— CONSERVATIVES prep legal challenge to HB40 – Natasha Korecki

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Conservative House Rep. Peter Breen plans to announce today a concerted pushback to the HB40 abortion bill just signed into law — including legal action and a new legislative proposal. “We’re going to be dropping a bill on the House and Senate on prohibiting taxpayer funding of abortion,” Breen, who is also the Republican House floor leader, told POLITICO. The proposed legislation is not an attempt to repeal the full HB40 abortion bill that Gov. Bruce Rauner signed into law, setting off a firestorm within his own party. This legislation, according to Breen, would focus on the taxpayer funding portion of the HB40 and not the trigger law. Breen described the legislation as modeled off the federal Hyde Amendment. “This bill really is a fresh start. That was always the real problem with HB40, was the taxpayer funding of abortion.” Whether the potential legislation has hope of surviving in a Democratic-dominated General Assembly is another question, however. Legal challenge — Breen, an attorney for the Thomas More Society, said there’s movement to contest HB40 in court, arguing that the effective date in the bill is in error. Instead of Jan. 1, it should be June 1st, Breen argues, since the bill wasn’t released until well past May 31. Democrats used a parliamentary move to delay sending HB40 — and other bills — to the governor for months. Breen said a lawsuit could work to put on trial that practice, which he argues goes against the spirit of the law. “That is worth filing a lawsuit. The Democrats have been playing games with this on multiple bills. Holding bills over until after May 31 is not in the constitution. That is something we are very actively pursuing,” Breen said. “At the very least what our argument would be, is it can’t be effective until June 1st.” That five months means the state wouldn’t pick up the cost of potentially thousands of publicly-funded abortions, he said. The Illinois Dept. of Public Health reports more than 39,000 abortions in Illinois in 2015.)
— BANNON-LED REBELLION Could Bannon back an anti-Rauner candidate? – Natasha Korecki

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Could Bannon back an anti-Rauner candidate? “Inside Bannon’s plans for a GOP civil war,” by Axios’ Mike Allen: ‘Bannon is also exploring gubernatorial and House races. As Bannon told Fox’s Sean Hannity this week: ‘Nobody’s safe. We’re coming after all of them.’ ‘Steve views this thing as a coalition,’ says a source familiar with his plans. ‘It’s a coalition of populists, constitutional conservatives and more libertarian types. But they all agree on Bannon’s core issues of trade and immigration.’ The GOP establishment is skeptical but scared … Bannon can sound delusional about his power to disrupt the party. But make no mistake: the combo of his fame with the base + access to Mercer money + true belief in America first policies = big trouble for establishment Republicans in 2018 and beyond. If Bannon were to field the slate he envisions, the Republican Party would have a civil war on its hands that makes 2010 look like a tea party.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: So, who is more of a traitorous S.O.B.: a person who ducks military service and then stands when he hears the anthem or one who serves and takes a knee during the anthem to protest its broken promises? I ask these questions not to further divide the already divided. I hope it will make someone stop and consider how it is possible that some of us could question the symbolism of the flag or the anthem and not be thought of as traitors or S.O.B.s, but as American citizens exercising a constitutional right.)

I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32.)
http://www.thetelegraph.com/opinion/110661/editorial-diploma-change-provides-second-chance-for-many
(FROM THE ARTICLE: While it’s admirable that about 750,000 people each year work to improve themselves by taking the GED test — and the perseverance and learning required should not be dismissed — there are conflicting studies as to whether it really helps. Many employers say they see little difference between someone with a GED and someone who dropped out of school when it comes to hiring practices. That has disproportionately affected women and minorities both nationally and in Illinois. According to U.S. Census Bureau data, 13 percent of Illinoisans over age 25 do not have a high school diploma. For Hispanics in state, the number hovers around 38 percent. It is about 15 percent for African-Americans in Illinois.)

— Thrift Savings Plan success stories: Share them, or bury them? – Mike Causey
https://federalnewsradio.com/mike-causey-federal-report/2017/10/tsp-success-stories-share-them-or-bury-them/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Many readers can’t get information about fellow feds or retirees who are self-made millionaires. They like to know how it happened, how long it took and if there are any secret strategies. The answer is that of the thousands of civil servants who racked up million-dollar-plus accounts, most were longtime (28 years, on average) investors. They also invested heavily (sometimes exclusively) in the stock indexed C, S and I funds. During the Great Recession (2008) they did not get out of the stock market. They continued to buy — at what turned out to be bargain prices for shares — even though, for several years, the value of their accounts kept going down. While most appear interested in the subject, and hopeful of becoming self-made millionaires, three readers have objected. All for the same reason: If the general public hears about millionaire feds, even if they are totally self-made, it will go hard for all federal workers in general. They have a point. Up to a point. But it can also show that even modestly paid feds can accumulate a retirement nest egg by saving and investing wisely. And over a long period of time.)
