We have first hand knowledge of a rape victim from last Tuesday. She was raped in the condo's of Indian Oaks. The details of the rape cannot be reported yet, but we know she ran and dialed 911. Many officers were in pursuit of the rapists (2), but we are not sure if they were caught. Why? Because the media did not report the rape.
We have always been honest about the fact that major crimes do not make it into the news for two reasons: The first is that Bolingbrook poilce do not always catch people, the second is because they only report arrests, not questioning, crime itself, or anything else. Therefore, no "Rape" needs to be reported unless someone is arrested. To inform the citizens and the media, if there is an issue, is left to the one man sitting in the Mayor position, Mr. Claar.
Mr. Claar does not wish for people to know these things, as it keeps our ratings down. Just like the people being held up by gun a few years ago, costing the Police Chief at the time, his job. He decided to let the public know after Roger Claar said not to. Shortly thereafter, he left his post.
So beware to those women out there, or those that have wives, daughters, or mothers near Schmidt and Boughton Road. There are multiple rapists out there!

Does your word matter Mr. Gougis?
Mr. Gougis swore and oath to be a public servant. He also swore and oath to honor and love his wife when he got married and then decided to have two children. How much do these oaths matter to this man? Apparently not at all.
Recent information is that Mr. Gougis, the only black male school board member, has been dating a blond home wrecking broad, as seen last year at the Sox game with him. His marriage is ending leaving his two young children, under the age of 7, to live without a daddy day to day.
The sad truth is that the elected officials in Bolingbrook suffer and extreme deficit of moral judgement and character. It has been observed over the last many years that the Mayor himself dabbles in blonds on the side from his marriage. Bill Mayer carried on a lucrative affair with another Bolingbrook employee last year, who then got promoted. And so other male officials have learned that to be sponsored by Rog and get his endorsements, you have to be willing to play in the same games of loose moral in which allegedly engages. Which means affairs, alcohol, and other party times indicative of people lacking judgement to run their own lives--let alone run a village.
Last year Claar backed Gougis, took him to a ball game and some residents video taped their behavior and women. How long do these elected officials carry on immoral behavior? Do their spouses know about the cheating?
The biggest question is who cares? Well, I do. My spouse feels this way too. I think many women would feel that way. Cheating politicians do not get a woman's vote. Cheating politicians do not get the religious vote either, both male and female. Cheating politicians do not get the older vote, especially from those that have put up with their spouses with love for over 20 years. So whose vote are they getting? They are not getting the young vote, as the young don't vote in Bolingbrook often. It makes us wonder how rigged the voting system in Bolingbrook really is.
I am going to end this story with a quote from a local resident. I think it suits just fine.
"Mr. Gougis, you should have thought twice about putting your affair on TV last year at the game. Flaunting an affair that leaves a wife and two young children without a daddy or husband is atrocious. It is the time that a wife needs her husband the most, and the time two young children need their daddy the most. Their world will never be the same because you could not keep your pants up. I mean, did you NOT love your wife enough to marry her and make her give birth to TWO of your children? That was asking a lot to begin with. You're a self serving bastard, not a public servant. No wonder Roger likes and support you".

DuPage Democrats hold Open House
Many typical faces were present at the DuPage Townships open house at Home Run Inn Pizza this week. Time and time again we see the same faces running for office and hope that new blood steps forward. However, the event was nice and cordial. The air of excitement about running another election was thick in the air.
We were suprised to see The Independent Party Board Member Bob Bowen there. He was very interested in meeting the candidates and being an educated voter. We hope to see him next election!
If you went to the event, post your thoughts, opinions, and more below!
Yard Waste Bolingbrooks new tax to help offset extreme debt
Yes, it i time for Bolingbrook to be creative on how many more areas they can yank money from your pockets. You see, there is a huge debt in Bolingbrook that must be repaid. Debt incurred by a rubber stamp trustee board and a spendaholic mayor who made some bad business decisions on losing ventures.
Well now the Golf Course losses, as well as the airport and Americana Estates will be coming from your pockets.
I know, it is not the first time. First they increased food, liquor, and hotel taxes to offset this. But the debt is still growing and your money is not enough.
Now they are adding a $2.50 tax to every bag you want to throw away from yard waste. That is more than Naperville charges.
But hey, when you vote the spendaholics into office, this is what you get.
The last time they tried to get creative about taxing the residents, they installed red light cameras. That cost us a bundle and had to be stopped. Another poor decision. Let's see where this one leads!
One resident told me today that the next thing they will have to do is car stickers and dog tags again. Silly that they keep going into the same pockets for more and more money. Bolingbrook residents are NOT rich. I repeat, they are NOT rich. Eventually, all these extra taxes will only lead to more foreclosures, higher property taxes, and a complete inability to sell your home. Thanks Roger Claar!

District 203 Schools Caught "Misspending"
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!
