oppose campton hills: Vote Yes, Yes, Yes for the Dissolution of Campton Hills!!!!!! The time to Act is now!!!!
- 10/06/08 07:59 AM
Driving around Campton Hills, formerly known as the great area of unincorporated Saint Charles and Wasco and saw a couple of vote no for the dissolution signs in their democratic, big government blue. I decided to give an snyopsis of my take on the importance of this issue. Additionally, below I have attached the flyer that's being passed around by the citizens opposing the new, bigger government of Campton Hills. My synopsis mirrors a lot of what these people are promulgating.
1) Biggest thing for me is what they say about Fiscal Responsibility. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that … (0 comments)

oppose campton hills: Reasons to Vote For the Campton Dissolution as Given by Campton The Promise!!!
- 10/06/08 01:54 AM
Reasons for Dissolution
FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY
•· It is unrealistic and ultimately impossible to effectively manage a municipality with "No New Taxes." Shared revenue from the State is never paid out at 100 %.
•· The Special Service Area (SSA) established because of flooding in the Evening Prairie subdivision is essentially a tax, but residents have been told it is a benefit.
•· Relying solely on sales tax revenue to support a village requires a thriving retail and commercial area. Currently this does not exist in the Village of Campton Hills to the extent necessary to support the added layer of government. … (0 comments)

oppose campton hills: Campton The Promise
- 09/26/08 02:01 AM
Just signed on today and got an broadcast e-mail showing the new site for the opposition against Campton Hills. I've cut and pasted, but you can get the information yourself from the site. The site is www.camptonthepromise.com. Do your own research and make your own decisions on what you want to do, but this looks like a very well thought out site. All of the citizens in Campton are concerned with the future of the area out here. It's taken over 2000 signatures to get on the ballot to dissolve Campton where it only took a few signatures to create this … (0 comments)

oppose campton hills: Vote Yes....for the Campton Hllls Dissolution
- 09/23/08 05:23 AM
Time is always of the essence. It's time that the Citizens of Campton Hills band together to let their voices be heard. It's on the ballot and there's a lot of information for and against keeping this entity together. We already know that a special service tax has been created for a drainage district despite the claims of no new taxes. The villagers are free to vote any way they want, but the time to act is now. Check out the site www.stopcamptonhillspac.com. Although, I'm not involved with any organization, I have strong feelings towards this dissolution.

oppose campton hills: Campton Dissolution Is on The Ballot!!!!!!!!
- 09/01/08 02:19 PM
A lot of taxpayers want out of Campton Hills...or whatever the name of the community of the month is. People overwhelmingly want out. Petitions for disconnect continue forth. Judge Colwell ruled that the first two dicsonnect are allowed to leave and return to the peaceful entity formerly known as Campton Township. http://www.kcchronicle.com/articles/2008/08/27/news/local/doc48b4e9bbc1d26772792391.txt
There's a great amount of people who want to also see the entire frigging community go bye-bye. More than enough people have demanded that the residents take a vote. The vote simply needs to ask....SHOULD CAMPTON HILLS BE DISBANDED????? Although the answer to this is a resounding yes, certain … (2 comments)

- 08/25/08 02:59 PM
Check this out. The referendum on the ballot! Most importantly, it's the referendum of Campton Hills. The village is trying to get this removed, but it appears that all is good. Very excited to have this on the ballot. Let's see if we can get this Village to go away. Check out www.kanecountyelections.org/Referenda/currentreferenda.asp. Good things could be coming back to the residents fomerly known as Wasco, Campton Township and residents of Kane County. Please vote to bring back the way of life we had prior to the creation of the Village. Get out and vote.

- 08/19/08 04:56 PM
The KAne County Chronicle Today wrote about the village dissolution....A question to dissolve the village should not be on the Nov. 4 ballot because it is the wrong election and it was filed too soon after incorporation, four Campton Hills residents say.In court papers filed late Friday, Edward Fiala III, Aubrey Neville, Nancy Nickels and Linda Smith sued Chris Baldwin and Kane County Clerk Jack Cunningham to remove the dissolution question before ballots are printed. An initial hearing on the issues is scheduled today before Kane County Circuit Court Judge Michael Colwell."We are asking the judge to act quickly because the … (0 comments)

oppose campton hills: Campton Hills...My Personal Experience
- 08/08/08 02:17 AM
The microburst that came through monday night left devastation at our house. A lot of our roof was ripped off. Shingle nails came down and pierce car tires. 13 large trees were torn down, but ultimately our family was safe. No one was hurt. We couldn't access our street because of all of the trees down on the street. Later that evening Campton brought out a front loader and pushed the trees into the yards to make the streets accessible.
We had family come over to remove the trees and the pieces of our neighbor's homes that landed in our yard. … (6 comments)

oppose campton hills: Betty Loren-Malteese Leads Campton Hills??????
- 08/03/08 04:42 PM
Funny thing happened to me last night. I was out eating in Geneva when I ran into Paul Fritz, local landscape business owner who is trying to be squeezed by the local dictatorship, er government. Mr. Fritz was telling me of his woes and the villages desire to burden him with a ridiculous SSA (Special Service Area) tax. I later went home and found an article on Paul Fritz from the Kane County Chronicle.
Evidently, there is a drainage problem and Kane County is going to pay for about 1/2 half of the cost to make these changes. Having said that, … (4 comments)

oppose campton hills: Is the Fox Valley as bad as every other market?
- 07/27/08 03:13 PM
Now is the time to buy is all you hear nowadays. Sure, if you're a homebuyer it's a great time to buy a home, but many homebuyers have home sale contingencies that put them in the wrong market. THE MARKET IS...."HAVE INVENTORY.....LOOKING FOR BUYERS."
What makes the Fox Valley area so incredible is that it's a very white collar community coupled with an incredibly strong blue collar work force and work ethic. Needless to say a study was done for a nationally known international pub/restaurant chain. They determined that the median, YES MEDIAN income was over $110,000 per year per famlly. … (0 comments)

oppose campton hills: Campton's Leaders Back Down....
- 07/18/08 03:21 PM
Campton Hills has decided to allow the petition for the dissolution of Campton HIlls to be certified. Mind you, these leaders have spent a lot of time and money creating a community that most people now don't want. They incorporated, and have spent a lot of money in legal fees fighting subdivisions that have the right to opt out. What's so amazing is that I believe the majority of Campton's residents don't want anything to do with this village, but we're being taxed to pay attorneys to keep us hostage in Campton. So stupid isn't it?

oppose campton hills: Campton Hills....the cards begin to crumble!!!!
- 07/17/08 03:17 PM
Looks like the people are speaking. The question becomes...IS THE VILLAGE LISTENING. It only took, what, 250 people to get the referendum on the ballot to create this quagmire, but they needed over 2000, yes two-thousand, signatures to get the ballot to state, 'LET'S KICK OUR NEW VILLAGE TO THE CURB. Long overdue.
The village had a short notice meeting to discuss the actions of the village clerk. You can find the referendum for the DISSOLUTION OF CAMPTON, www.villageofcamptonhills.org/Resolutions/R-08-17.pdf as well as the emergency board minutes that focused, for the most part on the clerk....not the resolution.

oppose campton hills: Campton Hills...the house of cards begins to crumble
- 06/12/08 04:18 PM
Well just as I've been saying all along. All those promises of NO MORE TAXES helped our Village of Campton Hills officials get elected and a new town created.....Gross.
The Kane County Chronicle reported yesterday that "Campton Hills wants to create a special tax district to pay for drainage improvements in the Evening Prairie and Verhaeghe subdivisions and about 87 adjacent acres. About 40 homeowners are affected. County officials say the area's aging drain tiles are on the verge of collapse and the work is necessary." A courageous land owner, Mr. Paul Fritz, evidently is considering fighting this tax.
Of course, … (4 comments)

oppose campton hills: Communism has come to Campton...
- 05/29/08 02:24 PM
Last week, I went to the Board Meeting for the Village of Campton Hills (VofCH). The VofCH declared the dissolution petition containing 2100 signatures -determined to be valid by the Kane County Electoral Board this past December - to be VOID. Patsy Smith briefly feigned concern about providing some sort of explanation to the audience as to how this decision was reached. Attorney Braithwaite, in a side comment to President Smith, indicated that no explanation was necessary.The Board, none of whom dared to make eye contact with the mostly anti-Village audience, unanimously approved the decision. So much for open government and self determination!

oppose campton hills: Candidates for Campton - Candidates for Disinformation - True colors shown
- 01/24/08 12:50 AM
The pro-government candidates are absolutely fixated on finding a connection between B&B and the Stop Campton Hills PAC. Their time would be better spent trying to find a copy of the Village budget so we would all know what this Village is really costing all of us. Their PAC (Political Action Committee) is fixated on contributions that B&B gave to fight the incorporation of Campton. This was through Concerned Citizens Against Incorporation (CCAI). This was a completely separate PAC than the current one that is seeking to dissolve the Village of Campton. As far as the fraudulent postings on the Candidates FOR … (0 comments)

- 01/16/08 03:21 AM
A friend of mine who shares the same concerns about the future of Campton Hills. Disinformation seems to be the theme for the proponents of big government and increased taxation. They are running under the platform of Citizen for Campton Hills. I know the majority, who seems to understand the truth will support the candidates that support the Citizens in Campton Citizens. The other group is only interested in support the creation of a new government. We want to support our citizens....

Free us from Campton Hills has a political PAC organization. http://www.stopcamptonhillspac.com/ is the website. I've posted so many times about this. I'm not involved politically in a direct, tacit or indirect way. I'm just a concerned citizen who hates the irresponsible government that exists and that wants to tax us against their campaign promises of establishing a government without new taxes.....below is an excerpt from that site that was published October 14, 2007..........
