PEORIA JOURNAL STAR
— Will you miss us, now that we’re gone? – Nick Vlahos (DIERSEN: If my critics/opponents succeed in stopping me from putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out, who would fill the void? Because he who pays the piper calls the tunes, the void should be filled by a volunteer like me. Who can and would spend 10+ hours each and every day putting the emails together and sending them out each and every morning and each and every evening? Who can afford and would pay for all expenses required to put the emails together and send them out? Who has the qualifications and experience needed to do the job?)
http://www.pjstar.com/news/20180916/word-on-street-will-you-miss-us-now-that-were-gone
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Journal Star’s political column is going on hiatus, at least for now, because of the recent departure of co-author Chris Kaergard. We’ve enjoyed sharing Monday mornings with you. And Sunday nights, too, since the advent of the internet has allowed the column to appear there before it hits print. But part of us feels bad about leaving when perhaps this forum might be needed the most. We’ve endeavored to provide spin-less, nonpartisan analysis and commentary regarding local issues. We’ve also tried to pull back the curtain a bit to see how the political sausage is made — while wearing aprons, because that can be messy. As for what lies ahead, we’re not stepping off our soapbox entirely. The other half of this column the past five-plus years will continue to provide state-and-local political commentary from time to time. For that and plenty of other, more frivolous stuff, check Nick in the Morning most weekdays at pjstar.com. Some of those Nick in the Morning items also will appear in the Journal Star print edition, depending on interest and importance.)

To put me under a “cloud of suspicion,” my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes a) ended my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship in 2012, b) ended my Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee membership in 2011, c) ended my Milton Township Republican Central Committee webmaster service in 2010 and 2004, d) ended my Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee membership in 2007, and e) ended my American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board membership in 2004. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes stress those who could/should have come to my defense, but did not.)
