Whiteside County has Proposed
"RULES FOR PUBLIC COMMENT"
After contacting Lee, Ogle and Bureau counties to inquire about their rules for public comment, I attended the Whiteside County Board Meeting to see what they were proposing for their new rule. The Whiteside County Executive Committee is proposing rules that I feel are very restrictive and unreasonable by comparison! Here is what they have proposed:
Public/employee comments and questions shall be:
1. Submitted in writing prior to the meeting. Forms shall be
provided.
2. Limited to five minutes per person. Total time allotted to
public comment shall not exceed 30 minutes without consent of
the Board/Committee Chairman.
3. Directed to the Board/Committee and not to individual
members.
4. Presented in a professional demeanor and not in a
threatening, profane, vulgar or abusive manner.
5. Topics that are relevant to the business matters of the
County Board/Committee.
It shall be the decision of the Board/Committee Chairman if
it is appropriate to respond to a question and which Board
member will respond. Individuals who engage in repetitive
comments/questions will be asked to refrain and/or yield
the floor. The Board/Committee chairman may ask speakers
expressing similar viewpoints to elect one
person from the group to speak on their behalf.
Public comment shall not be allowed on agenda items coming
to the Board/Committee from a public hearing where sworn
testimony was taken. Those wishing to comment on these items
should attend and speak at the public hearings.

Debt Ceiling Vote
Goes Down in Flames!
John Boehner brought the Debt Ceiling increase to the floor for a straight up or down vote this week--no amendments, no spending cuts tied to it. This is just what Obama has been saying they want...they claimed Republicans were playing games with our nation's world standing by trying to tie it to spending cuts. So, how did it go? Not a single Republican voted to Increase the Debt Ceiling, 97 Democrats voted for the Increase, and 82 Democrats voted with Republicans AGAINST the Increase!
Now it is time to contact your Representatives and Senators and tell them they better get some SERIOUS committments on spending cuts before they even consider raising this obscene number any higher!

(unless otherwise announced) Click HERE for directions Join the Conversation Visit our SVTP Forum often to keep up-to-date on what is going on in our local communities and share your thoughts and ideas. Go to the Forum by clicking HERE It takes active involvement to get things done. When those of us who began to organize for the SVTP first got involved, we were WAY out of our comfort zone. None of us had ever done anything like this before and none of us wanted to actually lead. But, we recognized that this is of vital importance, so we did what we felt had to be done. We cannot do it alone! We need YOU! Please, get off the sidelines, step out of YOUR comfort zone and join us! We are in a fight for the soul of our nation and we need your help!
