State of the Village should be called Scam of the Village

Every year the Chamber of Commerce makes a killing by setting up the State of the Village.  This event is where Mayor Claar presents the numbers to appear in his favor, citing growth since 1986, not in the last 5 years or even 10.  This event is charged a hefty price tag to attend and is sold out to officials that charge the taxpayers to attend the $50 per dinner.  So your local library officials are sure to attend, the Village trustees, Du Page township officials and even School officials will go for the free pricey dinner at the same ol' Golf Club.  (Free time at the Golf Club as well!) Forget including the local residents, let's fill the room with Kool Aid drinkers and donating vendors... 

For example, last year Orange Crush got a great response... weeks before Bonnie made it be known Orange Crush was not a beverage, but a mafia owned and operated, high donating, vendor of the village.

Claar is the keynote speaker for the event which hundreds are expected to attend.
The program is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. Thursday at the Bolingbrook Golf Club, 2001 Rodeo Drive.

Tickets for the luncheon are $55 for Chamber members and $75 for non-members. A portion of each ticket will be donated to a non-profit organization of Claar’s choice.  We know that will be his daughters organization or Carol's.  Notice how he does not explain this to the media?

For information, or to purchase a ticket, contact the Bolingbrook Chamber of Commerce at 630-226-8420.
