Roger's position in the next three years (Our assumptions)

So what is our take on Roger's role in the next three years?

1.  Roger has not retired because he has NO suitable candidate in his party to elect.  Each of them is either debating retirement or are tainted with corruption in the public eye.  The next three years, or less, he needs to find a successor. 

2.  The problem is he can elect anyone on his board right now.  We are sure he is ready.  His pension is topped.  The problem is he has to part with his war chest and find someone who is ready to take the tax increase heats coming.  Someone leading the Titanic under.

3.  Therefore, this is no easy task.  With Roger debating on sitting on other boards for extra money, he will try to influence this next person.  We will call this candidate "the puppet".

4.  His last recourse is to drop before the next election, and let elections take its course.  Since he is never one to allow fair elections, we doubt this one.

5.  Currently he takes direction from Kavinaugh, but you won't find this out of towner running.  He makes too much in the residual lawsuits he gets.  $140K salary is chump change.  We do, however, know he will be at the bottom of this direction, pulling all puppet strings.

6.  In finality, there is no saving the path of destruction.  The next Mayor will take all the crap and will try to rebuild.  It is not a job many would want.  There are no rewards in that. 

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!
