I am a Republican, however, this County Board in no way represents me or the majority of Republican voters. These so-called Republicans led by Scott Christianson are bought and paid for by William Charles Limited.

Much like our state is led by Democrats who are bought and paid for by unions.

Is EVERY politician in this state a self-serving SCUMBAG??????

Nichole: I believe the Property Protection Plan is only 1/4 mile. Waste Management offers a 1/2 mile Property Value Plan in Dekalb County. It is disturbing that so few can destroy “real development” in this county.

Wow… I’ve known for a decade now that we get waste hauled into our county from Chicagoland on a daily basis (wave hello to those big red semi’s with MBI on the cab) but this just seems like a crap (pun intended) decision.

Now we get LESS money for allowing more densely populated areas to tranfer their garbage into our living spaces?

It’s so easy to look at big metropolitan areas and shake our heads at the corruption -but here in our own house it’s just as bad and rarely gets a spotlight. Very sad.
