CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— DuPage County auditor’s office requests help after nearly four years of dysfunction – GEORGE WIEBE  (COMMENT: I have watched the DuPage County Auditor’s office for 38 years, since 1986 when I was a GAO Analyst and the membership director of the Association of Government Accountants (AGA) Chicago Chapter. I had served its Treasurer 1983-1986. I had worked for GAO for 6 years. I had become a Certified Internal Auditor and licensed CPA in 1981. I had earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I had worked for IRS 1971-1980. I worked hard as AGA Chicago Chapter’s membership director 1986-1996 to recruit DuPage County auditor office professional employees to join AGA. I worked hard to elect Jim Rasins County Auditor in 2000 and 2004. I worked hard to elect Bob Grogan County Auditor in 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2020. Of course, I am working hard to elect Grogan this year. Grogan’s deputy was Peter Balgemann who is one of my relatives.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/06/25/dupage-county-auditors-office-requests-help-after-nearly-four-years-of-dysfunction/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For nearly four years, the DuPage County Auditor’s office has not provided a quarterly financial report, a detailed accounting of the county government’s revenues, appropriations, expenditures, and encumbrances. The reports, which are mandated by the State of Illinois, came to a halt shortly after a razor thin election in 2020, in which the current auditor Bill White won by a 75-vote margin, later reduced to 58 votes following a recount against Bob Grogan. Not long after the election, several key staff members from the auditor’s office resigned. “We had a king-sized bed of obligations and a queen-sized sheet of resources,” White said during Tuesday’s county board meeting. “Our target is to complete the quarterly reports by the end of July, we’ll do it the old-fashioned way, the manual way.” The auditor’s office was offered additional staff, according to DuPage County Board Chair Deborah Conroy, but the real hindrance was technology. Going forward the auditor’s office is requesting additional software to help automate the reporting process, White said. But some county board members were left questioning why it has taken so long to get up to speed. “If you needed help why didn’t you come to the board … four years without quarterly reports, it is unacceptable,” District 5 Commissioner Dawn DeSart said during the meeting. Every year the county receives an external audit report from the Chicago-based accounting firm Baker Tilly, however, these reports lack the detailed examination expected from the auditor’s office. “The internal audit looks way more into the minuscule, detailed items, plus the external auditor does not detect fraud … this is where our internal auditor comes in,” District 1 Commissioner Cindy Cahill said during Tuesday’s meeting. Also delayed is the auditor’s report on the county clerk’s office, which came under the scrutiny of the board and DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office, after $224,000 in invoices submitted for purchases were not properly approved or made without going through a bidding process. The report cannot be publicly released until the clerk’s office receives and has a chance to reply to its contents, according to White. The clerk’s office will have a week to respond, White said. “We need it done, the people of DuPage need it done, this is what you’re elected to do and frankly there’s no excuse,” Cahill said.)

— The Ultimate Guide to Successful Event Promotion (COMMENT: I am increasingly reluctant to promote political events in GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters unless the event organizer specifically asks me to. Too often, since 2000, event organizers have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that those who read my newsletters are White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things. Too often, they have blamed me and have blamed my newsletters for their event failures.)

The opinions that I express in GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails are based on experience that I have gained doing many things since 1948. I base my opinions on what I learned a) working for the federal government for almost 30 years -- Post Office 1966-1969, IRS 1971-1980, and GAO 1980-1997, serving on the Executive Committee of the Association of Government Accountants Chicago Chapter 1983-1996, and being a union member while I worked for the Post Office and IRS; b) earning an MBA from Loyola in 1976, a masters degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, and a masters degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997; c) passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 and passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981; c) serving as a Republican Precinct Committeeman since 1999, the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000, the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois Chairman 2005-2012, a member of the 2008 Illinois Republican Party (IRP) Platform and Resolutions Committee, a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member 2003-2011, the Milton Township Republican Central Committee webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007, and an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member 2001-2004; d) attending the 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012, and 2016 IRP State Conventions as a delegate; e) being the subject of a nasty 4-page article in the February 1978 issue of Money Magazine; f) pursing litigation including Diersen v.
