(COMMENT: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes hint/imply/argue/shout that nobody wants to end up like me and stress the adverse actions that they have taken against me.

In 1997, in today’s dollars, my GAO salary was $136,387/year. While my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old, I have had an inflation-adjusted Civil Service Retirement System pension since then, currently $58,101/year and the federal government has paid and will pay 72% of my and my wife’s health, dental, and vision insurance for life. Since 1966, I have owned new/newer cars and since 1978, my wife and I have owned new/newer vehicles. We have been married for 44 years, we went on many short vacations to luxury spots 1978-1992 after her business trips and previously, I went on vacations in 1969, 1970, 1971, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, and 1977, we have no debts, we own 915 Cove Court in Wheaton, we own a car condo in Naperville, we own seven cars and a SUV, and my wife has substantial retirement savings. We would not have the aforesaid if we had not always been fiscally and socially conservative.)

My having earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, my taking graduate accounting courses at DePaul, and my having passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 helped get hired by GAO in 1980. My having earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, my having passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and my becoming a licensed CPA in 1981 helped me get promoted by GAO in 1986. My becoming a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, Forensic Accountant in 1997, and earning a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997 delayed my Democrat GAO superiors’ efforts to force me to take their early retirement “offer.”)

— NOVEMBER 15, 2016 FLASHBACK: 6 Things Home Sellers Are Legally Required To Disclose
(COMMENT: What if you signed a contract to buy a lot from a developer in a subdivision and to have that developer build a home on that lot, but subsequently, you learned that developer had failed to disclose a) that the subdivision was a “watershed area,” b) that the subdivision had been a septic field, c) than lot drainage problems would worsen when a home would be built uphill from the subdivision, and d) that the subdivision had at least five subterranean drainage lines that ran through it creating drainage easements? What if you subsequently learned that the developer illegally disrupted those subterranean drainage lines and improperly connected them to the city storm sewer system so that they would clog up? What if you subsequently learned that the four-home subdivision should have had four more storm sewer inlets than it had? What if you subsequently learned that the home’s footing tiles cracked before the foundation walls were poured because they were not protected from freezing temperatures? What if you subsequently learned that the home’s exterior footing titles were improperly laid? What if you subsequently learned that the city that the subdivision was built in knew all about the aforesaid, but nevertheless let it happen? What if the aforesaid caused major lot drainage problems that forced you to spend many thousands of dollars and many hundreds of hours to mitigate?)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Property drainage issues. . .“After a bit of time, the new owner started to have drainage issues and standing water in the backyard. Through legal depositions, the seller disclosed that when construction on a new development had commenced behind the home, she began to have drainage issues. The developer changed some of his grading and added drain systems to her yard, and she thought the issue was resolved. But because she never disclosed this prior issue, the new owner prevailed in his lawsuit against both the seller and her listing agent.)
