DAILY HERALD
— State and local taxes are making rich richer – Christopher Ingraham
https://www.dailyherald.com/business/20190310/analysis-state-and-local-taxes-are-making-rich-richer
(FROM THE ARTICLE: State and local taxes effectively redistribute national income from the poor to the very rich, according to data released by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy (ITEP), a progressive think tank. Many state and local governments are heavily reliant on sales taxes, rather than income taxes. Lower-income households tend to spend a greater fraction of their earnings on purchases, including necessities like food and transportation, than higher-income households do. As a result, sales taxes take a bigger bite, percentagewise, from the paychecks of low-income households than high-income ones.)

— Suburban voters see more options in local elections this year – Jake Griffin
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190309/suburban-voters-see-more-options-in-local-elections-this-year
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For the first time in a decade, more local races will be contested this year than in the previous municipal election. In some cases, there are more contested races this year than in 2015 as well. On average, nearly 37 percent of the suburban races will be contested in those counties this election, according to a Daily Herald analysis of election data. “There’s a lot more activism and a lot more youthful activism,” said David Orr, the former Cook County clerk who retired last year. “Part of it is that people just want to get out there and make a difference. There’s also (President Donald) Trump motivating some, but not in a favorable way.” In suburban Cook County, voters will have a choice in 35.9 percent of the races this year, up from 30 percent in 2017. In DuPage County, voters have options in 37 percent of the races, versus the 31.1 percent of contested races in 2017.)

My Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, and coworkers focused on getting information about me and from me to use against me. They focused on confirming that I opposed political affiliation discrimination, that I opposed reverse discrimination, that I opposed age discrimination, that I was old (born in 1948), a draft dodger, conservative, Republican, Protestant (baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran), 100% German national origin, lived in Crete 1948-1972, my ancestors had been in America since 1844, my wife and I owned a home in Wheaton, she had a good job, we had no children, I had owned a 1972 Corvette since 1971, I was renting out a town home in University Park, GAO had forced me to take a $19,203 (26%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO, my IRS superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12, they disallowed my education deductions in 1978, they got rid of my mentor in 1975, and they disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974, my Democrat Post Office superiors had forced me resign in 1969 and had disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968, etc.)

— It’s not just the Oscars — Congress needs a representation reboot – SANGITA SIGDYAL (DIERSEN: Why stop at gender and race? What about IQ, ACT score, political affiliation, age, marital status, veteran status, national origin, religion, length of time your ancestors have been in America, income, net worth, education, professional certifications, professional licenses, height, BMI, attractiveness/handsomeness, hair color, eye color, etc.?)
https://thehill.com/opinion/civil-rights/430486-its-not-just-the-oscars-congress-needs-a-representation-reboot
(FROM THE ARTICLE: That’s not so different than our Congress, which despite the much-celebrated diversity of the newest class, remains a far cry from the gender and racial makeup of its electorate. Women represent nearly a quarter of the 116th Congress, while racial minority representation stands at about 22 percent. How does this fare with the national demographics, you might ask? The latest estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau: 13 percent African-American, 18 percent Hispanic or Latino, and half female. So why isn’t #CongressSoWhite (and male) trending on Twitter?)
