To the residents from Bonnie

It is disheartening that a long term resident like myself, who spent a great deal of money this year to maintain my residency despite what was thrown at me, is not able to run for office because the Mayor has a personal issue against me.  This started almost two years ago when I ran against him. 

Despite the claims I was not a resident, I had a right to keep my residency status in Bolingbrook while I vacationed and worked elsewhere for a few months.  My home was maintained and I continued to visit during that time.  Many people do not realize that I am a traveling consultant.  Trustee Morelli travels a great deal to and is allowed to maintain his residency and board position.  This would seem slanted and highly biased.

 Even Rahm Emmanuel was granted ballot access and did not have his home anymore.  I had all the same proof of residency that any other resident had.  I followed and obeyed all the laws to updating my Drivers License when I moved from one address to another in Bolingbrook.  I paid property taxes.  I voted locally.  I can own ten homes, and that does not matter.  What matters is where I register my plates, votes, and drivers license.  That is my primary residents, my home, my community, my love... Bolingbrook.

I firmly believe that the process was based off of feelings, as there was no LAW to back up my being removed.  They can claim it is a lawsuit, but lawsuits do not establish residency.  If that is the case, maybe we should file a lawsuit in Naperville so our kids can attend school there instead???

It was a kangaroo court with Mr. Claar leading the pack.  His goal is to keep me from the ballot, just like last year.  The same attorney was against me...  I am a threat to their way of life, which includes high taxation, high spending, and being non-transparent. 

I have a few days to decide my next course of actions.  I have a few options... I can appeal and get on the ballot.  I can give that money to another candidate.  I can save that money in my run for Mayor in 2013.  I will let you know when I decide! 

Thanks for all the support...
