SEATTLE TIMES
— To federal-government workers: Persist!  My message to my former colleagues in the federal government is: Don’t go. Instead, speak truth to power. You are needed now more than ever. – Frederick J. Kaplan  (DIERSEN: I stayed and persisted against political affiliation discrimination, against reverse discrimination, against age discrimination, and against retaliation for almost 30 years.  For doing that, I paid the following price:  My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, did not promote me beyond GS-13, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take an $18,847 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.  My Democrat IRS superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12, they disallowed my education deductions, and they disallowed my partial day per diem claims.  My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests.)
http://www.seattletimes.com/opinion/to-federal-government-workers-persist/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: These are the worst of times for federal-government employees. Several of the political appointees in the Trump administration are hostile to the missions of the departments and agencies they now lead. On top of that, the president’s hiring freeze will create imbalances in the federal workforce, requiring current employees to fill in random gaps. Many civil servants will simply quit in disgust. I hope they don’t. When Ronald Reagan became president in 1981, I was an attorney in the Seattle office of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. In his first year in office, President Ronald Reagan proceeded to remake our small agency, bringing in new leadership that openly disdained the civil-rights community and its agenda. Some of us joked bitterly that we were becoming the U.S. Commission against Civil Rights. Funding for the commission was drastically reduced. Discouraged, much of the staff, myself included, found employment elsewhere. Abandoning ship in such circumstances is understandable, but in retrospect I think a mistake. When those civil servants with the strongest commitment to their agency’s mission leave, who remains? Answer: Those less committed and less likely to confront their political masters. Sure, the most earnest among those who quit the government will carry on their cause from the outside. But ultimately civil rights, environmental protection, enforcement of labor standards cannot be fully realized without governmental action, that is the action of dedicated and experienced civil servants.)

BELLEVILLE NEWS DEMOCRAT
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: BND wants to tax retirement income. (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, as inflation is far higher than COLAs, the purchasing power of my Civil Service Retirement System pension and Social Security is eroded.)
http://www.bnd.com/opinion/editorials/article133440444.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: And he said this: “we cannot tax people’s retirement incomes.”  We say this: “Why not?”  The feds tax retirement income. Illinois is one of only three states that do not. Instead of some lukewarm reforms and taxing everybody in the neighborhood of 5 percent, what about just closing the loophole that lets retirees escape paying state income taxes? That would put another $2 billion in state coffers and use retirement income to generate a partial fix for our $130 billion state pension deficit. Yes, we can hear the AARP screaming now about balancing the state budget on the backs of those with fixed incomes. True dat. But we could build in some protections for lower retirement incomes, say taxable after $35,000. Illinois has 350,000 people drawing pensions, and of that more than 14,000 are drawing public pensions of greater than $100,000 per year. How fair is it to ask the average Illinois family to pay an additional $745 in state income taxes when so many are paying zip? Letting retirement income escape state taxes is truly a loophole that lawmakers in 1983 giddily and popularly passed, sort of like the free bus rides for seniors regardless of income. Pain is coming in Illinois. Taxing retirees and selling the Thompson Center in Chicago are tiny splinters to be removed before amputations are necessary.)

http://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/safest-cities-in-america-2017-413579093.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Lake in The Hills in Chicago’s northwest suburbs came in the No. 7 spot, with west suburban Bartlett ranking as the No. 9 safest city in the country, according to Neighborhood Scout. Bartlett reported only 26 violent crimes last year, which is 90 percent less than most cities in the U.S., according to the study’s data. A total of 219 crimes were reported in the city for 2016, Neighborhood Scout’s report shows, with 193 of them being non-violent and property related crimes. Crime rates were even lower for Lake in The Hills, according to Neighborhood Scout’s research, with a total of 148 crimes reported during the course of the year. Only 19 of those crimes were violent in nature, the report showed. Buffalo Grove (No. 12), Wheaton (No. 32), Hanover Park (No. 37), Huntley (No. 43), Hoffman Estates (No. 46) and Arlington Heights (No. 49) all also made the top 50.)

Peter Roskam has turned down a third request by the League of Women Voters to appear at a public forum in his suburban district, saying Friday that “large meetings tend to devolve into shouting matches.”  The Wheaton Republican was confronted last weekend by a few hundred protesters when he spoke at a Palatine Township Republican Organization meeting. He is one of several GOP congressman whose appearances have been met with angry protests fueled by Democrats and encouraged by social media. Roskam, in an interview Friday, said he prefers to limit constituent meetings to 25 people. “My experience is that, and we see this around the country, where these large meetings tend to devolve in shouting matches,” he said. “And they’re not helpful in public discourse and it seems like people leave more upset and more angry than when they came.” Asked why he spoke to the Palatine Township GOP event that was attended by about 100 people, Roskam said, “That’s not a forum where it’s conducive to shouting. I mean, these are not people that are coming to shout at a meeting.” A six-term House lawmaker, Roskam met Thursday for about an hour with 12 representatives of the nonpartisan League of Women Voters’ eight chapters in his district. He declined their bid to host him at a large public meeting, an effort league officials said was prompted by a “groundswell of public interest” in having him address voters. Gail Chaney Kalinich, a lawyer and official of the League of Women Voters of Glen Ellyn, said Roskam had agreed to the Thursday meeting as long as no recording devices were used and no members of the news media were on hand. Last October, she said, seven league chapters wanted to host Roskam at a candidate forum with his Democratic rival, but he said no. This month, eight leagues offered to host him on Feb. 23 — or another day that week — during the upcoming congressional recess. Again, the group was told no. On Thursday the leagues were open to any future date for a meeting but were refused, Kalinich said. “He stated that in his view, small meetings are more productive, that a conversation occurs that is not possible with a larger group and that he does not see a way for a large meeting at this point in time to result in anything more than a screaming match,” Kalinich said. Roskam on Friday defended his record in meeting with constituents. “I don’t think I am inaccessible,” he said. . .Kalinich acknowledged that Roskam meets with small groups of people and hosts “telephone town halls” when to her understanding about 20 people are allowed to speak or ask a question. “This isn’t a situation where he’s never communicating,” she said. “He’s communicates in ways that he finds useful and appropriate.”)

— Governor Announces New Efforts to Expand Diversity Programs at Tollway  (DIERSEN: Democrats use Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion to get rid of Republicans, and especially Republicans who are Protestant, conservative, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
http://www.satprnews.com/2017/02/10/governor-announces-new-efforts-to-expand-diversity-programs-at-tollway/
(FROM THE PRESS RELEASE: Governor Bruce Rauner joined Tollway Chairman Bob Schillerstrom, Board Directors Corey Brooks and Joe Gomez, and Executive Director Greg Bedalov today to highlight the Tollway’s efforts in strengthening diversity programs to build new opportunities and assistance for minorities, women and veterans. These efforts are breaking down barriers for businesses owned by minorities, women and veterans to compete for state contracts and for workers to qualify for good-paying construction and engineering jobs. „Our commitment to having a diverse workforce is leading to stable, good-paying contracts and job opportunities for minorities, women and veterans,” said Governor Bruce Rauner. „This is just the beginning. When these businesses succeed, we all succeed. I thank the Tollway for its commitment and dedication to ensuring all Illinoisans have access these economic opportunities.” The Tollway’s commitment to strengthening its diversity efforts puts the State of Illinois at the leading edge of diversity initiatives nationwide and serves as a blueprint for continuing to expand these programs in the future. In 2017, the Tollway is boosting its annual investment by more than 60 percent to fund programs that will increase participation by diverse businesses and workers in the Tollway’s 15 year $12 billion Move Illinois capital program.)

— A Low-Tech Guide to Becoming More Politically Active – BRIAN X. CHEN  (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents do NOT want you to “stay educated.” They want you to rely on them and only on them for all information.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/08/technology/personaltech/a-low-tech-guide-to-becoming-more-politically-active.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Stay Educated  The first challenge to getting more politically active is filtering out the torrent of political news to understand what you should care about. One high-level approach is to read the executive orders posted on the White House website. Beyond that, following your members of Congress is an important way to get deeper information, says Indivisible, an activism guide published by former congressional staff members. These are the people who introduce legislation, so keeping up with them is crucial if you want to be more politically active. After identifying your members of Congress, visit their websites and sign up to receive their newsletters and invitations to local events. You can create Google News alerts on certain lawmakers to keep up with their actions. Another approach is following the legislation you care about. Mr. Tauberer’s tool, GovTrack.us, lets you share your location, select an issue and view the bills that have been introduced. For example, Senator Dianne Feinstein of California introduced a bill to nullify the effect of the executive order on immigration. The site says there is a 7 percent chance of the bill being enacted. You could then contact Ms. Feinstein’s office to say you support or oppose her bill.)
— Federal Workers Get Guidance for Discussing the Politics of Trump – CHARLIE SAVAGE and JONATHAN WEISMAN  (DIERSEN: If I was still working for GAO, my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates would have killed me by now figuratively if not literally.  They would blame me for Trump’s election just like anti-Trumps blame me for Trump’s election in my precinct, in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/09/us/politics/donald-trump-administration.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: With the president already running for re-election, federal workers get guidance on office politics  The day President Trump took the oath of office, he filed paperwork to declare his candidacy for re-election, not so much because he was overeager but because money was still flowing into his campaign coffers, and any funds raised over $5,000 in 2017 would have had to be returned unless Mr. Trump registered as a candidate. And we know the president doesn’t like refunds. So what’s a federal employee to do with a boss who was technically running for office the day he stepped into the Oval Office? The Office of Special Counsel has answers. It has told federal employees that they may not express a view about whether Mr. Trump should be re-elected or defeated in 2020 while on duty or in the workplace, but it assured them that they were otherwise free to express support or disapproval about Mr. Trump and his policies. A new guidance document (https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3457194-2017-Hatch-Act-Trump-Guidance.html) was issued on Tuesday after the office said that it had received numerous inquiries about the impact of Mr. Trump’s filing for re-election. In contrast, former President Barack Obama filed such paperwork more than two years after his inauguration. The office — an independent agency that watchdogs civil-service protections — said that with the exception of expressly advocating Mr. Trump’s success or failure in the 2020 election, federal employees were still pretty free. “Because the 2020 election is still more than three years away, at this time not all expressions of support or opposition to President Trump constitute political activity for purposes of the Hatch Act,” which prohibits federal employees from politicking, it said. The office also developed a new answer to its list of frequently asked question (https://osc.gov/Pages/HatchAct-FAQs.aspx) that spells out with greater detail the scope and limits of federal employees’ right to express their views while they are at work or on duty. The new answer distinguished between expressing a view about current events, policy issues and matters of public interest — which federal employees are always free to do — and political activity, meaning advocating the success or failure of a particular political candidate or party.)

After I graduated, I lived with my mother and brother in Crete and helped pay the bills until September of 1972 when I bought a new town home in University Park.  When I bought the town home, I worked as a GS-9 (currently $54,864) IRS Revenue Officer in Harvey and I worked part-time at the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights.)

— Republicans deliver ethics complaint over CPS Rauner letter – Lauren FitzPatrick
http://chicago.suntimes.com/news/republicans-to-file-ethics-complaint-over-cps-rauner-letter/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Angry about an anti-Rauner letter that went home to Chicago Public School parents earlier this week, Chicago’s Republican Party announced an ethics complaint Wednesday against schools CEO Forrest Claypool. Chris Cleveland, head of the city’s Republican party, met with reporters Wednesday afternoon outside the office of the schools’ inspector general, where he dropped off his complaint. “It’s entirely improper to send political propaganda home with children,” said Cleveland, whose child attends Lincoln Elementary School in Lincoln Park. He was surrounded by sign-waving supporters — Republican activists, not CPS parents. “Earlier this week, Chicago Public Schools CEO Forrest Claypool used taxpayer resources to send a blatantly political letter home with students,” read a copy of Cleveland’s complaint to the schools’ watchdog. “Using public time and resources on such a letter should always be considered a misuse of taxpayer funds, but it is made even more egregious in light of CPS’s self-declared financial crisis.” Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Gov. Bruce Rauner have battled over Rauner’s veto of a bill that would have sent $215 million to CPS for teacher pensions. The governor nixed the measure in December right after Illinois Senate President John Cullerton said it wasn’t tied to overall pension reform. The money is now attached to the Illinois Senate’s grand bargain package, which also now includes a statewide fix to how the state doles out money to school districts. This week, Claypool and Gov. Bruce Rauner ramped up their rhetoric, each blaming the other for CPS’ budget woes. On Monday, Claypool likened Rauner to unpopular President Donald Trump, while announcing another $69 million in mid-year cuts he’s calling spending freezes at the state’s largest school district. He gave principals letters to distribute to parents and to Local School Council members the same day he told them that half of their discretionary spending for things like school supplies would be frozen indefinitely. “Governor Rauner, just like President Trump, has decided to attack those who need the most help. Governor Rauner and President Trump regularly attack Chicago because they hope to score political points. It is shameful,” read the first line of the parents’ communique. Tuesday, Rauner fired back via an open letter penned by his education secretary Beth Purvis who told Claypool to look in the mirror. She placed the blame for the financial mess squarely on CPS’ “continued mismanagement” and calling the latest cuts “curiously timed.” She called the spending freezes “a shock to all of us,” noting that CPS’ pension payment isn’t due until June. CPS’ code of ethics does specifically prohibit political campaigning, saying that, “No Official or Employee shall use his or her official Board position to engage in Political Activity or endorse a Candidate for Elective Office” and “No Official or Employee is permitted to use Board resources to perform any Political Activity. But as long as no staffer is coerced into the activity, “Nothing in this Section prohibits Political Activities that are otherwise appropriate for an Employee to engage in as part of his or her official employment duties,” the policy reads. Inspector general Nicholas Schuler confirmed he had received the complaint and then declined to comment on it. Not all principals actually printed the letter or emailed it home. CPS wouldn’t immediately say how much district money had been spent on its distribution.)

— Trump labor nominee said 40% of his workers were once undocumented – Chris Massie and Andrew Kaczynski
http://money.cnn.com/2017/02/08/news/kfile-labor-nominee-undocumented-workers/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The CKE restaurants executive made the comments, reviewed by CNN’s KFile, while speaking about how the E-Verify system–a database that enables businesses to check the citizenship status of their prospective employees–made it easier for his company to comply with the law. The news comes after Puzder admitted in a statement Tuesday to having employed an undocumented maid for years. Puzder has long been an advocate of comprehensive immigration reform to make it easier for U.S. employers to legally hire foreign workers. He has at times cited his own fast food workers as willing to work jobs that regular Americans won’t do.)

UIC NEWS CENTER
— Lincoln Laureate aspires to help others – Tim Goldrick (DIERSEN: What did you do when you were a full-time college student?  Instead of helping others, I selfishly worked part-time during the school years and I selfishly worked full-time during the summers.  Instead of using the money that I earned to help others, I selfishly bought two new cars (1968 Oldsmobile 442 and 1969 Dodge Charger SE) and I selfishly paid for all my college expenses at UIC and at NIU. Government is nasty.  Politics is nasty. If I sought a government office or a political office, by critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes would use the aforesaid against me.)
https://news.uic.edu/lincoln-laureate-aspires-to-help-others
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Rafid Rahman had a simple objective when he began classes at UIC four years ago. He just wanted to help others.
“One thing my parents have always told me is, ‘Wherever you go, at any stage of your life, you can always give back,’” said Rahman, a senior in anthropology and biology. “Even if it is really small, there’s something you can do to help your community. So I really wanted that to be the focus of any club I joined.” Fast-forward seven semesters, and the Springfield native is being honored for his strong commitment to service with the Lincoln Laureate, an award given to a senior at each undergraduate institution in Illinois. “I’m super honored,” he said. “I can’t say that enough. So many people that I know here have done great things and made UIC such a great campus, and I don’t think this campus would be the same without any of them. To be recognized out of those people and be the sole winner of this award, I’m truly honored.” In total, 56 students across the state named Lincoln Laureates, which takes into account public service and academics. Gov. Bruce Rauner joined the Lincoln Academy of Illinois in recognizing the students at the Old State Capitol Nov. 12. Rauner presented the students with a certificate of merit, a medal of Lincoln and a $1,000 check from the Lincoln Academy.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Obama saw low-wage workers as struggling moms. Trump may see them as suburban teens – Jim Puzzanghera  (DERSEN: Are/were you a low-wage suburban teen?  I was.  I did yard work, delivered newspapers, washed dishes, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, pumped gasoline, and delivered mail while my outstanding parents provided me with room and board.  With the money that I earned/saved, I bought a 1958 Chevy BelAir in 1964, a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966, a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, and a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968.  In addition, I paid for all my college expenses at UIC 1966-1968 and at NIU 1969-1970.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-cat-move-robert-reed-17-biz-20170206-column.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Already, DuPage County Board Chairman Dan Cronin has sent a letter to Caterpillar CEO James Umpleby touting his west suburban area and stressing a willingness to work with Cat’s relocation team. Although no tax breaks or deals are mentioned, Cronin’s letter stresses DuPage’s business base and that the ongoing Western Access O’Hare Project will provide “convenient, hassle-free access” to the airport. That’s true, but it won’t be for a while.)

— Trump’s Labor Dept. pick admits to employing undocumented worker  Puzder’s nomination hearings have been delayed
http://www.centralillinoisproud.com/news/trumps-labor-dept-pick-admits-to-employing-undocumented-worker/650571405
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Andrew Puzder, President Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Labor Department, employed an undocumented immigrant for years, the business magnate said in a statement Monday. It’s an admission that in the past has sunk other Cabinet secretary nominees. Puzder’s nomination has been stalled in Congress after a series of delayed hearings from the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions. Puzder, the head of the parent company that owns fast food companies Hardee’s and Carl’s Jr., said he and his wife have already paid back taxes on the employee. “My wife and I employed a housekeeper for a few years, during which I was unaware that she was not legally permitted to work in the US,” Puzder said in a statement. “When I learned of her status, we immediately ended her employment and offered her assistance in getting legal status.” He added: “We have fully paid back taxes to the IRS and the state of California and submitted all required paperwork.” The Huffington Post first reported the fact Puzder employed an undocumented worker.)

CHICAGO NOW
— The most famous federal appellate judge in the Country tells it like it is: Berkowitz w/Posner (DIERSEN: Have you ever argued a lawsuit before Judge Posner?  I did in 1996. SEE: David J. Diersen v. Chicago Car Exchange, Inc., 110 F.3d 481 (7th Cir. 1997), cert. denied, 118 S.Ct. 178 (1997) (http://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-7th-circuit/1385001.html) The lawsuit involved the Federal Odometer Act (FOA), the Department of Transportation’s (DOT) authority to grant exemptions from the FOA, and the sufficiency of material facts that would make a dealer suspicious of a car’s mileage. On September 16, 1996, I presented oral arguments to Chief Judge Posner and to Circuit Court Judges Coffey and Kanne.  On March 31, 1997, the Appellate Court agreed with me and ruled that DOT’s exemption for cars over 10 years old was invalid.)
