Don't miss the three-part series on McHenry County Blog (www.mchenrycountyblog.com/) about the proposed Lakewood Sportsplex. Part 1 was published Friday and contained this:
“As you can see the proposal was, if not a scam, an amateurish, ill-conceived plan filled with errors, unverified assumptions and seems devoid of any substantive research."
Not exactly words of praise or designed to stir the passions of residents, taxpayers and neighbors. Right?
Who wrote it?
Joseph L. Daleiden, former Economic Advisor to the Executive Office of the White House, Office of Management and the Budget, during the Carter Administration, in a critique of the feasibility study submitted by the SportsPlex developers to the Upper Illinois River Valley Development Authority (UIRVDA). Daleiden is also a former Director of Corporate Planning for Illinois Bell and Ameritech.
Part 2 is running today on McHenry County Blog, and Part 3 will run tomorrow.

The area minor league teams are failing why add another? The Schumburg team is bankrupt, the Kane County Cougars are in financial trouble and the K-Nines can't get funding yet we need a sports complex?
How short memories are. The first chice for the Kane County Cougars was Huntley but that got shot down and they moved south.
Here's are REAL memory buster. In 1974 the first choice for GREAT AMERICA SIX FLAGS was just West of Huntley....oh no that will bring in carny trash. Look at Gurnee today and the taxes they bring in.
Land grab and more taxes
