Gad Group or Gag Group?

According to the Village of Bolingbrook payouts, tax payers paid the Gad Group a whopping $9,900.00 on July 26th for web page and IT services for the month. 

Although we have covered this companies political affiliations before, we know of no other company with such special favors in Bolingbrook (minus the attorney).  So let's take a look at how they did for the month to receive almost $10G of your tax money.

We went to the Village of Bolingbrook web site and the first thing we looked for was the upcoming events on the main page.  I wanted to know what was coming in August.  What I found was all old postings from events in June.  These are past events, and where are the events for July which is almost over?  Is this updated quarterly?  Where is the transparency?

This cannot be right!  If we paid someone $10G a month to work on this, and they work on it once every two months, is the hourly rate $20G? 

Well tax payers, open your eyes to favoritism on your tax dime.  Contact your local village to complain and ask it to STOP!

  1. I checked the web site. The index page has events for July and August. The calendar page has events through September.

    While the site could use a redesign, it appears to be updated regularly.

  2. Whom ever is updating it must be on crack. The front page is so outdated it is not funny. If it is true they are getting that much a month for not really doing anything, then I am upset as a tax payer.
