— ‘You cannot overfund this’: Milton Township officials debate mental health spending – Katlyn Smith
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20211116/you-cannot-overfund-this-milton-township-officials-debate-mental-health-spending
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Township trustees and Supervisor John Monino tentatively agreed to raise property taxes by roughly $800,000 for the 708 mental health board, named for a state House resolution and created by a referendum vote last spring. A final decision on the tax levy is expected on Dec. 14. . .But township trustees were wary of allocating more money for the first grant cycle, though Monino said the board’s request wasn’t “out of line.” “I think that $1 million is a bit much right now,” said Trustee Jeff Castle, adding that he wanted to see what the board will do next year with the township funding. Trustees gave preliminary approval to a tax increase that would cost the owner of a home with an assessed value of $128,444 — the average in Milton Township — an estimated $17.60. The township covers all or parts of Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, Carol Stream, Lombard, Glendale Heights and Winfield. “It strikes the right balance between fiscal responsibility and providing for the needs of the community,” Trustee Dan Milinko said of the lower amount.)

— FEBRUARY 27, 2017 FLASHBACK: 10 Times You Should Take a Pay Cut – SUZANNE LUCAS
(COMMENT: GAO audits IRS. When I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates did not want me to transfer, but failing that, they wanted me to transfer as a GS-4 Step 1 (currently $34,956/year) intern, that is, to suffer a $62,439/year (64%) pay cut in today’s dollars. They painted what GAO Analysts do as being a unique “trade or occupation.” They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. They viciously demonized, denigrated, and condemned the fact a) that I had worked for IRS as a Revenue Officer for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $85,935-$97,395/year, b) that much of what IRS Revenue Officers do is similar to what GAO Analysts do, c) that I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, d) that I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and e) that I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul. They were furious a) that I suffered a pay cut of only $20,361/year (21%) in today’s dollars to transfer and b) that I transferred with me almost 12 years of federal seniority, 30 days of unused vacation days, and 130 unused sick days.)

— COMMENT: If you are an LGBTQer, sooner or later, LGBTQ-activists will force you to destroy Republicans, and especially to destroy Republicans who are law enforcement officers, Trump supporters, conservative, patriotic, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-poor, gun owners, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. This year, LGBTQers, their operatives, and their dupes succeeded in stopping Republicans from helping sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parade and fireworks.

RASMUSSEN REPORTS
— Media Bias? Voter Distrust of Political News Grows
(COMMENT: Government and political reporters and journalists are either pro-conservative or anti-conservative. I am pro-conservative. Ever-increasingly, voters distrust government and political reporters and journalists who falsely deny that they are anti-conservative.)
https://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/general_politics/november_2021/media_bias_voter_distrust_of_political_news_grows
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Voters increasingly distrust reporting about politics, and most think the media are less aggressive in questioning President Joe Biden than they were with former President Donald Trump. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 53% of Likely U.S. Voters don’t trust the political news they’re getting. That’s up from 43% in July. Just 33% now say they trust the political news they’re getting, down from 37% in July. Another 14% are not sure.)

— Yellen admits labor participation ‘quite depressed’ compared to pre-pandemic levels. The Labor Department recorded 10.4 million job openings at the end of August. – Peter Aitken
(COMMENT: Very soon after my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old, it became obvious that I could never again get a job appropriate for someone with my education, work experience, professional certifications, and professional license. Before they forced me to retire, they a) gave me bad job assignments and unfair performance expectations and appraisals, b) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, c) did not promote me beyond GS-13, e) got rid of my mentor in 1987, f) kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and g) forced me to take a $20,361 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. Their adverse actions against made my education, work experience, professional certifications, and professional license worthless.)

I should write a book about those who have used my avoiding the draft against me the most.

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— In 2018, Pritzker spent $171 million of his personal fortune to unseat Rauner. Griffin donated $22.5 million to Rauner for that race, and millions more in his 2014 run for governor. In 2020, Griffin spent nearly $54 million to defeat the graduated income tax measure that Pritzker spent $58 million to support. Griffin’s spokesman confirmed his boss will bankroll a challenge to Pritzker. The four Republicans so far in the June 28 primary are state Sen. Darren Bailey, former state Sen. Paul Schimpf, businessman Gary Rabine, and venture capitalist Jesse Sullivan. The big question mark: Will Reps. Adam Kinzinger or Rodney Davis throw their hat in the ring? Either of them would likely get Griffin’s nod. Not on the list is Todd Ricketts. He just stepped down as Republican National Committee finance chair, but a source close to the Cubs co-owner said his exit from the RNC was long planned and that he is not making a play for the governor’s mansion. Democrats might like the idea of Griffin in the midterm mix. A race between Pritzker and anyone Griffin backs could energize the top of the ticket.

— Open book: Salary of Glenbard Township High School District 87 teacher Kathy Holmberg
(COMMENT: Since 1966, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that the federal government overpaid me. In today’s dollars, GAO paid me $132,845/year in 1997, IRS paid me $97,395/year in 1980, and the Post Office paid me $17.93/hour in 1969. In my defense, I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32. Since 1997, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that my Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension, currently $54,864/year, is too generous. In my defense, my CSRS pension is dramatically less because my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old and took many adverse actions against me before that. Further, my Social Security should be $6,570/year. But it is only $2,190/year because I get a CSRS pension.)
