— Appointment of former Mount Prospect trustee leads to complaints about lack of diversity – Steve Zalusky (COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, under the Democrats and under the RINOs, everyone is under ever-increasing pressure to discriminate against those who are Republican, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-veteran, non-poor, conservative, Christian, Protestant, German American, those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time, etc. Outstandingly, notwithstanding the aforesaid pressure, the Democrats who ran a) GAO hired me in 1980, promoted me in 1986, and let me work there until 1997, b) IRS hired me in 1971 and promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974 and let me work there until 1980, and c) the Post Office hired me in 1966 and let me work there until 1969. However, outrageously, even though I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, I became a licensed CPA in 1981, I served as the treasurer of the Association of Government Accountants Chicago Chapter 1983-1986, I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, I became a Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, I became a Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, I became a Forensic Accountant in 1997, and I served as the Illinois Center Right Coalition Treasurer 2003-2006, the RINOs who dominate the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) have made it tremendously clear that they do not want me to serve as the organization’s treasurer. To this day, those RINOs crow about the success of their negative campaign to defeat me when I ran for the open MTRO Treasurer position in 2004.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Mount Prospect Mayor Paul Hoefert appointed former political rival William Grossi to a seat on the village’s finance commission this week, a move that drew criticism from those calling for more diversity on the town’s volunteer commissions. Hoefert cited the accounting credentials and educational background of Grossi, a former village trustee who ran against Hoefert for mayor in the spring, for his appointment. But Trustees Peggy Pissarreck and Terri Gens voted against it, saying Hoefert missed an opportunity to appoint a qualified woman or a person of color instead. “I am troubled that you have passed over the opportunity to appoint a female person of color with a law degree and a regulatory background who expressed interest months ago,” Pissarreck said. Finance commission member Yulia Bjekic also was critical of the appointment. “I feel we are past the point of walking the talk on diversity, equity and inclusion. We talk about it, and you continue to appoint and reappoint Caucasian males to commissions, and that is unfortunate,” she said. However, Hoefert said the candidate mentioned by Pissarreck expressed interest in the finance commission specifically only two weeks ago, while Grossi applied in May. Trustee Colleen Saccotelli, who supported the appointment, cited Grossi’s past work on the village’s audit committee and his “tremendous experience and institutional knowledge.” Also voting in favor were Trustees John Matuszak and Richard Rogers. Trustee Augie Filippone abstained. Former Trustee Michael Zadel also defended the appointment. “The finance commission is, in fact, one of the most diverse commissions that we have,” he said. “There are not all white Caucasians who have been appointed to this commission over the years.”)
