Very good statement made earlier (and, hopefully, later!) by Ms. Ozbolt and very nice follow-up byRead More MC. Thanks much.

You are 100% correct. Cutting 4 worker's hours is disgusting and disgraceful. I've been talking toRead More alot of people around the schools and sports fields at my childrens activies. Hurtado and Peck are quickly becoming the most hated people of Plainfield; with Booth, Steinys and Silotsky right behind them. They are spending tax payer money extravagantly on their salaries, cars, and God knows what else at the PPD. You've brought shame to yourselves, your families and your friends. If you 5 aren't ashamed of yourselves then you are just plain evil and selfish and deserve the reprecussions coming your way very soon.

I am just wondering how long this suspense filled soap opera will continue? Bottom line: HurtadoRead More knew his buddy needed a job...so; he and his majority board members made a mockery of local government due process and gave Mr. Peck a job, even though Hurtado voted with the past board to unanimously select an Exec…who is still under a contract. And then decided there was a need to pay a board secretary (who jumped out of the frying pan…smart move) and then appointed someone without pay. And of course there is a need to have a paid political hack to help publicly spin the board’s craziness via press releases.

I hate to ask the obvious of Mr. Peck (not that I expect him to answer anyway), but why is thisRead More announcement coming from the Executive Director rather than our newly appointed Director of Communications?
Bad News Bears June 18, 2013 at 02:53 pm
Mr. Peck, please answer 2 questions for me: 1. If you are cutting $800K but AdministrativeRead More Salaries are up over $118K, where are the cuts coming from. I have always been a patron of the Park District and want to know which of my programs your skimming off to pay yourself and Mr. Booth. 2. "Our staff deserves a lot of credit for this budget,” Peck said, “as their efforts to hold the line wherever possible have led to our success on behalf of District residents." Is reducing hours of employees the way you reward your staff now? I'm very upset that you honestly thought that cutting loyal employees hours instead of offering benefits was a good idea. I have a better one, cut the hours of Mr. Booth who has an unnecessary job and use his pay and salaries to offset the 4 loyal part-time workers. I will not hold my breath for your answers since answering questions to the people who pay your salary isn't on your to do list
