McHenry County IL Message Board

Manzullo’s idea of relieving traffic congestion is kicking families out of their home and tearing them down to make roads wider.

Manzullo’s blind allegiance to a self serving and destructive energy policy has hamstrung development of
new technology.

Don Manzullo has had 16 years to address this energy crisis, 16 years to avoid this catastrophe and he has done absolutely nothing, nothing.

Don Manzullo’s choice to ignore these heroes, oppose a plan for their return home, and refuse to take a position on delivering the funding our forces already in Iraq need is shameful.

Don Manzullo made the choice to turn his back on the individuals to whom this country owes its freedom.

After the loss of more than 4,000 American lives, countless casualties and more than half a trillion dollars, what is it going to take for Don Manzullo to step up to the plate and become a real leader, a leader that works for the security of every American.

The list goes on. The bottom line is Don Manzullo for the past 16 years has been bring the problems of Washington back to the 16th district.

It’s time for real leadership….. It’s time for change…..

Lou Bianchi has destroyed our judicial system in McHenry County. He has corrupted our court  judge’s, falsified trial evidence and strong hold the community. Lou Bianchi continues to misuse taxpayer money.

Lou Bianchi had expense about $60,000 in reimbursements since he took office. This included many meals and travel…. eating and playing on our tax dollars just isn’t right. Again, Lou Bianchi is mixing political campaigning with official business. Lou Bianchi’s booth at the Crystal Lake Expo is another example. Lou Bianchi cannot mix official community outreach efforts and political campaigning. If he used taxpayer money and we all know that he did, it is a violation of the Illinois Election Interference Act.

Illinois State Board of Elections records reveal that Cynor’s opponent, Louis Bianchi (R-Crystal Lake, Illinois) however, has accepted thousands of dollars from various county contractors and other special interests. Those same records indicate that Bianchi even went as far as accepting thousands of dollars from the very same contractors who where awarded a multimillion dollar deal to remodel the government center and Bianchi’s own governmental office. Cynor stated, “When you take money from government contractors and then those same contractors get multimillion dollar county contracts, eyebrows raise. The State’s Attorney is the people’s lawyer, they should never have reason to question the loyalty of their own legal representation. If Bianchi were called upon to represent the county in a contract dispute against his major political contributors, whose interests would he be representing?”

We need strong independent leadership for McHenry County’s future!

It is time for a change!

This November………..

WOODSTOCK IL. – The committee, Citizens for Cynor, announced a fundraising event today for McHenry County State’s Attorney Candidate, Thomas J. Cynor (D-Woodstock, Illinois). The event is scheduled for September 23, 2008 (7:30 p.m. – 9:30 p.m.) at the Stage Left Café in downtown Woodstock. “The fund raising event is typical in most regards,” said campaign coordinator, Laura Asbury, “except for one very important detail. Mr. Cynor has pledged both privately and publically that he will not accept government contractor or vendor contributions – not now, not ever.”

McHenry County Message Boards

1. The Vulcan Lakes Project (What happened to the money that was set aside for this project long ago?)
2. Senior Center
3. Resurfacing city streets (Are we talking actually resurfacing or more Mickey Mouse fills?)
4. Four new police officers and a community service officer (With or without mental problems?)

And a few others.

How about Crystal Lake’s current dilemma? I wonder how the stiff tax increase will help fill these voids? Take a look:

The old CL Walmart is supposed to house JCPenny. Just look at all these empty fronts. Downtown Crystal Lake is pretty bad. The Toy Connection is one of the latest shops to close. I know there are more empty spaces than this, it is all I had time to take pictures of.

I guess we will have to wait and see how the extra income will benefit the city. Will Vulcan Lakes ever be built? Will we all be driving on much smoother roads? Or, will we see CL officials spending taxpayer money on more lavish dinners, driving more expensive cars, and  building room additions to their homes?

In the mean time, if you are not happy about the tax increase, you can this take this man’s advise:  Mayor Aaron T. Shepley:

“People can shop at Super Walmart and Menard’s in Woodstock, if they want to.”

Right from the horse’s mouth. This goes to show how much he cares about the Crystal Lake residents.

For over 7 years Crystal Lake’s Vulcan Lake Project has gone nowhere. To help it along, the officials propose a sales tax increase to get the money needed to create this magnificent recreational area. Wasn’t part of Vulcan’s tax put aside to buy the land back? What happened to the money? Did Crystal Lake blow the money on something else? As far as I am concern, using the Vulcan Lakes Project as the city’s escape goat to raise taxes is getting old. I say "Let go of the dream!"

The price of this project will probably hit near the 30 million dollar mark. That is 10 million more than originally estimated. Why waste that kind of money on a project that will be ruined by people anyway? Once you have the beach and the boats, the water will be polluted and the beach will not look any better than the one that is there now. In the end, Crystal Lake would take an area of beauty and turn it into a dump. I think Vulcan Lakes would serve the community better as a conservation area. "I Propose that McHenry County should buy the land." Not only that, there are enough empty stores in Crystal Lake as it is. There is also another factor: the economy. I am sure a place like this will cost the public something…. nothing is free.

Red = Hiking/Bike Path    Blue = Boat Launch

I would very much like to see a large hiking path around Vulcan Lakes and a boat launch (no motors allowed). Sure,  The Hollows does not allow boat motors (unless you are the Cary Fire District- those bozos sure messed up that lake with their drills!)

For 30 million dollars, Crystal Lake could put the money where it is really needed.
I know! How about here:

Crystal Lake Library

The library, for one, is too small. I have seen how many people visit the library on a daily basis, it is just not large enough. The librarians complain that there are too many inter-library loans. Well, the Crystal Lake Library does not have enough materials due to it’s size and lack of funding. Even after the remodeling there is not that much of a difference…. maybe a little, but not a lot.

Stop by and say goodbye.
Toy Connection
30 North Williams Street, Crystal Lake IL, 60014

I hope the place is not closing because of the tax increase.
