expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my

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, disallowed my education deductions
in 1978, got rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem
claims in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and
disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968. Without admitting it, my critics/opponents
used the aforesaid to justify their ending my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois
chairmanship, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee
