How fkin dumb are we? And we have another case that's going in the counties favor, soon. Any guesses?

Can you imagine the county screws the village with 9% interest rate..What would have them do, left with no choice but to fight it!! Those guys will screw the village anyway they can. Maybe if the state comes in a runs the village government, we can see some savings in fire and police salaries. Change will come one way or another.

King Mario is proposing that the local governments can waste all their money stupidly, for instance, on fancy SUV's for a 2.5 sq mile village, fixing up board members' families properties, wasting money on trying to make Main St. like it was yesterday instead of looking ahead to the future, paying out of area lawyers $ and more $ for losing causes that they don't even ask the public how they feel about, and then tell their employees "oh sorry you guys, you work hard but TFB, we spent all the money.........." Yeah real good idea. If everyone thinks they can do with paying minimums to their civil servants, good luck. We all hate them 'til we need them.

The village board is too stupid to accept it. They would rather fight them tooth & nail like with everything else.
