— Has J.B. Pritzker Trimmed His Taxes By Hiding Millions Offshore? (DIERSEN: How have you trimmed your taxes? Since 1972, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have been furious that I have trimmed my income taxes because I deducted mortgage interest, real estate taxes, and education expenses. Since 1984, they have been furious that I have trimmed by real estate taxes because I successfully protested the assessed valuation of 915 Cove Court in Wheaton.)

— BEHIND THE WHEEL The median annual salary for this job is $42,480. So why can’t Central Illinois companies fill them? Challenges, opportunities seen in shortage of truckers – JAYLYN COOK (DIERSEN: How bad were the jobs that you took? GAO hired me in 1980 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. IRS hired me in 1971 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. The Post Office hired me in 1966 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job.)
