Bridge to Naperville isn't needed

So Naperville does not want the Kings Road Bridge.  Bolingbrook residents do not want to pay for it.  Native Americans will picket the construction, since it is the ONLY Native American artifact site found in our area.  So why are we doing this?

Money, money, money.

Roger Claar receives much of his campaign money from construction companies.  His million dollar war chest is not enough for him.  He needs more.  Where there is construction, there is payouts.  We don't kid ourselves anymore into make believe, where there is really a "lowest bidder" that is NOT a contributor, that will get this gig.

However, look at the morals this breaks.  First, tax the residents without a referendum for spending over $6 million to build a bridge.  What about building a $6 Million dollar nature museum with the land and the artifacts, so we don't destroy our history of Bolingbrook (pre-Roger) and bring in tourism?  Furthermore, Naperville does not want this bridge built, nor do the residents that live on either side of it.

Then take a look at the only benefit to this project... Roger gets more rich. 
Hmmmm, I think the oath he took for office that stated he would work on behalf of the citizens of Bolingbrook was a lie.  Weigh in on what you think!
