I helped give away free Christmas trees last night. There’s some happy people in DG because of this.
Cool for many reasons, among them: there are still Knights of the Templar walking among us (!), and there has to be more people this year who look at $50+ for a tree and wonder how to prioritize t... Comment - Like

We’re big boys and girls, we can handle it.
Last night a County Board member, from District 3, asserted in front of the DGTRO folks in attendance that DuPage County had reduced it’s spending by $45 million dollars. This struck me as an odd statement, so I looked it up.

Selling out cheap.
SB1652 supposedly guarantees Illinois power delivery moves into the 21st Century, just like California and most of the Northeast. Nevermind the states that have moved forward on Smart Grid type technologies now have the highest electricity rates. Never mind the obvious logic th... Comment - Like

Went to hear McCartney last night. For 69 years old the guy had an incredible back up band that carried the old Beatles multi-part harmonies really well, and they shredded the rockers.
Monday set (unless otherwise noted, REALLY tight and true):

I’m running for one of three seats for Village Council in the election scheduled for April 5, 2011.
I’m asking residents to vote for me based on a pledge to continue work on the budget, fix the streets, and get better transparency into the why of how decisions are made.

“In our opinion, this would be an invitation to a lawsuit based upon an equal protection violation under the Illinois Constitution,” Korey said in an e-mail to village officials. “In effect, the village would be penalizing one violator $50 and another violator $100 for the same violation.”

After surpassing a million visits, Elaine Johnson’s DGreport appears to have been hacked by a turkish site http://hovardayiz.net/
Usually when a site gets hit with a redirect bug, it’s because a back door was left open, allowing unauthorized code to be inserted. Comment - Like
