At the July 2026 Normal Township meeting Supervisor Krystle Able crowed about the great job her new hire at the ARCwas doing:
.
In the 3 weeks since her hiring, Beth had already made relationships with local businesses who would provide free stuff to the ARC for events, mostly food.
Yesterday, according to a little birdie, she was told to leave the premises. The only mention of this job at Tuesday’s Board meeting was Krystle thanking the Board for allowing her to create this position. She needs more revenue and this job has to supply it. There was a large amount of food at the Board meeting, likely left over from something else. I wonder where the leftovers went?
By the way, the ARC will be paid off next year making around $300,000 more available to spend. I hope Normal Township residents aren’t expecting property taxes to go down when it’s paid off. They won’t.
Krystle is already looking for Beth’s replacement. Maybe Beth can let me know the real story. Page down, as of this morning Beth was still on the ARC website: https://activityandrecreationcenter.org/about-us
Who are these crazy businesses that want to voluntarily give MORE money and resources to local governments?
Let’s get the list from Normal township via FOIA and not patron those establishments anymore. You either are feeding the beast or starving it. Anyone who joyfully cuts off their arm to feed Krystle Able deserve zero customers from the right.
They think helping seniors is charitable.
I just listened to a podcast about Socialism that highlighted a nuance that I hadn’t considered. It might fit in here.
Given that Socialism is a system that controls what people can or cannot have, what can or cannot be produced, who produces what, how it is priced or what is given and what is taken away from the citizens – What kind of people become the leaders in a Socialist system?
Some people who might be of a kinder persuasion, would not want to tell others what they can or cannot not have, how much they can earn or where they can live, who can be their doctors, and what those doctors can earn, where they can go to school and what they learn, (among other things).
Other people crave to be in a position where they can tell people what to do, how much they can earn and how they must live. Because government is god. This is Socialism and it requires a certain kind of mindset to be a leader it.
another crazy eyed uber leftist fired by a committed Socialst for who-even-know-what .. whole lot of commie drama going on over at that Arc.
