— Rauner denies alleged ties to Proft papers  Denies knowledge of controversial, privately-funded newspaper organization – Emilee Fannon
http://www.illinoishomepage.net/news/capitol-news/rauner-denies-alleged-ties-to-proft-papers/721247660
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Despite donating $2.5 million to Liberty Principles PAC, Governor Bruce Rauner denies he has any knowledge of a controversial, privately-funded newspaper organization run by the same political operative. Dan Proft is a conservative radio talk show host who runs the Liberty Principles super PAC. Proft also launched a private news publishing group, which is not required to disclose it’s donor or “investor” list. Last week, Democrats accused Proft’s ‘Local Government Information Services’ of spreading “fake news” in an alleged plot to sabotage the effort to alter the education funding formula. They claimed without providing any evidence that the erroneous, outdated information published in these papers was planted by the Rauner administration.)

 

ILLINOIS LEAKS

— Bill introduced to change Public Officer Prohibited Activities Act after DuPage official outed – John Kraft  (DIERSEN: The GAO manager who took the lead in wasting my GAO career and in getting rid of me boasted that he got Congress to change a law because of me. I got full-time federal service credit while I worked only part-time for the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969. Because he was so furious about that, he got Congress to change the law so that part-time federal work is now prorated. If I had not been grandfathered in, that law change would have cost me about 1 1/2 years of federal service credit.)
http://edgarcountywatchdogs.com/2017/05/bill-introduced-to-change-public-officer-prohibited-activities-act-after-dupage-official-outed/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Like previous violations of law by public officials in DuPage and other counties, instead of following the law, they simply get the law changed – which is their right to try and accomplish, but it sets a bad precedent for Illinois public officials – one that essentially breeds corruption by demonstrating that laws do not matter. Previous changes have been to pass a Bill concerning the election code, and backdate its effective date to allow extended times for publication of referendum. Another was to change the township code to authorize giving away mulch and delivering it onto private property. And changing the way drug funds must be utilized, after writing about a rogue State’s Attorney who chose to spend it outside what the current law allowed. If this is what we have come to in Illinois, someone should tell us exactly which laws are to be followed, and which ones can be safely ignored. Anything short of that, “Break the Law Change the Law” will become our State motto.)

All the time and money needed to put GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and to send them out comes from me. But if I did have advertisers, my critics/opponents would destroy them.  My critics/opponents are moral relativists who believe that their end justifies their means.

Hannity blamed left-wing media activists who were targeting his advertisers over the sensationalistic story. According to Buzzfeed News, who had a reporter contact each of Hannity’s advertisers, Cars.com was the first sponsor to drop Hannity.)

http://dupagepolicyjournal.com/stories/511113795-like-the-vets-it-honors-dupage-foundation-reaches-its-goals
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Approximately 100 local veterans of World War II and the Korean War got their due and the Honor Flight Chicago got its financial backing at the DuPage Veterans Foundation’s sixth annual fundraiser recently. Richard Jorgensen, the president of the foundation, told the DuPage Policy Journal that the event met its goals with flying colors. “We considered it to be a very successful event,” he said. “Our event is really two things: one, to honor World War I and Korea War-era veterans for their service, and second, it is a fundraiser to donate the money to Honor Flight Chicago. Those were the two goals of our event.” Jorgensen said the fundraiser drew more than 1,000 attendees, including Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and Chicago radio talk show host Dan Proft. Proft is a principal of Local Government Information Services, which owns this publication. Jorgensen said he estimated the fundraiser garnered approximately $55,000 this year, adding to the more than $200,000 it has raised through past events.)

http://www.theblaze.com/news/2017/05/21/what-has-happened-to-fox-news-ratings-since-oreillys-departure-the-answer-is-shocking/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: About one month later, Fox News has a completely different news lineup, and the results thus far have been nothing short of disastrous. On Thursday, TV Newser reported Fox News, which once dominated its competitors in virtually every timeslot, is now losing across the board in the key 25-54 demographic. The results are most notable in primetime, which used to carry Fox News’ most reliable audience. Now, Fox News is running a distant third to hosts who previously drew audiences half the size of O’Reilly’s.)

— Trump, Hill Republicans target ‘overly generous compensation’ for federal employees – Joe Davidson  (DIERSEN: Overwhelmingly, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois a) want “cheap labor,” b) do not want the federal government to be a “model employer,” and c) hate federal employees and hate federal retirees.)
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2017/05/22/trump-hill-republicans-target-overly-generous-compensation-for-feds/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: With President Trump targeting federal employees’ retirement programs and House Republicans taking aim at their compensation generally, Uncle Sam’s goal of being a model employer looks shaky. The administration’s fiscal 2018 budget proposal, scheduled for release Tuesday, includes a series of cuts to retirement programs, as The Washington Post reported last week. Then, amid a torrent of reports denoting Trump as unfit, unprepared and unbecoming, Republicans took time for a hearing to promote the notion that feds are overpaid. Together, the White House and congressional actions are a clear indication of Republican intent to extract savings at the expense of the workforce. At Thursday’s House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing, Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), chairman of the government operations subcommittee, complained “taxpayers are stuck paying for overly generous compensation” that “rewards tenure rather than performance.” Meadows, chairman of the right-wing House Freedom Caucus, always makes a point of praising “an incredibly dedicated federal workforce” and visiting their workplaces. That he is not a fed-basher demonstrates how pervasive his position is among Republicans who control Congress. With Republican Trump running the White House, Democrats are outnumbered in their attempt to protect workers from further incursions into their pocketbooks.)

By way of contrast, I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 33.  In addition, I served on the executive committee of a job-related professional association 1983-1996.)

COLUMBIA JOURNAL REVIEW
— Trump and trickle-down press persecution – Jonathan Peters  (DIERSEN: Who focuses on delegitimizing you and delegitimizing what you do? I should write a book about those in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who focus on delegitimizing me and delegitimizing my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails.  Should I retaliate?)
https://www.cjr.org/local_news/trump-and-trickle-down-press-persecution.php
(FROM THE ARTICLE: IT’S BECOME CLEAR IN RECENT MONTHS that Donald Trump’s growling at the national press has, in many ways, backfired. The New York Times and The Washington Post are producing exceptional and indignant stories about the new administration. Subscriptions have surged. Cable news ratings are hitting record highs. And nonprofit outlets like Mother Jones and ProPublica have seen a major increase in donations. Times Editor Dean Baquet put it this way in late February: “There was a long time when the press wondered about its place in society. . . What’s happened in the last couple of months, I have to say, has been tremendous for news organizations. Our mission is clearer than it’s ever been.” I’m excited about the press’s reinvigoration, too, but I’m also worried about Trump’s anti-press words and deeds—and their trickle-down consequences for state and local journalists. I contacted 16 editors or publishers of state and local newspapers in California, Georgia, Florida, Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Texas to ask if their papers had seen post-election bumps in subscriptions or readership. Their circulations range from 8,000 to 200,000 daily. Seven responded, and only one reported growth. The others didn’t know why they hadn’t seen growth or said their local focus might be to blame. I don’t want to lean too heavily on these results, which are anecdotal. But they only add to my concern that Trump’s anti-press antics will inspire unprecedented attempts to delegitimize the state and local press.)

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.”)

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— 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.)

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: Bloomingdale Township moving to form mental health board – Robert Sanchez (DIERSEN: Of course, this will encourage those who have “mental illness, addiction, and developmental disabilities” to move to Bloomingdale Township.)
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.)

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.)
