Those who have spent their lives in the slums know nothing but that lifestyle....
when you force contracts on the taxpayer KNOWING FULL WELL that it is insanity, then the unionsist are as much to blame as anyone....
but these corrupt creeps will get the best of us..you,me and the guy next door will be working well past our normal retirement age just so we can shuffle off these govt thugs to a nice lazy exodus...
You didn’t hear about the roving gangs beating up people?....of course you didn’t......
The dumb*** Mayor never figured there was a secret bank account into which the Comptroller deposited govt funds.
Trying to explain how that much money could disappear unnoticed, braindead Mayor James Burke said Dixon has struggled financially because "the state" is far behind on income tax disbursements to munis.....(now there's a red flag is there ever was one).
How Comptroller Crundwell could sustain such an extravagant lifestyle on an $80,000 salary was mostly attributed to her success in the horse industry, the dumbest Mayor in the world stupidly said.
"She definitely was a trusted employee, although I've had some suspicion for quite a while just because of her lifestyle," Burke said in an interview.
=====================================
A Chicago-based corruption watchdog, the Better Government Association, called Dixon a wakeup call for state and local officials to put in place better safeguards, especially in smaller towns that lack rigorous oversight.
"Tens of billions of our tax dollars flow through 7,000 plus units of government in Illinois every year. And we can only watch a few of them," said the association's president, Andy Shaw.
"Most of them don't have inspector generals. Most of them don't have auditor generals. Most of them don't have watchdog groups looking closely.... It's ripe for rip-offs."
