Just one point I want to make. After a storm like we had last week most people weren't focusing on going to a Village Board meeting which was taking place 24 hours after getting power they were cleaning out refridgerators of rotten smelly food and trying to disinfect them so they could be used again.

I know a large number of residents who will be attending the next Board Meeting unless the Village sets up a seperate meeting with the storm response being the only topic.

Also, I will not just sit back and complain but have already spoken with one trustee about helping the village not make the same mistakes again.

Finally, I am working to get some more qualified residents to run for Village Trustees during the next election...

So you haven't heard the last from me.

Clam, my wine was fine during "pooville" gate. We had a wine frig in the kitchen, and is sealed from the elements. It was all good, nicely sealed away from the stench. You have an open invitation to stop by and partake in a glass or 3, along with the rest of this joint.

And seriously, next extended power outage, I expect to see all of you over for margars and colada's, right after you talk to the village of course!

my point was, you accused me of making accusations when my points were all based on what I saw and in no way accusing anyone in general of doing or not doing anything.

quote:

I would expect the people that had problems to talk to them about what happened and how to approve it the next time. I expected by past calculations that there better have been a few hundred people at that meeting, especially the ones on this BB bitchin.

I think people that sit there and bitch and complain when they had no problems just based on hear-say and rumors is wrong.

Go directly to the source, don't go to a BB and never show up at a village meeting or call them.

Alright. My apologies. I must have misinterpreted these words.

My reply: I expected. I have no idea who was there, didn't see it and until I actually talk to someone that was there, I would not know. so I would be expecting. I hope they did. I actually should have said "called the village" as well instead of saying just going to the meeting. My mistake there, apologies to all on that one.

My reply: statement, not accusing anyone. Just a blanket statement saying if someone was doing this, it is wrong. Was I going at anyone in general? I don't think so.

We are bickering about nothing apparently. Glen Ellyn's own newspaper, the Sun found this event only important enough to make page 4 with a little note on the front page. On the other hand, the war on terror is a much bigger, more deserving front page spread this week than a few downed trees and power outages. 6700 hundred residents in the town the paper is named after can't make the front page but a photo of a Lombard Army Supply store is there instead. Go figure. And of course, and advertisement of a buffed guy and gal. The article was pretty worthless as well, adding maybe one or two facts or quotes we haven't seen elsewhere.

And they didn't use a good photo either when they were offered much better ones.

The Cell tower deal made page 19.
