A Tale of Two Letters
The first one is what was printed in today's News-Sun. The second is what was sent to them. What a bunch of First Amendment betraying fools.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'd like to thank the volunteers at Taskforce On Waukegan Neighborhoods for the Internet forum they have provided for free use by the public.
For six-plus years the forum has been an excellent source for breaking news and a vehicle to shed light on and counter a less-than-open city of Waukegan government.
The existence of this forum, without a doubt, led to a more informed and enlightened citizenry. What a positive and patriotic contribution! Thomas Jefferson would have approved.
I understand this forum has ceased to exist. This is saddening.

I'd like to thank the volunteers at Taskforce On Waukegan Neighborhoods (T.O.W.N.) for the internet forum they have provided for free use by the public. For 6 plus years the forum has been an excellent source for breaking news and a vehicle to shed light on and counter a less than open City of Waukegan government that would range from bumbling buffoonery to soviet style repression and disinformation. This existence of this forum has, without a doubt, led to a more informed and enlightened citizenry. What a positive and patriotic contribution! Thomas Jefferson would have approved.
I understand this forum has ceased to exist. This is saddening. But there is a bright side to this sad news... that being the birth of a new internet forum for the city of Waukegan. Yes, a generous Waukegan citizen has voluntarilly started a new forum to take up where the old forum left off. It can be found at: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.wauktalk.com">http://www.wauktalk.com</a><!-- m --> and it is called Waukegan Talk. So please visit this open public forum where, unlike Waukegan City Council Meetings, you won't get arrested for expressing yourself.
