From Joe Ptak:
Our past two (2) mayors have been indicted, along with other village personnel. In the last three (3) years our town has spent $684,316 for "legal" services ($250,000 in 2010). People tell me we live in a small corrupt town (pop. 8,080), with a shady past, and I should be careful with what I say. Since 2000, our town has lost 6% of its total population, while all surrounding towns have experienced a growth in their population. Twice in my life I have had to take the following oath...once as a new citizen to our country and once when I volunteered to serve in our military: "...I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same;..." I intend to take that oath one more time as a new Trustee on the Island Lake Village Board. The pay for VOIL Trustee is $100.00 per meeting. The cost of freedom is much higher. Please help my running mates Shannon Fox, Thea Morris and me to reclaim our small but proud town. |
