DAILY HERALD
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH BIG PICTURE OF ANDERSON: A handful of politicians (Janice Anderson, Mark Curran, Paul Froehlich, Pete DiCianni) switch parties, citing extremism. Others question their motives.
https://www.dailyherald.com/20240207/local-politics/a-handful-of-politicians-switch-parties-citing-extremism-others-question-their-motives/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Jim Zay, the DuPage Republican Party chairman and the longest-serving county board member, suggests switching parties is an opportunistic move. Zay remembers when Democratic candidates would lose and then run under the GOP banner. Roger Kotecki, for instance, ran unsuccessfully as a Democrat in 1988 before winning a county board seat as a Republican in 1990. Now Democrats hold the county board majority in DuPage, a traditional GOP bastion. “They’re taking advantage of this situation where they think, ‘The Republican Party’s done in DuPage, and so I’m going to jump on board the Democratic side here and run for office and nobody will know,’” Zay said. “And I think the voters in DuPage County are a lot smarter than that.”)
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH BIG PICTURE: Naperville residents denounce McBroom’s ‘polite challenge’ to house migrants – Alicia Fabbre
https://www.dailyherald.com/20240207/news/naperville-residents-denounce-mcbrooms-polite-challenge-to-house-migrants/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Naperville residents Tuesday blasted City Councilman Josh McBroom, describing his idea of a volunteer signup sheet to house migrants as disingenuous and nothing more than a political stunt. McBroom drew national media attention following a Jan. 16 council meeting during which he suggested the city should look into creating a signup sheet for residents interested in housing new arrivals. In the days after the meeting, McBroom, a Republican, said his proposal was a “polite challenge” to those who support open borders. A week later, McBroom and three other council members who supported the notion withdrew the request and the city manager issued a memo stating city staff would not look into the proposal and it would not come before council for further discussion. “It has been astonishing to hear a council member declare with baseless conviction that Naperville residents are hypocrites about supporting people in need because they didn’t sign a nonexistent form,” resident Meena Banasiak said. “Instead of making an earnest effort to find common ground among different perspectives you provide a disingenuous proposal that needlessly insulted our residents and diverted attention from solving the actual problem to ridiculing people who want a real solution.” Banasiak was among the more than 150 people who attended Tuesday’s meeting, which included public comment from more than 30 residents. Though several focused on McBroom, others requested a resolution from the city council supporting a cease-fire in Gaza and addressed issues such as controversy surrounding this year’s social service agency grant awards and the resignation of a human rights and fair housing commission member. Banasiak and others called on council members to censure McBroom. Though some council members expressed disappointment in the events since Jan. 16, they did not discuss or indicate support for censure. After Tuesday’s meeting, McBroom said that while many who spoke offered to help — either through donations or programs — he did not hear anyone offer to house any migrants in their homes. Earlier this month, McBroom sent a letter to Texas Gov. Gregg Abbott thanking him for his leadership with the migrant crisis and shared his volunteer signup sheet proposal. “Democrat legislators helped to create this mess and now the rest of us are left paying the bill,” McBroom wrote. “Many of my colleagues and fellow residents are quick to support the idea of welcoming and supporting new migrants, but no one is willing to invite them into their home. And my statement proved that.” McBroom repeated similar sentiments Tuesday and remained steadfast in his belief that taxpayers should not foot the bill for new arrivals. In January, Gov. J.B. Pritzker announced another $11 million in state grants would be made available to municipalities to assist new arrivals.

Pritzker announced another $11 million in state grants would be made available to municipalities to assist new arrivals. “I don’t want to use tax dollars, I don’t want to take state aid,” McBroom said after Tuesday’s meeting. Naperville Mayor Scott Wehrli said the city has not applied for state grant funding to assist migrants. He added that any grant application would have to come before the council. Though the city has not received buses carrying migrants from Texas in recent weeks, Wehrli said the city intends to follow its plan and provide safe passage to new arrivals to the landing zone in Chicago. “I don’t want to use tax dollars, I don’t want to take state aid,” McBroom said after Tuesday’s meeting.

— Earning A Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting: Everything You Need To Know – Ilana Hamilton and Brenna Swanston (COMMENT: Majoring in management instead of accounting at UIC 1966-1968, NIU 1969-1970, and Loyola 1972-1976 was one of my biggest mistakes. By the time I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 when I was 30 years old, because I am a White male, I was viewed as being much too old to have a successful career in accounting. Accounting firms were never interested in me because they were under tremendous pressure from Democrat politicians to hire Democrats who were minority, female, and/or young. I became a licensed CPA when I was 32 in 1981. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I worked for GAO 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $115,439-$150,075/year. I worked for IRS 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step-1-5 Levels, currently $97,079-$110,020/year. If had been a minority or a female, I would have gotten many job offers from accounting firms.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Since SCOTUS issued its decision banning race-based affirmative action in education, multiple lawsuits have been filed against companies because of their DEI programs. PwC, an accounting firm with 46,000 US employees, was one of the companies targeted by anti-DEI activist group America First Legal in 2023 following the affirmative action decision. The group, led by Stephen Miller, said that PwC’s Start internship and scholarship programs, which only accepted applicants from underrepresented groups, could be illegal, the Financial Times reported.

— My critics/opponents applaud my Democrat GAO superiors for their forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old so that they could my job and my preferred corner office to my Democrat Black CPA subordinate, which is exactly what they did. It is called political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.
