Public becoming increasingly fed up with public masters — er, servants
Washington Examiner ^ | 8/20/2010 | David Freddoso

In Chicago:

Dozens of Highland Park residents confronted their Park District commissioners Thursday night, demanding that they resign for approving a series of exorbitant bonuses, salary increases and pension boosting payouts to top district executives between 2005 and 2008.

What, don’t these people understand what public life is all about in Crook County?

That is what the Tea Party movement is all about. The people taking back control of the government. Not letting the party bosses select who runs for office. Make these people accountable.

“Public becoming increasingly fed up with puppet masters”...

Highland Park is a far northern suburb of Chicago.

“Take This Regime and Shove It!”

Has anyone ever heard Imam Obama ridicule muslims for clinging to their religion and guns?

Has anyone seen Imam Obama at a pig roast?

And why was the West Wing covered with a tarp?

THE BEES KNOW

Did Highland Park officials loot the city treasury for themselves as they laid off other city workers? Did officials fleece residents with illegal, high property tax bills? Did Highland Park officials get loans from the city treasury? Were the loans paid back?

RED FLAG Officials of Highland Park filed numerous official documents to obtain govt monies. Taxpayers should demand to know the scope and dimension of deceptive and intentionally ambiguous information contained therein.

Highland Park officials may have violated RICO (the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) by generating fraudulent documents to extort taxpayers and steal govt monies.

L/E should place a hold on all Highland Park documents. Stealing and conveying (or destroying) official govt records nets 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

L/E should also look at Computer Trespass--a class C felony if access is made with the intent to commit a crime and/or the violation involves a computer or database maintained by a government agency.

ACTION Examine all Highland Park officials' perks, expense accounts, unauthorized 6-figure bonuses, pensions, tax-evading annuities, loans, etc. etc etc.

Highland Park officials' tax returns will reveal their actual income compared with actual govt outlays (these figures may not jive). In particular, examine “interest income” on Highland Park officials' IRS returns. Stolen money is taxable.

=========================================

Have Highland Park's highly-paid officials lost their pensions, yet? Insider collusion to dupe taxpayers is actionable. Jailtime is a MUST. But does it apply to Democrats?

Ya look at government facilities, from the city, to the county, to the state to the federal level, they stated turning these into armed secured fortresses years ago...CCTV cameras, bullet resistant windows, armed guards, scanners, searches, dogs, metal detectors, automated vehicle barriers and on and on...

Ya think they saw what was coming?

This move in Highland Park emanates from the conspiracy among numerous Bell, Cali city officials to extort taxpayers.

Bell's outrageous finances created an earthquake rumbling across the country. EVERY government body is checking salaries, etc, and posting them online.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Highland Park is Congressman Mark Kirks district. Nuff said.

Highland Park is an affluent Chicago suburb with a large Jewish population, a Democrat stronghold. I’m pleased to see these protesters be fed up with their local government’s spending. Now, if they can only begin to see the light on a State and National level.
