— Judge Offers Novel Interpretation of Experience Range in Job Advertisement –
Patricia Barnes (DIERSEN: What work experience do you have? I have 20 years
experience serving as the GOPUSA Illinois Editor. I have 7 years experience
serving as the chairman of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois. I have almost 18
years experience working for GAO, that last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step
1-10 levels, currently $98,198-$127,654/year. I have almost 9 years experience
working for IRS, that last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels,
currently $82,579-$93,592/year. I should write a book about those who have
demonized, denigrated, and condemned my work experience the most. I would focus
on those who claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican. I would
focus on those in Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, Milton Township, DuPage County, and
Illinois who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial
clout. I would focus on those who blame me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails for
their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s
problems. I would especially focus on those who blame me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS
emails for all the defeats that Republicans have suffered in Illinois since
2000.)
