FED SMITH
— Becoming a Thrift Savings Plan Millionaire: One Federal Employee’s Story – Dan Magneson
https://www.fedsmith.com/2017/05/21/becoming-tsp-millionaire-one-federal-employees-story/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: So, twenty years after I first bought that magazine, I can attest to the truth of the projections that those charts and graphs – and the TSP calculator – illustrate: that by making regular contributions – and contributing the maximum that you can – an ordinary, run-of-the-mill person can indeed become a millionaire. It is not just smoke-and-mirrors or a mirage and while it doesn’t happen overnight, it can happen over time. For myself, my government career can very roughly be divided into thirds: about the first 1/3 was spent working various positions between GS-3 and GS-7. The next 1/3 was spent as a GS-9, and only in the third to date have I reached a GS-11. So I am not particularly remarkable in this regard, nor am I boasting or bragging. In fact, just the opposite: By not having climbed all that far up the career ladder myself, I am simply pointing out just how possible that it still really is; this would seem to be a goal well within reach of a lot of everyday folks. And if the markets cooperate and deliver exceptionally-robust returns, it could happen sooner than you think. But the absolute worst thing you can do is convince yourself that accumulating substantial wealth is simply not attainable; if you do that, you’ll defeat yourself before you even get started. I think it was Henry Ford who said, if not verbatim, something to the effect of: “Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t – you’re right.”)

— ALL OF THE FRONT PAGE: DIERSEN HEADLINE: Those who run the Chicago Sun-Times say “Our independent, award-winning journalism lives on.”  However, ever-increasingly, the Chicago Sun-Times acts like it is an arm of the Democrat Party. How independent are your news sources?  You should know where their money comes from and how much.  He who pays the piper calls the tunes. All news sources should be required to disclose the source and amount of all of their income.  They should also disclose the real source and amount of all income laundered through third, fourth, fifth, etc. parties.  All my money comes from the Civil Service Retirement System ($50,856/year) and Social Security ($2,028/year).  My critics/opponent are beyond furious that they cannot take that income away from me. Ever-increasingly, they make it clear that they will use their tremendous religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois to viciously destroy me and any individual, any organization, any company, or any government that might come to my defense.)

http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20170515/news/170519177/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Voters approved a ballot question that makes the township establish a board devoted to improving the availability and quality of services for township residents with mental illness, addiction, and developmental disabilities. Ed Levato was township supervisor when the referendum was placed on the ballot after a successful petition drive organized by a group of residents. He said Monday that township staff members were simply misinformed when they told a Daily Herald reporter before the election that the ballot question was advisory. “They were not given any information about it,” he said. “It wasn’t our referendum. It was a citizens’ initiative.” Levato apologized for the miscommunication. He said he personally didn’t support the measure. “It’s a huge tax increase,” Levato said. According to preliminary estimates, owners of homes valued at $240,000 would pay about $56 a year in property taxes to support the mental health board. The tax is expected to be collected for the first time next year. However, Michael Murray, chairman of the committee that backed the referendum, said their campaign made it clear to residents that some type of tax increase would be necessary to fund the mental health board. The panel will use the money to award grants to agencies that provide detection, early diagnosis, education, assistance and treatment programs.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Illinois Republican Party held a news conference Monday in front of the home, where former party Chairman Pat Brady accused Pritzker of engaging in a “con job” that took much-needed money from Chicago Public Schools and social services. He noted the home is located in one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in the U.S., and said Pritzker has more than enough money to pay the full amount.)

https://capitolfax.com/2017/05/16/attacks-continue-on-pritzker-over-property-tax-breaks/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: OK, so read between the lines a bit. Pritzker paid $3.7 million for the house, but it’s assessed value remained at or above its original $6 million list price. Usually, you’d file for a reassessment right away if you bought a house for much lower than its assessed valuation, but Pritzker didn’t, which cost him some bucks he didn’t need to be paying.)

— For J.B. Pritzker, mansion’s disrepair has saved $230K in taxes – Tim Novak
http://chicago.suntimes.com/politics/billionaire-illinois-governor-hopeful-jb-pritzker-let-mansion-fall-into-disrepair-saved-230000-on-taxes-on-uninhabitable-3-7-million-home-watchdogs-democrat/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: J.B. Pritzker, billionaire would-be governor, bought the historic mansion next door to his even bigger home on Chicago’s Gold Coast, let it fall into disrepair — and then argued it was “uninhabitable” to win what so far have been nearly $230,000 in property-tax breaks, records show. Pritzker, his wife and their two children live in a palatial, three-story home in the Gold Coast with more than 12,500 square feet of living space and a two-story coach house. They bought that for $14.5 million in May 2006 and spent an additional amount fixing it up — between $11 million and $25 million more, records show. Then, when the smaller mansion — designed in 1894 by the fabled architectural firm of Holabird & Root — went on sale, they bought that, too, paying $3.7 million. Retired banker Burton Gordon and his wife had lived in the 6,387-square-foot home for more than 40 years before selling it to the venture capitalist who’s now seeking the Democratic nomination for governor. Pritzker refurbished the outside of the Federal-style home, where the Gordons raised their family. But the inside has fallen into disrepair. The toilets have been disconnected, and the home has “no functioning bathrooms or kitchen,” according to documents Pritzker’s lawyers filed with the office of Cook County Assessor Joseph Berrios. Arguing that the smaller mansion is “vacant and uninhabitable,” those lawyers convinced Berrios to slash its assessed value last year from $6.25 million to just under $1.1 million. That’s allowed Pritzker to get the nearly $230,000 in property-tax breaks and refunds, a Chicago Sun-Times analysis found. The drastically reduced assessment caused the mansion’s property taxes to plunge 83 percent, leaving Pritzker with a bill for $19,719 last year, the analysis found. That was instead of the $117,087 he otherwise would have had to pay in property taxes, which fund the Chicago Public Schools, the city and other local governments.)

— With retirement ‘permanent,’ Jay Cutler ready to dive into TV analyst role – Dan Wiederer  (DIERSEN: What are you most qualified to analyze?  For me, it is Republican politics and government in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois. I have served as a Republican Precinct Committeeman since 1999 in Milton Township.  I have served as the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000.  I served as the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member 2003-2011, the Milton Township Republican Central Committee webmaster 2008-2010, an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007, and an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member 2001-2004.  In addition, I worked for GAO for almost 18 years 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which, at the GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $94,610-$122,991. Much of what I did for GAO is what analysts do – interviewing, conducting surveys, gathering facts, summarizing facts, analyzing facts, and writing reports. Two of the GAO reports that I worked on are at http://www.gao.gov/assets/160/154342.pdf (FINANCIAL DERIVATIVES: Actions Needed to Protect the Financial System) and at http://www.gao.gov/assets/160/156011.pdf (OTC DERIVATIVES: Additional Oversight Could Reduce Costly Sales Practice Disputes)

DAILY HERALD

In my defense, I worked for GAO for almost 18 years 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which, at the GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $94,610-$122,991. Much of what I did for GAO is similar to what journalists do – interviewing, conducting surveys, gathering facts, summarizing facts, analyzing facts, and writing reports.

NEW YORK TIMES
— Republicans Get Their Health Bill. But It May Cost Them. – JENNIFER STEINHAUER (DIERSEN: My Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were furious that in 1986, the GAO manager who had hired me in 1980, succeeded in getting me assigned to audits of IRS and promoted to GS-13.  In 1987, they succeeded in forcing that GAO manager to retire, and at the end of 1988, they succeeded in throwing me off audits of IRS. In 1989, they pulled out all the stops to get rid of me, and they might have succeeded, were it not for Henry Hyde’s intervention.)
