Locate cannabis dispensary downtown

Waukegan finally gets it’s long awaited cannabis stores and in a brilliant move has decided to put the two of them in the same area. How stupid is that! And why both at Fountain Square and not one downtown where it could successfully generate business traffic (look at Highwood). Worst case scenario city hall doesn’t care about downtown, too empty, too old fashioned, too ethnic, too many people of color. Better to focus on Fountain Square the “New Waukegan.”

Public employees should pick up garbage they see

Question: If you’ve got public employees driving around why can’t they pick up the garbage? They see it on the main thruways. Why do we have the always call it in? They see the same things we do. So public works people, when you’re out working if you see it pick it up.

Please do story on car wash

How about a nice article about the car wash on Lewis Avenue? I understand recently it was sold. It was owned by a family for over 80 years. How about mentioning it and having Steve Sadin or Charles Selle looking into that. Great, great car wash place. I don’t live in Waukegan anymore, but I still go there to get my car washed. It’s the best there is. A company, a business over 80 years old. This is what we should be learning about. Thank you.

Bitcoin is Ponzi scheme

Bitcoin bit the dust and now these folks want their money. This is one of the largest Ponzi schemes, and the folks that lost out they all want their money. Where are they going to get their money? It looks like they’re looking at the citizens to bail them out again. I’m tired of bailing out banks and people that make the wrong decisions. Stop the madness. These are business people that wanted no regulations. They got no regulations and the coin bit them.

Pelosi not hard act to follow

Today the TOTC reflected an article that Pelosi will be a hard act to follow. Follow what? Tearing up the State of the Union Speech. Not to mention all the nonpartisan rhetoric she has done.

And as the congresswoman for San Francisco what has she done? and will do now for the next two years? This is a perfect example of oath taken and abused everyday.
