Here's what we've learned about this:
As the article states, the group of homeowners in question petitioned to disconnect from the Park District for several reasons, including the fact that their children attend Naperville schools, they live much closer to Wheaton parks than Lisle parks, and they are adjacent to a subdivision that successfully disconnected from the Lisle Library District last year. Absolutely nothing in the petition mentioned anything about Navistar. The Village of Lisle and Broda have nothing to do with this petition -- it is strictly between these homeowners and the Lisle Park District.
So let's review:
- a group of taxpayers sent a petition to the Park District Board, respectfully providing a logical and compelling argument for disconnection
- Broda and Lisle trustees have no jurisdiction in this matter - by law, it is strictly between the petitioners and the Park District Board
- Broda reviews the list of petitioner's names
- Broda tells the newspaper that he and his trustee cronies are "concerned" and that several names on the petition are people who opposed the Navistar industrial diesel engine testing facility
Broda's tactics were illegal.
ReplyDeleteHe is probably more concerned with "getting caught" and ending up sleeping next to Geroge Ryan than personal vendetta.
Thanks for this site. You are doing a wonderful job of uncovering the Truth. The truth is something sorely missing in Lisle politics.
ReplyDeleteDid Broda and Young have to fill out a FOIA with the Park District to obtain a copy of the petition?
