Will someone on our village board please step up and put an end to his political flatulence? Clearly Abboud contacted the reporter to get his name in the paper again only to have it backfire in his and resident’s faces. East Dundee’s president took Abboud to the woodshed again if you read the last paragraph:
“It’s another example of where Mr. Abboud always knows better,” Bartels said. “I think it confirms that Wheeling, as well as East Dundee, are well equipped to make our own decisions without the approval or cross examination of Mr. Abboud.”
