COMMENTARY--Round Lake Area Fire District

What would you say if there was a multi-million dollar public agency in Round Lake that spends your tax dollars with out any say from you the tax-payer? Seem outrageous? Welcome to the independent kingdom of the Round Lake Fire Department. Like a kingdom they have hereditary positions passed down from father to son and from husband to wife, and whats better is the three board members are appointed by the county board chairman who is in Waukegan. In other words we as tax-payers have zero say in how our tax dollars have been spent.

The Fire Department Union has been passing these petitions diligently and they need quite alot to be handed in next Tuesday to the Fire Protection Board who are mandated to turn them over so the following questions can be placed on the ballot in February of 2008.

Shall the trustees of the Greater Round Lake Fire Protection District be elected rather then appointed?

Shall the number of trustees of the Greater Round
Lake Fire Protection District be increased from 3 to 5?
They need your your help with getting more signatures, becuase the dirty tricks that are being used on businesses that the union firefighters are standing outside of are stunning so they need to make sure there are tons of signatures on the petitions and taxpayers can finally take control of where there tax dollars are being spent!

If you want to help you can download the first and second petitions here.
