition out of probationary status. “Instead of these employees becoming tenured civil servants by default, Rule XI requires agencies to affirmatively certify that finalizing their appointment after their probationary or trial period concludes advances the public interest,” the White House wrote Thursday in a fact sheet detailing the intentions of the executive order. Under current federal regulations, agencies can only remove probationary employees for issues with performance or conduct. Those rules around probationary periods spurred litigation involving the recent mass terminations of tens of thousands of probationary employees. Earlier this month, the Supreme Court blocked an order for the Trump administration to reinstate the probationary employees. Trump’s new executive order, however, adds a new reason that probationary employees can be removed from their jobs. Under the new “Civil Service Rule XI,” agencies can also determine whether a probationary employee should remain in their job based on agency needs and the interest of the public. “It alters the reason for letting a probationer go to include the generic needs and interests of the agency, as opposed to the individual’s performance or conduct,” Debra D’Agostino, an attorney and partner at Federal Practice Group, said in an interview. “It adds this generic reason where the agency can decide that it’s not in the needs or interest of the agency to keep this person.” “Usually, if someone’s not going to satisfy their probation, it’s going to be because of performance or conduct,” Kevin Owen, a partner at Gilbert Employment Law, added. “If the administration is going to start interjecting some sort of ideological component, we’re going to start again sliding into some level of a spoils system here.”)

— Class Matters Most: So Why Do Foundations Focus More on Race? What class were you born into? Neither of my parents attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. He never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars and died suddenly when he was 47 and I was 21. My mother never attended high school. I had to work my way through college.
