— Shipping delays mounting as USPS struggles with ‘historic’ holiday volume. – LAUREN ZUMBACH (DIERSEN: Because of complaints about slow delivery of Christmas mail in 1965, the Democrats who ran the Post Office got a budget increase that resulted in the Democrats who ran the Park Forest Post Office hiring me in November of 1966. They could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. I worked a) part-time while I was a full-time student at UIC 1966-1968 and at NIU in 1969 and b) full-time during the summers of 1967, 1968 and 1969. They outrageously succeeded in forcing me to resign in September of 1969 by falsely claiming that I would not be available to work enough part-time hours. I was available to work all Mondays, all Fridays, all Saturdays, all Sundays, all holidays, and all days that NIU was not in session. My Democrat Park Forest Post Office supervisor made it clear that he strongly disapproved of my following demographics: Republican, conservative, Missouri Synod Lutheran, 100% German American, union member, non-poor, college student, draft avoider, Crete resident since 1948, owner of a 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint, then a 1968 Oldsmobile 442, and then a 1969 Dodge Charger SE, and my ancestors had been in America since 1844.)

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— How 2020 ruptured the link between the office and home. We’ve been cut loose from commuting for 10 months. Now comes the question: What if where we work no longer had anything to do with where we live? (DIERSEN: I worked in the Loop in 1971 and then 1973-1997 and my wife worked in the Loop 1968-1992. I took classes in downtown Chicago 1972-1980 and 1992-1997 and my wife took classes in the Loop 1978-1986. In 1984, we paid a big premium for the lot that we had our built on in Wheaton because we could walk to/from the Wheaton train station. In 1978 we paid a big premium for a home in Wheaton because we could walk to/from the College Avenue train station. In 1974 and 1976, I paid premiums for condos in downtown Chicago because I could walk to/from work and classes. In 1972, I bought a new town home in University Park in part because it was a relatively easy commute to my job in Harvey.)

My ancestors on my father’s side have lived in Crete since they homesteaded a farm there in 1854. I lived with my parents in a second floor apartment atop my grandfather’s hardware store on the Dixie Highway in downtown Crete 1948-1954. My great great grandfather bought land on the Dixie Highway immediately north of downtown Crete in 1864. His son had one of Crete’s most historic homes built on that land.

https://news.wttw.com/2020/12/09/what-happens-when-legislators-speak-out-against-speaker-madigan
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Ramifications, she said, that included getting cut off from traditional large Democratic donors for fundraising and being sent a novice campaign worker from the Democratic Party of Illinois versus a seasoned staffer. She said DPI, which Madigan also controls, didn’t have conversations with her about these changes. And she said DPI slow-walked polling in her district and a refusal by the party to allow her to ask a poll question about Madigan. “It’s a very fine line, right? Because you don’t want anything to look retaliatory,” she said. She said she ended up doing her own poll, outside of DPI. It showed that Madigan was less popular in her west suburban district than President Donald Trump. Costa Howard said she did not take money directly from Madigan, though as a Democrat she did accept funding from Democratic committees under his auspices.)

— GOP searching for new leader in Illinois as party sets sights on governor’s race in 2022 – Tahman Bradley
https://wgntv.com/news/politics/gop-searching-for-new-leader-in-illinois-as-party-sets-sights-on-governors-race-in-2022/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Sources said the early top contender is Mark Shaw of Lake County, who two years ago wanted to take on Schneider but backed down when offered a new position as co-chairman for Conservative and Grassroots Outreach. “I think it would be somebody who has good communication skills, first of all. But also a strong track record of fundraising for political activities as well as experience running campaigns,” said Richard Porter, a member of the Republican National Committee representing Illinois. Schneider’s departure caught some party insiders like House GOP leader Jim Durkin by surprise. “I think that there was a conflict – as there always is – between the chairman and party but I think Tim made a decision on his own,” Durkin said. The state party is touting success in last month’s election, Governor JB Pritzker’s graduated income tax was defeated, a Democratic Supreme Court justice lost his retention contest and the party picked up a House seat. “We have to get a new chairman in, one who’s going to be a person that appeals to not only conservatives but moderates, independents and also disenfranchised Democrats,” Durkin said.)

https://www.chicagotribune.com/nation-world/ct-nw-nyt-2020-election-swings-20201207-fkugcls5rnc6vcczblux4rgty4-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Education Among metropolitan areas with a population over 250,000, three Colorado metros — fast-growing Colorado Springs, Denver and Fort Collins — topped the list for swings against Trump in two-party vote share. Colorado has one of the nation’s highest rates of people with a four-year college degree, and this year it solidified its status as a blue state. Colorado’s shift against Trump was 8.6 points, second only to Vermont’s 9 points. A part of conservative-leaning Kentucky posted one of the bigger anti-Trump shifts. The Lexington-Fayette, Kentucky, metropolitan area, which flipped from red to blue and is home to the University of Kentucky, has the highest percentage of college graduates in the region and is in the top fifth of metros for college attainment. And what about the big swing in the Huntsville area in deep-red Alabama? Fast-growing places with brighter economic prospects — correlated with a higher number of people with college degrees and more jobs in professional, tech and creative fields — moved toward Biden. A highly educated workforce in Huntsville, first put to use in industries like aerospace, has become attractive to other businesses in recent years. Suburban areas in Nebraska swung significantly toward Biden. Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District, which includes well-educated Omaha, contributed one electoral vote to Biden’s tally. It “swung against Trump more than any swing state,” according to Dave Wasserman of the Cook Political Report. The swing was 8.8 points, as the district flipped from red to blue.)

— Tell Congress to Block Executive Order Politicizing Federal Jobs (DIERSEN: Democrats run the federal government.

(FROM THE ALERT: The President signed Executive Order (EO) 13957 on October 21, which threatens the integrity of a professional, nonpartisan civil service – a standard since the late 1800s. The EO does so by creating a broad new exception, Schedule F, to competitive civil service requirements that could convert upwards of hundreds of thousands of civil service positions into essentially political appointments. Civil service rules ensure federal employees are hired or fired based on their competence for the job, or lack thereof, and not their political connections, or lack thereof. The rules protect employees from being removed for choosing adherence to the Constitution, laws and professional standards over politically motivated actions or perceived allegiance to a political party. A competitive, merit-based civil service provides continuity through changing administrations, preserves institutional knowledge and expertise within the federal government, and safeguards the rule of law.)
