Wisconsin or Illinois?

School District 46 in Grayslake has had a stunning couple of months.

Most recently, the last 2 weeks have proven to be Wisconsin-type politics
brought to Grayslake.

Michael Carbone, school board member, was targeted and censured based
upon allegations only. He was not allowed any due process prior to the censure.

On the other hand, the school board president, Mary Garcia, and Sue Facklam,
the vice-president and secretary, have had charges filed with the state's
attorney's office. There is an investigation pending.

You have to ask...why was the school board so quick to censure Michael Carbone, and
investigating allegations into Mary Garcia and Sue Facklam?

The answer is simple and obvious: Michael Carbone has exposed the corruption and
cronyism that exists on the school board and within the district.

Michael has brought to light, through his efforts at making the district more
transparent, some of the old politics and favors that have permeated that school
district as well as others throughout this state and this country.

You have to ask yourself: what do they have to hide? Why fight the transparency?
What are they doing that they don't want to be found out?

Time for Mary and Sue to be held accountable.
