— Illinois and Cook County’s $15/hour minimum wage set to increase in January 2025. (COMMENT: I worked part-time for the minimum wage 1964-1966 washing dishes in the basement of the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights while I was a junior and senior at Crete-Monee High School. In today’s dollars, that minimum wage was $12.41/hour. With the money that I earned and saved, I bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint, a poor man’s GTO, in May of 1966.)

— Six-figure pensions are throttling Chicago’s ability to provide critical services (COMMENT: My $65,165/year Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension is a) only 43% of what my $150,075/year GAO salary was in 1997 in today’s dollars and b) less that what my $66,942/year IRS salary was in 1972 in today’s dollars. If I was still working, that is, if my Democrat GAO superiors had not forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997, a) I would not have gotten $1.8 million in CSRS pension payments since 1997 in today’s dollars and b) I would have paid into CSRS $286,262 in today’s dollar.)

This despite a Tribune Editorial Board investigation showing 40% of CTU teachers are “chronically absent.”)

During that time, I bought a new 1972 Corvette, a new town home, and a studio condo and I completed 12 graduate business courses at Loyola. Also 1976-1981 when I earned an MBA from Loyola, bought a one bedroom condo, got married and bought a home in Wheaton, passed the CPA examination on my first attempt, earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul, passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt, and became a licensed CPA. Also, 1986-1988 when GAO assigned me to audits of IRS and promoted me to GS-13 (currently $115,439/year). When were your bad old days? Mine include 1974 when my Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my travel vouchers and 1978 when then they disallowed my education deductions and after 1974 when they refused to promote me to GS-13. They include 1980 when my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to suffer a $22,996/year pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. They include 1980-1985 when they refused to assign me to audits of IRS, delayed my promotions, and refused to promote me to GS-13. They include 1989-1997 when they kept me off audits of IRS, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old.)
