CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— With former Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner out of state’s political scene,
Illinois GOP turns to grassroots fundraising – RICK PEARSON (DIERSEN: What
motivates you to donate money to Republican political organizations? For me, it
is their demonstrating that they can and will help elect candidates who can and
will defend and advance the Illinois Republican Party platform and the
Republican Party platform.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/politics/ct-without-rauner-illinois-republicans-turn-to-grassroots-fundraising-20191014-uis6mwbrcvc3veh662sfqfofci-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In
its last filing with the State Board of Elections, the state GOP reported
having $88,412 in cash on hand as of June 30. Rauner’s last donation to the
state party, totaling $100,000, came two days after Democrat J.B. Pritzker
defeated him for governor, 55% to 39%. Pritzker’s victory has turned the tables
on Republicans. The Democrat is the country’s wealthiest politician, worth $3.4
billion and ranking 250th on the Forbes 400 list of wealthy Americans.
President Donald Trump comes in at 275th on the list with a net worth of $3.1
billion. Pritzker gave his campaign $172 million and his campaign fund has
given the state Democratic Party nearly $3.2 million, state campaign finance
records show.)

prospects before they apply Before many

MacMillan and Nick Anderson (DIERSEN: What score would you have gotten? My
score would have been low. While I took college preparatory classes, I just
barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class and my ACT score was
only 24. Neither of my parents had attended college. My father was the first of
his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high
school. I spent my junior and senior years and the summer in between washing
dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresges in Chicago
Heights. I was 1-A for draft notwithstanding the fact that my eyesight could
not be corrected to 20/20, I had partial red/green color blindness, and I had

FEDERAL TIMES
— OPM wants agencies to be more flexible when disciplining feds – Jessie Bur
(DIERSEN: My Democrat GAO superiors punished me. They forced me to retire in
1997 when I was 49 years old, gave me unfair performance expectations and
appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for
pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my
mentor in 1987, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years
that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take a $19,568 (21%) pay cut in today’s
dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors punished
me. They did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in
1978, got rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem
claims in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors punished me. They forced me
resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)
