Well hotdam boys, this one's sure turnin out to be a pressurecooker. Well, to throw my two cents into the game, I first have to tell you that the Toyota dealership deal? dirty, dirty, dirty. Some people just don't know thier 'you know what' from a hole in the ground. Do you know that that wasn't the first operation of that scale that wanted to locate to Palatine, but some of the principals involved were pressured by a drunk councilmember whose last name begins with J, to commit to private payouts? Boys, I gurandamntee that dealership is paying out to people you wouldn't believe.
I have me a bit of money too. And when the wife and I wanted to start a business in a certain persons district, it was made clear to us that no bribe = no deal.

Wait. We haven't heard from Joe Citizen yet........ his story must be a doosie.
"We're held up to a higher standard being in politics," Jezierski said. "There's more expected of us than the average Joe Citizen."
Since the Councilman is so above average maybe he can explain how the no bribe=no deal works, like
where you keep the money so it can't be traced,
what to do when the briber gets upset when the angry residents find out and the deal has to be broken,
how to get others dirty so they keep quiet.
Just a couple thoughts.

It seems like my blogs are just a tip of the iceburg of the dirt, corruption, that over flows, here in town. I lived in Palatine 35 years? and a lot of this stuff, I never new about, until poking around. Heck, Jim's father probably knows a lot more than I do and this was before, his son become mayor.
