Look at the stations...my gosh..whole bunch of office space..sleeping quarters...extra bays. Where have you been..?? Not paying taxes in Plainfield. And I have nothing but respect for the Fire Service, but when the Plainfield District gets an open checkbook to build whatever they want, buy what they want and nobody says boo...well, just go back to the attendance at the last levy..only one person w/o a connection to the FD...but I guess, I am the only one who can see through the smoke and mirrors..so be it.  (15 hrs ago | post #8)

These two "pretenders " are really a laugh..as is the Plainfield Republican Party....or better yet a figgin joke!! And the two local "RAGS" actually write about these idiots. When these two get old enough to shave, then most actually take these "pretenders " seriously. And MAYBE when the Plainfield GOP grows up..they will know how to actually file a proper D-1...or an on-time D-2. Oh, and these two are OFFICERS of the organization...and they want to unseat Cross....yea right...when pigs fly.  (Yesterday | post #3)

This can be said of the Fire Protection District, as well. Check out the new stations around the district.  (Monday Nov 23 | post #4)

Has anyone had a problem while driving past St. Mary's on Howard S...

Opps..I stand corrected..the road is not Howard, but Frederick.  (Monday Nov 23 | post #2)

Has anyone had a problem while driving past St. Mary's on Howard S...

Just thought I would throw this out there...on weekdays around 2:30 pm you have the school buses lines up...on evenings you have the CCD / Confirmation parents lines up to drop-off / pick up kids. Just appears strange at times the road behind St. Mary's (Howard Street) becomes a one lane road. And the opposing cars are forced to play "Chicken ". NO COPS either....NEVER... well, they did put out a speed limit reminder a couple times. The people living on this street by the school cannot even use the front of their home for parking...NEVER... is it not permitted. Oh, and over the last 3 years...the road has been resurfaced TWICE and widened between the resurfacing to allow a fire truck to "squeeze by" the parked school busses or get past the line of cars in the evening. My thought...."o h my gosh"...this is a HUGE parish (one of the largest in the NATION) w/ a bunch of potential voters...Heaven forbid...The church would be asked to change how the busses line up or PAY for street widening to accommodate the busses or cars. I for one am just waiting for a bad wreck or worse on day (and hopefully, this does not happen!!) And this was brought up to the last Plainfield administration and dismissed w/o comment...Mayor Waldorf...and a one-time St. Mary school principle…hmmmm???  (Monday Nov 23 | post #1)

Are Moderates the Future of the PLFD GOP?

No offense, but I have not kept up with the names of Plainfield area subdivisions...is this in the Village of Plainfield?? Heck, on another note, I have yet to find out where the Village Hall is located in “NORTH Plainfield”….or find the so-called area named on a map…and I have been around this area since the early 1970’s. Last time I looked at my voter card it indicates I live in the Village of Plainfield. And our mayor is officially the VILLAGE PRESIDENT (this mayor crap started under Waldorf)  (Monday Nov 23 | post #8)

And let us not forget the "just deserved" pay and "EXTRAS" bestowed upon Plainfield School District Superintendant Harper....and I just cannot get the fact out of my mind about the HUGE (sic) voter turnout at the last election. WE ALLOW this "CRAP" to continue...let's just keep having the DO NOTHING TEA PARTIES and don't forget to smile nice for the FOX NEWS cameras....only through the action of voting to retain or replace someone, even voting to reject or support a referendum can people begin to change things. So, when we have turnouts like the last election, then only those who cast a vote have a right, in my eyes, to complain about anything local. Politicians…no matter who it is (in my opinion) will sell their soul to the devil if it means getting elected…ever notice how incumbent Politian’s like Cross, Biggert, Halvorson, Quinn television and print articles start popping up during election season, touting their accomplishments? Simply put: they wish to remain in power!  (Monday Nov 23 | post #2)

Are Moderates the Future of the PLFD GOP?

Who really gives a crap about GOP Plainfield..they bite the hand that feeds them (Tom Cross) and do not even know how to report to the State Board properly...and have a bunch of "Wannabees " running the local party...what a joke! And do not even bring up the 10% of the 18% voters (oh yea...closer to 17%) who cast a ballot in the last election for the Republicans. Sorry if this offends some of you "Wannabees " but this what it is!! Village of Plainfield people downtown VOTE and they have a right to BITCH...the rest, well...SHUT UP! So, about those leaving the Democrats...well, they are probably not part of the 18% who voted in the last election...they just want someone to bitch about and find a simpathetic ear and shoulder to cry on.  (Wednesday Nov 18 | post #6)

Retired state cop could take helm in Plainfield

Good point...but you missed the whole intent on this thread. Plainfield is laying off folks...hey, the new top cop has a pension and should be sitting in a boat fishing. Hire from within an keep people working. By the way, thank you for your service and well deserved retirement!  (Monday Nov 16 | post #44)
