Todd doesn't even know the details of the laws he is arguing. The accusations he makes have no supporting evidence whatsoever, and in fact are often proven to be an incorrect or flat out deceptive interpretation of the rules. Seriously, read the comments in his past posts. There are plenty of REAL links in the comments to state govt websites,. and sites other than the ones Todd owns, that shatter the delusions he is trying to present.

Are you aware that phone bills use your contact information out of your phone book and print that on the bill? In what way at all is sticking to the legal requirements of a FOIA request, somehow 'evil and corrupt'? Todd then arrives at the conclusion these are 'personal calls'. How exactly is that determined? I mean it, how EXACTLY is that determined?

Nowhere in Todds latest diatribe does he PROVE anything, other than his constant tendency to see things that aren't there. And to then ignore the proof that he is not only wrong, but embarrassingly wrong.

If you can't tell that Todd is making up stories that are not supported by the 'evidence' he provides, you are no more able to think rationally than Todd. Here's a hint, when the only supporting evidence Todd can provide, are links to websites that his neighbor on Cotswold dr owns, it means there is not one single piece of evidence to support his claims. It borders on fraud.

Wow! Todd is taking credit for his neighbors information?? That's like plagiarism at its best... Tim, is that what you are posting? NOOOoooo. Todd would never do a crazy thing like that..

Nothing in these documents PROVES that it was not business related. All it 'proves' is that these were personal identifiable phone numbers making calls to the county coroner. The majority of which are incoming, which of course Todd fails to mention because it shatters his deck-of-cards 'conspiracy'. Todd, with his ever present paranoid delusions, always assumes the worst(especially when it is his specific political opponent),

There is no proof presented here to sustain the accusations that Todd is making, as usual. Given Todds track record to massively misunderstand things, and jump to the wrong conclusions, I see no reason whatsoever to put any credence into his latest political delusions.

What Todd also fails to explain, is that these numbers are blacked out, not because they are 'personal calls', as he claims, but because of the way ATT handles its billing. Any personal contact information in the cellphone phone book, will then be shown on the bill under that exact name. Personally identifying information of a non-government employee(of which the coroner deals with many in the course of his duties) is not accessible under a FOIA act, and for how many he has submitted I find it odd that Todd isn't aware of this. Of course, its just one more thing he doesn't understand, and then creates a fictional story around.

So what if he retires in Phoenix. Sounds like your jealous. Is this the argument that the Todd Milliron for.. opps sorry Michael Dabney campaign run by Todd has stooped too? Where he retires? Really.

Don't worry! I have all of those FOIA's in my hands.... This article is another huge joke.. What does he(Todd) expect these people to do? Get the calls by land phones?? And how are they to be notified if someone passes?? By smoke signals? Give me a break. This guy is so despite to bury anyone he has a grudge with, he'll even deny the truth about his own candidate he supports financially and runs the guys campaign. Again Todd identify yourself, in the article, as a person that is biased against the guy who is in the office now. Right Campaign Director Todd for the Committee to elect Michael Dabney. All people please refer to Case # 2010 CH 001118 HSBC mortgage Vs. Kathy and Michael Dabney.

Jake,

Post your FOIA's on Dabney, if you really have them. Otherwise why should anyone take anything you say anymore seriously than you making a UFO sighting claim.

Stephen,
Since you obviously need some hand-holding on this.

click here;
http://www.co.kendall.il.us/circuitclerk/eMagnus.html
Click 'Case Number'
Type '2010CH001118'

There you go Stephen, the foreclosure details as you requested. And you will notice this is an actual authoritative source, not just some site I run by myself and try to pawn off as authoritative as Todd continues to do. You can even click on the 'show judgements' to get a detailed list of financial court judgments against Mr Dabney.

Todd and Mr. Dabney wanted to make this a personal issue from the beginning, not one time focusing on the actual technical requirements and duties of the job.

So, Todd, if you want to judge candidates based on the things that YOU claim are important, how do you support a candidate that doesn't even live up to the standards you are attacking the current office holder with using made up stories that turn out to be baseless?

Hi Tim,

Why wait forTodd, why don't you join with me and encourage Jake Delrose to post the results of his FOIA on the Oswego FD information that you are looking for. Jake, we're waiting.

Good idea Stephen.

Jake, I hope you can find a way to get the information scanned. Kinko's will usually scan documents to a digital format for a reasonable price.

If you are unable to put the documents online anywhere after you get the documents scanned, email a copy of them to tim.near.yorkville@gmail.com and I will put them into html links for everyone to be able to view, and post them in these threads.

Hope to hear from you soon

Tim & Jake,
Please exercise your Right to do a FOIA request. Please remember you will have to put your request in writing, use your real & full name with your address. Be prepared to provide a photo ID & prove who you are.

Please come & join me in the sunlight, you are invited & welcome to participate outside the shadows of cloaking ambiguity, where you shall take true ownership for your rhetoric or written words as I do.

You are welcome to your own conclusions regarding this blog. I stated the obvious, which was the number of redacted “personal” numbers claimed under Section 7(1) (b) that were redacted by the Kendall County Coroner’s Office. You can choose to spin it anyway; you want & speculate all you want. I did not say the Kendall County Coroner was hiding anything in this blog. I do think texting a family member of a loved one who has passed on may not be the most sensitive and human approach, but that is my opinion.

From experience, what is usually reacted is the same number, repeatedly. If it were a paid pathologist in La Grange as Tim has speculated, this pathologist would have received a fee for service. His/her office number during regular office hours would be fair game because there would have been government business conducted for compensation for a needed government service. It is no longer personal once government money changes hands. Mr. Toftoy does have family in Newark, but there too could also be a pathologist in Newark I don't know about.

Todd, the foreclosure and judgements against Mr Dabney are already posted here. The source is provided, and is authoritative. It is not some guys hobby website.

There is no 'speculation' involved, it is a legal court judgement. This is against the candidate that you claim is the 'fiscally responsible' alternative to the existing office holder.

You either made a huge mistake in ignoring this fact, or you deliberately ignored it because it shows your supported candidate is not responsible. There is no appeal, there is no ambiguity or confusion, it is an actual fact.

The whole point of what most people have been posting and criticizing you for, is that you are NOT interested in the taxpayers, you are only interested in your own political games. It is clear now that you are wasting taxpayer resources in a sad attempt to dig up any information possible to smear the name of your candidate, while ignoring the already established and documented issues with those you support.

So it looks like you have some exaplining of your own to do, Todd. Either you gave Mr Dabney a free pass and didn't even attempt a single FOIA for his government position, or you did and you are leaving out the facts that directly contradict what you are claiming. Neither of these two possibilities makes anyone think you are on the side of 'sunshine'.

Maybe next time, you will decide it is better to talk about the actual technical responsibilities and duties of the job.

Hi Ron,
Todd isn't swinging at his opponent. Todd is not running for Coroner. Dabney hasn't taken any swings at Toftoy, personally. He has only stated that there is no need for the Coroner's Office to have credit cards. I suppose you could say that the raffle was a possible take on Toftoy's statements in the papers, about eating filet mignon, on the county credit card. However, it was done in fun. So much so that Mr. Toftoy bought a ticket, and half the proceeds went to a good cause (CASA). I don't see where Todd has invoked the name of Mike Dabney, as an endorsement theme, either.

Hi Jake,

Tim, and I are waiting for the FOIA's that you supposedly have about Mike Dabney's personnel file at the Oswego FD. Please post them, or at least admit that you made all of your accusations against Mike Dabney up.

Hey Jake,

Can we call you by your initials (J.D.)? Or should we call you Jim?

Youhanaie,

So when I put the info on the table, what have you brought but a video that never claims the things that you have?

Let's make a bet. When I post the things that would put the Dabney campaign out of the race by my FOIA's, you'll never post on the patch again during this race?? If your a man of your word? If I never post them(FOIA's), I will never comment on a Todd Milliron article. Sounds like a deal? right?

Balls is in your court, Youhanaie. Deal or no deal. Your Choice.

H Jak,
Show them, or allow the public to see the results of your FOIA requests, in any fashion, by close of business 5 pm, today, and you have a deal. I won't blog on this race again. Also, you must post any, and all individuals that submitted the requests, just as Todd does for his FOIA requests. You said that you had these for days.

Youhanaie,

I have to wait for the Government officials to turn over the FOIA information. So I apologize for this inconvenience to the time you are requesting. You will get them this weekend from this site. My challenge still stands to you. Are you willing to take it or not?

I took a cut in pay to help pay our soldiers travel pay right after 9/11. When most of the work was done, I went back to my original profession. I don't need your insults, or your fabrications. You said that you had the information on Dabney, a few days ago. Now you say that you are waiting on this information. Sounds like you made this up. Your words, not mine:Jake Delrose
1:51 am on Sunday, September 16, 2012

Don't worry! I have all of those FOIA's in my hands....

So, since you've countered yourself, why should we believe anything that you post from now on?

Youhanaie,

Like I said before:

12:13 pm on Tuesday, September 18, 2012

Like I said, anybody that wants to meet me, be my guest and then get ready to apologize to all of the people you have accused of posting on here that have not.

Man, I cannot believe it took me this long to figure it out..., Stephen Youhanaie works for the Dabney Campaign as one of their lackeys.

I met Toftoy once and I liked the guy because he was professional and compassionate to the family I knew that had to deal with a death.
Why do I have a vested interest in this contest? Simple. Who can stand a man, that lives in the county, looking to make other people's lives hell while they are trying to provide a service to the public in an honest fashion? That is Todd Milliron. He provides great narratives to FOIAed information that he does not even know the functions and details to the departments of the county. He has lost so many different elections that he carries his grudges to whatever election he can take it to and uses a great skill that he has, focusing and distorting with zeal unlike any person I have seen before.

Unfortunately he was not able to get his court case, that he requested jurors, for a seat belt violation. How much did that cost the county to prosecute Todd? and was that unnecessary for Todd to carry on in this fashion when he knew he was guilty?

Yes it is his right to a jury trial and such forth, but coming from a guy that touts fiscal responsibility.... Hypocritical.

Thanks Todd (Campaign Manager for Michael Dabney) for costing the County thousands of dollars for your FOIAs.

Remember anyone addressing Todd please use his official title, Campaign Manager for Michael Dabney

You are aware that Mike Dabney is not even running as a republican, right?

Jake already contacted me at the email address I left above. In the meantime, how is Mike Dabney having a court judgement just over 12 months ago for a foreclosed home, 'fiscally responsible'? The link is right here, there is no 'waiting' involved to see it. The Kendall County Recorder has it on file. Are you going to ignore it, and pretend it doesn't exist?

Since Todd loves to speculate so much, heres one;
Mike Dabney was quoted as saying he would 'get rid of' credit cards for the office. In light of the recently discovered court judgements against him, It seems likely that he is legally unable to have his name on one as a result of those judgements against him. This is something he should have disclosed on his own, instead of having it come out later and appear that it was something he was hiding.

Right now, Mike Dabney looks like he has been misrepresenting his 'fiscal responsibility' claims, and Todd looks like he has abused a taxpayer services for the sole purpose of political grudges. The fact that he hasn't filed one single FOIA request for the other candidate, shows he is not really interested in the truth.

Just a question Todd... why are all the charges for your 'redacted numbers' shown as having a cost of $0.00? How is it 'looking out for the taxpayers' when you are harping on something that literally didn't cost them a single cent? The only thing transparent here, is you Todd.

Yes, the coroners office could setup accounts at 1.5%per with every single place they do business with, usually requiring a deposit to cover the average bill.

Or, they could use the cards like they were intended. To quickly buy things during the course of the performance of job related activities.

Now, you may think 'eating' is somehow questionable, or not related to work, but most rational people do not. Also, a steak dinner is not 'extravagant' as is often claimed in these threads. Todd has cost the taxpayers more billable man-hours in filing these FOIA claims, than he has uncovered in waste. The latest of which, is a release of phone records with personal NAMES blocked out. Todd has no idea who these people are, what their functions are, or why they were even blocked out.

Yet, from this pile of unknowns, he somehow came up with a story that the taxpayers are being billed for personal phone calls. Never mind that not a single one of the redacted calls has a billable value to it other than $0.00. Never mind that Todd has no proof whatsoever that these actually were personal phone calls. Never mind that all these calls were during regular office hours. To Todd, none of this matters, because he has a fictional story to tell.

Truth is not important to Todd, and neither is 'sunshine'. What is important to Todd, is attacking his political opponents using what is by now well known to be nothing but a story of his own creation, bereft of any actual evidence.

Hi Tim,
Maybe there was a day that the 1.5% with deposit accounts was true, but that is not the way things work today. There are plenty of businesses, like John Purcell's (our County Board Chairman) Ace Hardware store, who need the business, badly. The Kendall County Coroner's Office has an account there. No deposit, and no interest, if paid in a reasonable time. Just like a credit card. Heck, they are so informal there, that they allow Jacque Purcell (Deputy Coroner, John's wife) to sign for the goods. What a deal!

Now as for the phones. No personal use, whatsoever, period! Computers, no personal use, period. Incoming, or outgoing, it doesn't matter, period. What's the matter? Can't the Coroner, and his employees afford a phone for themselves? They got personal cell phones plans for $10 a month. In today's America, when the taxpayer pays so darn much for all governments, governmental personnel need to start looking how to do things, cheaply, efficiently, and when they are at work, unless it's a life or death emergency, they do not conduct any personall business while on duty, period.

Youhanaie must live in a bubble if he thinks that just because the deputies can afford their own phones that somehow the county gets a free ride on their phones and messaging plans. That's why people ignore such lunacy. No one can predict death, so people for the county need to be available on a 24/7 basis. That involves some sacrifice on the behalf on the taxpayers for a service that inconveniences those who are trained(unlike Dabney) to handle situations no one cares too. Now I have never had to experience being waken up in the middle of the night to go out and attend a death or while in the middle of a family night event that person has to leave to take care of county business. So how does this argument of cell phone plans make sense? It doesn't, just another grudge from Todd.

Youhanaie,

Again the Ace thing?? Just because John Purcell owns Ace makes this story legitimate? What's next to post the video of the budget again? Beating a dead horse here.
Cell Phone issue.... Dead
Gas and Mileage issue .....Dead
Next issue that is totally irrelevant to people..... Oh that's November. Game Over Man!

Actually Jake,

I worked for the federal govenment, many years ago. I had a computer in front of me, a land line, and my own cell phone. The computer, and landline was for paying the troops only. My cell phone was for personal calls. I did not respond to the calls unless I was on lunch, or break during duty hours. Have I used the computer, and or the company phone, in other businesses. Yes, but when the owner said it was OK.

So all you did in your life was work in the Federal Government? Nothing else that required you to be around a phone or computer screen?

I wish I could get one of those nice federal jobs, yet I'm out here employing people and paying large tax bills. It's great to live in America!

And you just proved a great point, you had to ask your boss to make a call. Who does the Coroner have to ask permission from to make a personal call? Any suggestions since you were such a professional at bureaucracy and red tape in the feds?

HI Jake,
Well, let's see, you said that you had the FOIA information 3 days ago. Now you say the agancy has not given the information to you? Real credible there. So, since you've proven yourself a complete liar, why should anybody beleive what you are about to produce? Your words to follow:

Don't worry! I have all of those FOIA's in my hands....

So, since you've countered yourself, why should we believe anything that you post from now on?

How dare you accuse such fine outstanding citizens as Jim Detzler, and Judge Wilson with this. They've done nothing in thier lives but show the residents, and visitors of Kendall County what fine "famiiy values" leaders we have here. Loyal to their wives; great role models for their children, and grand children; churchgoing, sober men. How dare you, sir, or madam.

So, how exactly is $0.00 'wasteful spending'?

That is the number of dollars attached to every single phone call Todd is bringing up. Or did you not bother to look at it? There is still zero evidence that any one of these is a personal call. That is just Todds 'speculation', as he likes to call it.

The only waste are the resources Todd is abusing, to gain nothing of any importance for the taxpayers. He is using the FOIA services as his own mudslinging apparatus, yet turning up absolutely nothing. Then, he creates a story based on his 'gut feeling', not evidence. The only 'evidence', is Todds claim. That's it.

Like I said, anybody that wants to meet me, be my guest and then get ready to apologize to all of the people you have accused of posting on here that have not.

Tim,

You have to remember with these guys, if it's $0, it's fiscal irresponsibility.

If it's saving the county $1000+, it's fiscal irresponsibility and someone ripped off the county because it was declared something else on paper.

No win situation with someone that cannot be satisfied or to quench their hatred of one guy.

There is no argument to insanity because all insanity is, is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome. That's what you get when you have Todd Milliron operating your campaign. Exceptions of winning and yet losing horribly. Insanity.

Oswegosmarts,

So your asking for real names, right Oswegosmarts? Get it, OSWEGOSMARTS! Use your real name.
These people are a joke. I offer to meet with them and no one takes the challenge. NO ONE. They just go onto another tangent that make little sense. They just make claims without backing them up.

Youhanaie,
Today is Friday. Open wide for your dinner.

All hat and no cattle Jake,

I have my knife and fork ready. Show me about the lawsuit against the OFPD. You said that you had it, last Friday, then said the government official hadn't given it to you, days later. I'm thinking that anything you post is fabricated. if you lie once, why believe you later. Little boy, go cry wolf somewhere else.

Youhanaie,

Try not to change up the challenge. Your WORDS:
Stephen Youhanaie

"HI Jake,
Well, let's see, you said that you had the FOIA information 3 days ago. Now you say the agancy has not given the information to you? Real credible there. So, since you've proven yourself a complete liar, why should anybody beleive what you are about to produce?"

Remember I said FOIA's not just lawsuits.

Lawsuit info to follow later.

If you had listened to the posted video by a couple of individuals that claim fiscal responsibility, then you would have heard to why the office has to do this. Was not a choice thing but a law issue of equipment. There is also a stipend to the cell phones for the deputies too. So the county still pays for cell phones in a round about why. Does that help Travis?? Does that change your mind? I doubt it.

Jloma,

Don't give such facts to Youhanaie, Travis or Todd on the necessity of reliable plans. They'll just go on another tangent about something else and lose focus. Last time I remember, that was diagnosed as ADD. Normal sane people understand the needs to an office that handles delicate work. Others just criticize over irrelevant things such as (Cell phone plans, how dedicated personnel save the county money yet they are being called thieves or dinners that someone eats) because they have very little purpose in life, just hate.
Vetting these people has now become a sport for me, it's enjoyable to tell truth and let the other guys squirm in their words and take it personal. That's how you know what they do is out of hatred.

Jake,
All I know is that you said you had the documents when you did not. Your admission, not mine. Do I have to remind you? So, since you have lied about this, what are you going to lie about next? See any UFO's lately, please give us the details of your sighting.

Youhanaie,

I like to give all information out and not leave anything out like Todd does. Friday is the day I have everything. Just be ready to eat crow.

Stephen,
Wilson and Detzler aren' t going to FOIA the info with their names on it they will have one of the other good old boys put their name on it. Also remember that is Detzlers Fire Dept. with all of his hand picked employees. So if they have anything on Mr. Dabney it is a reflection on the lack of Professionalism inside the Fire Dept. I don't have understand how one man bringing FOIA information to the public has turned into a witch hunt against him. As I have stated before I read these posts and they all are there as deflection of the main point. Kendall county is a mini Cook County.

Oswegosmarts,
My money is that the FOIA requestor(s) has a direct tie to the Coroner's Office. Maybe, one, or more of the deputy coroners are involed in a conspiracy to dig up dirt on Mr. Dabney. What's worse is that all they are trying to do is go after Todd, by going after Dabney. That, or the people that know Ken Toftoy the best, don't think much of Ken. If they did, they wouldn't have to throw dirt on Dabney around. Why would the 20 year incumbent Republican Coroner, in a Republican county need that kind of help? The FOIA requestor(s) seem to think that Ken has done such a poor job, that the only way for Ken to win is to bring Dabney down. I have filed my FOIA to see who they are. At worst, I'll know in 5 business days

But, let's see how the public views Mr. Toftoy's performance. Could his deputy coroners/long time friends be right, in Mr. Toftoy performing poorly in his job?
You decide: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXWTw54tWYo&feature=vmdshb

Where did you 'find out' who got his employment file? And why does it matter who got it? Does that somehow change the information that is contained in it?

Also note, that you have not even acknowledged the foreclosure and financial court judgements against Mike Dabney that have already been posted.

Todd decided long ago to make this about anything and everything but the actual duties of the job, so don't go crying that your candidate is now being subject to the same.

2 other deputy coroners... Maybe they got sick of Todd's hypocrisy while he put those people in the light for no good reason. Remember Campaign Manager and Financier Todd Milliron set the pace in this challenge, yet he will not even be able to finish. Remember, it's seems Todd had the issues to hide, not the coroner or the deputies.
The Coroner and his deputies don't have:
Foreclosures,
Disciplinary actions that included suspension time due to the lose of a life,
Remedial training for issues that are related to failure to perform duties,
Failing to report to his shift while vacationing because he could not manage his time, AND
A guy trying to make life hellish for the service that they do honestly

Dabney has all of these benefits going for him! Why would you not want to elect a liability to an office that can get the county sued?

Does he think by reducing the office in staff he is still going to be vacationing or will he abandon his job just like the last time he decided to go on vacation?

The voters can decide this issue.

Hey Youhanaie,

Do you still need me to keep going or should I give you the Dabney's annual salary too? Aw heck here you Go! $73,920 a year! with a forclosure on his record and multiple issues of discipline at work!

Do you still want me to post the FOIAs or should I stop there?
And please at least address these issues about a guy who wants a job that pays him less?
So far, no one that supports this guy has addressed any issue of their guy.
and no pending lawsuits against the Oswego FD for Mike's dereliction on duty.

Any of you supporters want to give Dabney a clean bill of no lawsuits for his job performance issue against him personally? I doubt it for you guys never look into or purposely hide issues of this candidate. WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO HIDE?

Youhanaie,

And what you could not find out that a private citizen ordered a FOIA request too, besides the 2 deputies? Or maybe your contacts are not as reliable as you think?

And your next great info bomb will be, WHAT?! You will actually confirm Dabney's issues or will skirt those again too? Yes, you ignore that question too.

The steak ladened Toftoy fundraiser is on a Sunday. My apologies to the readers. It is said that criminals like to go to the scene of their crime. Forget that thought. Mr. Toftoy had at least one publicized "trainig session" at Ralph',s where he dined on filet mignon, escargot, and alcoholic drinks. The taxpayers of Kendall County paid for some of this party..er..ah..training session. A couple questions come to mind. Will someone be there to photograph the royalty of Kendall County? Will Mr. Toftoy charge any of his expenses at Ralph's, as he has done in the past? Will the participants get the hiccups after eating former Judge James Wilson's World Famous Chili? Finally, will the attendees get the same cut of steak that Mr. Toftoy charged the taxpayers of Kendall County, at his last training session?

It's not 1970 anymore Stephen, filet Mignon is not an expensive piece of meat. I can go to the store right now, and buy 1lb for between $12-$14. That's 2 8oz steak dinners at home, for $6-$7 each. In a restaurant, that's about $25 for a dinner.

Join us in the 21st century and enjoy modern food distribution networks, instead of using outdated experiences from your distant past as if they are still valid today. The price of it has dropped quite a bit over the years. There's nothing 'special' about it anymore.

The best thing about your comments, is that you have not once addressed the actual duties of the position.

You have addressed what people eat, and who they call at a cost of $0.00 to the taxpayer though.

Kendall County has one of the highest education rates of any county in the area. Educated people actually care about the person who can perform the duties of the job as required, and not what he eats for dinner.

Instead of trying to convince others that food choice is somehow what is important in the ability to perform the duties of Coroner, you should spend some time reflecting on why you think it important.

Tim,
Let me put it as plainly as I have to. First, when you are an elected Republican Official, and Chairman of the local Republican Party, you must be beyond reproach, at all times. Why? Because it gives the Democrats a direction to point. I've read it at least once here, that Kendall County is our version of Cook County. Second, I've received enough information to know that Mr. Toftoy does not have enough activity to merit a full time employee in the office. This means one of two things. He either doesn't know how to make the most of his resources, or he doesn't want to make use of them, in an efficient manner. Either way, it's not acceptable. It's not the filet mignon, it's what the filet mignon represents. A governmental attitude towards the taxpayer that once you are in the system, there is no risk of getting kicked out, no matter how you perform your tasks.

Stephen,
As has also been said elsewhere. I usually vote Democrat, but that has more to do with the positions of those running, than the political party they belong to. In this case, I can support Ken Toftoy. Not because he belongs to a specific party, but because he has demonstrated an ability to take the job seriously, and provide a level of professionalism that is required. He has demonstrated in the videos posted here that he knows which services can be farmed out to contractors, and which services are best performed in house. Not everything is cheaper when it is farmed out, and I can see that Toftoy has the needed experience and understanding to make these decisions.

Mike Dabney's position is that he wants to 'get rid of credit cards'. Not because it is a good idea, but because the court judgements issued against him in May of this year more than likely stipulate that he can not hold a credit card in his name. HE is off holding a 'fundraiser' where other elected officials, who just so happen to have grudges against Ken Toftoy, 'win' the prizes. However, he has not addressed any of the technical issues related to the performance of the job. Not one single thing.

Ken Toftoy is 'challenging' the voters, because that's the entire point of elections. There is no 'reading between the lines', there is no conspiracy. This is real life, and it requires the ability to make real life decisions, not mock the dinner choices of existing office holders.

Hi Tim,

The difference is that Dabney's prize was filet mignon dinners so that the winner could eat like Ken Toftoy, a countywide elected official. Toftoy is have a fundraiser at Ralph's where the taxpayers were charged for food by Ken Toftoy. The main course is steak. Pick up an Oswego Ldger Sentinel, Countywide Section. It's like he's going back to the scene of the crime while holding the weapon in his hand. I'm sure he knows not to break out that credit card by now; at least I'm hopeful.

I was thinking about this fundraiser and how Toftoy seems to want to thumb his nose at the electorate over the whole filet mignon affair. Here are some campaign slogans that Toftoy can use to further this cause:

Let Me Eat Steak!
In Kendall County, Coroners should be able to have their steak and eat it too!
Beef. It's what's for dinner!
FOUR MORE BEERS! FOUR MORE BEERS!
A chicken in every pot and a (taxpayer financed) filet mignon in every county official's stomach!
Make No MISTEAK. I deserve that raise - beef prices are up!
Do you want ESCARGOT with that?
Support Ralph's. Re-elect Ken Toftoy.

Do you need new glasses? Should you see a doctor about a stroke? I'm being serious here. I'm trying to find out, without insulting you, what the reason is for your incredible inability to comprehend what you read.

Ken Toftoy is not having a 'steak dinner fundraiser'... MIKE DABNEY IS!
http://yorkville.patch.com/announcements/dabney-selects-filet-mignon-dinners-raffle-winner
"Kendall County Board member Anne Vickery of Minooka is the holder of the winning ticket in the “Dine like a Kendall County Elected Official” raffle following a drawing held Sept. 7 in the gazebo at Yorkville’s Town Square Park by Citizens to Elect Mike Dabney Kendall County Coroner."

Notice who won. Anne Vickery.
Yes, Ann Vickery, a current Kendall County elected official, won a drawing to 'eat like a Kendall County elected official' in a contest run by who? "Citizens to Elect Mike Dabney Kendall County Coroner"

There is not one single educated person who would vote for a campaign that is behaving so unprofessionally. In what way does this have anything to do with the duties of the position?

Hi Tim,

The difference is that Dabney's prize was filet mignon dinners so that the winner could eat like Ken Toftoy, a countywide elected official. Toftoy is have a fundraiser at Ralph's where the taxpayers were charged for food by Ken Toftoy. The main course is steak. Pick up an Oswego Ldger Sentinel, Countywide Section. It's like he's going back to the scene of the crime while holding the weapon in his hand. I'm sure he knows not to break out that credit card by now; at least I'm hopeful.
...

Well then, make it the OSFD...where's your lawsuit documentation? As for face-to-face, why bother? Just take the documentation to the Patch Editors, to the Kendall County Record Editors (Oswego Ledger-Sentinel,too), the Aurora Beacon News Editors. Tell them who you are, and why you feel that these documents are of importance to the voters. I'm sure that they will take into consideration all that you provide. If you'd like, I'll meet you at the Oswego Ledger Sentinel Office around 9am, next Friday. I'll be downtown enjoying a meal across the street at the Oswego Family Restaurant, anyway.

Good, I'll see if I can arrange my schedule to visit. Stay tuned folks this should be good. I expect this guy to freak out and still not have a clue who I am... :)
I doubt he'll be there!

Jake settle down, I make my post based on info which is FOIA based. I am not a part of any group. I have watched and seen many problems with kendall county. Member of the sheriffs office using county credit card to purchase fuel and beer for his boat, Board memeber under investigation for charging per diem for meetings that are out of his job description. Now the coroner with misapropration of funds. I think my self and other taxpayers are tired of the mismanagement of taxpayers money for personal gain. And the we didn't know we were doing anything wrong excuse doesn't work. So obviously you agree with these so called leaders, and think it's O.K. for this to happen. How come we the taxpayers keep taking it on the chin for these guys stealing taxpayers money. So keep your Parrot coments to yourself and quit the name calling. JD or JUDGE who ever you are.

"misapropration of funds"
Where?
List something specific, that is based on factual evidence.

Hint: Nothing Todd has 'speculated' here is factual.

Oswegosmarts,

How about information that's Court Based besides FOIAs? Like a foreclosure? How about that, want to address some of these facts?
Most of the points I have made are not published info unless you have a FOIA that has been processed.
And are you scared to think I might not be one of the Kenny buddies? Remember you guys are making the claims about me being one of the crew. Wrong answer there.

Again, besides you asking for names, what's yours?

Stephen,

Shouldn't you be able to provide links to the claims you make if they were indeed published?
Here is a complete archive of the Oswego Ledger Sentinel. Nowhere in the entire site is your claim supported by any actual printed article or evidence;
http://www.google.com/custom?hl=en&safe=active&client=pub-7886390911929363&cof=FORID%3A1%3BGL%3A1%3BLBGC%3A336699%3BLC%3A%230000ff%3BVLC%3A%23663399%3BGFNT%3A%230000ff%3BGIMP%3A%230000ff%3BDIV%3A%23336699%3B&domains=www.ledgersentinel.com&ie=ISO-8859-1&oe=ISO-8859-1&q=toftoy+ralphs&btnG=Search&sitesearch=www.ledgersentinel.com

Sometimes I wonder if you and Todd are related, it is uncanny how you can both completely misunderstand what you read. Editorials in newspapers are not facts Stephen. Do you understand that?

Game Over! Thanks for playin' The Candidates Loser's Excuses provided by Todd Milliron, Yo-yo and the supporting crew of parrot heads repeating the same things.

Here's a little poem:

The dead horse is dead but the line is still the same.
Dabney has ruined his career and Todd claimed his name.
Youhanaie completes the circle of incompetence with friends,
and has come up with little sense that he shows to no ends.
Travis makes a great play on words
but his mind is with the rest of the collection and has gone to the birds.
But don't worry November will soon be here
and we will never have to hear from Todd and his ilk because they will soon disappear!

Thanks all and see you in November! Please somebody send me the address to the Dabney party in November. I need to send that sympathy card ASAP!

Tim, assuming you are talking about the Steak Dinner Fundraiser that Stephen refers to, The Friends to Elect Ken Toftoy placed an ad in the Countywide section of the paper. In my copy of the Oswego Ledger-Sentinel, it is on the bottom corner of page 15 of the Countywide section of that paper. I'm assuming that this section is also in the Kendall County Record and Plano Record as well. Judge Wilson is even going to serve up his "Famous Chili." This ad is right there - in black and white - next to your buddy Dan Koukol's ad.

I think this is all great. Just a few months ago, who would have thought that Toftoy would be needing to hold a fundraiser?

And how is that ad proof of a dinner at 'taxpayer expense' again?

"Just a few months ago, who would have thought that Toftoy would be needing to hold a fundraiser?"

I'm going to go out on a limb, and say anybody who has been paying even the slightest bit of attention over the last 20 years? Fundraisers happen every year a candidate is up for election. Do you even understand how this process works?
Here's the fundraiser from the last election for Ken Toftoy in 2008;
http://www.kentoftoy.com/article.asp?a=103

Seriously... you obviously have no idea what you are talking about. Everything you say can be proven wrong with about 3 seconds of searching on google. Perhaps you should start searching for the things you think are 'true', before you post them.

Tim, you were the one who said "Ken Toftoy is not having a 'steak dinner fundraiser..." So who didn't know what they were talking about?

Very good Travis. Now where does it say Ken Toftoy is having one? Nowhere.

The ad is for a group of residents who want to elect Ken Toftoy, not Ken Toftoy himself. You wrote it in your own post... "Friends to Elect Ken Toftoy"

Do you understand why that is NOT Ken Toftoy organizing it at taxpayer expense?

Tim,

It's called delusional. It happens when the results you want so badly to happen, don't. So you begin to see things that no one else does, to fulfill a goal that was never going to happen.
Here you have now witnessed it with several individuals, Todd, Travis and Youhanaie. Three delusional people that should see publishers for their could be best selling novels.
It's useless to pass information or facts over to these indiviudals because it is a lost cause.

Tim,
Write an article for the Patch just like Todd did. Base it on facts, let it go and drive these guys up a wall. I just started my article.

...and before I forget, here's your 20 year Kendall County Coroner at his best:

We Report, You Decide...Fair, and Balanced...The Unvarnished Product

Youhanaie
Yawn.... I guess this is the best way to get hits for this video. What other narrative are you going to make up here?

Like you know anything about the functions of the Coroner's office? It shows you know little about it and all you would have to do is read state statutes and ask the people that work there. Have you?
NO.
It's easier to make delusional and baseless claims to make everyone else think you a genius and looking out for the little guy.

Your not.
Your just making up for your ambiguous life of wrong choices. So it's better to attack others in positions of leadership to give you a meaning to your life. I am not even jealous of you one bit. I feel very blessed and thankful for the things I have and I have never felt like a victim as Steve has here.

How many budgets have you proposed in front of a panel on YouTube? Zero. All of this brought to you by Todd Milliron Campaign Manager/ Financier of the Michael Dabney Campaign.

Youhanaie,
And please don't take Fox News slogan, Fair and Balanced. You lessen the meaning of it when it comes from you.

Tim is my real name. Yet again, you have no evidence to support your claim, yet ramble on with your assumption as if it is a fact. And when a video has 300 views, it means exactly that. It does not mean 'unique views'. Again, that is your assumption, and it is wrong. 290 of those views could be from Stephen. Todd, you have a severe problem with differentiating between fact and fiction. Just because you think something is true, does not mean it is. Your opinion, is not verification.

I hope this blog gets posted everywhere, so people can see the cheap political games you are playing. The more people that get familiar with your name, the more people will be able to identify who not to vote for.

Todd CAMPAIGN MANAGER for the Mike Dabney campaign,

Welcome back to reality! So as you were so busy patting yourself on the back on the things in life, how was the jury trial for you? I am sure the fiscally responsible person that you are decided to do the right thing and pay the fine, RIGHT?

No, Todd decided to drag out the seat belt violation and continue it 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,.. No, 7 times for a continuance and waste the taxpayers time and money. All for something he was guilty on and could not be man enough to pay it?! Pretty good example from a guy claiming fiscal responsibility!! ;) And he decided to waste more time and make it a jury trial.
What's next, do a blog on the conspiracy of the Kendall County Law Enforcement agencies that are looking for you?

Todd, will you be so kind and pick up the tab for the taxpayers, since you are the shining example of a crusader for the taxpayer, while claiming your such an upstanding citizen? Or will this be another hypocritical moment in your life you can tell others or won't tell others?

And the sky is not blue! Start believing Jerri. Just go to the surrounding area gatherings where Dabney has a booth and surprise surprise there's Todd Milliron with the same old gear from his last campaign.. Seeing is believing!

And this has any credibility and meaning to the race that is at hand...Why don't you give us the Cliff's Notes to War and Peace while your at it.

Still nothing sticking to the wall on the accusations just suggestions that something might be wrong and that message has failed!

Great stories that have little meaning to a failed Campaign for Todd supporting the next candidate that you can fill in the blank at a later date.
