CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Pritzker signs ‘right-to-die’ legislation for terminally ill people to end their lives in Illinois. The new law, which takes effect next September, opens the door for people 18 or older with a terminal diagnosis to be prescribed a fatal drug.

— Illinois’ political tensions nothing compared to failed redistricting push in Indiana. Indiana Republicans’ arguments against the bill were sound, not only because they were under so much pressure from D.C., but because it just wasn’t the right thing to do. DD: What about the gerrymandered Illinois 3rd Congressional District?

— DD: Censures and attempts to censure are always big news. I should write about my unsuccessful attempt by my critics/opponents to get the Illinois Center Right Coalition to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006. I would focus on my critics/opponents who continue to have their operatives and their dupes take adverse actions against me.

CAPITOL FAX
— Illinois very near its 15-year goal of 60 percent of adults holding ‘postsecondary credentials.’ DD: None of my peers hold anywhere near as many credentials as I have. I have a) three master’s degrees (business-1976, accounting-1980, and finance-1997), b) six professional certifications (accounting-1979, internal auditing-1981, fraud examination-1990, government financial management-1994, financial services auditing-1996, and forensic accounting-1997, and c) a professional license (CPA-1981). Since I was 27 years old in 1976, my critics/opponents have ever-increasingly ignored/dismissed/belittled my credentials. But worse than that, they have ever-increasingly used them against me. They ever-increasingly hint/imply/argue/shout that anyone with as many credentials I have should have had a far more successful career than I had. They stress that my ending federal salary in 1997 was only $153,151/year in today’s dollars. They stress the many adverse actions that my superiors in the federal government took against me. They stress that Republican candidates, elected officials, and party leaders in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton continue to ignore/dismiss/belittle my credentials. They ever-increasingly hint/imply/argue/shout that my lack of career success and Republican ignoring/dismissing/belittling of my credentials is because I am an extremely bad person.
