Greer recall effort using threats and intimidation to garner support
Recently a car came to a halt in front of a home in Ward 7. Two longhaired teenagers exited the car. They knocked on the door of a home and demanded the elderly woman to sign a recall petition against Dottie Greer. She refused and the two began to get belligerent. The woman was fearful for her safety, shut and locked the door behind her, and prayed the two would just go away.
Dottie Greer is under attack from a group of paid petitioners. These petitioners have brow beat and threatened people in Ward 7 in an effort to get voters to sign the petitions. Who is paying these teenagers for each signature? Who is paying for the computer generated telephone calls telling people to sign the petition? Most of all why are those in opposition to Greer spending tens of thousands of dollars to get her out of office?
Each and every resident in Ward 7 and the City should ask these questions. This City is under attack by outside interests that are attempting to corrupt our government for their own financial gain. We are witnessing the results in O’Fallon and St. Peters. These people will stop at nothing to gain control of the City so they can run rough shod over the average citizens.
It is time for all the residents to fight back; the FCN’s is fighting back by exposing these modern day hooligans who have found it is easier to buy politicians than to buy lawyers after they break the law. They buy politicians who change the laws so their plots to deceive will be legal.
WHAT ARE THE DETAILS ABOUT THE MAYOR’S BODYGUARD?
We filed a Freedom of Information Request asking details about the Mayor’s Bodyguard. We asked for the cost, the dates, the locations, and the name of the officers the Mayor used. As of press time the City has not provided the information. When the City Council asked for it the other evening they were told it would take a lot of work and time to compile. We thought the City’s payroll was automated. How are they paying the officers for overtime if they can’t determine the cost? Why are they delaying providing the information? Maybe they don’t want the public to know that the Mayor used a St. Charles Police Sergeant to drive her to Venice, Illinois for the swearing in of a Chief of Police.
Just in case they are not aware I would like to remind the City that the City of O’Fallon settled a Sunshine Law violation law suit the other day for $12,000. It would be less costly to the taxpayers if the requested information was provided rather than wait for a suit to be filed and have to pay a fine plus attorney fees.
We’ll be back September 10th.
