DEAR FRIENDS,
On Thursday, August 1, 2024, county board members in infamous Boone County Illinois discussed shutting down comments being read from people not physically attending meetings. They are also discussing limiting the time allotted to public comment. I guess those comments some of you are sending in calling the corrupt board members out are hitting their mark!
The email-reading policy began in the days of Covid, and was to continue permanently, until compassionate people from across the United States began writing in to express their disgust with Boone County's continued allowance of steer tailing at locations with a history of animal cruelty and permit violations.
Email Chairman Riley and let him know what you think of Boone County removing your ability to speak out about the corruption and animal brutality happening within their county! They once got emails from 9 different states! It seems they didn’t like knowing that they were becoming infamous across the country.

This is how corruption works. We call out the corruption, and instead of stopping the corruption, the corrupt (and cowardly) move to stifle the truth.
I am reminded of a line from the TV series, House of Cards:
What is the face of a Coward? The back of his head as he runs from battle.
You, my friends, are now seeing the faces of the cowards in Boone County, because you've got them running like hell's coming for them!
