Quigley costs taxpayers on Boston Conference last year

Do we want to re-elect officials who party like its 1999?  What about if we told you it was paid for by tax payers?  Last year Steve Quigley attended a conference with Mike Evans and had a great time.  Then, he asked for we the taxpayers to pay his partying costs.

We FOIAed the costs and expenses last year.  This is what they gave us.



We asked for a breakdown of the $501.28.  They refused to give it.  They stated it was "personal".
We reminded then that nothing is personal if you used taxpayers money to reimburse him.  We should NOT be paying for Quigley's lap dances--the arrogance!
They responded with "we cannot give this information."
We responded "just tell us if this is the hotel, airfare, or other expenses."
They responded "other expenses placed on his own credit cards".

We want to know if the Boston Baseball game, the drinking tab, and the wild party was on that credit card.
Why would they reject the FOIA request?  If it is personal and not business, then why did we reimburse them?

This is the same man running for office.  He is the chair of the school board and responsible for the largest part of your home tax bill.  Is this the kind of person we need in charge?  Think before you vote and vote the incumbents out!

Remember this picture of the "education" conference fully billed to we the taxpayers when you do....

  1. The picture says it all. Don't forget DuPage Township Supervisor, Bill Mayer. He partied with them. What about the man-on-man picture they are so famous for?
