As parents and taxpayers flooded the packed 203 School Board meeting last night (part of Bolingbrook is in District 203), the buzz surfaced around the same question ... "why are they re-districting the schools?" The School Board sent out notices about the re-districting and it caused a fury. Residents did not want the Administration to send their kids to different schools including ones miles farther away than they were in now and forcibly separate even siblings into different schools. The turn of events that unfolded was simply appalling! It was discovered that the re-districting was being done to accommodate all day kindergarten, ADK! It was not because of the overcrowding problems... Nor to save on the budget... And it's something the residents did not want!
Residents were allowed to speak (about 90% against) at the end. The meeting went until after midnight. Literally dozens of residents rose up to speak against this profligate boondoggle. It was an impressive turnout.
It was announced that the re-districting was caused by the Administration wanting to add ADK. They decided to add it because many of the teachers of Kindergarten like the idea when asked--it would give the teachers more paid hours and they felt it could help the kids get into college better (REALLY?).
Residents attacked. Where is the proof that ADK helps kids get into college? Where is the research? What will this cost the taxpayers... the questions went on and on.
Jen, one of the speakers for the school administration did state the RESEARCH actually shows that kindergarten ALL DAY has NO LONG TERM benefit.
David Zager, the CFO told parents and taxpayer prior to the Board meeting that ADK construction costs would be about $2.5 Mil. Then a bait and switch happened, and he then increased the construction costs for ADK to be $4.5 Mil when he reported to the 203 School Board.
One resident drew applause at his three points:
1. Since the Administration themselves says there is no benefit to ADK, why spend the money and disrupt and separate our children and families?
2. That initially the 2.5 Mil for ADK construction was provided to parents at 5 different info. sessions prior to the Board Meeting and now it suddenly went up to 4.5 Mil--how can residents trust the administration when they use "Bait and Switch" in their figures.
3. With the upgraded kindergarten program, Administrators announced they would now be able to teach the children how to count from 1-20 and learn the alphabet. The resident exclaimed that if that is NOT what they are learning now, that the curriculum needs to be fixed, not send his 5 year old to school for 2.5 more hours per day.
Furthermore, distress ran through the crowd as those in the crowd saw the financials presented and the bottom line. The district will be out of money in a couple of years, and teachers and activities will be cut or taxes will increase again.
Other school districts, such as District 204, have instituted all day kinderdaycare and as result of this expense are now broke and slashing programs and firing teachers. So 203 Administrators are determined to follow 204's failures. Are their any adults in the the Administration who understand budgets and can balance one? An astute 203 Board member stated last night "I'd like a pony too but does that mean I should get one?" 203 Administrators are you listening or are you forever stuck in the 'burn cash now and crash school programs and fire teachers later mode?!'
So we still do not need to spend the ADK $4.5 Mil in capital expenditures plus $2+ Mil a year ongoing in increased salaries and maintenance. The Administration has not proven to us that this is needed. Residents are voters, and they now see how idiotic some of these Administrators (and a couple of the Board members) are. They need to take a class to understand balancing budgets and needs.
The tax payers are not here to pay for wants of Kindergarten teachers. If they want it this bad, let those that are requesting it take a pay cut of $4.5 Mil immediately and then $2+ Mil a year ongoing to make it happen. Try going a step further, fund raise for it. If there are enough residents in support of it, they should have no problem fundraising the money to do it. Somehow, judging from the large turnout, it might be a difficult task to find support or to convince the residents of the need for all day daycare for 203.

EXPOSED! DuPage Township in a Tax Payer Coverup!
Last year a local resident launched an investigation into DuPage Townhip's payment of $40,000 for Senior trips. That resident wanted to know who went on the trip, did attendees contribute to the trip, who arranged the trip, etc.
Bill Mayer of the DuPage Township denied her FOIA's. This denial went all the way to Lisa Madigans office. Lisa Madigan has left numerous messages for this information and the Township is denying it and not responding to the one person in IL that prosecutes elected officials for corruption.
So what is there to hide? For one, the person that wrote the check is now a Trustee. Coincidence?
Secondly, did taxpayers pay for vacations of employees and residents?
Third, why are you hiding the list of attendees, the costs, and information?
Most importantly, why is the reimbursement from residents and employees NOWHERE on the financials? We show the loss but not the return.
In conclusion, we feel that DuPage Township should be held accountable to the residents to justify this alleged corruption scandal. The courts should make the Supervisor pay this money back to the taxpayers.
As a reminder of whom the Supervisor Bill Mayer is, do you remember the story last year about how he went on the Boston trip and was seen in provocative man on man positions with other elected officials? Why was he at a School conference when he is a Township employee?
Why did he authorize hundreds of thousands to build a memorial to Roger Claar called the Roger Claar gardens, while increasing our taxes? Why does he use tax payer money to donate to CSC? Why does authorize contracts to his day job company when that is unethical and pass bills paid to them monthly? We could go on and on... This is the same man whom dressed as a turkey and called the media to come out for free turkey giveaway to the poor, driving the poor away from the pick up lines so they were not seen as "needy" by their neighbors, friends, or family and suffer further embarrassment. Let's not forget his biggest issue... taking donations from companies that the Federal government arrested the owners for corruption.
Remember his name at election time, if nothing happens to him sooner. Vote him out.

A Tribute to Number Crunchers
With Illinois ranked number three of all the states in political corruption, it is important for the people of the area to step up. Although the conviction rate is high, the only politicians being incarcerated are the high ranking officials. However, when you think about where they came from, you realize they were corrupt when they were politicians at a county level or even at a municipal level first. It is this group of people (municipal and county) that join strong fronts that enable corruption. They swing with their party's demands and forget they represent the people of the village, town, city, or county in which they reside. It is the main reason the independent movement is growing so strong.
When a resident, such as Rhonda Reed Slaughter sees the corruption, steps up and wages a battle against it, she becomes a local hero. Rhonda's story is a touching one. She decides to get involved in politics, sees the corruption, starts digging for answers and starts a web site to inform the voting residents, so that they can vote the people out. The only enemy of a corrupt politician is an informed voter.
So Rhonda sticks her neck out to start and operate a web site called the Number Crunchers for three years. She runs against the mafia style Republican Party in attempts to inform the public. She finds that the public is unsympathetic and won't vote anyhow, so she steps back from the web site and devotes more time to family, friends, and careers that will benefit her. Putting those things on hold for three years and devoting time to a cause that is unpaid and unwanted (in the current political parties eyes) is a tough thing. As Bonnie states. "Rhonda is one strong woman. She is educated, powerful, and insightful. She is caring and willing to give her time and energy into this cause. She pushed back bullies, stopped people from pocketing tax payer cash, and never ran from the local mafia. She stood tall for Bolingbrook. She stood strong for the residents. She is a pillar in the community and will never be forgotten. I hope her path will cross corruption again."
So for Rhonda Reed Slaughter and those who contributed to her site, we hail you as the hero of the month.
We sincerely thank you for watching out for corruption and informing the public. For taking a stand against power, to stand with the everyday person in our community. For calling out the wrongs, and pushing to make right. You can't help it if the current officials are blind to the people. You can't help it if the current officials are idiots who only care about how to fatten their wallets. You showed the people you cared and you donated time to that cause. You will always be able to look int he mirror and feel proud. You have something your children can be proud of you for. In the end, that makes you a winner Rhonda et al. You have served your country respectfully. We bid your site farewell, but we won't bid you a goodbye. The fight is not over....

Cutting Services Like Snow Removal? Rog are you on something?
The whole purpose to pay for local taxes is for safety. Safety includes fire, police, roads, snow removal... Yet that is the first thing the Mayor and Trustees cut?
Well, all those people in the safety unions voted for Roger because he told you he was NOT going to cut, and he did. He liiiiieeeeeeddddd to you... That should be a song. I hope you learned your lesson.
For the State of the Village, Roger asked for ideas to cut (other than his job). So here you go Roger! Before you cut safety, try cutting these items.
1. Magazine subscriptions (Totalling thousands)
2. Hundreds of thousands to pet charities of your families (Like your daughter who gets paid to run an organization from across the country.)
3. Free rent to PROFITING businesses
4. Expensive napkins in the bathroom of the losing "Golf Club"
5. Free liquor for the Mayor and Trustees
6. Free perks of the heads of Village (Like free dental that costs us thousands a year, cars, etc)
7. Free food for the Mayor and Trustees
8. Additions to the LOSING Airport (We don't need another damn shed) or more runways, fences, etc.
9. Stop spending on legal fees for "looking into" ventures, such as water, electric,etc.
10. Stop passing bonds for business that are likely to fail
11. Donations to charities that don't actually accomplish their missions or goals, or are not registered as not-for-profit with the state.
12. Turn off Christmas lights every now and then. Get rid of the one's down every street!
13. Stop putting in fountains that cost money, require high maintenance and water bills.
14. Stop buying trees for double the price at your pet vendor.
15. Cut all 3% raises in the Village and anyone that makes over $130K a year, should cut at least 10% of their salary. It is a recession after all and we can replace them for half the price,
Which leads me to the large cost, which is what costs us police, fire, and plows...
CUT the $2 Million dollar attorney and hire ONE for $300K!
And last but not least, stop doing illegal acts which is what is costing us attorneys and settlements.
Do you need any more suggestions? It is not rocket science Roger, I mean, don't you read our reports? The above items will save so much money alone, you can beef up our safety again and pay down half our debt. What do you think about that? Are you willing to give up so many perks to show you LOVE Bolingbrook still? I would think so in an election year, right?
All those in favor of keeping thee snow plows working while eliminating pet charity donations, respond below!
All those who wish for the Mayor to announce he will take a perk cut and pay cut, give up his free food, liquor, car allowance, dental 100% costs, etc, comment below. This alone will cut costs by over $50K which would supply us with snow plows for the year.

Back and Better!
The Bolingbrook Report is back and better then before. We have revamped our web site, we have some new faces on board, and some (wait for it, wait for it) are even MORE opinionated then Jay,Bonnie, Bob or even George!
We have some new contributors to our articles and you will see some new issues being brought forward. We have changed up our "on the scene" photographers (as they were all spotted at on time or another last year) and some local residents that might surprise you, will be submitting articles!
2012 will be a powerful year for us and for the residents. Last year we tried to keep personal attacks out of our site and focused on the job people were doing around town. This year, we are not holding back. We have learned that we get the blame for everything, so we might as well let all the news out.
:) Bolingbrook Report ROCKS!

Some should get out and stay out... news and office
We noticed a trend this month on local reporters going bye-bye. Recently Rhonda Reed Slaughter announces the end to her web site at the Number Crunchers. This is a shame, as she did a world of justice exposing the numbers of wrong doings within our community and fought a hard battle. She will be missed. We hope she will submit articles to us!
However, we are happy to see reporters Brian and Shannon with the Bolingbrook Patch disappeared, replaced by soft news and nothing political hard core.
No worries to our fans though... We will not be going away, so hang tight and watch us continue to grow as the competition diminishes...
Tell us your secret Roger!
Roger Claar, the Mayor of Bolingbrook had posted on his profile that he was involved in MSC Consulting. We were wondering what that was and started looking into this consulting company.
It sparked our interest because it was alleged many years ago the FEDS asked him to close his consulting firm due to a conflict of interest of owning a consulting company and being the Mayor. We can assume that he was doing business with both which sparked the conflict.
Now we see he is involved in yet another, consulting firm. The firm, under Tom Mahoney, does state that they took grants and contracts for playgrounds in Tinley Park. So where is this going? We don't know, but Rog, keep grinning, because we are on it!
H2O and Lindsey Claar-Smith
It has been alleged this week that Lindsay has NO intention of returning to H2O, yet she continues to collect a salary on this organization. The information we were supplied was that her organization receives free rent at the Bolingbrook Community Center, (paid for by taxpayers).
She graduated in May of 2011 in California. Then she got married and is established in California.
So, should this woman be taking donations from the Village, Township, Library, and other taxing bodies if that money goes to her salary, of which she is not present to conduct business? This is not an IT business that can be done remotely. This is a business that is helping youths of the community.
How many youths has been called into question int he past year, as some say we donate thousands of tax dollars to support and assist a very small group of kids (under 10). So is this organization really just a place for kids to hang out? Is it existing just for her to get a salary because of whom her daddy is? We would like to hear from her on when she is planning to return and do her job, or when she will release her salary to the organization and it's helpers/ facility costs.

Dan Droogan, Chicago Magazine, and one sour time for Roger!
http://www.chicagomag.com/Chicago-Magazine/October-2007/BolingbrookaCest-Moi/index.php?cparticle=2&siarticle=1
As referenced directly from this article above.
"Dan Droogan is the son of Terry and Charlotte Droogan. They go back to Bolingbrook's origins in the early 1960s as a couple of small subdivisions cut out of cornfields. Terry was an early village trustee and was fire chief from 1967 to 1993, when he retired from the department and staged a failed run against Claar for mayor. Charlotte taught third grade in a Bolingbrook public school for 30 years. Shortly after she retired, she ran unsuccessfully for a village trustee seat in hopes of becoming an opposing voice on what she believed was a rubber-stamp board.
To talk to these three Droogans is to hear three levels and two generations of dissent. Charlotte complains that while chasing his "grandiose ideas" to build Bolingbrook into an upscale suburb, Claar has neglected older, middle-class neighborhoods like hers, on the city's east side. She says she's been lobbying for many years to get sidewalks in her part of town for the safety of children walking to school.
Terry, who is divorced from Charlotte and now lives in Tennessee, questions how much Claar had to do with Bolingbrook's growth. With a population explosion all over western Will County and the confluence of highways at Bolingbrook—I-355, I-55, and Illinois Route 53—the village would have grown exponentially "if Donald Duck was mayor," Droogan says. (Chicago political expert and one-time Will County resident Paul Green echoes the sentiment, saying that Claar has been more the beneficiary than the cause of a "demographic miracle" that's happening in Will County, the fastest-growing county in Illinois.)
Dan Droogan is in his mid-40s, and perhaps because he is part of the political system in the area, he's less quick to criticize Claar, who has beaten the DuPage Township Democrats every time they have run someone against him. "I learned about politics from Claar," Dan Droogan acknowledges. "He's so good. Even though [the DuPage Democrats] are getting beat up, [Claar] is forcing me to get better."
If the Droogans' critiques of Claar are divergent, Claar's response to the Droogans is not. "They're fucking nuts," he said when I said I might quote them in an article. He threw a copy of Chicago magazine onto the office floor and declared an abrupt end to the interview. "
The article goes on about Roger's lavish lifestyle of the Mayor of Bolingbrook and is filled with much emotion. But what will all this lead up to? Many of us are wondering if Dan Droogan, former head of DuPage Democrats, will finally join the race for Roger's position. Sitting in the shadows for far too long, being called "fucking nuts" by a man he watched for years, and being removed from the Democrats leadership position might give Dan the edge he needs to run a race that is not only successful but exciting.
"He has an anger driving him now, that he did not have before" one woman informed us. He use to be the guy on the sidelines. Now, with proper funding and support, will he take that anger and lash out? Will he fight back and take his Droogan name back to Bolingbrook like his father did at that age? Is it the turning point time for the Droogans to stop falling behind in the race and finally win?
He has his advantages. First, he knows all the dirty ballot games the Republicans play. Second, he is not tied down to the Democrats anymore, which means he is not relying on a group of people that took last place with their candidate in the last election. Now he is free to jump on the Independent band wagon, which took the next top spots in the last local election. That group has money, resources, people, and drive. They have supporters locally that the Democrats do not.
The question remains, does Dan become the one in his family to finally do it? To show everyone that Roger's comments that his family is "fucking nuts" was only made because he opposed the Mayor and rejected some of the Mayor's decisions? We will touch back with a statement from Dan, if he chooses to send in one!
Today we celebrate our 500,000 hits!
To many, running a successful web site is dictated by number the of hits from your audience. When we first started the web site, we did not think many people would be interested in local political news and chatter, however we have become a fast growing, overly opinionated, watchdog group for the local residents of approx. 70,000. Given those small numbers, which include children and people without Internet access, we are surprised that less than three years later we have over 500,000 hits!
Maybe it is because we speak for the people, and those views are different than how our administration is running things. Maybe it is because we don't fear political points of view. Maybe it is because we are so controversial and point out what people really want to know. Regardless of the fact of why people come to our site (to rebut our articles or to enjoy them), we are grateful for the audience, the number of hits we get, and the fact that people are involved, people are listening, and people are talking. That is what really matters!
As Jay always says (Jay is the editor in chief), "Even those that bash the Bolingbrook Report do us justice. When they try to deny a story, it causes people to talk, read, and listen. That helps our cause at a unified Bolingbrook that can come together for a common cause".
The cause is, and has always been, since Bonnie first ran for office, a "Better Bolingbrook". If we can stop the corruption, make the community a better place, and reduce costs to the residents while increasing jobs, then we have served a great purpose.
It is your time to weigh in and discuss why you think we have become so popular! Comment below.
Dan Droogan vs. Tom Braxton for Dupage 015 Precinct Committeeman
We find it ironic that these two would be battling it out for Precinct Committeemen in the same arena. It is ironic because Droogan held the position of DuPage Township Democrat Chair and was replaced by Tom Braxton just a little over a year ago. Now the races heat up to determine if this was the right choice. The Democrats supported the move to change leaders, but do the people that reside in this area? Is this battle personal or is it just political with no agenda? It will be fun to watch!
Election Information
Election day for the Primary is March 20th. The last day to register to vote is February 21. Early voting begins at Village Hall on February 27-March 15.
Election for Will County Reps... and a little supriise
Did anyone notice on the upcoming election in March that there is a referendum in Bolingbrook?
So what does this mean to us? Well, the Village has been conducting a hostile takeover of the water, and now it wants to "work deals" for electric which we are ALREADY getting. What this means to home owners is that you will be approving tax payer dollars to go to this cause and unlimited bonds to be spent.
I mean sure, it is great we might save $5 a household per month on electric. But don't be blind, because it will probably add hundreds of dollars to your homeowners taxes annually to pay for the bonds or funds this venture took. Not only will it raise bonds, but whom will run it? More politically connected morons who cannot run the businesses and departments that we already have? It was not that long ago that Public Works lost over $600K to theft of employees. It is every year for 10 years that we have lost money on the Golf Course poorly operated venture. Don't even get me started on how much we have lost for the Americana Estates venture.
So in the long run, nobody in the Village has expressed what this will cost or save residents. We want to know... how much will it save us annually on electric and how much will our Village bond debt go up, causing property and sales taxes to rise? WE want the bottom line, will we benefit from this or be hurt by it. So if that is such a simple question, how come we have gotten NO ANSWERS to this?
Let's talk for a second how it is being held on the least attended election cycle in Bolingbrook. The Mayor gets his 2,000 people to come vote and nobody else shows up. Is this even a surprise anymore?
When you can answer the question about benefits to the residents, then maybe the smart people of Bolingbrook, will vote in your favor...
This is what the Referendum states:
VOTE NO, NO, NO, NO, and NO!
Spread the word!
Village of Bolingbrook (DuPage and Will Counties):
