My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school.)

CAPITOL FAX
— Republicans file TRUST Act repeal bills while Rauner dodges questions
https://capitolfax.com/2017/08/31/republicans-file-trust-act-repeal-bills-while-rauner-dodges-questions/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Those aren’t going anywhere, of course, but filing legislation does make them look good to their constituencies. Gov. Rauner was asked about GOP legislator criticism about the TRUST Act yesterday, but he refused to answer because, Rauner said, it was an “off-topic” question and he was only taking questions about the school funding bill… (VIDEO) Less than a minute later, however, the governor answered a different off-topic question.)

— Get ready for another intra-party rumble
https://capitolfax.com/2017/08/31/get-ready-for-another-intra-party-rumble/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: I’ve heard the $30 million number, too. Heaven help the governor, because the US Attorney won’t, if there was even an “understanding” that the initial round of staff firings was in any way tied to a $30 million campaign contribution. Also, Proft called House GOP Leader Jim Durkin a “pansy” on his radio show yesterday. So, things aren’t going well.)

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— Rauner pivots to center as romance with right wing cools – GREG HINZ (DIERSEN: Those in the “center” of the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) have always focused on driving out of the party those like me who support the IRP platform, that is, they have always focused on destroying the IRP. Especially since 2000, they have had great success in destroying the IRP. Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend their platform. Most commonly, those in the “center” are Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, and Green plants. Most commonly, they reject the traditional family, right to life, and immigration planks in the IRP platform. Most commonly, they promote LGBTQ activity, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices. In Illinois, if you got elected or appointed to a government office or to a political office as a Republican, if you have not, and/or, if you will not defend and advance the IRP platform, you should immediately resign.)
http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20170831/BLOGS02/170839974/rauner-pivots-to-center-as-romance-with-right-wing-cools
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Things could heat up even more if Rauner signs a pending bill to guarantee abortion coverage for women on Medicaid and state employees. Doing so might infuriate much of the political right, but that didn’t stop the governor from recently signing an almost-as-controversial “motor voter” registration measure and a bill limiting the ability of local police to arrest immigrants who are in the country illegally. . .Such events sparked personal complaints to Rauner from Jim Durkin and Bill Brady, the GOP leaders of the Illinois House and Senate. In a meeting with him on Aug. 23, both complained about attacks on their members and asked him to step in, four sources close to the matter tell me. Durkin and Brady’s spokeswomen declined to comment on what they categorized as a private meeting. But in the wake of that get-together, the Proft group moved to run its own legislative operation without Rauner, sources close to the matter tell me. And Rauner began veering to the left on key legislative matters, notably praising the schools bill that he’s spent a month ripping as a “bailout” of Chicago Public Schools. Another source tells me some of the conservatives met a few days ago with Diana Rauner, the governor’s wife, in what is described as a “very difficult” session. At the moment, Rauner has no known opponent in the GOP primary. But this nasty divorce could play out in unexpected ways. One veteran GOP operative says it’s not quite clear who’s doing what. But other outside political consultants brought in by Rauner when Zolnierowicz left likely have told him that, in Democratic-leaning Illinois, it’s smarter to act like former GOP Gov. Jim Thompson and Jim Edgar. Rauner himself may not know. But continue to look for more rolling-pin-wielding in his bumpy marriage with the GOP’s hard right.)

DAILY HERALD
— Employers: Learn how to ease stress in workplace at Aurora seminar – John Russell (DIERSEN: While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates did everything that they could to cause me stress. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take an $18,847 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, 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. Were it not for federal civil service protections, a) the Post Office would NOT have hired me in 1966 or let me work there for almost 3 years, b) IRS would NOT have hired me in 1971 or let me work there for almost 9 years, c) IRS would NOT have promoted me in 1972, 1973, or 1974, d) GAO would NOT have hired me in 1980 or let me work there for almost 18 years, and e) GAO would NOT have promoted me in 1986.)

TIMES
— Conservative paper plagiarized – David Giuliani
http://www.mywebtimes.com/news/local/conservative-paper-plagiarized/article_30d2a752-90fa-59fa-8804-63301459dc54.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A co-owner of a chain of conservative papers said late last week a writer and an editor were “terminated” after The Times identified instances of plagiarism. In November, the Illinois Valley Times ran two stories that contained passages from Times stories without proper attribution. The chain of Illinois papers is run by Local Government Information Services Inc.; the Illinois Valley Times has no local presence, with its writers from elsewhere, including the Philippines. Dan Proft, one of the company’s owners, said plagiarism is against his company’s policy. “(W)e take proper attribution and substantiation of sources and content seriously and instruct our people accordingly,” he said in an email late last week. “The hundreds of stories we’ve done across all our properties speak very clearly to the veracity of my statement of policy.” On Nov. 19, the Illinois Valley Times posted a story to its website about Republican Karen Donnelly’s victory over Democrat Brian Towne in the state’s attorney race 11 days before. The story included a series of direct quotes from the two candidates that were from The Times’ election night story. The conservative paper attributed none of the quotes to The Times. Other paragraphs were paraphrased from The Times’ story. In his email, Proft said the lack of attribution was a “major problem and should’ve been caught by our editor.” In a Nov. 9 story, the Illinois Valley Times reported Republican state representative candidate Jerry Long’s victory over Democratic Rep. Andy Skoog. The story contained a direct quote from the director of a think tank based at Southern Illinois University, saying the director made the comment to the Illinois Valley Times in September. In fact, the director, David Yepsen, had given the quote to The Times in September. Proft said an editor mistakenly changed “Times” to “Illinois Valley Times,” thinking it was a typo. For both stories, Proft said, it appeared speed was chosen over accuracy. “These are our mistakes, and we take accountability for them,” Proft said in his email. “Both the writer and the editor in question have been terminated as a result of this sloppy work.” Soon after Proft’s response to The Times, both stories were corrected to include proper attributions. Editors added notations at the end of the stories indicating the previous problems. Proft couldn’t be reached for a phone interview.)

http://www.expressnews.com/business/national/article/Easy-retirement-Only-for-a-privileged-few-10819650.php

FED SMITH
— Congress Curbs Misuse of Administrative Leave – Ralph R. Smith (DIERSEN: Constructively, the Democrats who run GAO have had me on reduced (42%) administrative leave since 1997. My Civil Service Retirement System pension is $50,720, or 42% of the GS-13 Step 10 salary (currently $120,427) that GAO paid me in 1997.)
http://www.fedsmith.com/2016/12/26/congress-curbs-misuse-of-administrative-leave/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Senator also noted that this figure might be too low because of imprecise calculations provided by some agencies. His report also noted that tens of thousands of federal employees were on paid leave for at least one month. Several hundred employees were on paid leave for nine months to three years over a three-year period. Senator Grassley succinctly stated his opinion this way: “Paid leave shouldn’t be a crutch for management to avoid making tough personnel decisions or a club for wrongdoers to use against whistleblowers.” The Government Accountability Office (GAO) has also concluded that about $775 million was spent on more than 57,000 employees on paid administrative leave for more than a month.)

My Democrat IRS superiors would stress that they did not promote me beyond GS-12, that they disallowed my education deductions, and that they disallowed my partial day per diem claims.

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/page/ct-identity-politics-clinton-democrats-perspec-1130-20161129-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Should political candidates appeal to particular racial, ethnic or gender groups? Or should they broaden their message to appeal to all groups? Such are the questions that presidential campaigns ask themselves in the circular firing squad of blame that follows a big loss. Four years ago, the big word for Republicans after President Barack Obama’s re-election was “diversity.” After the party had lost the popular vote in five of the previous six presidential elections, the Republican National Committee’s “autopsy” report called for aggressive outreach to blacks, Hispanics, Asians and other growing nonwhite demographic groups that were not voting much for Republicans. Alas, that approach evaporated with the Grand Old Party’s nomination of Donald Trump. Result: The GOP has lost the popular vote in six of the past seven elections — yet bagged enough electoral votes this time to win the White House.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Requiring employers to provide paid sick leave apparently is good for more than workers. Three of the key sponsors of a new Chicago ordinance mandating five days a year paid sick leave were honored at a fundraiser earlier this week thrown by a group known as the Political Fund of Illinois, and it looks like the group did pretty well. With ticket packages going for as much as $5,000, the event pulled in “in the six figures,” according to the fund’s Zack Koutsky, the legislative director of United Food and Commercial Workers Local 881, which sponsored the leadership PAC. “We had just over 100 people” at the event at Kendall College, including U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., and ex-Gov. Pat Quinn.)

FEDSMITH

Smith (DIERSEN: Should the time that I spend putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out be counted as a “monetary donation” to those who read the emails? I spend 10+ hours each and every day putting the emails together and sending them out. At $100 an hour, that is $1,000+ each and every day, $7,000+ each and every week, $30,000+ each and every month, $365,000 each and every year, and $3,650,000 each and every decade.)
http://www.fedsmith.com/2016/10/16/executive-order-seeks-to-increase-federal-employee-donations-to-cfc/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Contributions to the CFC have been going down each year since 2009. A new executive order seeks to reverse this by allowing retired federal employees to donate as well as allowing agencies to count federal employees’ time spent working for charity as a monetary donation.)
