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.
