Why are we getting a winter newsletter on the first day of spring? Are these people daft?
“I and the Board of Trustees”. Abboud is either illiterate or a monumental egotist (or both) forsaking third grade grammer because he needs to be first. It reads like nails on a chalk board. Even the editor of the Village Newsletter couldn’t or wouldn’t save Abboud.
This phrase tells you all you need to know about Abboud. Count the number of references to “I” in the Newsletter and wonder why we call it the Village Newsletter and not Pravda.
Abboud, on the issue of real estate taxes what is the status of all those FOIAs’ you were going to issue on various McHenry County municipalities and McHenry County you promised more than a year ago? Remember, you were going to get the “evidence” that B.H. residents in McHenry County were being over assessed and you personally were going to get to the bottom of this? Thought we would forget. We didn’t, but it looks like you did.
As I recall, this was the same meeting at Countryside School where you as the self proclaimed erudite of the Federalist Papers referenced Thomas Jefferson’s work in these papers specifically relating to “referendum”.
Of course those of us with a rudimentary knowledge of the Federalist Papers know it was Alexander Hamilton and James Madison who authored the Federalist Papers with some participation from John Jay. Nowhere in the Federalist Papers is the word “referendum” mentioned. You may recall in the Federalist Papers, Messrs. Hamilton and Madison used the nom de plume, “Publius”. I am sure through some of you other readings you are familiar with this name.
To paraphrase another great American, Abraham Lincoln, You may fool the “B.H. Riding Club” some of the time (actually all of the time) but no longer can you fool the rest of us at any time.
