1000 times better than your group of do nothings. The great part about being the new elected officials is with the old group the bar wasn't set very high, so all the new people have to do is show up and Antioch is ahead of the game.

The bar is never set to low for a snake.

You should not talk about yourself like that after all it was your mother's fault, she's the blame for carrying you full term.

Be nice Im your dad. "RIGHT JERKY"

Let's state the obvious here.
1. You have no power or voice other than this weak forum
2. You're all bottom feeders (Soon you will all fall from middle class to lower plebeian anyway as you continue to shop at Wal-mart/China-mart)
3. I am privileged and have benefitted greatly from nepoti$m/family relation$
4. I sleep very well at night

Please.... all he has done to date is check off a few items on his personal agenda; getting rid of anyone he thought would make him look bad.
Hiring Parks: a position created during tough economic times?
Geez..hiring those who put you in office...sounds strangely familiar.
How about fixing a park that really needs attention...no a buddy who needed a job

Sorry. I can describe Jim Parks as a lot of things. Flunky is not one of them.

I think the key to seeing if this hire was a good one is to measure how much money the residents save as a result of his job. I am going to ask for such an accounting at the next Board meeting. I suspect he is going to pay for himself many times over based on his analytical skills and general knowledge, but I want to see objective and documented evidence.

I think, Mr. Schaumburg, that you should be looking for facts like this versus the rhetoric you belch forth on a routine basis. I think we all understand your points: You hate Hanson. You hate Parks. You hate anyone that is or supports any elected official that you do not personally approve of, as well as those that support independent thinking in this town. We've got it.

Your constant attacks with no effort to look for real answers is mind numbing. I cannot believe that anyone is really as stupid as you project, and suspect that the real issue is not mental incapacity, but blind hate and your refusal to consider that you might not always be right. That in turn suggests that you have a raging inferiority complex and biases that cannot be controlled.

Just how red is your neck?

None of you will ever be happy. It’s always something isn't it?
Why don't you focus more energy/time on improving your lousy driving habits such as talking on your cell phone?

THEY THINK WE ARE STUPID

Why is it that if we disagree with what Larry is doing we are now full of hate, but when you all disagreed with Mayor Larson and spewed nasty comments about her and her staff that that was OK, and that was just good politics. You cant have it both ways. I dont hate anyone at the village, but I disagree with what they are doing. That does not make me a bad person, nor does it make Larry a bad person. What it does is say we are on different sides of the issue on this and other matters.

Excuse me. I was not addressing you and your issues. I was addressing "New direction
Schaumburg, IL " Unless, of course, you are also him.

By your comments, are you suggesting that you are also of the same mindset as "New direction
Schaumburg, IL"? I hope not. You sound, rather, like a former elected official who is out to make life miserable for those who beat you in the last election. If so, have fun with that. Results count more than words, and since there were few results under the former Mayor's administration, it is understandable that there is a need for a lot of words.

I for one, am giving Hanson and his group a chance to demonstrate that they can get it right when others could not.

I think we have a failure to communicate. Open your eyes to new possibilities. Look around and see what is happening. If you really look, you will find a lot right and very little wrong. 180 degrees different from the last 4 years of CAP dominated decisions.

There is no point in arguing with you. Much will be done in the Village as you flounder and flail. Do keep accusing and pointing fingers, won't you? Your act is better than anything on television!

Hey goof ball. You ARE stupid. You have a major grammatical error in your poll, and a few of your fellow residents have merrily responded to the line it is in without a word or comment. Amazing. Likely due to the poor education you received that has also led to some pretty heady examples of faulty thinking that you have imparted here and elsewhere. Say again where you went to high school? I want to be sure my kids don't go there when they are old enough.
