Arcola Township Attorney Mark Petty caught lying to Judge Lincoln in Douglas County Court –

From what I see in the Arcola paper its back to square one. It looks like the Arcola Township is untouchable! I hope not.

Would someone please copy and paste his facebook post for Mr. KRAFT. Someone else read it to me, so I don’t have it.

offened,what has the little Karl Marx,socialist done this time?

Joey Hackler You worked 2 years on the TIF issue after you were promoted on to the team that has been fighting TIF for five years. Conservative figure of revenues LOST by our Community because of all the townships control issues to get more money for their war chest. Somewhere between $15 TO $18 million dollars LOST . Now you are taking credit on saving the taxpayers money. Everyone is agreeing with offended. Have you checked the township budget and the dollars you are spending on attorneys secretaries comfort stations vacations. We certainly hope you are not studying to be a future politician. If you have this much arrogance to take credit for doing something good for the taxpayers when just the opposite that you cost the taxpayers millions. I hope you or anyone else on the township board do not have a big flock of sheep following you because that leadership quality has disappeared from the township board. Pathetic

OMG Joey Hackler!!!! You are such a joke!!! Everyone, read his Facebook post!!

Now that Deana got her butt kicked and lost her fight to stop TIF,anybody have any ideas whose life she will try to make miserable?After all that’s what the Board pays her for right?

jmkraft,did you get your mail from Arcola and what did you think.

What do you expect from someone that takes $45,000.00 of taxpayers money for less than 30 hrs.of work?And by the way she must be real mad now that she lost,I hear the Township Board past the TIF extension—-FINALLY!

At same meeting, Deana walked out in middle of Mr. Foran speaking and as she walked behind him, called him a “not so nice” name, which other people heard. That’s real professional!!!

I heard several comments about the meeting Schoolboard attended,and Jim Crane was also there I believe.Now ,Jim Crane is the Douglas Co. Engineer,don’t you think he knew that the Township wouldn’t pay for the whole project?Seems odd that he didn’t say anything….birds of a feather stick together.Oh and several though it to be funny that Bill Coombe was the only one that appeared unable to understand that Mr.Foran was making the point that the Township had plenty of money,but he still had to ask what his point was.

I found the COD post very interesting,especially since I was recently involved in a meeting between the Arcola School Board,Arcola City Council,and citizens wanting the Inter Govermental Agreement extended.And after reading this weeks Arcola Record- Herald and the report from the County Board it reminded me of an exchange between Road Comm. Mark Nacke and City Council member Terry Foran.Foran was making a point of how the Township’s finances had grown over the last 4 years and that’s when Nacke interrupted him claiming they needed that money for a $750,000.00 bridge projert.County Board-Petition No. 15=Arcola road district.Estimated cost is$768,920.00,with a local agency share of $58,860.00.If that’s the structure Nacke was talking about,that’s along way from shouldering the entire project.The reason I bring this up is the fact that things are not always as they seem.I hope Mr. Nacke did not mislead the people at the meeting that night just to make the Township look responsible with their finances,but after reading the paper the Township has no intention of paying for the whole project.I support the ECWD and their on going search for the facts,because as we just saw things are not always as they seem.

I invite those not following what the Watchdogs have done to make the College of DuPage Board more transparent and accountable to it’s taxpayers, to read about the meeting last night.The post is very telling and shows just what can happen when like minded people unite and excerise their rite to hold elected officals accountable,even officals elected in townships.Good job Kirk and John,you and the rest of your group are just what we need here in Arcola!

jmkraft It’s on the way.

Do you really think this is the first time Petty has lied in court? He is not under oath so what do you think is going to happen? Kudos to John and Kirk for hanging in there for the good of the taxpayers. I am so embarrassed when people ask me what in the hell is going on there in Arcola. Something as simple as the one FOIA request for meeting and agenda records not being answered totally shows the arrogance at the township office. I cant imagine what they are hiding in all the other records not sent. I cant wait until the next election.

Well I see the Arcola Record-Herald finally printed some news from the other side of the Township’s lawsuits.It reads alittle different than what Deana,Mark,and Bill are saying,you know the part where they said they kicked the Watchdogs a–.It will be interesting to see,especially for the blind followers of the big 3 at the township,just how much they waste of our tax money fighting a losing battle.Hey Deana,still think the ECWD are going to quit and go away?It sure doesn’t look like they are going anywhere,but after the truth.

They understand alright S.S.,anybody that has ever asked just what is going on has been put off or given less than they asked for.Judges being lied to is no big thing,the powers to be at the Township have been lying to the taxpayers for years.After 25 years you don’t dare question them.

I wonder if the Township Board is smart enough to understand that their actions before and since the election were their own undoing?Having to tell one lie to cover another has caught up to them!

Why would anybody expect anything but lies from a group that ran the cacus with the so called mandated form everybody had to fill out.Remember all the lies and falsehoods they spread around.A leapord doesn’t change it’s spots and neither do they!

It’s bad enough that the Township is wasting our tax money fighting lawsuits,but do they have to spend it on a lawyer that lies to a judge?

Judges don’t like being lied to!
