2nd.....I second the motion. We need to get rid of all of them.

Also, when Streit's term is near end, the 3rd district better make darn sure it comes up with someone worthy and electable. And it better not be more political hacks and soccer mommys.

I hope not.. I hope these guys aren't that dumb to get into a political fight with someone who has the background and political muscle behind him like Phelan, and not be prepared for a political ambush like this.. I am sure mr. phelan is going to and has been throwing back at Deja Bru, laughing and laughing. These guys got played and I like the mayor but if they were too addle to fall for this obvious trap its there own fault.. Hell "welfare" Andy spouted off yesterday that this was coming how did he find out???

CAJ,
You seem to know everything about everything, why don't you run.....

CAJ,
Are you just someone who like to talk, but do nothing...
You like to talk about everyone on this site but you don't offer anything of value..

Mark - You don't know me or what I do or don't do. But tell me, specifically, what YOU are doing to make things better, since you feel a need to question me about my civicness.

I'm not in politics nor do I have a desire to run for public office. But I do expect those in office to conduct themselves honorably and with dignity and to do the job they're entrusted with. If you think the folks we have now are doing that, than you deserve them.

No, I'm not impressed with any of the challengers. Since they are asking for votes and, if elected, will be paid with taxpayer funds, including mine, I have every right to pass judgement on them.

I guess if I don't like the roads, I should become a paving contractor. Or if I don't like the way my church is ran, I should join the clergy.

Does this help you out?

Thats how politics roll. If you get caught with your hand in the cookie jar you get dropped faster "than third period french"......

These Photo's that Patch use are politically motivated. Its old school stuff.. Show the candidate or opponent looking stressed or out of sorts.. It obvious who the editors of this blog and "whatever" you want to call it are supporting..
I find it comical.. We did stuff like this in elections in College.. They still do these things today remember the congressional commercials??.. It reinforces to the dolts out there that Bob Streit must be a bad person look at that Photo.. Way to stay Classy Patch... Just show a "file photo" not an assumed mug shot... I'll expect this post to be taken down post haste as i spoke ill of Patch Editorial Board... lol...

Did the Patch take Andy's Photo?

Is that all ya got Den/Bob?? Stupid fake names and dumb comments. You guys are fiddling while Rome burns around you!! Slam me all you want it just means I'm getting to ya. Just once use your real name and photo Oh wait you have something to hide right?? Blame reporters for reporting on stories,blame bloggers personally for commenting on those stories. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time..............

You know what is sad Andy? The fact that you get such personal enjoyment out of the Village in peril. Sure, I speak my mind about the negativity that you, SMBW, and Dr. Bury spread on this site. Sure, I even give the benefit of the doubt even to those I don't care much for like Mr. Phelan against my better judgment. I don't have any ill will toward anyone but I would like them to do positive things and work together. Them spreading hatred annoys me but not them personally.You feel such vindication, such elation, such pure joy and adrenaline over the fact that the Village is being investigated yet again. I hope that those that are celebrating let it sink in that situations like this where it gets beyond political in-fighting, that ii is bad for the village. I think that articles specifically spun, catchy headlines that are intended to steer peoples opinons before they even look at the details, are bad for the Village. You calling everyone and anyone Den/Bob is indicative of some serious issues and why Patch doesn't curtail that is beyond me, perhaps they enjoy your misguided enthusiasm. I would hope that in any and every situation like this the residents can let go of anger and hope for the best outcome, a peaceful one. This stuff keeps other work from being done, it is a distraction that was not necessary to fix a perceived wrong. A whole new board would even be under more microscopes and would fail easier. Maybe all the scrutiny is the real issue.

Andy do you remember this?
The Reporter On-Line May 12, 2011 By Bob Jaderberg
Oak Lawn awards roadwork contract worth $5.2 million Construction co. gets no-bid deal, will contribute to Fall on the Green Burke Engineering has agreed to reduce its fees by $8,000, village engineer Jack Gallagher said.

while your there check out the bloogers views too

Quiet Neighbor nails it. They should shut off the cameras and make these drama queens get off there lame asses and fix their mess.

These aren't articles. They are projected as such they are more editorial or commentaries more than articles..

Hey Ding Trustees unanimously approved the contract!!! Even Dave was for it and Guess what Streit was the head of public works committee that recommended the bid!!

I like to think that, being the FBI, they will look at everything and follow the path objectively.

Andy, seriously ,the Den/Bob stuff and talking to us like we are officials or involved in any way getting a little freaky scary gonna give me nightmares.

I would agree with that but Andy is a little freaky. The man has no life and very little fucnitioning cells where it may matter. He attacks, attacks and then says that an official misused his office. If I were that official, I would call his partner and tell him to sue that unemployed, "disabled", cheating fool today. Just sayin

I'm so scared Den/Bob I have been threatened at, yelled at,and have been tried to be Bullied by a lot Better Men than you...

Brewster, do you honestly believe that "rules" regarding Disclosure and Transparency will work? These people couldn't tell the truth if they tried, hard.
Who's going to do the background checks, Phelan? lmao

Wasn't sodaro under scrutiny for false statements on a petition? What's next Myrna?

Please welfare hawk.....don't you remember who tried to push sodaro under the bus....oh yeah.....andy, bob and dennis......whose name was on the front page of getting sodaro kicked off the ballot.......ANDY SKOUNDRIANOS!!!! wonder if andy is regretting listening to streit on that one and knowing that streit was really bothering the signatories on christmas eve......the whole thing was BS.

prophet12155~ If Andy had any he'd be singing like a lark about that whole Sodaro mess! LOL

Hey peanut gallery, I don't regret the Sodaro challenge one bit, If you can't even get 50 signatures right ,you don't deserve it anyways. I was not involved in bothering any signators period. Trustee Streit has chosen a new path, one most of his friends and long-time supporters including myself can not follow any longer.

Andy,
You should regret it because you and your bully friends attacked a good man and now your saying it wasn't you. Just Bob. Wow! You now admit that you had no evidence and went along with it?

So Andy....you admit that you had NOTHING to do with bothering the signatories of Sodaro's petitions, yet you let Streit use your name on the front of the challenge? Neighborhood guy.....you've got that right......about saying things about Sodaro and his family, a good family in the city of Oak Lawn. Andy did make it seem like Sodaro was a criminal and was he charged with anything....um, nope. And Andy, yes, you did attack the Sodaro family, by putting YOUR NAME on that challenge, yes you did!

No one on these blogs is independent We all have favorites Love the line their "all Bad" But so and so is worse cmon . Stop using fake names and I'll quit with the Den/Bob stuff Okay den/Bob

Neighborhood Guy, I attacked no one Once again if you don't do petitions right they get knocked off. I have been involved on both sides of a petition challenge before They are not fun. I think actually getting kicked off the ballot helped Bob's opponent He only lost by 7 votes

Andy,
What are you talking about? You and your bully friends knocked Dan Sodaro off the ballot. That was your name on the objection, not bob and not Dennis. Now you say you didn't attack anyone. Of course that's an attack and then you followed it up with vicious attacks on sodaro acting like he was some kind of criminal. I see a pattern here

Andy, by not doing the actual research yourself, yet putting your name at the top of my husband's challenge, that was attacking someone you didn't even know. Did you actually know that Bob went to our friends' home repeatedly during the holidays, knocking on their doors and asking their children questions? He harassed our friends and their kids and you just sat there blindly and followed him. You believed everything he said and sat in the meetings and laughed. Maybe you should have thought about the "path" Bob was taking then and has taken in the 20 years you have had blind faith in him. Dennis Brennan is no better and maybe even worse. You think that everyone on here is Bob/Dennis, but did you ever think that maybe people just HATE you and think you are an IDIOT because of what you did to my family and friends, for what you stand for and because you spew nonsense out of your keyboard and your mouth? I'm not Bob/Dennis and I can't stand you!

Ms. Sodaro How do you feel about the Mayor playing footsies now with Bob?? Dave gave $1,000 dollars and wrote a letter in support of Mr. Sodaro now he supports the man who ruined you and your families life!! Is he an idiot as well?? This story is about illegal methods used to rig a bidding process to benefit a trustees relative and who knew what and when not about a trustee race from 2 years ago!! Nice try at deflection though. Maybe Mr. Sodaro should run again in 2 years cause Bob is dead politically...

I think there should be a new term. Instead of calling Andy an Idiot, which isn't nice Dawn, we should call people that act like him an "Andiot". He never gets tired of babbling about himself even though he never had the courage to run like Dan, the Mayor or Bob Streit. But remember, Andiot has spoken!

Let's make a couple of things clear Andy....... First, just because Bob and Dave and Dennis ruined your life or whatever evil thing they have done to you, does NOT mean that my life or my family's life was ruined over an election. Second, I don't know exactly what I was trying to "deflect" from. I understand what the article is about.....underhanded politics and an investigation into a "dirty" trustee and whoever else. We were brought into this, once again, because 49.9999999% of the people who voted April 2011 believed Dan to be the better candidate because of issues such as what the article presents. I am commenting because I am tired of sitting back and letting my name be brought back into the fray without standing by my convictions. And in answer to your question, I'm not very happy about Dave "playing footsies" with Bob, but then again, Dan didn't get that trustee seat now, did he? Maybe you should actually try being honest with yourself and the readers of the Patch and answer some of the questions that have been posed to you.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!

You stepped over the line with this one, Andy. Speaking of someone's life being ruined is presumptive and arrogant. If you have the IP addresses of Messrs Heilmann/Sodaro/Streit/Brennan and can link them to any of the pseudonyms, then you can fire back. I'm sure you don't.

OLG, Once again I don't really have to explain anything to anyone, Someone attacks me they are getting it back period. Don't care who it is or who it isn't . If you don't think I know who is blogging after being with certain people over the years and have seen them blog before and what names they have used, I have some real cheap land in Florida for Ya. Since you are near the beatty property, I would worry about Dave/Bob/.Brennan plans for the property..

So you spent how much time with Ms Sodaro to recognize her patter or style? I didn't ask for or expect an explanation, just said you are not in a position to talk to someone's personal existence like that. Nor are you in a position to know exactly who it is writing these comments. That's a fact, you can carry on with your conjecture and the Dave/Bob/Bren stuff, it's boring as heck and carries little weight but if it makes you feel better, rock on.

That comes to about $700.00 a year in contributions. What about the Phelan crew? How much has he cashed in on? Although I'm sure it's well hidden .

Hey " Jack " Is that all you can do is slam trustees that voted against the bid rigging by Dave and Bob?? Deflect and Blame, Smoke & Mirrors That's your answer whenever something goes against Dave and his cronies.The voted for this they own it sad to say I think the FBI believes the same thing

I see that you wrote earlier that the,Trustees unanimously approved the contract!!!
Then later you write quote the voted for this they own it sd to say I think the fBI believes the same thing ...end quote
IF the trustees unanimously approved the contract, then they ALL own it !!
Deflect and Blame~Smoke and Mirrors to you, dirtbag

Man you guys must really be scared about the FBI!! The contract approved was not the rigged roofing bid contract. That vote was 4-3 with Dave casting the deciding vote along with Bob. you are just spewing out stuff and seeing what sticks.. I hope you get a good defense attorney you will need it

I bet if the Feds took a look at old uncle Lar's e-mail they would find that he's been pulling the strings on this issue from the beginning. Everyone is talking about "unauthorized documents" as if Uncle Lar checks out every bid package. Did everyone get the same "documents"? If so, where's the beef? I bet the FBI would look at anyone that was trying to conspire to use them as an issue is created. The word in the hall is that Lar and his attorney are beating the staff down constantly trying to get them to tell the story their way. When its over, I suspect it will really be over for some. Just sayin, don't jump to conclusions based on Uncle Lar and Tommy. They've never been honest before.............

I got to admit the postings are really fun 2 analyze 1 guy posts 40%

Sir you dont know the half of it :}

10% of people who vote in Oak Lawn, 40 % watch the meetings not sure of the circulation rates of the newspapers.... good question ..But yea the demographics of Oak Lawn suggest its is a direct mail word of mouth election
