DAILY HERALD
— State and local taxes are making rich richer – Christopher Ingraham
https://www.dailyherald.com/business/20190310/analysis-state-and-local-taxes-are-making-rich-richer
(FROM THE ARTICLE: State and local taxes effectively redistribute national income from the poor to the very rich, according to data released by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy (ITEP), a progressive think tank. Many state and local governments are heavily reliant on sales taxes, rather than income taxes. Lower-income households tend to spend a greater fraction of their earnings on purchases, including necessities like food and transportation, than higher-income households do. As a result, sales taxes take a bigger bite, percentagewise, from the paychecks of low-income households than high-income ones.)

— Suburban voters see more options in local elections this year – Jake Griffin
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190309/suburban-voters-see-more-options-in-local-elections-this-year
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For the first time in a decade, more local races will be contested this year than in the previous municipal election. In some cases, there are more contested races this year than in 2015 as well. On average, nearly 37 percent of the suburban races will be contested in those counties this election, according to a Daily Herald analysis of election data. “There’s a lot more activism and a lot more youthful activism,” said David Orr, the former Cook County clerk who retired last year. “Part of it is that people just want to get out there and make a difference. There’s also (President Donald) Trump motivating some, but not in a favorable way.” In suburban Cook County, voters will have a choice in 35.9 percent of the races this year, up from 30 percent in 2017. In DuPage County, voters have options in 37 percent of the races, versus the 31.1 percent of contested races in 2017.)

— Kinzinger has a right to speak his opinion when he’s off-duty – Editorial (DIERSEN: While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, and while I was “on duty,” I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. In 1988, when I was 40 years old, I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged my superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. According to laws enforced by EEOC, I had “a right” to do that. According to the EEOC, “It is also illegal to retaliate against a person because he or she complained about discrimination, filed a charge of discrimination, or participated in an employment discrimination investigation or lawsuit. The law forbids discrimination in every aspect of employment.” SEE: https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/practices/ My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes side with the federal government against me. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes.)

It didn’t go so well. – Schuyler Kropf (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always wanted me to pay lots of reparations. They stress that I am a Trump supporter, Protestant (baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran), conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, old (born in 1948), non-poor, gun owner, 100% German American, draft avoider, married, childless, pet-less, and my ancestors have been in America since 1844. They shout that the federal government grossly overpaid me and that my federal retirement benefits are much too generous. In my defense, my ancestors always lived in northeast Illinois, they all were Republicans, and they never had enough money to discriminate against anyone even if they wanted to.)

— It’s not just the Oscars — Congress needs a representation reboot – SANGITA SIGDYAL (DIERSEN: Why stop at gender and race? What about IQ, ACT score, political affiliation, age, marital status, veteran status, national origin, religion, length of time your ancestors have been in America, income, net worth, education, professional certifications, professional licenses, height, BMI, attractiveness/handsomeness, hair color, eye color, etc.?)
https://thehill.com/opinion/civil-rights/430486-its-not-just-the-oscars-congress-needs-a-representation-reboot
(FROM THE ARTICLE: That’s not so different than our Congress, which despite the much-celebrated diversity of the newest class, remains a far cry from the gender and racial makeup of its electorate. Women represent nearly a quarter of the 116th Congress, while racial minority representation stands at about 22 percent. How does this fare with the national demographics, you might ask? The latest estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau: 13 percent African-American, 18 percent Hispanic or Latino, and half female. So why isn’t #CongressSoWhite (and male) trending on Twitter?)

FEDERAL NEWS NETWORK
— Are you on the government’s endangered species list? – Mike Causey
https://federalnewsnetwork.com/mike-causey-federal-report/2019/02/are-you-on-the-governments-endangered-species-list/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: If anybody in your office has been with the government since the early 1980s take him or her to lunch. Your veteran office mate is golden and like many precious resources, their numbers are dwindling fast. In fact, if Uncle Sam kept a list of endangered workers, folks under the old Civil Service Retirement System would be at the top. Less than six of every 100 workers still on the payroll are under the generous system that was phased out in the mid 1980s, in favor of a retirement package more like those in the private sector. It is the Federal Employees Retirement System, or FERS, and it covers those hired since 1984. Although CSRS and FERS employees work alongside each other in many offices, their situations are very different. CSRS provides a much more generous retirement annuity than FERS, while the latter group of employees are eligible for both Social Security and get a government match of up to 5 percent of their total pay to their Thrift Savings Plan accounts. The TSP is a good investment for CSRS workers and a must for FERS employees because of their smaller annuities. In a Congressional Research Service study of the two retirement plans in fiscal year 2016, the average monthly federal benefit for retiring FERS workers was $1,714 versus an average of $4,755 per month for those leaving under the CSRS plan. Because of the less generous civil service benefit and less inflation protection in retirement some people believe that those under FERS work longer than their CSRS counterparts.)
— Federal government’s employer brand is in trouble – Jeff Neal (DIERSEN: Potential federal employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran should be advised a) that the federal government will waste their career and get rid of them if they do not make GS-13 (currently $96,403) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $113,920) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $134,000) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $164,200) by age 40 and b) that extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines.)
