Bum Steers

Open prairies, no doubt, are a good thing. But this is ridiculous:
Four of the Texas longhorns spotted around Johnsburg and Spring Grove are still at large, Johnsburg police said late Friday morning.
Texas longhorns still on the loose around Johnsburg, police say
One school got a new enrollee:
A roaming calf was spotted outside Johnsburg Junior High School Thursday morning, which officials at the school said was one of a few stops it made through town that day.

According to experts, the Texas Longhorn is a breed with horns that can extend to over 8 feet.

A spokesman for Tyson the Bison issued a statement: "Texas is sending its rapists and drug dealers into Lake County. We need to build a wall along the McHenry County border to stop them."

That's all your LakeCountyEye has. Git along little dogies.

The Travelling Sales Tax

An actual unretouched screencap from the Lake County Gazette, Lake County's #1 fakenews source:

And an actual unretouched screencap of the Lake County Gazette, from the same day:

Exactly how much Deer Park sales tax was collected in 2021? Nobody knows.

One thing is known.  The Lake County Gazette and the people of Russia get their news from the same source: the Russian State Media.

Operatives are challenged to guess which random numbers the Russian Troll Farms will be circulating tomorrow.

Politically Incorrect

No BS
CORRECTION ALERT!

Sharpeyed readers of this blog have spoken. Your LakeCountyEye erred in:
Better to Build a Bridge than a Wall
It was claimed that Republican Lake County Clerk Robin O'Connor was not driving the truck that struck the Long Grove bridge. This is incorrect. The correct statement should be that Lake County's Metra Citizen's Advisory Board Member Larry Falbe was not driving the truck that struck the Long Grove bridge.

Your LakeCountyEye regrets the error.

Better to Build a Bridge than a Wall

Galloping Gertie
Whoever said ...
Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
never anticipated the Long Grove covered bridge:
Yet another truck got stuck under the cover of Long Grove's iconic bridge, authorities said Thursday. This is the 30th time a truck has struck the bridge cover since it was reopened in August 2020 following repairs from a previous collision

The Ballot In Question

rosebud
Lake County moneybags Richard Uihlein wants to cancel the next election and he has the firepower to do it:
The Voter Reference Foundation is putting the nation's voter rolls online while making unsupported claims suggesting election fraud. The group's funding can be traced to a Super PAC funded by the CEO of Uline.
Billionaire-Backed Group Enlists Trump-Supporting Citizens to Hunt for Voter Fraud Using Discredited Techniques
Uihlein's foundation is putting personal voter registration information and voting history on the Internet:
In early August, the foundation published on its website the names, birthdates, addresses and voting histories for 2 million Nevada voters,
Billionaire-Backed Group Enlists Trump-Supporting Citizens to Hunt for Voter Fraud Using Discredited Techniques
And Uihlein's foundation will use fuzzy math and chicanery to show that elections are all rigged:
officials said that the methodology used to identify the discrepancies was flawed, the data incomplete or the math wrong.

The message to Lake County is clear: For the love of God, don't vote ever again!

Who is your first line of defense against this foreign onslaught?  Republican Lake County Clerk Robin O'Connor.

Operatives are asked to insert their own joke here.

A bottle of Russian vodka would be perfect.

Third World War

Lake County has been sad witness to a government entity exerting illegal sovereignty over its independent neighbors. Your LakeCountyEye of course is referring to the Village of Third Lake and nearby residents of unincorporated areas.

HaHa, despite lacking jurisdiction, the Village of Third Lake wants to impose boat fees on unincorporated residents with homes on Third Lake:

Village of Third Lake
ORDINANCE NO. 22-02-02
NATO forces are not expected to intervene.
