Lou Bianchi has destroyed our judicial system in McHenry County. He has corrupted our court  judge’s, falsified trial evidence and strong hold the community. Lou Bianchi continues to misuse taxpayer money.

Lou Bianchi had expense about $60,000 in reimbursements since he took office. This included many meals and travel…. eating and playing on our tax dollars just isn’t right. Again, Lou Bianchi is mixing political campaigning with official business. Lou Bianchi’s booth at the Crystal Lake Expo is another example. Lou Bianchi cannot mix official community outreach efforts and political campaigning. If he used taxpayer money and we all know that he did, it is a violation of the Illinois Election Interference Act.

Illinois State Board of Elections records reveal that Cynor’s opponent, Louis Bianchi (R-Crystal Lake, Illinois) however, has accepted thousands of dollars from various county contractors and other special interests. Those same records indicate that Bianchi even went as far as accepting thousands of dollars from the very same contractors who where awarded a multimillion dollar deal to remodel the government center and Bianchi’s own governmental office. Cynor stated, “When you take money from government contractors and then those same contractors get multimillion dollar county contracts, eyebrows raise. The State’s Attorney is the people’s lawyer, they should never have reason to question the loyalty of their own legal representation. If Bianchi were called upon to represent the county in a contract dispute against his major political contributors, whose interests would he be representing?”

We need strong independent leadership for McHenry County’s future!

It is time for a change!

This November………..

WOODSTOCK IL. – The committee, Citizens for Cynor, announced a fundraising event today for McHenry County State’s Attorney Candidate, Thomas J. Cynor (D-Woodstock, Illinois). The event is scheduled for September 23, 2008 (7:30 p.m. – 9:30 p.m.) at the Stage Left Café in downtown Woodstock. “The fund raising event is typical in most regards,” said campaign coordinator, Laura Asbury, “except for one very important detail. Mr. Cynor has pledged both privately and publically that he will not accept government contractor or vendor contributions – not now, not ever.”

McHenry County Council of Governments, are they just wasting time and our tax money?

Just like Lou Bianchi, I feel our tax dollars continually are being missed used by the McHenry County Council of Governments. I am not claiming to be highly political suave, but I do not think we are getting any bang for our buck. Has anyone seen any good that has come out of this council? All I see are higher and higher taxes, higher utilities, very dumb ordnances and more police issues.

McHenry County Council of Governments

Mission Statement

The McHenry County Council of Governments is a cohesive network of governmental bodies who seek to foster cooperation between all levels of government.  The purpose of the McHenry County Council of Governments is to uphold and advocate principles of effective local government, facilitate solutions to regional issues and otherwise lessen the burdens of government.

What? What? What does this mean?

McHenry County Council of Governments is made up of all the mayors and village presidents. Most of them have a hard time running their own town or village. Do you think it is wise to trust in them to “uphold and advocate principles of effective local government, facilitate solutions to regional issues and otherwise lessen the burdens of government”?  How about applying your principles to the place you govern first? Let start off by cleaning up local law enforcement. When you have rogue cops, it should be your responsibility to make sure that they are let go and the appropriate action is taken against them. All I have seen for the last few years is they are forced to resign in good standing and with a good recommendation. Thus, moving on to another place causing the same problems, in turn going through the whole speigle again, resigning  in good standing and with a good recommendation. Could any of the government bodies explain this? If it is because of the “cost” to train a new officer? I’d rather go with cost than some wacko with a gun. Anytime you transfer your bad apples to another village, town or whatever, you put citizens at risk.

Here is something else to work on: city or village employment and work ethics. What is with hiring family, friends of family, friends of friends, etc? Money is being wasted here as well. I am tired of seeing five people at a work site. One guy sits in the truck, one guy digs (or whatever he is doing) and three guys stand and watch. Another one that comes to mind is the Mickey mouse street patches. Route 31 up to about Bull Valley Road is a joke. The street is so lumpy that it’s best off being shut down and fixed right before people start losing tires or other vehicle parts. I do not know how many times they had the five man crew filling holes. It doesn’t last, why not just fix it right and stop wasting money and resources?

This is just the beginning of a very long list.

If these mayors or village presidents cannot take care of things individually, how effective can they be when they get  together?

Corruption is undermining justice which is denying the basic human right to a fair trial of the innocent.

I would like to congratulate Volstad and Pilati for their victory against a corrupted judicial system.
It is nice to see that even Judge Joseph Condon could not ignore the fact that Louis Bianchi and Nichole Owens tampered with crucial evidence in the case. There is nothing more incriminating than having two audios of the call to 911 and having them being different. Let’s not forget that William Kroncke handed over the remix. Also, he was probably responsible for the missing video tape that was taken from a gas station across the way that might have captured the whole thing. What video tape!? You will have to ask Nichole Owens about this one.

The way I see it, 90 days in jail and 2 years probation is much better than 5 years in prison. There lies the victory. Who knows, they might only serve half of that.

Louis Bianchi is nothing but a snake. He has been a terrible State’s Attorney. The Northwest Herald has portrays Louis Bianchi as some kind of "Hero" for convicting high profile cases. How many of those case had the evidence been tampered with? Hey Bianchi? Like the cops from the Fox Lake bar beating. It must of been nice to of  had a tempered recording. The Northwest Herald never mentioned that. Why? How about illegal wire taps? Boy did Bianchi waste a good sum of our tax dollars on unnecessary and illegal wire taps…. and got nothing!
The list goes on and on. Bianchi will find some other way to buy his candy and eat on our tax dollars.
Lets not forget that he seems to hate Army Reservists. You have to admit, he treats his people very poorly.
Louis Bianchi is bad for McHenry County. He has to resort to law breaking measures in order to get his convictions. Truly innocent people in McHenry County will never get a fair trial while Bianchi is in office. If you look at his cases, more criminals go free while innocent people go to prison.
One thing about the Northwest Herald, they will never print the truth. The county government has this paper wrapped around their finger. I bet they were some how forced or bribed into endorsing Bianchi…. which is unethical for a printed  newspaper to do.

State Statue 56 il adm code 300 730 300 820 states that unless an agreement is signed an employer cannot take out any fines, missing money from the register, or anything that was broken in the store out of wages of an employee. However, don’t forget, our City Clerk and her husband paid the employee mentioned in cash, not in legal wages. They have broken many laws and I have to say that many, many politicians lost their right to hold office or were thrown out of elections based on far less, such as not withholding taxes for a nanny or a gardener.

Theresa Hoschover is an ELECTED official who is sworn to uphold the law, yet she obviously thinks little about the laws she breaks in this town.

How many other people have they employed illegally?

Our City Clerk, Theressa A. Hoschouer works for us, and is paid a salary from our TAXPAYER DOLLARS, but apparently doesn’t believe in paying taxes herself. She and her husband, Steven M. Hoschouer own and operate the Marengo Convenient Mart on 176, next to Rosati’s Pizza. It’s name portrays it to be a Convenient Mart, but it is merely a liquor store masquerading as a knock off 7-11 or White Hen. I would certainly make a fair guess that 95% plus of it’s gross income is derived from alcohol sales. But is the true nature of the business all that our elected official, City Clerk Theressa Hoschouer and her husband Steve are hiding? Not by a long shot. You know those pesky taxes they we are all required to pay? And if you are an employer, all those additional taxes you are required to pay to both the State of IL and to the Federal Government? Well, apparently, the Hoschouer clan doesn’t think they need to follow those laws like the rest of us do. They chose to lie to their employees, cheat the government, take an unfair advantage against their competitors, and just pay employees cash. Not to mention insurance fraud for failing to properly cover their employees with the required workers compensation insurance. Many a political offical, even on a national level has seen their political careers stumble into the abyss due to not following these exact same laws.

But it is not just state and federal tax withholding laws that have been broken. Isn’t our nation under scrutiny to properly screen employees, and make them present valid proof of identification before they can work? Not if you apply at the Marengo Convenient Mart. Just show up, get paid in cash, do whatever the owners demand and life is good. More violations of federal laws by our City Clerk and her husband. One would think that for all the Marengo police officers that spend countless hours a day there drinking coffee and socializing, the owners would be a bit more law abiding, but apparently not. No need to. Not when clout is on your side.

Recently, The IL State Police conducted an underage alcohol purchase sting at the Convenient Mart, and an employee inadvertently sold alcohol to a 20 year old woman. Why did he fail to check her I.D? Because the two State Police Officers, Hispanic Males in their mid 20s, were shouting and yelling at the employee to be allowed to use the restroom when the woman walked in and purchased her bottle of wine. This was after the two wandered around the store for 10 minutes, and did nothing but glare at the employee. The cashier was distracted and nervous, actions caused by the IL State Police, who laughed about their charade as they arrested the cashier. The employee, a student at the Moody Bible Institute, was fined $500.00. Not only was he fined, but the owners, our City Clerk and her husband were also fined $500.00. The employee paid his $500.00 fine. The store owners? They lied to and strung out the employee, not paying him his salary, always having some excuse as to why they couldn’t pay him. On December 24th, they asked the employee to work the entire day on Christmas. He explained to them that he was going to be working and active at his church the entire day on Christmas, and could not work it. They told him to come into work several days later. When he arrived, he was handed a note, stating that he was fired for not working on Christmas, and he would not be receiving any of his back pay because he sold alcohol to a minor several months ago. Again, these are clear cut violations of both federal and state laws being done in Marengo, by our City Clerk.

This city has a history of standing behind elected officials who commit crimes. Will our City Clerk be right there with them? Or is it about time we demand that our elected officials follow the same laws that the rest of us have to follow? Who regulates liquor licenses in our city? Isn’t it done through the city clerks office?

The State of IL and The Federal Government have been made aware of the alleged crimes committed by Theressa and Steven Hoschouer. After they investigate them and deem the allegations valid, will our mayor and alderman take action against our city clerk? I really doubt it. If you are a “friend” to those in city hall, you can do no wrong. It seems to be the Marengo way. Let’s wait and see.
