According to his press release, Robert Kalnicky will be running for the 98th state representative seat in November 2012. Kalnicki is the founder of the Bolingbrook Tea Party movement since 2010. He has a long standing membership in the exclusively corrupt DuPage County Republican Committee, as a board member. On top of that, he holds a PAID position with CSC, which earns him a salary of over $30K per year paid for by donations from DuPage Township and the Village of Bolingbrook. Yes, these donations were taken out of your taxes.
For a year we have screamed conflict of interest. We wrote stories about his board position at the library and how he wanted to donate the old furniture to the organization instead of putting the profits back in taxpayers hands. Leading the "First Pary of Bolingbrook" committee last April elections, one of his candidate was accused of stealing signs and being verbally abusive. His party did not comment. His campaign involvement in two election seasons seem to lead to his political party behind the stealing of many signs, trying to destroy the competition, and keeping the competition off the ballots. He stomped on the rights of others while playing a dirty game.
So why would he run for State Senate when it is a very likely that residents do not want to vote for a "dirty tea party candidate" that has been the subject of much controversy?
1. What about the fact that tea party members are suppose to cut spending, yet while he has served on the library board they have increased spending?
2. What about all those free trips he took and money put in the kitty instead of paying the residents back?
3. What is he really, since he is NOT following Tea Party Principals or Republican spending cuts?
We do not know, but some say his direct link to the Socialist political parties in Bolingbrook make him one and the same. If you support them, run their elections for them, and fund raise for them, does that not make you one of them?
We can't wait to see why he has decided to run, as the motive seems pretty clear. To our Watch Dog group the motive is simple, gain the socialists power and control the money.
We have already been seeing propaganda pieces in local papers supporting this man and his run. As they say in the stores when presented with a scam... Buyer beware!
So tell me, is he running for a Senate seat or a representative seat... you mention both. Or is he running for both?????
ReplyDeleteBonnie, great article.
ReplyDeleteWhen I read the article about Bob Kalinicy running, I thought it was very unusual. How does an avowed Tea Party Candidate envision winning over moderate to liberal Republicans, let alone working Americans-who don't identify with the Tea Baggers?
ReplyDeleteThe Tea Baggers answer only to the Koch Brothers and other right wing extremists, as well as Big Business. We can only hope a moderate candidate announces sometime soon.
Please. Kalnicky might claim to be a tea party supporter but his actions dictate that he is just like the rest of the left wing republicans in Will County. What we need is a fiscal conservative on the ballot not another George Ryan Wanabee
ReplyDeleteKalnicky wants to run because the power and money for his political party. He wants to be more then a Library board member and wants more free vacations.
ReplyDeleteHow do you know that Bonnie wrote the article?
ReplyDeleteKalnicky is fully loaded with propaganda waiting to spill out. He has been a part of the political party that has taken Bolingbrook down over the past 5 years and will continue to be seen as the enemy NOT to vote for.
ReplyDeleteThe Tea Party stands for balanced budgets, cutting government waste, and traditional moral values. Haven't seen Kalnicky support any of these issues. Can you share a link that shows where Kalnicky claims to have founded a Bolingbrook Tea Party? Thank you.
