Well, if the employees of lakefront industry actually lived in Waukegan, why were none present last year when the harbor dredging became such a hot-button issue? Obviously Wakluvit wasn't at that meeting where NOT ONE PERSON that spoke on behalf of lakefront industry actually LIVED in Waukegan. Not one. Nada. So, it's obvious that you're a lakefront industry owner hellbent on preserving the status quo. Lakefront industry does what for Waukegan? Their trucks tear up our roads and their employees speed down the Amstutz and Sheridan road to get going home--where they live. OUR lakefront is for OUR people now, it's not for industry any longer and it shouldn't be. Maybe you could place it in Libertyville or Pleasant Prairie or Grayslake or Gurnee or Lake Bluff--the towns where the industry employees said that they actually live, the towns where they pay their property taxes, support their local businesses and where they keep industry and its trucks OUT of their towns. It's not in Waukegan. It's time for us to take OUR TOWN back. Wakluvit is a phony.
WalktheWalk, let's do a poll of all of the companies in Waukegan and find out the percentage of their employees that actually live in Waukegan. If they fall below a certain percentage, let's kick those companies out too. If it happens to be a school where most of the teachers that work there don't live in Waukegan, we might as well get rid of the school as well. That school obviously doesn't have our best interests in mind. Then, we'll poll all of the citizens of Waukegan and if any of them have the guts to work outside of Waukegan, we'll force them to move where they work. Let's take OUR TOWN back now!!!
Also, please keep the personal attacks to a minimum. If you disagree with my argument just state the facts of your argument and move on. By writing that I'm a phony you discredit yourself.
