(FROM THE ARTICLE: Crete Mayor Michael Einhorn said if his town is grouped in with the larger municipality of Frankfort, it will dilute eastern Will County’s representation on the board. “It’s kind of a standing joke on the eastern side like we are the forgotten people,” Einhorn said. He said the 11-district map would dilute Crete’s representation in favor of people who “don’t even have any concept of where we’re at in regards to the general geography of Will County.”)

— COMMENT: I should write a book about “zero sum.” In 1971, when I was 22 years old, Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that Oldsmobile had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. While I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government 1966-1969 and 1971-1997, they gave many pay increases, bonuses, and promotions to my lesser qualified Democrat coworkers, and especially to those who were minority, female, and/or younger than me. In 1997, when I was 49 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” so that they could give my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate, which they did.)

That made my Democrat IRS superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates furious. Virtually all of my Democrat coworkers who had been promoted over me or would soon be promoted over me a) had not taken the examination or b) had taken the examination but failed to pass all four parts.)
