After the event, the Republican senator offered some advice for Illinois Republicans who find themselves at odds within their ranks. “Let me quote a good Illinoisan: ‘United we stand. Divided we fall,’” he said, referring to the biblical quote that Abraham Lincoln espoused. “The question is to find what unites us. I think this whole health care issue should unite us.” Also at the party: Former Congressman Bob Dold, GOP Senate Leader John Curran, GOP House Leader Tony McCombie, State Sens. Sue Rezin and Andrew Chesney, Hinsdale Village President Greg Hart, DuPage County State’s Attorney Bob Berlin, RTA Chair Kirk Dillard, former Aurora Mayor Richard Irvin, businessman Jay Bergman, Lee County Industrial Development Association’s Tom Demmer, attorney and former state Rep.

DD: While I worked for the Democrats who ran the Post Office 1966-1969, IRS 1971-1980, and GAO 1980-1997, the federal government paid 72% of my health insurance premiums. That helped me endure my Democrat superiors’ tremendous efforts to get rid of me. My critics/opponents ever-increasingly demonize, denigrate, and condemn the 72% health insurance subsidy a) that I got when I was federal employee, b) that my wife got when she was a federal employee 1968-1970, c) that I will always get as a federal retiree, and d) that my wife has gotten since we got married in 1978 and will always get.

KNIGHT KRIER
— What does your future hold? The pressures of choosing future careers in high school. DD: My father often decried his not having a college degree. That put me on track to getting one. I majored in management at UIC, NIU, and Loyola. But in retrospect, with benefit of hindsight, I should have majored in accounting. I did not because I erroneously thought I could never pass the CPA examination. I did not start taking graduate accounting courses until I was 27 in 1976. I did not take and pass the CPA examination on my first attempt until I was 30. I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting until I was 31. I did not take and pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination until I was 32. I did not become a licensed CPA until I was 32. By then, the accounting profession viewed me to be too old to have a successful career in accounting. The accounting profession would not have done that if I had been a minority or a female.
