End the Fed Rally Features McHenry County Leadership

Chicago Edition of Nationwide End the Fed Rally Led by two County Residents

McHenry County residents Chris Jenner and Dave Brady are part of the organizing committee planning the Chicago End the Fed Rally to be held on November 22. Rallies will be held in 39 cities nationwide calling for abolishment of the Federal Reserve Banking System.

Many believe that the Federal Reserve is the primary cause of the current economic meltdown. The Fed is a private banking cartel, as much a part of the government as is Federal Express.

The Fed (responsible for our money) has never been audited. The Fed is currently refusing to honor a Freedom of Information Act request by Bloomberg News to disclose who received the $2 trillion on bailout money.

Information about the End the Fed Rally can be found here under Organizing Groups.

Oak Brook Paper Picks Up on Cary School Pay-to-Play Prohibition

Before the Illinois House passed a pay-to-play prohibition, Cary Grade School District 26 did so under the leadership of school board member Chris Jenner.

Two firms that stood to gain financially helped bankroll the Butler School District 53 bond issue last month, according to an Oak Brook Suburban Life article by Lane Kelley.

And, you know what, the name of that friendly blond from Wm. Blair and Company popped up again.

You remember Elizabeth Hennesey.

She was the one sitting in the audience of the Crystal Lake Elementary School District 47 Board meeting in December.

She was the contact person who worked on Carpentersville District 300’s pay-no-principal-back-for-years, plus paying an additional $11.8 million for the privilege.

Hennesey did not return phone calls to the Suburban Life reporter.

I can empathize with the reporter. Hennesey wouldn’t return my phone calls either.

The other big donor was the political action committee for bond counsel Chapman & Cutler.

Catch this part of the article:

Butler Superintendent Sandra Martin said the district was not involved in the contributions, “and there certainly was no guarantee of any work in the future,” she added.

Cary’s Chris Jenner, who shepherded an anti-pay-to-play rule though Grade School District 26, was quoted as saying,

“It happens in a lot of places. It happens more often than it doesn’t.”
