Many people would raise an eye if R. Emanuel opened up city hall for Muslim or any other prayer. Chicago residents would be paying for clean up and set up of the facility, as well as overseeing the event.
However, Bolingbrook Mayor Roger Claar has no shame when he opened the door for a Muslim religious event at the tax payer paid Golf Club.
One residents wrote in to say the following:
"This means that my tax dollars went to hosting a religious event, one of which was not asked of the public before hand. I feel like Mr. Claar is using the tax payer building as his own and offering what he should not." This tax payer is not alone. We received another complaint just the other day.
"I think hosting a free event at the golf Club is considered favortism. Bolingbrook residents know that the leader of this organization is well connected. It falls in line with H20 getting to use the golf club for free too. However, this is my tax money and I am yelling for it to stop before I take it to the top! Join with me int he fight to stop the Bolingbrook corrupted officials who spend our money like it is in their own wallets!"
This person had more to say, but we shortened it. I think the message is loud and clear.
Who are the elected officials to give away our Golf Club for free to a religious organization, when the Gay Community could not use it to get married at when they were offering to pay? Is it that the Gay community is not politically connected?
Well it is an outrage. If one organization can get it for free, then so should they all. As a tax payer, I say that NO religious organization should be able to use public property without paying for services. I also think that this falls under discrimination, based on human rights and campaign cash.
How do you know that there was no charge to the people that hosted the event?
