I have much more colorful language for worse crimes, I just reserved scum for this particular incident. I hate liars, I like a**holes that don’t lie, strange but hey thats the way it is. I may hate your politics or point of view but if you are honest and passionate about whatever weird sh*t you are into I can respect that. Dishonest politicians or business people that try and play all the angles sicken me and are scum. If this chick were an ugly old dude I think you might feel differently. Keep it up though, who knows in a few months you may be able to grab the front of her shopping cart and steer her mumbling a** down farmington road for a bit o fun and games.

I noticed a bloom of Butler signs in the yards today driving my usual route home.

Wow, go away for 10 days and I miss so much. Bill, you say that she is warm, friendly and funny. You are right. Let me guess…When she talks with you, she gently touches your arm while standing pretty close. Then, when you say something funny, she shifts her weight from one foot to the other while bumping her shoulder into yours. She may even find a way to rest her head on your shoulder in a “playful” sort of way and don’t forget the flick of the hair with the big smile. Come on…she is playing you. She plays everyone. She doesn’t appear to talk badly about people until she knows you really don’t like someone so she just puts out statements to get your reaction. These statements are things like, He’s a big republican or democrat. He/She is close to…. Then, little by little, when she knows more about you, she will agree with almost anything you say. If you mention a school board topic, she is on your side and voted the same way you would have wanted. If you call her on something in the past, she always has a reason, like the wrong information or too much pressure. She even puts her own attributes on others. I remember when she kept accusing Royster of lying about her age and credentials. I am ashamed to say that I believed her “act” for about 5 years and then my wife woke me up and told me to listen more carefully and to WATCH. After a while, we would just watch the school board meetings and try to identify her current lie like “My house is 100 years old and is in perfect condition”. She doesn’t even own a house. She also said that Royster had her “tailed” and her boss had to put in a security system so she would be safe. I think Roger Monroe actually wrote about this. I guess that was when she was a pretend marketing director. I heard that she even became a Richwoods fan to gain votes this year. If you really care about her, tell her to get help. It sickens me that nobody is talking about that she needs professional help. People are more concerned that she is in their pocket. I hope all her supporters will be there to pick up the pieces because it won’t be pretty.

Raoul: That’s funny, I’ve always found her to be hardworking, knowledgeable, concerned. As a person, she’s warm, friendly and funny. She is not “scum,” a word you seem to toss around easily behind a wall of anonymity. What word to you hold in reserve for people who commit far worse crimes? I’m not defending the act’s she’s accused of committing, but your choice of language disgusts me.

What kind of logic is this, yes she is scum but she is my scum, so she is good scum, get rid of the other scum.

This whole thing is BS. Butler was the visible face of opposition to the Glen Oak Park issue. The rest of the board members didn’t bother to educate themselves on the issue and/or just followed the herd. Payback. I’d like to see Butler re-elected and the the rest of the BoE resign. We need a Bof E responsive to the Peoria Public.
