BELLEVILLE NEWS DEMOCRAT
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: BND wants to tax retirement income. (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, as inflation is far higher than COLAs, the purchasing power of my Civil Service Retirement System pension and Social Security is eroded.)
http://www.bnd.com/opinion/editorials/article133440444.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: And he said this: “we cannot tax people’s retirement incomes.”  We say this: “Why not?”  The feds tax retirement income. Illinois is one of only three states that do not. Instead of some lukewarm reforms and taxing everybody in the neighborhood of 5 percent, what about just closing the loophole that lets retirees escape paying state income taxes? That would put another $2 billion in state coffers and use retirement income to generate a partial fix for our $130 billion state pension deficit. Yes, we can hear the AARP screaming now about balancing the state budget on the backs of those with fixed incomes. True dat. But we could build in some protections for lower retirement incomes, say taxable after $35,000. Illinois has 350,000 people drawing pensions, and of that more than 14,000 are drawing public pensions of greater than $100,000 per year. How fair is it to ask the average Illinois family to pay an additional $745 in state income taxes when so many are paying zip? Letting retirement income escape state taxes is truly a loophole that lawmakers in 1983 giddily and popularly passed, sort of like the free bus rides for seniors regardless of income. Pain is coming in Illinois. Taxing retirees and selling the Thompson Center in Chicago are tiny splinters to be removed before amputations are necessary.)

Because of the aforesaid, while I was in grade school and in high school, I was not viewed as being “college material.” People were shocked that I got a score of 24 on the ACT, that I graduated in the upper 20% of my high school class, and that UIC accepted me.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Lake in The Hills in Chicago’s northwest suburbs came in the No. 7 spot, with west suburban Bartlett ranking as the No. 9 safest city in the country, according to Neighborhood Scout. Bartlett reported only 26 violent crimes last year, which is 90 percent less than most cities in the U.S., according to the study’s data. A total of 219 crimes were reported in the city for 2016, Neighborhood Scout’s report shows, with 193 of them being non-violent and property related crimes. Crime rates were even lower for Lake in The Hills, according to Neighborhood Scout’s research, with a total of 148 crimes reported during the course of the year. Only 19 of those crimes were violent in nature, the report showed. Buffalo Grove (No. 12), Wheaton (No. 32), Hanover Park (No. 37), Huntley (No. 43), Hoffman Estates (No. 46) and Arlington Heights (No. 49) all also made the top 50.)

— Sick pay perk piles on more pension debt – Eric Kohn  (DIERSEN: My Civil Service Retirement System pension is slightly higher because of this “perk.”  Virtually all of my Democrat coworkers and subordinates in the federal government used far more sick days than I did.  They hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I used far fewer sick days than they did a) because I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth, b) because I have always been privileged, c) because I avoided the draft, and d) because my wife and I gave up trying to have children, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents.)
http://www.daily-journal.com/opinion/editorials/sick-pay-perk-piles-on-more-pension-debt/article_cc569d8a-171b-5b15-86a1-f883e728d8aa.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Teachers in Illinois can roll two years worth of sick days into their total tenure of service to the state. This additional two years of service tacked on to the end of their career allows them to retire with an even bigger pension. More than 73,000 teachers have taken advantage of this sick-leave perk as of 2015. That will cost taxpayers $3.39 billion throughout the next 30 years. Perks such as this drive up spending and are a burden to taxpayers – and they’re ripe for reform. But instead of tackling spending reform, Illinois state senators are considering a budget proposal with multibillion-dollar tax hikes.)

Trump’s arrival in the White House has spread anxiety, frustration, fear and resistance among many of the two million nonpolitical civil servants who say they work for the public, not a particular president. At the Environmental Protection Agency, a group of scientists strategized this past week about how to slow-walk President Trump’s environmental orders without being fired. At the Treasury Department, civil servants are quietly gathering information about whistle-blower protections as they polish their résumés. At the United States Digital Service — the youthful cadre of employees who left jobs at Google, Facebook or Microsoft to join the Obama administration — workers are debating how to stop Mr. Trump should he want to use the databases they made more efficient to target specific immigrant groups.)

In 1972, when I was 24, I took out a mortgage to buy a new town home in University Park.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/08/technology/personaltech/a-low-tech-guide-to-becoming-more-politically-active.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Stay Educated  The first challenge to getting more politically active is filtering out the torrent of political news to understand what you should care about. One high-level approach is to read the executive orders posted on the White House website. Beyond that, following your members of Congress is an important way to get deeper information, says Indivisible, an activism guide published by former congressional staff members. These are the people who introduce legislation, so keeping up with them is crucial if you want to be more politically active. After identifying your members of Congress, visit their websites and sign up to receive their newsletters and invitations to local events. You can create Google News alerts on certain lawmakers to keep up with their actions. Another approach is following the legislation you care about. Mr. Tauberer’s tool, GovTrack.us, lets you share your location, select an issue and view the bills that have been introduced. For example, Senator Dianne Feinstein of California introduced a bill to nullify the effect of the executive order on immigration. The site says there is a 7 percent chance of the bill being enacted. You could then contact Ms. Feinstein’s office to say you support or oppose her bill.)
— Federal Workers Get Guidance for Discussing the Politics of Trump – CHARLIE SAVAGE and JONATHAN WEISMAN  (DIERSEN: If I was still working for GAO, my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates would have killed me by now figuratively if not literally.  They would blame me for Trump’s election just like anti-Trumps blame me for Trump’s election in my precinct, in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/09/us/politics/donald-trump-administration.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: With the president already running for re-election, federal workers get guidance on office politics  The day President Trump took the oath of office, he filed paperwork to declare his candidacy for re-election, not so much because he was overeager but because money was still flowing into his campaign coffers, and any funds raised over $5,000 in 2017 would have had to be returned unless Mr. Trump registered as a candidate. And we know the president doesn’t like refunds. So what’s a federal employee to do with a boss who was technically running for office the day he stepped into the Oval Office? The Office of Special Counsel has answers. It has told federal employees that they may not express a view about whether Mr. Trump should be re-elected or defeated in 2020 while on duty or in the workplace, but it assured them that they were otherwise free to express support or disapproval about Mr. Trump and his policies. A new guidance document (https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3457194-2017-Hatch-Act-Trump-Guidance.html) was issued on Tuesday after the office said that it had received numerous inquiries about the impact of Mr. Trump’s filing for re-election. In contrast, former President Barack Obama filed such paperwork more than two years after his inauguration. The office — an independent agency that watchdogs civil-service protections — said that with the exception of expressly advocating Mr. Trump’s success or failure in the 2020 election, federal employees were still pretty free. “Because the 2020 election is still more than three years away, at this time not all expressions of support or opposition to President Trump constitute political activity for purposes of the Hatch Act,” which prohibits federal employees from politicking, it said. The office also developed a new answer to its list of frequently asked question (https://osc.gov/Pages/HatchAct-FAQs.aspx) that spells out with greater detail the scope and limits of federal employees’ right to express their views while they are at work or on duty. The new answer distinguished between expressing a view about current events, policy issues and matters of public interest — which federal employees are always free to do — and political activity, meaning advocating the success or failure of a particular political candidate or party.)
— TRAGIC: HARDCOPY ARTICLE TITLE: Almost Half of Young Adults Get Rent Help From Parents – Quoctrung Bui (DIERSEN: Did your parents help pay your rent after you graduated from college?  My parents did not.  My father died suddenly in 1969 when he was 47 years old.  I graduated from NIU in 1970 when I was 21 years old. After I graduated, I lived with my mother and brother in Crete and helped pay the bills until September of 1972 when I bought a new town home in University Park.  When I bought the town home, I worked as a GS-9 (currently $54,864) IRS Revenue Officer in Harvey and I worked part-time at the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights.)

UIC NEWS CENTER
— Lincoln Laureate aspires to help others – Tim Goldrick (DIERSEN: What did you do when you were a full-time college student?  Instead of helping others, I selfishly worked part-time during the school years and I selfishly worked full-time during the summers.  Instead of using the money that I earned to help others, I selfishly bought two new cars (1968 Oldsmobile 442 and 1969 Dodge Charger SE) and I selfishly paid for all my college expenses at UIC and at NIU. Government is nasty.  Politics is nasty. If I sought a government office or a political office, by critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes would use the aforesaid against me.)
https://news.uic.edu/lincoln-laureate-aspires-to-help-others
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Rafid Rahman had a simple objective when he began classes at UIC four years ago. He just wanted to help others.
“One thing my parents have always told me is, ‘Wherever you go, at any stage of your life, you can always give back,’” said Rahman, a senior in anthropology and biology. “Even if it is really small, there’s something you can do to help your community. So I really wanted that to be the focus of any club I joined.” Fast-forward seven semesters, and the Springfield native is being honored for his strong commitment to service with the Lincoln Laureate, an award given to a senior at each undergraduate institution in Illinois. “I’m super honored,” he said. “I can’t say that enough. So many people that I know here have done great things and made UIC such a great campus, and I don’t think this campus would be the same without any of them. To be recognized out of those people and be the sole winner of this award, I’m truly honored.” In total, 56 students across the state named Lincoln Laureates, which takes into account public service and academics. Gov. Bruce Rauner joined the Lincoln Academy of Illinois in recognizing the students at the Old State Capitol Nov. 12. Rauner presented the students with a certificate of merit, a medal of Lincoln and a $1,000 check from the Lincoln Academy.)

ILLINOIS REVIEW
— WHEATON MIDDLE SCHOOL STAFF MEET STUDENTS WITH PRO-REFUGEE SIGNS  (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, anti-Trumps hint/imply/argue/shout that Trump and Trump’s supporters are racists, sexist, bigots, and even worse things.  What percent of those involved in education anti-Trump?)
http://illinoisreview.typepad.com/illinoisreview/2017/02/wheaton-middle-school-staff-meet-students-with-pro-refugee-signs.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Wheaton Illinois’ James Howard Monroe Middle School says it is “inspiring in everyone a passion to excel,” but parents were stunned to learn this morning that staff members met students with signs inspiring passions to react against the Trump Administration’s effort to protect American citizens. “We are not afraid,” signs held by staff members at the school’s entrance said Wednesday morning, and publicized the website, “WeWelcomerefugees.com,”  while others said “You all are welcome here.” “Your voice is direly needed in this defining, historic moment, to be part of a coalition of the faith community who are compelled to be the voice of Christ, and show support for refugees, immigrants and minorities who now fear how potential political changes may significantly, and detrimentally, upend their whole world,” the site the signs referenced says. The comments on the signs are similar to those that rose up over the weekend in protest of the Trump Administration, which placed a temporary travel ban on certain immigrants and refugees hoping to find solace in America. The Trump Administration clamped down on travelers from seven countries where terrorists are reportedly being cultivated and trained for destruction to Western Civilization. Bryan Buck, the school’s principal, emailed parents Wednesday morning that having taxpayer-funded school staff meeting 6th, 7th and 8th grade students with those signs “could be perceived as political activity.” No apology was issued, only explanation and defense for the staff members: “Monroe Parents, This morning as students were entering the building, there were several school staff members holding signage reading, “We are not afraid, wewelcomerefugees.com” and “You are all welcome here.” The intent behind this demonstration was to make sure that all students, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, religion or language, are welcome at our schools. I understand that this situation could be perceived as political activity. Please know that the true the intent was to show openness and support for all our students. Our school district and community represent an amazing cross-section of the world, and we strive to ensure that each student is included and has a place to learn, develop and succeed in our schools. Thank you again for your continued commitment and support of one another and our school. Bryan Buck, Principal  The website the signs promoted is sponsored by the following organizations:)
