Everybody needs a side hustle these days, and mine is Ukraine, where I am now.

Audio and summary 
If this bill passes, say goodbye to local control over all Illinois parks and expect to see open drug and alcohol use, needles, no sanitation and fire hazards, but no ordinary park users.
The Illinois Comptroller’s count for Illinois’ nation leading units of local government is 8,529, one third are units of townships. Rep. Tom Weber, who is my representative, mentions failed leadership? Really?
When I leave a message on his cell phone, send emails, or phone his district or Springfield office requesting a meeting in regards of township government consolidation elimination there is complete rejection. This is failed leadership Mr. Weber!!! Weber’s Chief of Staff is a former supervisor of Palatine Township.
Townships will never be abolished, it’s a hotbed for corruption, nepotism and cronyism. No set hours for elected officials, taxpayer funded vehicles for road commissioners – that are supposed to be used for work only , not family vehicles to vacation with. And absolutely no experience required!
