Dorr follies continue

Jane Collins' excellent Letter to the Editor of the Northwest Herald on Dorr Township practices was published last Saturday. You can read it at www.nwherald.com/articles/2010/09/17/r_vlpz4grdt8yteai26rthwa/index.xml

One comment followed the story. It was by "dpierc" and posted on September 25 at 7:46 a.m.

"More like you can't trust Jane with this information. Jane wht don't you inform peolple in your letter that you turned Dorr into the Illinois EPA. How about this, we shut down Dorr's Road Department, and Jane shovels the 70 miles of roads this winter. Jane, I do not want you for my advocate, go stir up trouble somewhere else with your band of merry halfwits."

dpierc's comment is reproduced as published by the Northwest Herald, including errors.

Aside from the fact that Dorr Township is now responsible for only about 32 miles of roads, dpierce either doesn't understand the value of a resident who stands up against bureaucracy and nonsense, or he is one of those who has a vested interest in the current state of affairs.

The folly of FOIA denials continues at Dorr Township. Jane is trying to get information that the Supervisor and Trustees will use to make decisions on expansion of Township facilities. Is there anyone, other than Dorr elected officials, who could possibly think that a citizen, resident, taxpayer, voter should NOT have the right to example publicly-funded reports? I mean, besides "dpierc".

The October monthly meeting of Dorr Township officials will be held on Tuesday, October 12, at 7:30PM. Come and join the fun.
