Island Lake Clerk gives only one week notice

Why would the Village of Island Lake Clerk, Pam Miller, resign on just one week's notice, and especially with Election Day's being only one week away? This leaves that little town in a very precarious position. Is there a Deputy Clerk to take over? I doubt it.

Her resignation was announced today. Actually, I'm not sure just what a village clerk does on election day. Isn't it the County that conducts the voting business? Maybe the village clerk really doesn't have much to do that day but turn on the lights and make the coffee.

Island Lake seems to be suffering more than its share of conflicts and difficulties.

Read www.theblog1.com/ about this and also about the Great Sign War of 2011. Look especially at the e-mail exchange between Trustees Laurie Rabattini and Connie Mascillino. Laurie asked Connie what Connie's position was in regard to political signs being placed in front of a home against the homeowner's wishes. That's pretty straight forward; right?

Two candidates in the People's Choice Party were caught putting up election signs in the front yard (parkway) of R.I.G.H.T. Party candidate Joe Ptak. Is this small-mindedness to the nth degree?

But read the exchange between Laurie and Connie. See if you can figure out why Connie wouldn't just say in plain English whether or not she agreed with the action of the two candidates of the People's Choice Party. She ducked it six ways from Sunday.
