A message from Bonnie

Congratulations residents who voted for Roger a few years ago instead of voting for me.  Congratulations to the residents who did not even vote that year.  You got exactly what I said you would get if Roger was back in office. 

You got slashed safety services and a nice big fat 24% raise this year alone in Village Taxes.  So why aren't you celebrating?  You won, right?

You allowed Roger and his group to slander my name, to jeopardize my daughter and my own safety, and run up bills in your name.  All because I saw the numbers and told you about it.  They tried to get me to shut up.  They tried to hide it.  They illegally booted me off the ballot twice.  They threatened my family.  They even public ally called me a murderer. 

So celebrate!  Enjoy your success of the election win...  I hope it is worth it, you get what you voted for.

In 2009 I ran on exposing corruption and exposing the truth.  I exposed the large bond debt that the current administrations ran up and told you the bonds had to be paid.  People would loose their jobs.  Taxes would continue to skyrocket.  Matter of fact I think I estimated by 2020 Bolingbrook would be completely bankrupt and almost a ghost town.  This is the year I said it would start to happen. *puff, magic*

Some people said my PhD was not enough.  Some said my experience in owning and running my own businesses was not enough.  Some even say the thousands of $ I spent to inform others was not enough. 

I couldn't have given you more.  I offered my time, energy, talent, education, experience, and a love of Bolingbrook, to try to save you all from the pending disaster that has ruined my childhood community.  The community that I love. 

So let's get down to it.  What % of Police, fire, etc. has been cut from safety in three years.  How many more in the next 7?  Your taxes are being paid for the sole purpose of safety, but 80% of it is not going to that.  It goes to the top heavy admin salaries. 

How could our village taxes jump so much in one year?  Because Roger is in his last year of elections, so let the bonds come due.  Oh, he won't admit that he is leaving, or he cannot keep taking war chest funds, which he will give to his favorite charity soon.  wink, wink...  Maybe that charity puts him on salary, huh?

Next, it will be the passing of higher salaries so he makes more in his retirement pension.  There is nobody to stop him, so why not? 

Oh, I'm sorry, did you think he cared? 

Meanwhile, more bonds are being taken out for utilities, high risk business ventures are crashing, and bonds are due.  Each year taxes will continue to skyrocket.  Buildings and homes remain vacant. 

The question is, "who will buy your $100K home when your annual property tax is $18K?"  When the tax passes the monthly payment, you are stuck.  You have to file bankruptcy.  The town will become more vacant.

On top of that, how do you like all the taxes on food and hotel that you pay?  What other items will be taxed to help pay these debilitating bonds? 
Is what you pay to the school district worth the education they are getting?  Is VVSD the Harvard of IL? 

I have never in my life uttered the words "I told you so" until today.  You got what you voted for.  Celebrate your success!
