COMMENTARY: The list of communities include many (cities of DeKalb, Elgin, Joliet, Waukegan, and most of city of Aurora) which are not part of the 14th congressional district.
That said, these federal monies approved through real bipartisan cooperation and near unanimous support in Congress is welcome during this unprecedented national emergency challenging all.
McHenry County has been awarded a $830,790 Community Development Block Grant.
Our rotund leader has probably spent this in advance.
Reminds me of you get a car, you get a car, ad nauseam….
The problem was the 7,000 gift tax….

Free money to redistribute to parasites! No wonder she lionized this.
Has everybody lost their minds?
Don’t be taken in by all the propaganda. This thing is a classic power grab.
They’re always hiding something. It’s called c l a s s ified information. Its just that we actually had more real journalists and actual investigative journalism uncovering that information for the public. Now you have conglomerated media executives tabling the Epstein story for years.
Paul, if you were to force McHenry County to fully fund this block grant with their own money, it would come out to two dollars and 69 cents per person.
I don’t know how that reminds you of Oprah giving people cars for 7 thousand dollars other than to make the “point” that things cost money?
Underwood will also be hosting a multi-level marketing seminar, to help get the unemployed Private Sector back to work.
Stop covering up for Lauren Underwood and stop promoting her also. Be objective

What a pack of Lies. WE ONLY GOT $2.20 MILLION!
The average District got $21 million! Where is ours?
The rest went to cities and localities outside of our district like Aurora, DeKalb, Elgin, Joliet, Naperville, Waukegan and other localities!
WHY DOES UNDERWOOD DECEIVE US LIKE THIS?
She’s a dirty rotten corrupt political animal!
The average District got $22.2 million. #IL14 got SHORTCHANGED $20 MILLION.!
Unfortunately, Underwood has no influence in the Congress. Otherwise she would have told us beforehand how much money she got for our district.
ARE YOU GETTING SICK OF ALL THE LIES?
