— CPS retirement incentive plan fails to draw desired number of participants – Juan Perez Jr.  (DIERSEN: GAO’s early retirement “offer” ended September 30, 1997.  My Democrat GAO superiors thought that I would take their “offer” because they had ranked me in the lower half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes since 1989, they had not promoted me beyond GS-13, they had kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 years (1986-1988) of the almost 18 years that I had worked for GAO, and they had forced me to take an $18,847 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.  As they came to realize that I was not going to take their “offer,” they increasingly made it clear that they would kill me figuratively, if not literally, if I did not take their “offer.”)

http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20170412/entlife/304129823/
(FROM THJE ARTICLE: Embattled Fox News Channel host Bill O’Reilly, who announced he was going on vacation starting Wednesday and returning April 24, hasn’t taken off this much time consecutively in March or April for at least 10 years, an examination of his show’s transcripts revealed. O’Reilly said he likes to take vacation around this time and that he booked this year’s break months ago. That would appear to stave off stories that the cable host had been pressured to make himself scarce for a while. His show has seen an advertiser exodus since reports emerged of settlements reached with five women to keep quiet about harassment accusations.)

http://chicago.suntimes.com/news/legislators-seek-feedback-on-legalizing-recreational-marijuana/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The first hearing is scheduled for next Wednesday, April 19 at 10 a.m. at the Bilandic Building. A second forum will be held that night at a location to be announced, likely in one of their districts.)

DAILY HERALD
— Businesses urge DuPage County to lift video gambling ban – Robert Sanchez  (DIERSEN: At DuPage County’s April 11, 2017 board meeting, four spoke in favor keeping ban: Anita Bedell, Kathy Gilroy, Bill Bryan, and myself.  In addition, I urged the board to pass a resolution in opposition to legalizing the sale of marijuana in Illinois for recreational use – SB 316 and HB 2353.)
http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20170412/news/170419598/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Meanwhile, several gambling opponents attended Tuesday’s county board meeting to urge officials to leave the ban in place. “This board has no duty to level the playing field for bars,” said Kathy Gilroy, an anti-gambling advocate from Villa Park. “This board has a duty to the welfare of county residents — not just liquor licensees desiring to make money from customers who lose their money in a slot machine.” Counties and municipalities that allow video gambling receive 5 percent of each machine’s profit. The state takes 25 percent, while establishment owners and the terminal operators evenly split the rest. County board member Robert Larsen said he believes it would be difficult to repeal DuPage’s ban. “I understand some private entities like the VFWs would like to have the revenue,” Larsen said. “But where that money comes from tends to be from folks who can least afford it. I just don’t think it’s a good way to raise money for these organizations.”)

https://www.dnainfo.com/chicago/20170412/edgewater/legal-weed-hearing-set-for-next-week-boosted-as-help-for-state-budget-woes
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The first hearing on the topic is at noon April 19 in the Michael A. Bilandic Building, 160 N. LaSalle St. Gov. Bruce Rauner said the idea needed more study. “I think recreational marijuana is a very, very difficult subject,” Rauner said Tuesday during an appearance in Rock Island, saying Illinois should look at the impact that legalizing marijuana has had on the states that have already decriminalized the drug. “I am not in support of Illinois going there until we study the ramifications of what’s happening in other states,” Rauner said, according to WQAD-TV.)

http://abc7chicago.com/education/new-york-makes-college-tuition-free—with-big-string-attached/1856637/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: There’s a big string attached to New York’s free middle-class college tuition initiative: Students must stay in the state after graduation or else pay back the benefit. Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Monday that the requirement was added to protect the state’s investment in a student’s education by ensuring they don’t take advantage of free tuition and then leave New York. The tuition initiative, which Cuomo said is a national model, covers state college or university tuition for in-state students from families earning $125,000 or less. Students must remain in New York for as many years as they received the benefit. They must repay the money as a loan if they take a job in another state.)

They were pit against one another based on what religion they practiced, where they lived, and what language they spoke. The British kept Indians jobless, uneducated, and without medical services. This was the world my dad grew up in, and it’s the world being created by the broken policies of Donald Trump and Bruce Rauner. It’s been 21 months and counting without a budget because Rauner wants there to be no budget. In his race to destroy the social safety net, he wants the chaos that comes from slashing school funding, closing health clinics, and encouraging companies to leave the state. I am running for governor because I’m tired of Bruce Rauner and his billionaire friends being the happiest they’ve ever been as millions of families suffer from lack of jobs, health care, and educational opportunities. I am running because I want to ensure my daughter doesn’t grow up in the kind of world that oppressed my dad.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: I recently hosted a party at my house and invited some co-workers. My boss overheard us talking and I felt bad, so I invited her to come over, too. When she arrived, she was taken aback by my house. My wife and I inherited some money and have invested wisely. Thus, we are pretty financially successful. Since the event, she has made comments daily at work about my wealth and how I don’t need my job. It’s embarrassing and annoying. She also excluded me from a new project meeting. When I asked why, she said she was putting some other people on it to gain experience. I’m starting to think she is jealous and trying to push me out. I like this job and my co-workers. It’s true, I don’t need this job, but I like working. Why is she acting like this? It’s as though I broke an unwritten rule.)

They stressed to her a) that since 1988, I had been an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged GAO with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, b) that I had always complained about patronage, political affiliation discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, c) that I had not helped GAO get rid of its employees who were Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran, d) that I had not made GS-13 (currently $94,610) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $111,801) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $131,508) by age 35, or Senior Executive Service (currently $161,900) by age 40, e) that she was younger than me, f) that she was a female and that I was a male, g) that she Jewish and I was Missouri Synod Lutheran, h) that she was 100% Russian-American and that I was 100% German American, I) that my ancestor had been in America much longer than her ancestors, J) that she had a degree from an Ivy League university and that I did not, k) that she was a liberal Democrat and that I was a conservative Republican, l) that my wife and I could “afford” to lose in today’s dollars $72,135/year income ($122,991 salary minus $50,856 pension), and m) that my subordinates who were Democrat, minority, female, and/or younger than me talked and acted like they would leave GAO if GAO did not get rid of me.)

DAILY HERALD
— Growing ranks in DuPage – Kerry Lester  (DIERSEN: Those who want to destroy the DuPage County Republican Central Committee discourage it from having Lincoln Day Dinners.)
http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20170410/news/170419973/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: DuPage County Democrats Chairman Bob Peickert says he expects more than 800 attendees at the party’s annual gala April 23 in Lombard, twice the usual number. The event will feature Democratic National Committee Deputy Chair Keith Ellison and Illinois gubernatorial candidates Chris Kennedy of Kenilworth, Ameya Pawar of Chicago and J.B. Pritzker of Chicago, along with more than two dozen other state and congressional officials. Peickert, of Elmhurst, sees it as one of several signs the formerly rock-ribbed Republican territory is changing. In January, the county party held an informal meeting for local voters and 550 people showed up — 400 of them new to the organization. In November, Hillary Clinton won the county by 14 points over President Donald Trump. Gala tickets are at dupagedemocratsgala.com.)
— Big money in Bolingbrook – Kerry Lester
http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20170410/news/170419973/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Major political donors swept in to help candidates in the Bolingbrook mayor’s race in the final weeks of the campaign, filings with the Illinois State Board of Elections show. Republican businessman Ron Gidwitz’ super PAC, the Economic Freedom Alliance, spent more than $36,512 to support 31-year Bolingbrook Mayor Roger Claar. He also spent more than $61,024 opposing challenger Jackie Traynere’s campaign. Traynere got some help from big name Democrats, including Democratic candidate Pritzker, who wrote her a $2,500 check. AFSME gave her campaign $5,000 and the American Federation of Teachers contributed $1,500. Claar had hosted a Trump fundraiser, angering some and sparking the high-profile battle.)

DOWNERS GROVE PATCH
— Rauner’s Anti-Hate Crime Bill Endorsed by Downers Grove Representative David Olsen  The anti-hate crime bill is set to be considered by the full Illinois House of Representatives this month. – Lisa Marie Farver  (DIERSEN: From what I see, ever-increasingly, anti-Trumps promote hatred against individuals, organizations, companies, governments, and countries that are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, draft avoiders (except Bill Clinton), German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America longer than their ancestors.)
https://patch.com/illinois/downersgrove/rauner-s-anti-hate-crime-bill-endorsed-downers-grove-representative
(FROM THE ARTICLE: State Representative David S. Olsen (R, Downers Grove) for Bruce Rauner’s anti-hate crime bill recently filed in Springfield. The anti-hate crime bill, HB 2390, aims to change sentencing for those who commit hate crimes in Illinois. Rauner announced his plans for the new hate crime legislation in early March in response to the anti-Semitic crimes that have increased both locally and nationally. In a March 8 press release, he said, “We cannot stay silent on hate. We cannot stay silent when families in our community are in danger. The promise of ‘Never Again’ requires us to take action.” Rep. Olsen recently echoed those words in a statement of his own, “Those who would attack others, verbally or physically, based on their race, color, creed, religion or other perceived classification, need to know their behavior will not be tolerated and that the consequences for such actions will be severe.”)

My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always downplayed, dismissed, and belittled the fact that I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 when I was 30 years old.  They also downplay, dismiss, and belittle the fact that I became a licensed CPA in 1981, that I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and that I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, a Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, a Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and a Forensic Accountant in 1997.

https://www.dallasnews.com/news/politics/2017/04/06/texas-rep-mike-conaway-take-house-probe-russian-meddling
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “It is responsibility I take with the utmost seriousness. My profession as a CPA and auditor has taught me to be objective and methodical, and that is how I intend to help lead this investigation,” Conaway said in a written statement expressing confidence that he can conduct an “effective, bipartisan investigation” with the panel’s top Democrat, Rep. Adam Schiff of California – an outspoken critic of Nunes in recent weeks. Rep. Andre Carson, a Democrat on the Intelligence panel, called Conaway “solid.” Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson, a Dallas Democrat, said she has “great respect for Conaway so I hope he’ll do a great job. Texas Republicans had nothing but praise. “He’s smart, he’s got great integrity, he’s honest. He’ll do a great job,” said Arlington Rep. Joe Barton, a Republican. He refrained from weighing in on Nunes’ decision to step down but said, “Conaway will do it right.” Conaway is one of the few CPAs in Congress. Before his election in 2004, one of his clients was the oil firm owned by future president George W. Bush. When House Republicans needed to clean up a fund-raising scandal in 2008, they turned to Conaway. Corpus Christi Rep. Blake Farenthold, a Republican, called him “immensely qualified” and an “honorable human being….I can’t think of anybody better to do it.” Austin Rep. Roger Williams, a Republican, called him a friend who will do a “great job.”)

Northbrook-based insurer Allstate, automakers Hyundai and BMW, financial firm T. Rowe Price, drugmaker GlaxoSmithKline and online marketing firm Constant Contact said Tuesday that they have joined Mercedes-Benz in pulling their ads from the show. The moves come after a weekend report in The New York Times that O’Reilly and his employer paid five women $13 million to settle harassment or other allegations of inappropriate conduct by Fox’s star.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/commentary/ct-democrats-immigration-trump-muslim-ban-20170320-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: If Democrats want to win again, they must do one of two things: Attract back the Obama-Trump voter or win over the Romney-non-Trump voter. Their protestations against border security and the travel ban are not likely to do either. Surveys show that Obama-Trump blue-collar voters like Trump’s anti-immigration stance. These voters are likely to have felt competition from immigrants legal and illegal, and they want that competition to stop. Even though many of these voters agree with Democrats on traditional economic issues like taxes and entitlement spending, their primary concern now is to protect their livelihoods and standard of living by reducing competition from foreigners living at home and abroad. . .Democrats are either unwilling to see the truth or unable to acknowledge it: They cannot win back the presidency without attracting people who disagree with some of their views. Doing that does not mean singing the same old songs louder and more clearly.)

They demonize, denigrate, and condemn what I do as your GOPUSA Illinois Editor, what I do as a Republican Precinct Committeeman, and what I did as the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman, a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member, the Milton Township Republican Central Committee webmaster, an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member, an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member, a GAO employee, an IRS employee, etc.)

GOVERNING
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Biss wants Illinois to be a “beacon” against Trump. Who wants your precinct, your municipality, your township/ward, and/or your county to be a beacon against Trump? The fewer votes that Trump got in your precinct, in your municipality, in your township/ward, and/or in your county, the more likely that the anti-Trumps will succeed. The weaker that the Republican Party is in your township/ward and/or in your county, the more likely that the anti-Trumps will succeed.
