DAILY HERALD
— Facing a $12.4 million projected budget deficit in the coming school year, Naperville Unit District 203 this week notified teachers of pending staff reductions. The school board is expected to vote on the honorable dismissal of 38 educators at Monday’s meeting. The district notified those teachers of their pending dismissal this week. DD: The Democrats who ran GAO used Gingrich budget cuts to get rid of their employees like me who were Republican, White, male, older, and/or nonveteran. They forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997 and gave my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate who had less work experience than I had, had less education than I had, had one professional certification while I had six, and had no professional license like the one I had.

— The Milton Township Highway Department has a proposed levy on the March 17, 2026 ballot for a 3.5%, $2.2 million levy for the purposes of constructing an additional building for truck storage. That would include new offices, a lunchroom and conference room. Highway commission management have stated that the existing truck storage building will remain to be used for “dry storage.” The other two existing buildings that house equipment maintenance, offices and storage are in good condition. The Highway Department has spent over $24,000 for flyers promoting this tax increase and made presentations saying that this tax increase is only for two years. This is absolutely false as the proposition on the ballot as written is for a permanent tax increase. In addition, the proposed cost of this project has no detailed scope of work, no cost basis due to no engineering or architectural drawings, no bids, no site assessment for stormwater mitigation and no construction schedule. You could not get a loan from a bank for a commercial building without providing this information. Why should the tax payers as the “bank” deserve anything less? The highway department has estimated the cost of this project by a simple ratio size comparison to a proposed but never built storage building that DuPage County was considering building in 2022. Cost of construction has increased in four years due to inflation and cost of material and labor. I strongly encourage the taxpayers to vote “no” on this proposed tax increase.

— Auditor general nomination approved unanimously in Illinois. FROM HIS BIOGRAPHY: Prior to joining IFA, Meister was Director of Legislative Affairs and Associate General Counsel for the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (2003-2007). Before his public service with the State of Illinois, Meister worked in private law practice. Meister was a law clerk for Illinois Supreme Court Justice Mary Ann McMorrow, is a graduate of the University of Illinois College of Law and DePaul University’s College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences.
https://www.aol.com/articles/auditor-general-nomination-now-illinois-200400396.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Wednesday, the Illinois Senate approved Chris Meister, who is currently leading the Illinois Finance Authority, to be the new auditor. State Sen. Chapin Rose, who serves on the Legislative Audit Commission, said Meister suggested bringing back a deputy director position for the office. “At the end of the day, you’re getting someone with that breadth of government knowledge, extreme financial management experience,” said Rose, R-Mahomet. “And then I believe ultimately we’re also going to pick up, as a bonus, one of our other candidates. And at the end of the day, this body, and the entire General Assembly and frankly, the taxpayers of Illinois will be enormously well served with Mr. Meister at the helm.” The auditor general is responsible for financial audits and compliance examinations of state agencies. The office also performs audits approved by the Legislative Audit Commission. Wednesday, state Sen. Laura Ellman praised Rose’s nomination for Chris Meister to be the new auditor. “This was a once in a 10 year activity,” Ellman, D-Naperville, said of selecting a new auditor general. “Nobody was really good at it. But through that leadership, Senator Rose guided us all through it and really is a bicameral, bipartisan, effort. So I’m excited to see the next Legislative Audit Commission under Auditor General Meister.” After being unanimously approved by the Senate, Senate Joint Resolution 55 was also unanimously approved by the Illinois House Wednesday. The Illinois Auditor General office’s budget is $43.3 million from state taxpayer funds. The auditor’s salary is more than $197,000.)

Data shared with The Post shows that home-buying assistance programs across the U.S. have been raising their income threshold requirements. DD: Back in the good old days, that is, back when I was 24 in 1972, I was able to buy a new townhome ( https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/774-Sunset-Ct-5-University-Park-IL-60484/5451474_zpid/ ). The down payment came from the money I earned working for IRS for 15 months and for a Firestone Store part-time for 18 months and full-time for 7 months before that. That money I earned also enabled me to buy a new 1972 Corvette in 1971 and to pay for four graduate evening business courses at Loyola in 1972. In 1972, my IRS salary increased from $56,409/year to $68,999year in today’s dollars. According to Zillow, the townhome is currently worth $87,100.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2026/03/05/housing-costs-down-payment-assistance-eligibility/

According to my critics/opponents, those who share our demographics can and should pay more taxes.

According to them, if we had children, I would not have been able to a) pass the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30, b) earn a master’s degree in accounting when I was 31, c) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt when I was 32, or d) become a licensed CPA when I was 32.

— Will Kaczmarek’s March 2 news conference cause Trump to get involved in the March 17 Illinois Republican primary? DuPage county has about 937,000 people in it.

— In Illinois, Democrats run elections. For the March 17 primary, how successful have the Democrats who run elections in your county been a) encouraging Democrats to vote and b) discouraging Republicans from voting? Everyone knows that the more ballots that are cast for a party in primaries strongly indicates that candidates of that party will win in general elections. Will Democrats publish the names of voters who have voted and a) reward those who cast Democrat ballots and b) punish those who cast Republican ballots? How many have voted so far in Illinois, in your county, in your township, in your municipality, and in your precinct? How many Democrat, Republican, and NA ballots have been cast so far? Who does not want the aforesaid information to be reported and why? – Dave Diersen

— What is the DuPage County Republican Central Committee’s (DCRCC) position on the threats that DuPage County Clerk Jean Kaczmarek made at her March 2 news conference, a news conference that I was not notified of? SEE: https://www.dailyherald.com/20260302/news/dupage-clerk-to-ice-stay-away-from-polling-places/ Kaczmarek ever-increasingly makes it clear that she despises if not hates registered Republican voters, and especially those who share Trump’s demographics: conservative, White, male, older, non-poor, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. I share all the aforesaid demographics with Trump. Kaczmarek ever-increasingly hints/implies/argues that Republican voters are racists and even worse things. I am sure that Kaczmarek is furious about what I have done to encourage Republican primary ballots to be cast in my precinct. I recently hand-delivered DCRCC envelopes to the 400 residences in my precinct that have at least one registered Republican or NA voter. Those envelopes contained a copy of the sample ballot, a Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) Voter Guide, and campaign literature from the five candidates who provided literature to the MTRO. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
(FROM THE AFORESAID DAILY HERALD ARTICLE: DuPage County Clerk Jean Kaczmarek made it clear Monday that federal immigration agents are not welcome at polling places. She announced her office has set up a special phone number, (630) 407-5634, for people to report if they see U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement or other federal agents at or near a polling place. “Today, my office has a message for the voters of DuPage County and for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, better known as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and that message is that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement will not be allowed to interfere with DuPage County elections in any way,” Kaczmarek said at a news conference. She said it is a federal crime for military or federal agents to interfere in elections or intimidate voters. “Those crimes will not be tolerated in DuPage County. Not on my watch,” Kaczmarek said. “ICE, go away. Do not even try. You will fail.” Early voting began several weeks ago at five sites and expanded to 24 on Monday. When asked if immigration agents had been seen at any of the sites, Kaczmarek said, “No.” She said it is a myth that non-citizens vote on Election Day. Kaczmarek also reminded voters that if they feel unsafe at a polling place on the day of the March 17 primary election, they can go to another of the 248 polling places because DuPage residents can vote anywhere in the county. If the clerk’s office receives a report about federal agents, it will notify election judges at that polling place. It will also alert community “rapid response” teams who monitor agents and report their presence to the public, Kaczmarek said. The clerk said she will also notify the appropriate authorities. She said election judges can ask agents to leave. Kaczmarek said she did not consult with DuPage County State’s Attorney Bob Berlin or DuPage County Sheriff James Mendrick about enforcing any such requests.)
— What positions do DuPage County State’s Attorney Bob Berlin, DuPage County Sheriff James Mendrick, and DuPage County election judges have on Kaczmarek potentially ordering them to take adverse actions against ICE? What powers do Kaczmarek’s community “rapid response” teams have? Will they be as aggressive as those in Minneapolis? – Dave Diersen

— The DuPage County Election Commission should not have been merged the DuPage County Clerk’s office. That merger dramatically reduced bipartisan oversight of elections in DuPage County. SEE:

PR NEWSWIRE
— Media Advisory vs. Press Release. DD: Since 2000 when I became the Illinois reporter for GOPUSA, I have repeatedly asked DuPage County to keep diersen@aol.com on its press advisory and press release lists. I did not receive a press advisory or press release for Kaczmarek’s March 2 news conference. According to my critics/opponents, a) GOPUSA is not a legitimate news organization and b) I am not a legitimate reporter. According to my critics/opponents, to be a legitimate member of the news media, you have to a) claim to be nonpartisan, b) get paid for what you do, and c) have a degree in journalism. My critics/opponents ignore/dismiss/belittle/badmouth that what GAO Analysts do is very similar to what reporters do. I worked for GAO as an Analyst for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $118,984-$$154,682/year. My critics/opponents destroy those like me a) who they cannot manipulate or dominate, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to pander to them, d) who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) who refuse to coverup their wrong doing, and/or f) who refuse to give them money. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on those who have had their operatives and their dupes take the most/biggest adverse actions against me lately.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A media advisory, also called a press advisory or a media alert, is a brief notice that invites journalists to cover an upcoming event. Unlike a media pitch, which suggests story angles to specific journalists, or a press release, which provides complete news coverage, a media advisory simply gives reporters the essential details they need to decide whether to attend an event. . .A press release is a formal written announcement that shares news about your organization with the media and public. It tells a complete story about company growth, new hires, product launches or other newsworthy developments that matter to your audience. Think of it as a ready-to-publish news article that gives journalists all the information they need to cover your story.)

KOREAN TIMES
— Most Koreans see poverty as matter of discipline, not predetermined. DD: According to my critics/opponents I owe all my successes in life to my benefitting from discrimination against those who do not share my demographics. They ignore/dismiss/belittle the fact that a) neither of my parents attended college, b) my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, c) he never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars, d) he died suddenly when he was 47 and I was 21, e) my mother never attended high school, and f) I had to work my way through college.
https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/amp/southkorea/society/20260303/most-koreans-see-poverty-as-matter-of-discipline-not-predetermined
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Public attitudes in Korea toward poverty remain sharply divided, with a majority of respondents attributing hardship to a lack of individual effort, while low-income families point instead to structural barriers that keep them at the margins, according to a survey released Tuesday. The 2025 Korean Welfare Panel Study, conducted jointly by the Korea Institute for Health and Social Affairs and the Seoul National University Social Welfare Research Institute, found that 89.6 percent of 2,661 respondents cited insufficient motivation and effort as the main cause of poverty. Nearly nine out of 10 respondents, or 88.3 percent, pointed to a lack of frugality or poor household financial management, suggesting that for a majority of Koreans, economic hardship is still seen largely as a matter of personal responsibility and discipline. Because the survey allowed participants to weigh multiple contributing factors independently, the total percentages exceed 100 percent. In contrast, only 62.8 percent blamed inborn ability or talent, and just 12 percent viewed it as a “very important” factor, indicating that poverty is rarely regarded as unchangeable or predetermined. The perception gap widened when broken down by income level. Among middle- and high-income households, 90.2 percent said personal effort was central in determining poverty, compared with 85.5 percent of low-income households. The share who said effort is “very important” dropped from 37.8 percent in the general group to 27.9 percent among low-income respondents, while those who saw a lack of frugality as a very important cause also fell from 40.0 percent to 30.3 percent. Experts warn that this heavy emphasis on individual responsibility can serve as a secondary form of punishment for those already struggling. Labeling poverty primarily as the result of laziness or weak will risks isolating low-income Koreans, undermining their self-worth and weakening social cohesion, they noted. To meaningfully tackle poverty, they added, personal initiative must be supported by stronger safety nets and structural reforms so that individual efforts are not hindered by barriers beyond people’s control.)

— Public servants are under attack. Here’s why their work matters. DD: What is your attitude toward federal employees? I was a federal employee for almost 30 years. In my defense, I would not have become a postal employee when I was 18 in 1966 if my high school friend had not asked me to join him in taking the postal employment examination with him. I would not have become an IRS employee in 1971 if my Firestone Store boss had not fired me for accepting a job offer from Oldsmobile, an offer that Oldsmobile withdrew saying it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. Because government employees are so widely despised if not hated, once you become a government employee, it is almost impossible to get a job in the private sector. Because federal employees are so widely despised if not hated, once you become a federal employee, it is almost impossible to get a job working for state, county, township, or municipal governments.
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2026/03/02/opinion-illinois-public-servants-matter/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Across the nation, public servants carry a burden that few in the private sector ever shoulder: a persistent (and loudly expressed) perception that they do not work hard, they are overpaid, they are lost in the swamp of bureaucracy, or worse, that they simply do not care. These assumptions were amplified on the national stage last year when the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) took an axe to the federal workforce. Rather than collaborate with tenured employees who had firsthand insight on what processes needed to be reworked, DOGE told thousands of workers that their civic efforts were worthless and the country would be better off without them. In doing so, it continued a politically convenient narrative that has since had a chilling effect on state-level jobs and devastating impacts on real people. For instance, just hours after 2,400 Veterans Affairs jobs were dissolved, health care appointments for Illinois veterans were cancelled due to staffing shortages. We should all be concerned that the only efficiency DOGE delivered was deeper mistrust and disregard for those who keep our most fundamental systems running.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— What discourages you from helping elect candidates win elections? For me, since 2000, it has been far too many Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct who have blamed their defeats a) on me, b) on what I have done as the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000, and c) on what I did as an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007, the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, and the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks 2005-2019. Most commonly, they hint/imply/argue/shout that I painted them as being more conservative than they wanted to be painted, and that caused them to lose. According to them, I am far too conservative, and because of that, the more that I do to help them, the more votes that they will not get. Most commonly, they blame articles that I linked to in my newsletters that they do not like. Because Democrat and RINO leaders have ever-increasingly painted me so negatively, Republican candidates ever-increasingly make it clear that they do not want my help to get elected. Sadly, some Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct have taken averse actions against me to get more votes. Comments? – Dave Diersen

If I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran, they would have promoted me to GS-14, then GS-15, and then Senior Executive Service before I was 40 in 1988.

— Trump’s attack on Iran risks alienating war-weary supporters
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/03/01/trump-iran-gop-coalition-divide/
USA TODAY
— Trump faces MAGA backlash on Iran. Trump campaigned as a staunch critic of previous U.S. wars in the Middle East, and some in his MAGA coalition aren’t happy about the Iran operation. DD: While I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, many of my superiors and supervisors were veterans, and at times, most, if not virtually all of them were veterans. They did not blame Republicans for starting the Vietnam War, but they certainly blamed Republicans like me for America losing the Vietnam War. They especially blamed Republicans like me who were 1-A and avoided the Vietnam War draft with deferments. I should write about the many big adverse actions that they took against me. At the Post Office, they disallowed my sick leave requests in 1968 and 1969 and forced me to resign in 1969. At IRS, they disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and never promoted me beyond GS-12. At GAO, they forced me to take a $23,699 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS in 1980, delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, and forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997.

I worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step-1-5 Levels, currently $100,059-$113,402/year. GAO audits IRS. I transferred from IRS to GAO when I was 31. The Democrats who ran GAO wasted my knowledge of IRS. The succeeded in keeping me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran.

(FROM GOOGLE AI: IRS Revenue Officer training is a comprehensive, multi-year program focusing on tax law, civil investigative techniques, and collection procedures. Training includes in-person classroom instruction and on-the-job training (OJT) for navigating delinquent tax cases. As of 2025, training is primarily delivered through the Integrated Talent Management (ITM) system. Key aspects of the training program include: Curriculum Focus: Training covers the Internal Revenue Code, financial analysis, and investigative techniques for field work. Delivery Methods: Uses a combination of classroom training, web-based distance learning, and extensive on-the-job training. Initial Training: New hires undergo rigorous, often two-year, initial training to prepare for face-to-face interactions with taxpayers and representatives. System Access: Training is managed via the ITM system, with some specialized academies still under development as of April 2025. Career Path: Training supports the ability to handle complex tax collection cases, with opportunities for advancement. Newly hired revenue officers are typically trained to work in the field, analyzing financial information and enforcing tax compliance.)

COLLEGE FIX
— Elmhurst University Turning Point USA fights for recognition
https://www.thecollegefix.com/elmhurst-university-turning-point-usa-fights-for-recognition/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Turning Point USA represents a threat to campus and must not be approved, according to student government leaders at Elmhurst University in suburban Chicago. However, university officials say they are “monitoring the situation.” Campus club founder Tim Dudasik recently spoke to The College Fix via a phone interview about his fight to start a chapter of the free-market student club at the private college in Elmhurst. He said student government leaders believe TPUSA is an “unsafe threat to campus.” While the senior always had an interest in politics, the assassination of Charlie Kirk, inspired him to start his own chapter. He said he “immediately filed an application” to start a chapter after the September 10, 2025 assassination of Turning Point USA’s founder. He initially had problems finding a faculty sponsor, emailing at least 25 professors without success. However, he told The Fix that multiple professors reached out to him after a student newspaper story came out about the new organization. Yet, he ran into further problems when he had to present to the student government and his peers denied his request for official recognition. That means the club is not allowed to meet in classrooms or “congregate on campus in any way.” The denial also prevents the club from doing something Dudasik is passionate about: “The big idea [with Turning Point] is tabling – being able to be on campus, talk about politics, religion, and all these divisive topics,” he said. “But without being officially recognized by the school, you can’t do that.” The chapter’s next steps are to address a list of concerns that the Student Government had provided them. “We’re… essentially [going to] go through the same process we did last semester, [to] address their concerns,” Dudasik said. “And if denied again, our next step is to become loud and vocal […a]nd to really express the need and desire for an organization like this on campus, because the more the school realizes that it’s something that’s wanted, it becomes something that’s harder for them to deny.” Still, Dudasik has found ways to organize his like-minded peers – a virtual event with former Olympian Anthony Watson drew 52 interested students. The national Turning Point USA also recognizes the chapter. Elmhurst officials won’t commit to approving the club. The university confirmed to The Fix that the student government must first approve the club before the school will. “The University is monitoring the situation to ensure that the group’s application is treated fairly, and that it receives the same consideration as any other group applying for recognition as a student organization,” Desiree Chen, a spokeswoman for the school, told The Fix via email. She has not responded in the past week for clarification on what the restrictions are on the club and why the school does not just intervene and approve the application. While Turning Point USA has faced problems getting approved on college campuses before, there have been numerous examples in the past several months since the assassination of Charlie Kirk. The national free-market student group reports more than 100,000 people signed up to start clubs. Chapters at Olivet Nazarene University, also in Illinois, as well as St. John’s University in New York City, have faced problems.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: With days left to pass a Homeland Security spending bill, Democratic leaders in the House and Senate dismissed a White House counteroffer to their own, calling it “insufficient.” . . . Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., said he was “aware” of the White House counteroffer, but couldn’t immediately provide more information. Kaine said his support for a continuing resolution would be dependent on the nature of the counteroffer the White House makes to Democratic demands. “Let’s see what the negotiation is like on the proposal the Dems have made and the counteroffer that the Republicans are making,” Kaine said. “We’ll know more after lunch tomorrow.”)

— DD: How did you meet your spouse? I met my outstanding wife at a social meeting for young adults at the Fourth Presbyterian Church in Chicago. She was raised as a Catholic and I was raised as a Missouri Synod Lutheran. We were both looking for a traditional marriage. Our marriage in 1978 helped me a) pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, b) afford to take a $23,699/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, c) earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, d) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, e) become a licensed CPA in 1981, and f) get promoted to GS-13 in 1986. Our marriage helped us a) buy a home in Wheaton and two new cars in 1978 and b) have a home built in Wheaton in 1984. Our marriage helped my wife earn a bachelor’s degree in finance from DePaul in 1986.
