In May 2017, McHenry County Blog had series of 11 articles about the Crystal Lake Civic Center Authority and its relationship with the Raue Center for the Arts.

++++++++++
In Illinois law, Civic Center Authorities are a unit of local government.
Thus the Crystal Lake Civic Center Authority is a unit of local government separate from the City of Crystal Lake.
And you would be a fool to support such shenanigans. Oh, look. There’s four fools now.
We were sold this pile on the basis if the money was put up for the renovations, it would be self-supporting, and not need further taxpayer funding.
The lat and worst act of Bill Dwyer.
Hultgren is a loser.
He won’t dare name the enemy!
It’s called ‘controlled opposition’ …. I only wonder what they have on him. Is it worse than Hastert’s past?
