— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Anti-Rauners again say the IPI cartoon is racist and again say that Rauner “has continually refused to say not only whether he believes it is racist – but if he has even seen it.” Those who do not read GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails are far less likely to know anything about the cartoon.

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/editorials/ct-edit-franks-annex-sanitary-consolidate-0822-jm-20170821-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Gov. Bruce Rauner signed a bill Aug. 14 that empowers counties across Illinois to dissolve layers of unnecessary government. Wouldn’t you know it? One suburban government already laid plans to twist through a loophole and preserve itself. Taxpayers, you might want to pay attention to this heist, which McHenry County Board Chairman Jack Franks, a Democrat, attributes to one-party rule. No, not Democratic rule in Cook County. Franks indicts Republican Party dominance in McHenry County.)

If I sought a government office or a political office, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes would shout that I did not take any written tests to become a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, a Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, a Certified Financial Services Manager in 1996, and a Forensic Accountant in 1997 because those certifications were new back then and I grand fathered in. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 and I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. I became a licensed CPA in 1981. I worked for GAO 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13, Step 1-10 levels, currently $94,610-$122,991.

NATIONAL LAW REVIEW
— Illinois Next to Prohibit Salary History Inquiries? (DIERSEN: If you are/were a government employee, everyone who wants to can find out what your salary is/was and then publish that. They use that information to viciously demonize, to viciously denigrate, and to viciously condemn government employees as being overpaid. They want cheap labor. Many millions have not and will not seek a job with the federal government a) because the pay and benefits are terrible, b) because the advancement opportunities are terrible, c) because they lack required education, work experience, professional certifications, and/or professional licenses, d) because they cannot pass an employment examination, e) because they cannot pass a background investigation, f) because they cannot pass a physical examination, g) because they cannot take the demonization, denigration, and condemnation that comes with being a federal employee or federal retiree, and/or h) because they are Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran and they know that the federal government discriminates against the aforesaid.)
