Criticism to Censorship: Illinois Village attempts to Silence Chinese Battery Factory Critics – Country Herald

The Village of Manteno is signaling a clear message: it’s done with the relentless criticism surrounding its Gotion Chinese deal. In a bold act following very intense opposition voiced in two town meetings, the Village channels an authoritarian tone.Comments found themselves disabled when the Village released an FAQ sheet, coupled with a promotional video courtesy of Gotion.

Does WP know of a PAC that would be willing to fund advertising against this plant and giving Commie’s our money? I will happily donate.

JB only won by a few % against a terrible social conservative candidate. I Thank Proft for keeping it as close as it was in this gerrymandered Dem utopia. Start engaging middle class suburban women about something other then Abortion and the ship can sail the other way.

A few percentage points? lol

Some of you really do live in your own fantasy land. I guess losing by over 12 percentage points is now considered close. Maybe next time the GOP will only lose by single digits. Wouldn’t that be something special.

If allowed due process, communities are allowed to present evidence of potential adverse consequences to themselves. By denying Manteno citizens their legal rights, Manteno governments are sitting judges, essentially allowing only plaintiff to speak and forcing defendants to remain silent.

Manteno residents need a lawyer to enforce OMA.
Manteno residents should already be flooding every Manteno government body (and complicit Illinois State offices)with FOIA requests for disgorgement of communication records with Gotion and one another.

We are seeing more arrogance and total dismissal of the people by these public serpents. Hopefully they will continue to overplay their hand and wake more people up. Disgraceful.
