I'm no angle but there are no role models or good examples of government on this blog.

One of the women who works in community development department of Palatine said to me "I should be glad I didn't go to jail", I think this is the woman, where as, I fixed a sink hole in her back yard 15? years ago..... another courtesy to the village by Mike Mars

6 months ago a Palatine resident called the community development department asking for my phone number, her kitchen sink would not drain, needed rodding out and wanted to call me. Community development said "I need to take out a permit before she could give me this information". The lady got my phone number from a neighbor.

Me, Mike Mars a state of Illinois licensed plumber, state of Illinois licensed plumbing contractor, state of Illinois licensed CCCDI (cross connection control device inspector (back flow device)),

Me, Mike Mars a state of Arizona licensed plumbing contractor, state of Arizona licensed back flow inspector, licensed Phoenix journey man plumber, gas fitter and mechanical. needs a permit to rod a 20' kitchen sink drain in Palatine..... if this aint a crock, what is?

The community development department is 1 of many centers of corruption in Palatine, in the form of bribes, extortion, pay offs, contracts, bids, the demolition of Palatine it's self.

A few may recall, this story is about the building department letting a x-fireman do major, commercial plumbing work, then threaten the plumbing inspector with removal of needed health insurance for his sick wife, if he said anything. People in Palatine knows who I'm talking about and the related messes. The fire chief was probably involved in this cover up also. When Harry asked where is the licensed plumber on the job, then, shut the job down, the x-fireman then most likely called his old boss and they made up a story about smelling alcohol on the inspectors breath. Harry tried to do his job, to follow and enforce the Illinois State Plumbing Code, but Harry's bosses forced him to look the other way and violate the law. I am sure this was not the first. After that this guy could do what ever plumbing he wanted, with no inspection. Harry was never allowed near him, some jobs were disasters of the highest degree. Harry was let go because of "old age". This is age discrimination, another violation of the law, why Harry don't sue the village, is beyond me, the mayor can do it (claims she was on official Palatine business in Washington DC, hurt her self workmen comp claim but wants more), so why can't Harry. http://palatine-mayor-rita-mullins.blogspot.com/

Welcome to the corrupt Village Hall of Palatine, this is nothing new, just a new twist.

I rodded the sewer at Gary's old house last week, he was a Village of Palatine inspector, who lost his job after failing a defective set of concrete steps on inspection (water would not drain off, thus, they would freeze in the winter). This was one of Hummel's Palatine projects. Word had it is that Hummel was pissed, cost him a couple thousand dollars to fix it. I would bet, after that, no one failed or questioned any thing done by Hummel.

How come the city can't plow there own streets?

Where is officer Baker, every city salt truck, with plow, salt, spreader, is over weight!!!!!!, what about CDL?

Where is officer Baker, checking for CDL's and weight with Hummels drivers of heavy equipment?

Baker is just 1 more dirty cop in Palatine.

Baker told another plumber who has a small dump truck that he can get a ticket for being over weight, even though he wasn't, a bunch of tricks as to where the tires are, on the scale.

Baker along with Wenrich is another terrorist running around with a gun and badge, that can do what they please with the law. Who is going to complain?

Here is another baker story?

A load of gravel leaves a Algonquin pit with a state certified scale weight ticket, delivers the load to DesPlaines destination where another state certified scale weights the load. Weight is the same as the pit.

but, here comes Baker (this might have been a State Police assist)

pulls him over, weights him, gives him a $3500? ticket and lets him go on his way.

The driver said he can't fight it, by the time he pays a attorney (who is probably crooked along with the prosecutor and judge), time off work, and probably lose any way, what the heck can I do?

Sound pretty cut and dry to me. The guy probably would not pay the discount for road side cash, just like my brother.

I herd this from a merchant in Palatine who herd this from the trucker.+

West of 53 on Lake Cook Rd. to Rand Rd. (rt. 12), apparently has a weight limit. I never saw a warning at the exit of 53 of this little ...... no, huge, money maker. But to be fair, any salt truck with plow would be over weight. Do you think the state or Baker, hit any county snow plow? Scam city
