The SJR & 186...No Leadership

***So, the SJR opts to endorse the current 186 School Board president who can't lead her board out of a paper bag when it comes to the largest decision facing 186; who opts to punt by hiring a $100,000 consultant who runs secret meetings; and, who for the last four years has seen increasingly unbalanced budgets continue to eat away at the district's surplus.  This is who the SJR wants on the school board for another 4 years.  No wonder the SJR and newspapers in general are faltering.

Then, the SJR, who clearly has done zero investigation into the woman from Arkansas' claim that she neither sought nor would accept an endorsement by a political party, endorses this candidate because they don't like the Keith Sias slogan.  They endorsed a woman who by accounts from Dem PCs and GOP officers sought endorsements from both parties.  The SJR believed anything that came out of this woman's mouth without verifying.  IF the SJR had sent someone to the Dem Committee Call they would've heard their endorsee openly seek the Dem endorsement.  IF the SJR had followed up by calling the county GOP, they would've found out that their endorsee in fact called the GOP and explicitly asked for their endorsement. 

Oops.

***Crazy Rod just keeps sticking it to the taxpayers of IL.  Now, the State Employees Retirement System has approved former State Rep and Former IDNR Director Kurt Granberg's pension at $113,305/year.  This is about $40,000 MORE than what he would've rec'd just by retiring from the GA.  He spent 3 weeks as IDNR Dir and gets a $40K bump in pension. 

And, who says we have pension problems in Illinois?!?!?!

***Ahhh, 'Open Government', Illinois-style...

***I wonder if the auto industry would like to take another look at bankruptcy.  Bankruptcy protection certainly would've been a better choice than complete and utter takeover by The Obama.  The interesting thing with the takeover of GM and Chrysler is that only the executives are getting blamed.  What about the UAW and their ever increasing demands for more pay, more benefits and higher pensions?  When with The Obama fire the Union leadership?

***F-in whiners.  Why can't "journalists" seem to be able to use their cell-phones and live a normal, healthy life at the same time?  And, since they are inept and the simplest of life's tasks, they don't want anyone else to do it...
