My last two comments stated feel free to contact me on my Facebook page, by phone, by email, in person or by pm. This is none of the above. What is wrong with answering questions here? Is it too public? This is where you seemed comfortable for years defending what our City does and doesn't do. This is where your husband seemed to feel was an appropriate place to ridicule me for asking for better for our community and to try to make it seem acceptable that our laws are not enforced resulting in excessive numbers of negative incidents. This is where Willy seemed to feel it most appropriate to confront me with the City's judgment that my family was "obviously" sleeping at the Majestic when we weren't. This is where there seems to be a much bigger audience who is very interested in these things. colplumb seems to really be interested in hearing here what Council majority you are a part of. I don't feel that our City leaders should be afraid to publicly answer questions and be held responsible for what they say, regardless of where it is.

I have no qualms about posting there. Here is the link to my page - www.facebook.com/councilwomanbedei I also defended you on here when your chickens were called into question.

In my opinion the only reason you would post this information is to be vindictive. I personally find you pathetic. In my opinion, since you "failed" in Streator, you want to make certain no other businesses would want to locate here, after all your allegations of corruption by our elected City Council, the myth of an old boy's club, and the complaints you have against or Police Department have never been substantiated. Hey Kyle, would you care to share with the forum the name(s)of the "financial backer" and building owner that was supporting that Aquaponics business you wanted to create. Perhaps they don't/didn't exist. Prove they did. If they do exist, perhaps they could PM me and a location could be found to make it happen. But hey, just stating one small insignificant individual's opinion. g

I have no qualms about posting there. Here is the link to my page - www.facebook.com/councilwomanbedei I also defended you on here when your chickens were called into question. This place being acceptable for you to stick up for our City for years and City leaders including your husband to attack me, but not acceptable to answer questions about what our City does, seems like a double standard to me. I don't make it over to face book often, so I doubt I'll post my list of questions there. However, if I do, since some of my questions refer to background conversation and City leader's attacks on here, do you suggest that I post this entire thread there so the public knows what they are in reference to? Oh wait you probably won't answer that, so I guess I'll just have to do whatever I want. Since some of my questions are in reference to long standing conversations here, and this is where your husband attacked me, you wouldn't have a problem with me posting any replies here, right? Once again since you won't actually answer any questions here (but seem to only post here to try to create an appearance of being very open), I will feel free to do as I please in that regard too. I think our City leaders should be more forth coming with the public who they work for. You came to my defense on the chicken issue, really??? What do you call that statement, if not you using this site for your personal politics? An opportunity during election season for you to show people here that you were in support of more rights for citizens, and you snatch it up, but can't answer questions here because this isn't your personal political site? That double standard seems to me to be right in line with attitude of the "majority" established City leadership I've seen. Other than campaigning, why else would you bring up coming to my defense on the chicken issue? Was it another attack on my character? Are you trying to imply that if I hadn't of had you in my corner I would be sitting in a prison cell or on death row now? Isn't it a fact that I had followed our laws and was perfectly legal owning as many farm animals (other than swine) as I wanted to, was not hurting anyone by having a few laying hens that people don't even know if I have any more or not, and didn't ned you to "defend" me at all? Yes, I remember that you seemed to be for citizens in residential areas being able to have the right to have a few laying hens too. The only ones who really seemed to have a problem with the hens were some bar people. The City seemed eager to take some action on the issue. What ever happened with that? Did I miss the introduction of your ordinance to have the harmless birds with many benefits be accepted here or did you think the resistance form the bar supporters within our City administration was just to strong to allow people here to have those rights? colplumb, it seems that there is still a "majority" here keeping Streator heading in the same direction it has been, with a lack of rights and answers for the people.

It seems that I am not the only one who failed in Streator, have you looked around to see how many empty buildings there are?

Substantiate my accusations, why would I need to do that? Our City didn't bother to substantiate their claims against me. It's not like I am a government entity making claims against a citizen, just an insignificant citizen talking about the job that the leaders I employ are doing. There is a big difference, you know? Perhaps it is time to post the Mayor's letter giving his Aquaponics requirement and stating the property owners name, not that it wasn't already posted here, or that I care whether you believe me or not.

Why do any of you worry about what Mr. Irrelevant thinks. He is a part-time resident, he or someone in his family own what is basically an abandoned building.

What's the matter greek? You keep posting the same comment repeatedly even though I had already responded. Is your brain stuck or did you want another response? Do you really think that talking about what our City leaders have posted here is being vindictive? Don't you think that if they aren't proud to stand behind what they say, maybe they should choose better things to say in public? I stand behind my allegations that giving a requirement that is not justifiable within our laws, denying the use of City Park based on the subject to be discussed, and making public declarations of guilt against citizens without providing them due process to defend themselves, are corrupt activities. Didn't you see the video that I had posted and compare the lack of enforcement here to the Naperville enforcement? Do you want me to post it again to try to substantiate my complaints? Why would you be interested in finding a location for the building owner? Do you seriously think that it could be worth moving his still vacant building to another location? That sounds about as ridiculous to me as applying for an industrial zoning change on Main Street. Wouldn't it be a lot better if our Mayor were to just give out the proper requirements so that he could provide a justification when he stops a business, or better yet, just not be so closed minded to even stop a business that doesn't create negative impacts?

Is it because you wish that what I talk about was irrelevant? You seem to act like you have a lot to say, but never really say anything. I do still have a residence in my building and could show up to open the store any day. I would think that makes it a lot less abandoned than the boarded up movie palace or a lot of other buildings in downtown Streator.

Are you proud of your husband's attempt to ridicule me for asking for better for our community? Do you share his apparent feelings that these things are acceptable here since they may also happen in Naperville? Do you think that these incidents being allowed to continue outside the Majestic for so many years helped attract or deter customers from patronizing the movie palace before the owner considered it a failure and boarded it up? Do you feel that my family residing in CBD was illegal when declared so by the City? Why do you suppose the City would not respond to my family's Accessory Use defense and either state that we were indeed illegal residents or clear us of their public charges and character assault that damaged my son's business? Do you feel it was appropriate for our City to make such a public declaration without first reading their ordinance or providing people their Constitutional Right of Due Process? Do you feel that our Mayor denying use of City Park based on the subject to be discussed, particularly at election time, is properly following the oath he took to uphold the Constitution? Do you feel that there is proper justification in our ordinances for the Mayor's industrial zoning requirement for Aquaponics? If so, what is it? Do you think it is appropriate for our Mayor to just ignore requests for his justification for the requirement that stopped a business? Do you feel that it was appropriate for our City to threaten a fine against my son for displaying bicycles outside while allowing others to continue displaying their merchandise outside for years without a Special Use Permit, while also ignoring requests for years that the ridiculous ordinance be changed? If I show you a lease and gas company receipts for a house in Streator where my family lived and an opening gas bill not until the fall of 2007 for the Majestic, do you think you could get me a new trial so that no one else at the City feels that I owe them anything for turning their heads to a crime that my family wasn't committing? Do you feel it is appropriate for our City to make judgments such as that without providing business owners a chance to present their side? Do you feel it is appropriate for a City official to use information such as that to attack the character of citizens when they don't like what they have to say? Do you support our City's head turning policies, or do you think there should just be one set of fair laws for everyone to follow equally? Other than asking for solutions to the problems that I saw first hand hurting business and talking about what does and doesn't happen here, do you feel that I did anything to deserve to be treated the way that I have by our City? Can you understand how, after everything that has happened and the condition of our downtown, I could see a dire need for things to start being done differently? My last two comments stated feel free to contact me on my Facebook page, by phone, by email, in person or by pm. This is none of the above. Please feel free to contact me by any of the above. I will not argue with you on here. I am willing to answer questions, but not on here, as it is not my personal political page. Are you really going to acknowledge that you have seen my questions and avoid answering them because they were not posted in the specific place that you wanted them? That seems to me more like a leader who wants to dictate to the serfs of the community, not someone who is openly ready to serve the citizens of the community. I tried to go ahead and play your game by sending this post to you in a pm but since you seem to have blocked me, I will try sending an email and will be awaiting your answers. I am willing to answer questions, but not on here, as it is not my personal political page. Facebook is very public too and has many more people with accounts than on here.

Kyle, I don't believe any City of Streator official needs to answer any of your questions on this thread. You are, by your own admission "one small insignificant individual". Get over yourself. g

Kyle,
What's playing at the E-town, Kentucky "Bijou" tonight?
Isn't it time to start that popcorn machine so you can watch the smiling faces on all those children?
I just bet your making all kinds of new friends.
