On and on goes the political wrangling. The Scamocrats blame the Dupublicans, they both blame the independents and all at some point blame the President. The purpose of government is to follow the constitution as it applies to modern times and alter when possible or when necessary. We have 500 plus representatives who are not brave enough to tell their constituents the truth. The truth is: what each demand from them (The voters) will cost if instituted. We the people have been more responsible for the fiscal problems than we realize or care to know but our representatives know and continue to play on these demands to stay in office. The elected officials who under represent us have no interest in our understanding of what is involved in fiscal matters and how items are funded for this will cause a closer look at their pay, health care and retirement. These so called men and women of integrity bring shame on the word and need to be held accountable. The voters need to be told exactly where this money goes and what programs cost, instead they bring up race, religion and other distractions during elections to stay in office. If you as a person were the Government and buying a car, you ask the price, how much it will cost all in and how much financing will cost, once this information is known you decide the next step. Shouldn’t we as voters have the same information? Remember this should not be a popularity contest because your best friend can be a fool!


Recently I wrote a small blurb about the Illinois Governors Mansion and it lack of use by several of the last and current governors. This little article was sent to the local newspaper and printed , from that point it was picked up by a local radio station personality. I was contacted and went on the air to talk about my thoughts on this while in the process I mentioned that the mansion could used as a place for seances since the mansion has a history of ghostly activities. The initial story had more to do with the Governors spending more time in Chicago and very little time in the residence (actual living 7 room quarters located behind the formal Mansion) provided by the state. The “formal” residence has several non public areas that are used for state functions, these areas are offices and a few bedrooms used by state visitors. It has been reported by the year round maintenance staff and possibly some tour staffers that there are spectral occurrences in several areas. With this new information, it may be feasible to use the banquet size dining room as a seance area and the unused rooms in the residence and Mansion for a bed and breakfast ghost tour. This may not cure the fiscal ills of the state but it could generate some revenue and perhaps enough interest in the mansion to enable the levying of a fee to tour the mansion
