People need to stop being cowed by screams of *racism* as a manipulative tool to get people to back off of holding them accountable for bad behavior.

That’s all over Illinois; Indiana too. I think it goes back to the Northwest Ordinance.

Her predecessor was only the township supervisor, but wielded considerable power and influence. He was also chairman of the board at the local community college for many years. I taught some adult education classes for them some years ago but, since I taught at workplaces, I was rarely on campus. One day I had to stop by the department office and there was only one person there. Everyone else was at a Democrat fundraiser or campaign event held by the township supervisor. Being off-campus most of the time meant no one remembered to “invite” me to that.

She is a real piece of work and very devious. One of the sharper and apparently honest, council members is planning to run against her. She is trying to pass a new pay plan for the Mayor which would cut the salary from $100,000+ per year to $25,000 but only if a new mayor is elected. If she gets re-elected, her plan would maintain the higher salary for the term of office.

*The diva thinks she’s a chieftain in an African village*

It’s a black thing. They are into royalty and she symbolizes it. They’ll support her the same way they support the Obamas. Long for the life rather than work and achieve it.

She must have done a miraculous job in order to deserve this kind of wages, especially for such a small town with about 20 K inhabitants.

Epic is right. I have to admit that listening and watching her makes me laugh. Thanks.

I think I need google translate to fully appreciate what her supreme highness is talking about.

However, I don't think that all the AI in the world could translate her back alley balderdash and blather into comprehensible English.
