Here we go again
I’m calling about that bridge again. I wrote a letter the last time that happened and said all they had to do was put big concrete barriers out there, off the road, and there would be no truck getting through. But dumber than dumb people don’t listen to anything. So here we go again.
Union-busting
Waukegan is going through union negotiations. Mayor, please don’t thank your union members with a pat on the back or a pat on the head. When we have the tools, we do our job and we do it well. You have openly thanked us. Now show us the money. You have no problem rewarding your department head, department chief of staff, or your administrators with a nice salary increase. However, when it comes to the union members, what you’re doing is union-busting and giving us the minimum. That’s an insult to your employees.

Not an everyday occurrence
It looks like AOC has been arrested for protesting. Yes, I guess it’s OK because she’s a lefty. She can go ahead and protest, which is fine and dandy because she didn’t enter the building. However, she’s pretending and putting on a show that she was handcuffed. There’s no handcuffs on her, people. This is how far the left will go. Protesting the reversal of Roe versus Wade. No one is saying you cannot have an abortion. You may have to go to the neighbors next door or another state to have your abortion done. If it’s your life, you will still have your abortion. It’s just not going to be an everyday occurrence for some women who love to have abortions.
Bring back death penalty
I would like to know what’s happening to the idiot that did all the shooting at the Highland Park Independence Day Parade. We don’t hear anything about him. We see about the poor people that died because of this idiot. I think there’s people out there that want to know what’s happening with him. I mean, the man doesn’t deserve to live for what he did to these people. He’s a criminal; he took lives. His life should be taken. I’m sorry, the death penalty needs to come back.
Throw the book at them
Assault weapons only cause two or three shootings, but if you punish the criminals they don’t do it again. Like Kim Fox in Chicago. All she does is slap them on the wrist and put them back on the street so they can do it again. Do your job and lock them up. Throw the book at them.
