CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Lawmakers deploy rules, hoping to keep town halls from getting out of control – AP  (DIERSEN: Anti-Trumps are filled with hatred.  They are moral relativists who believe that their end justifies their means.  They are disciples of Saul Alinsky.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/politics/ct-congress-town-halls-rules-20170412-story.html
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Anti-Trumps say “immigration can boost growth, jobs, wages.”  Ever-increasingly in America, employers make it clear a) that they want cheap labor, b) that they want to hire, retain, and promote immigrants, and c) that they want to get rid of their employees who are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders (except Bill Clinton), and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

— 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.”)

— Embattled O’Reilly takes his longest spring break in years – AP  (DIERSEN: How much time and money have you spent on vacations during the last year, during the last 10 years, during the last 20 years, during the last 30 years, during the last 40 years, and during the last 50+ years?  My wife and I have spent very little time and money on vacations since 1992 when her employer, the U.S. League of Savings institutions, moved to Washington, DC, and we have spent virtually no time or money on vacations since 1997 when my income dropped by 59% or $72,135 in today’s dollars when my GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “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.)

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.”)

(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.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: My father was born in India under British rule. The British were few, but they were wealthy. The Indians were many but they were kept poor. 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.)

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.)
— HARDCOPY ARTICLE TITLE: FBI mulls easing entry to draw top talent – Eric Tucker  (DIERSEN: To help it hire, retain, and promote Democrats, minorities, females, and young people, all during the almost 30 years that I worked for the federal government (1966-1969 and 1971-1997), the federal government lowered its hiring, retention, and promotion standards. GAO hired me in 1980 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job.  IRS hired me in 1971 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job.  The Post Office hired me in 1966 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job.)

— Project competence and confidence  Women inadvertently undermine their leadership by not doing both. – Minda Zetlin  (DIERSEN: In 1997, when I was 49 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors forced my GS-15 (currently $131,508-$161,900) female supervisor to take the lead in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer.” She reluctantly did what they forced her to do. 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.”)

— TRUMP TOWER AMONG CHICAGO’S MOST DESIRABLE REFUGEE EMPLOYERS – Chuck Goudie and Barbara Markoff
http://abc7chicago.com/news/trump-tower-among-chicagos-most-desirable-refugee-employers/1840201/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Refugees displaced by war, terrorism or persecution are moving to Chicago. One of the most desirable places for them to work? Trump Tower. Officially known as the Trump International Hotel and Tower, the 98-story skyscraper on Chicago’s riverfront has become so popular with refugees because they are paid up to $18.00 per hour for entry-level jobs. That’s according to a Chicago-based organization that helps refugees who are “fleeing war, terror and persecution.” Illinois is currently ranked 10th nationally in the number of refugees resettled, with 3,125 permitted residency here in 2016. Besides the Trump Tower, refugee aid officials told the I-Team that other Chicago-area employers popular with refugees are Tyson Foods, Five Star Laundry, Rivers Casino, Lettuce Entertain You and Eli’s Cheesecake. Since September 2015 the United States has admitted more than 117,000 refugees, including more than 1,000 since Trump became president on January 20. But the inflow took a hit under a Trump executive order signed in January that banned citizens from seven Muslim-majority nations from entering the U.S. for 90 days. Last year according to state department data Muslims accounted for nearly half of all refugee admissions into the country. The Trump executive order will reduce the number of refugees annually admitted into the U.S. from 110,000 to a mere 50,000 people-the lowest ceiling in 35 years. It is currently estimated that more than 23 million refugees-half of them children-are fleeing war and repression around the world. Officials at the Trump Tower in Chicago have not responded to messages left by the I-Team. Eli’s Cheesecake officials said they currently employ 10 refugees and many other new immigrants. Others couldn’t put a number on their refugee work force.)

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. They also downplay, dismiss, and belittle the fact that I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, an MBA from Loyola in 1976, a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, and a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997.  They also downplay, dismiss, and belittle the fact that I worked for GAO 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $94,610-$122,991 and that I worked for IRS 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $79,563-$90,173.)
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.”)

WMIX94
— RAUNER SAYS ECONOMIC CLIMATE HURTS FAMILIES  (DIERSEN: Have you ever sought a job or taken a job outside of Illinois?  I have not. When I graduated from NIU in 1970, I sought a financial hardship draft deferment while I lived with my mother and brother in Crete. I took jobs working for a) Firestone Stores in Chicago Heights in 1970, b) IRS in Chicago in 1971, b) IRS in Harvey in 1972, c) IRS in Joliet in 1973, and d) IRS in Chicago in 1974.)
http://www.wmix94.com/2017/04/05/rauner-says-economic-climate-hurts-families/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Governor Rauner says the state’s anemic economic climate is having a personal effect on Illinois families, including his own.  Rauner told a Facebook live chat audience that the lack of job prospects is driving the next generation of workers out of Illinois.  He said that includes his own six children, none of whom live in Illinois because they were able to find better opportunities elsewhere.  Rauner admitted his wife cries about it, and he’s talked to many families who don’t see the same futures for their children in Illinois that they had.  Rauner said the pro-business reforms he’s seeking would stop that exodus.)
