Well...seems like LarryBoy kinda stepped in his own doodo...
he apparently pens this blistering attack on Ald. Carl Wasco , our economy, our state legislature, and past union contracts, snow storms and budget shortfalls , WHEW...
BUT,seems this diatribe was planned BEFORE good "Old TightSuit" Hayes came thru....
"ROCKFORD — The union representing nearly 300 union firefighters agreed to a two-year wage freeze Friday, ending a tense bargaining impasse with city officials..."


Matter of fact, though I didn't see the RRStar rag itself, a commenter online states, ".... I wasn't even sure I was reading the same article, as the one in the paper starts out with the mayor expressing gratitude to the firefighters union for the tentative agreement reached Friday. Nowhere in there is Carl Wasco's name mentioned. Did the mayor write two versions of this, or was this how the RRS chose to edit, and if so, why? Are online readers being baited by the construction of articles emphasizing personal attacks?...".

Well, in LarryBoy's Empire, facts and HIS statements remain fluid,ever-adapting to his whim...
I still can't get over his continual "... We will have spent approximately $12 million of our reserves due to snow storms and budget shortfalls over the last two years...."
SO WHY DOES NO ONE QUESTION THIS $12million 'shortfall'? I'll tell you why...the LarryBoy pet projects...hockey team,MetroCentre,non-producing TIF districts, increased bureaucracy,etc.etc., are the REASONS plain and simple....And no one will tell the lil emporer he has no clothes!!!!!
