Karen Yarbrough is doing great things in Springfield...

The highlighter has learned that State Representative Karen Yarbrough is working hard in Springfield to protect taxpayers from negligent board members. State Representative Yarbrough presented House Bill 1680 to amend the school code on February 22, 2007. Voters are often tricked into believing some candidates will better our schools and put our "children first". Once voted into office, these same candidates become arrogant assholes that put our children last. Our schools are ranked 90th out of 90. Yet, School Board President Emanuel Chrissy Welch has financed his campaigns, given millions of dollars in contracts to his friends, and hired his entire dysfunctional family. Emanuel Chrissy Welch, the insider, is having a cow over Bill 1680.

House Bill 1680:

Amends the School Code. Makes changes with respect to requiring a regional superintendent of schools to employ a regional inspector general for school districts; a school board member having a fiduciary relationship with the district; allowing a school board member to be removed for negligent (rather than wilful) failure to perform his or her official duties, any violation of the School Code, or a breach of fiduciary duty; prohibiting a school board member from holding any other public office; requiring a district to establish a database listing all vendors who have contracts with the district; a school board employing a general counsel; prohibiting a school board member, employee of a school district, or general counsel from being interested in any contract, work, or business of any school district, in the sale of any article, or in the purchase of any property that belongs to any school district, is sold for taxes or assessments, or is sold by virtue of legal process at the suit of any district; and exceptions to the requirement that contracts involving an expenditure in excess of $10,000 be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder.

What do you think about House Bill 1680? Why is Welch so scared?

Welch... your calls to Springfield will be IGNORED!!!!

It really says something about the proviso community when we have to get a state law passed so we will be protected from our elected officials.

This is the greatest law that has ever happened for schools, to have some financial responsibility in place.

This is why I support State Rep. / Committeeman Yarbrough. this lady has been workin her ass off from day one (1). Unlike the other guy. Great job Yarbrough. This will stop the Welches and Moores and Coglianese`s of our towns from thier B.S. I strongly feel that a person with certain felony convictions should not be allowed to serve on our school boards. It kind of sends the wrong message. I realize that people do change but let them run for other offices , not the school board where our children are. Maybe a village or township office but not the school boards. It was a shame to see School board 88 member ron anderson in the paper for his home being raided by the DEA for drugs during his election when he was arrested and that brought about his total arrest record that includes forgery, drugs, weapons charges, and violations of felony probation. WOW !!! and we supported this guy becaise Mayor Pasqualli sugested that he was the one for our schools. What a joke. thats another thing we have to stop. Stop letting these village Mayors tell us who to support just because they are the Mayor. Bellwood is 83% African American and we let a (excuse me) but a caucasian man tell us who to vote for and we DO IT.. Dam people , its time for the non-sence to stop. Keep up the good work Karen Yarbrough.

Hey March 11, 2007 @ 5:22am,

Why is it so hard for the citizens of Bellwod to figure out that Mayor Pasqualli is full of shit.He uses the african american vote for his cronies and outsiders instead of the good of the people. He lies to the people who support him the most and he is only concerned about the old political machine. I bet you he will support Obama this time !! The real question is why do we keep putting him in office? Why ? There are a few up and comming african americans in the community who have a bright future and great ideas. Lets stop kidding ourselves like this man is working for the good of us as a whole. Just look at his administration. Where is the youth? He keeps old blacks with that old southern way of thinking around him because they still have that "yezzem boss" mentality. Why does Mrs smith get her water cut off for $30.bucks with her six grand children and the car wash and laundrymat has a water bill well over $6,000.00 unpaid ???? Start asking questions Bellwood residents. Tell the Mayor to open the books.old Mayor + old trustees = old ideas & no progression. Its time to take a trip Mayor Pasqualli. you have bullshited the public long enough.

Karen, this was a great idea!!

Anyone who wouldnt support stopping corruption, when you have the facts, must want to keep it going! For too long in Proviso Township, under the leadership of Eguene Moore, has corruption ran rapid in our schools, but now the time for change has come, and (Chris Welch) is scared that their good thing is coming to an end.

I embrace the bill, because it puts someone in a position that will closely monitor corruption. Why wouldnt you want something or someone like this? Because even though we have elected officials on school boards, often times the citizens dont know about their evil intentions until its too late.

If you arent doing anything wrong, what will you have to worry about.......becasue the regional superintendent has to prove your wrong misconduct, right?

I know what it is, you are upset because as they say, "the proff is in the pudding"!! And your (Chris Welch) pudding tastes nasty, and it's about to be exposed!!

Keep doing great things Karen, we need this type of good solid leadership, and we thank you for helping our schools to progress to the level we should have been on a long time ago.

Karen,
This bill is awsome !!!!! This will slowly end the political garbage in sd88,89,& 209 once it is implimented. If the machine bosses know this law is in place then they wont try to stack theses school boards with self agenda driven people who are out for contracts and illegal bidding for construction and employment. I wish it would have come sooner before Welch gave Moore all that tax payer money for the insurance at the district. Have fun now Welch because the time has come to end this foolishness of the pay 2 play scheme.........Give em Hell Karen!!!!!!

Finally someone takes a stand, in order to stop this madness! Thank you so much for your boldness.

This law will be the key to unlocking our childrens educational future in districts #209,89 & 88. Chris, Grady and Tommy need to stop fighting change thats for the good. Because it will happen with or without them.

Yes, Really Class it is not.

But what else do you expect from Yarbrough supports? The apple doesn't fall far from DA tree.

Here a some quotes from Yarbrough supports that reflect her political style, class and integrity:

Good things don't come...
"I know what it is, you are upset because as they say, "the proff is in the pudding"!! And your (Chris Welch) pudding tastes nasty, and it's about to be exposed!! "

Three cheers for Karen...
Give em Hell Karen!!!!!!

If Yarbrough's friends and supporters are a reflection of her, her mirror image must be a donkey's ass.

Well, folks, I don't know about you, but I have had enough of "give em hell" Yarbrough politics.

If we "give em justice" perhaps justice would prevail.

I think its about time Proviso raise its expectation for a new breed, standard and style of politics, representation and values.

Donkey's ass need not apply.

Yes we do need a new state rep. Her supporters repeat what she says without any independent factual evidence whatsoever. Yabrough supporters don't be a total fool all of your damm life.

Damn, Chrs you are that obessed with Karen. A lot of people are not Karen supporters they just hate CHRIS WELCH! My state rep vote was a vote against YOU, Mr. Welch! Chris you did not win in your own precint! Your own neighbors did not vote for you!
The people on your block did not even show you love! What the FUCK CHRIS! GET IT TOGETHER YOU PIECE OF SHIT! I DON'T LIKE YOU BECAUSE I DON'T SUPPORT YOU STEALING FROM CHILDREN AND YOUR PATRONAGE HIRINGS, AND DIRTY POLITICS! What does Karen have to do with me calling you a bitch, a liar, and a punk! Don't blame it on Ksren blame it on my anger management problem, which is YOU!

Chris Welch supporters include the few freaks that attend the 5th avenue "washed up" meeting. Chris Welch are you proud to have people like Lula Greenhow, Larry Howard, and Sheryl Wahsington as your supporters? Are you proud that most of your supporters are forced to support you: janitors and employees from 209? Are you proud to have supporters that have extensive criminal record: Miller, RC and Anderson?

Don't get it twisted, Karen Yarbrough does not make me DESPISE YOU! YOU DO, MR. WELCH!

You have fired and intimidated a number of my friend. Proviso Township has a magnet school that is not worth the $40 million that you swindled from this community.
I DON"T LIKE CHRIS WELCH BECAUSE OF CHRIS WELCH!

Am I a Karen Yarbrough supporter? I am anyone that runs against CHRIS BITCHY WELCH. If Barney runs against Chris Welch my support goes to Barney.


Now shove that one up your fat gay ass!

Again, another stellar comment from a "class act" Yarbrough supporter.

Why don't I hear comments like this from Obama's camp toward his opposition... because he has CLASS? And the people he surrounds himself are like?

Perhaps there is a lesson to be learned from a class act politician who is effective at getting meaningful bills passed and climbing the political ladder by leaps and bounds, not to mention garner bi-partisan support.

Hmm... something to think about in the next election.

It's time for a new breed of politics.

Anonymous said...

I agree. And not that I'm a supporter of Chris Welch, but Yarbrough is a disappointment. The comments from what seem like Yarbrough supporters are trite, inarticulate and extremely unflattering on behalf of the community and the rep.

I, too, am for change and an Obama style of politics; gracious, humble and unifying, which I find lacking in the 7th District.

Hopefully I will see a change in my life-time.

We are certainly on the road to a new day with our presidential hopeful though.

Guess I'll keep my eyes on the big picture, because what I see and read before me is more of the same but with a different face and name.

Sounds like you need to react less on emotions and choose your words and candidates more carfully.

I hope you look into that "anger management problem.

Chris Welch is far from a class act. Chirs Welch can never compare to Obama. The Insider is just one example of the many lies that his supporters (all 20 of them) continue to spread. He needs to get over the fact that he lost and lost bad. Why does he continue to attack women? Welch is pathetic.

He has supporters like Greenhow, Larry Harold, Nicloe Trottie, and Sheryl Washington. What a disgrace. I am taking a quote from one of his 20 supporters "the apple does not fall to far from the tree." I am referring to his up bringing and how he was raised. His mother and father did a poor job at raising their sons. All of them are CRIMINALS!

Here is another blog that is tired of Welch's bullshit. Our schools are ranked 90th out of 90.

And Chris Welch is soley to blame for the poor school ranking? C'mon. Be logical. What are you doing as part of the solution to the problem? Starting blogs that toss blame here and there, berating people and their families? I happen to know Nicole Trottie. I can't say that she's a supporter of Chris Welch or not, but she's not against him. Sounds like someone is mad because Trottie will have nothing to do with Yarbrough and her people. They can't manipulate her to spread their hate. They can't manipulate Pioneer Press either.
I'm not impressed with Yarbrough at all and even less than before. You people are obsessed with Chris Welch. I mean every other sentence on this blog and Nyberg includes his name. Do you not know the principal of thought "that where your mind goes your energy follows"? Yarbrough's "people" under her direction have done nothing to elevate her community, reform the schools, and make Proviso a better place. Yarbrough's focus is on Chris Welch, and so all your energy flows.
It's time for a new breed of politics.

To John Wicks, a Karen Yarbrough supporter, who posted the following comment under anonymous, here is some food for thought... Your thoughts are but a looking glass...

"Damn, Chrs you are that obessed with Karen. A lot of people are not Karen supporters they just hate CHRIS WELCH! My state rep vote was a vote against YOU, Mr. Welch! Chris you did not win in your own precint! Your own neighbors did not vote for you!

Rep Yarbrough raise your standards and those that follow will fall in suite. At first impression you look and come across so much more professional. That's such a pity! I supported you.

Anonymous said...

Wicks did not write that comment. I guess Chris forgot that EVERYBODY HATES CHRIS. It is hard to pin point the writers of comments against Welch because EVERYBODY HATES HIM!

As far as Nicole Trottie goes she is an AD WHORE! One minute she is talking about Welch and his whole family, grandmother included. She talked about how he kissed her on her whole face. Now, that Welch is giving to her bullshit paper, Welch is the man. Come on Trottie don't be a whore your whole life.
Pimping is dead! Ask crusty balls Gene Moore.

Anonymous said...

Beleive me Welch is not giving enough to Trottie's paper to influence her. Didn't Yarbrough and Williams "give to" her paper, too? And she kicked em' to the curb. Didn't Yarbrough write some letter on behalf of Rev. Wiley about the notorious Off The Record column she published. Then Yarbrough "strongly suggested" to Wiley he publish it in her paper for $500. Do you know what happened... the letter, allegedly written by Rev. Wiley certainly didn't read in the spirit of Rev. Wiley, but more like Karen Yarbrough and Larry Shapiro, and Trottie turned down the $500 full page ad. What's so sad about the whole thing is that Wiley's media person, who was once on good term with Trottie and talked often, couldn't even call her about the ad placement, she sent Trottie an email. Hmmm, perhaps she know she was WRONG. Yarbrough also pressured someone in Rock of Ages administration not to advertise with the paper. Wiley will wake up and see Yarbrough for what she is, after his supporters start dropping like flies. Trottie picks her battles and believe me, money is never her determining factor. She is unlike most black's in Proviso, thats why you probably don't get her. Is she an ad whore... You do the math. The evidence just doesn't ad up.
She is one BOLD BITCH OF A BUSINESS WOMAN! Sounds like you have a lot a misplaced anger you need to resolve.

The last comment did get something right Nicole Trottie is a BITCH! You have a lot of insight on Nicole Trottie, maybe you are the ugly big mouth BITCH!

She does look like a female pitbull, a pitbull with a skirt.

Nicole Trottie NOT A HOTTIE!

Anonymous said...

Sounds like you have a lot of pent up hate and frustration. What's your hate doing? Is it affecting Nicole Trottie or is she going about her paper? Is it changing anything for the worse or better? Can it make other people hate Nicole Trottie? Why do you accuse her of lying about Pasquale? Did you ask her? What did she stand to gain by lying? Your accusations just don't add up. You attack her appearance because you have absolutely nothing of substance to fall back on. That's extremely juvenile. By the way you detail her every move and relationship, it sounds like you're more interested, envious, and obsessed with her than you probably care to admit. Envy is self destructive. Elevate your thinking.
