Kalnickys Senete Run Falls Flat

Bob Kalnicki has decided to run for the State Representitive Seat.  He has some hard core financial backers.  This month alone, the House Republican Committee donated about $15K to his cause, which adds to his approx. $9k that he had from donars such as Tressler LLC (Bolingbrook Village Attorney that gets over a million and a half a year of our tax dollars while other Village attorneys make $350K). 

Bob has shown himself as a leader in the Will County Republican Party. This is the same party we speak of a great deal on our web site by exposing politicians in this org. for alleged corruption in Bolingbrook.  He also is the head chair of a Facebook Site posted a little more then a year ago as the local TEA PARTY.  That is correct, this man is the HEAD of the local tea party movement.  So it is of no suprise that when Cedra Crenshaw, (who ran last time) donated what was left of her money to the campaign funds of Tom Cross, it would wind up back into Kalnicki's hands.  In the sum of $14,500 this month as a donation to his campaign.

Is the world ready for a Tea Party Extremist in the IL seat?  Is he really a tea party person?  He states he is, but when the library last year was going to sell the old furniture, he voted to donate it to a local charity that he sits on the board to.  The residents outcried, because we wanted this money to go towards the bills that the tax payers were forking out for the new library.  But hey, we all want something free for our organizations, right?  It is too bad the tax payers caught this move and exposed this move to be illegal.  The funds were placed into the library fund.  Alleged corruption again?  Horray for the tax payers for stopping it! 

Steve Quigley in possible Kick Back Scheme?

This month Steve Quigley accepted a large campaign donation of $1000.00 from Government Consulting Services of IL during a non-campaign year for himself.  This company's main work is to be a lobbyist for government entities, such as ours.  We already know that he works within the WCGL which hires lobbyists for our community issues.  The WCGL gets the money from our Village, from our tax dollars. 

Now he takes donations so that he will continue to hire this company to lobby on our behalf?  Horrifying!  Also, a tid bit many of you don't know, the items they are lobbying for are far right wing republican items, even though Valley View area (Bolingbrook/ Romeoville) are largely Democratic.  I am sure many of you will be upset to know that this is how your money is being spent. 

Pay to Play don't play with us!
