Decision smells ... okay

Let’s hear it for the “little guy.” Who says that the “little guy” can’t stand up to government and win?

Island Lake resident Bob Wargaski didn’t want the Village of Island Lake to put in a well near his property. He was worried about his property values and the impact on his own private well.

How did he stop Island Lake?

He put in a pig farm. Not a massive mud hole with hundreds of little piggies running around (and we all know they don’t stay “little” for long).

Three little piggies. There must be some significance to the number.

Yesterday the Illinois EPA stopped the Village of Island Lake in its muck (errrr, mud), by denying Island Lake’s application for its well.

Three cheers for Bob W.

But wait. VoIL will not go down without a fight. The Village coffers are flush with the recent windfall, and the water guy from the Village promises a fight.

Whatever happened to gracious defeat?
