In addition to the $448.99 bike the taxpayers bought for Jeff Fritzen, you also threw him a party:
Note: You weren’t invited.
At the May 6, 2019 meeting, this expense appeared on bills: https://www.normal.org/ArchiveCenter/ViewFile/Item/3285
PDF page 12:
Since they likely ate things other than meat at the party you weren’t invited to, the cost is higher.
On the same page is renting tents for $750.00. Since peons weren’t invited we don’t know if they were used for the party,
Fritzen was paid $4800 a year to be a Trustee. His retirement is getting cost to costing just as much.
How much will the Town spend when Chris Koos goes?
If it was a notice pursuant to the OMA, then everyone was invited.
Sure. I will let you know when the next party is. crash it.
In what world (besides Mayor Koos) is this and the bike purchase OK? A $500 bike and a $3000 dinner as a going away gift or a payoff for loyalty and past shilling?
So if you are taxpayer in Normal…. how does this make you feel about the money you sent Mayor Koos and how he spent it?
Yes, one of YOU residents of Normal PAID this bill with YOUR taxes. I bet that money could have been put to a better use in the taxpayer was allowed to keep it?
Yes a good time was had by all and YOU paid for it….and you weren’t even invited.
Ironic that pulled pork was bought for the “porkers” in city gov’t celebration for a non-employee (elected official).
The Koos philosophy of government.
The public is invited, yet only elites are welcome and taxpayers are required to pay.
Just like the ‘citizen summit’! (Though at least I don’t think that cost as much…)
Gosh, all during my working career when a co worker retired we all chipped in with our own money for a retirement gift. My how times have changed.
