How Dysfunctional My Village of Lakewood Is

Sorry to bore readers with the travails of my hometown, but its problems are a bit too much to ignore.

The latest episode of a continuing drama worthy of daytime TV involves still another Special Meeting…right before regime change.

It seems to have pretty much the same content as the meeting on Tuesday.

My email arrived at 7:07 PM on Wednesday night.

It’s for a meeting to be held Friday at 6 PM. Whether that meets what I remember as a two-day required notice or not might be open to question.

In any event, take a look at the email:

To make it easier to link let me copy the Zoom informaiton below:

This meeting will be held remotely via zoom andcan be accessed by clicking on the following link:

Public comments will be accepted until 5:00 pm on Friday, April 23, 2021 by email to jsmith@village.lakewood.il.us

There is a 56-page agenda packet.

Outgoing President Phil Stephan’s last minute selection of Janet Barron to replace just resigned Doug Ulrich tops the agenda, so it appears this meeting will be a repeat of last Tuesday’s.

Maybe the failure to allow public comment at the 6 PM Budget Heating made Tuesday’s meeting illegal.

Public comment is not at the top of the Agenda. It comes after the appointment (re-appointment?) of Barron.

Sale of RedTail lots and approval of golf club employee bonuses totaling $25,000 come last again.

How Dysfunctional My Village of Lakewood Is — 6 Comments

  1. Thank You Cal, your Comment is truthful and honest.

    Lakewood Residents/Taxpayer’s had better take note on what is going on, or the Left will be running your Village, with Governor Pritzker’s Blessings.

  2. If Phil Stephan wasn’t too cowardly to face his constituents, the incompetence of CAO Smith and her again anda again and again repeated inability to run a zoom meeting would not be an issue.

    Is it possible that Jeannine Smith is really this incompetent and technologically challenged?

    Or is this just part of the cover-up for her and Phil Stephan’s misdoings?

  3. LITTLE phil and BLOATED FACE jeannie ARE INCOMPETENT

    I think LITTLE phil wants one more time in front of the camera and Jeannie please don’t get to close to the camera with that big bloated face.

    The camera already adds 10 pounds to it.

    Speaking of cameras we are looking for a couple of fairy TROLLS for our new musical “LAST DAY TROLLS”.

    Opening day is Wednesday the 28th.

    No need for makeup for Jeannie but LITTLE phil we’re going to have to put it on heavy to cover your purple face.

    I can see LITTLE phil prancing around in a pink tutu and Jeannie following him around like a lost jacka$$.

    If you’re interested please don’t be hesitate to reach out to me.

    Cheers

    The Producer

  4. a question – how is it that those Red Tail lots were on the market for years and suddenly sold as Phil leave office?
