This blog was started almost three years ago as a comical storyboard of comical things that really happen within the walls of Forest View village hall. Stories that are submitted are verified through our sources from around the village. When Thomas Heller and friends took over, the village was turned upside down and we wrote about it. Larry Powell can write fancy letters with what he and his friends want you to believe but he can’t hide from the truth. Larry can accuse this blog of “Cyber Bullying” but is it really bullying when we speak the truth? It took Larry several months to address this blog because Larry knows the events that are mentioned are not “half truths” and “false views”. Larry had no idea how to lie to you and make you believe these things did not happen.
Let us explore the world of President Powell:
Deputy Chief No More
The Deputy Chief of Police was recently forced to step down from his position for admittedly working a second job while on duty for a period of two years or more. This theft of time and money was first reported here but we only tell “half-truths”. If our story was a “half truth”, why was the Deputy Chief Salvador Rodriguez asked to step down?
Don’t take our word for it, request a FOIA for the former Deputy Chief’s disciplinary record and you can read all about it there. Or maybe not, Larry made a closed-door deal to keep that information from being in the Deputy Chief’s permanent employment record while allowing him to quietly step down.
Maybe you can go knock on Larry’s door and ask him why there is not a Deputy Chief any longer. Larry will DENY that there was ever any investigation. Larry will hide behind the “this is a personnel matter” forgetting that public officials are open to scrutiny by the public. Any official complaint or investigation against a public official should be public record and disclosed to the public. But Larry doesn’t play by the rules because he "says so”. Ask a few trustees (preferably more than two), you might get an honest one.
If this were any other employer, the Deputy Chief would have been fired for theft and official misconduct. That smells like a cover-up or shall we say corruption, but Larry sees an Employee of the Year. In case you didn’t know Larry, corruption is defined as dishonest or fraudulent conduct by those in power.
No Background Checks
The former Deputy Chief of Police hired a few officers without conducting a proper background check. The reason given was there was no time to complete the background checks required. We broke that story here but Larry wants you to believe its false. Anyone, and we mean anyone can investigate this as our sources did using FOIA requests. Larry will DENY this also, but we guarantee that the officers will not. Stop them and ask them before Larry orders them gagged.
Inappropriate Conduct
How Larry ended up as our president is borderline inappropriate. Larry was not voted into office in any public election. After losing his job and finding himself in some financial trouble, the president who we did vote in Thomas Heller stepped down leaving a vacant seat. Why would he do that? Heller needed a job so the plan was to take the Fire Chief position but Heller couldn't appoint himself. Enter Larry Powell. Powell always wanted to be president. Larry was voted into the vacant seat by his friends when his other friend Thomas Heller who was voted in by the people stepped down. Then Larry turned around and gave his friend Thomas Heller a full-time job as the Fire Chief that he wasn't qualified for. The fire department fell apart soon after.
Larry wants you to believe that he served us on the village board proudly for 24+ years. But serving requires actually showing up to board meetings. A FOIA requesting the attendance sheets for the past 24 years will show you how much Larry actually served us. When he did show up, Larry would “Bully” those who didn’t give him the answers he wanted.
While we are on the subject of bullying, during the recent flood scare a constituent contacted the village and made a request. That request ended with Larry yelling expletives at the constituent before ending the phone call. Very appropriate Larry.
Larry wants you to believe that it is only one or two trustees that are against all his actions. If that were the case, why is it that Larry can’t get anything passed? Now THAT is a “half-truth” Larry. The “Full-Truth” is the majority of the trustees on the board have voted Larry and his friends down. For the past few months, police chief Garry Wiseman has attempted to "promote" a part-time police officer to full time status. The majority of the board has turned that request down multiple times. Why would they do that? The officer Wiseman wants to promote is a friend of the disgraced former deputy chief Salvador Rodriguez. The police department is still plagued with staffing problems created by the former Deputy Chief. Rodriguez. Rodriguez hired a bunch of his friends who now can't work for the village or refuse to work for the village after finding out Rodriguez was demoted. Don't believe us? Ask for the overtime numbers at the next board meeting. The police chief can provide a list of part time officers and the last date the officers on that list worked a shift in Forest View.
The fires department struggles with staffing for much of the same reasons. No one wants to work for/with an incompetent fire chief. Find a fire department member and ask them what it's like to work in the Forest View department. Your off the record conversation may surprise you.
Larry has lost control and is now throwing everyone around him under the bus for his terrible mismanagement of this village. Many of the accomplishments he is taking credit for were not really his for the taking. But it’s Larry and he can say he was responsible for them because he "says so".
Good luck Larry, we hear you have a difficult opponent in the next election.

Have the states Attorney General come in and investigate our former deputy chief's shenanigans. I'm sure several felonies were committed.
Loathsome Larry
I just saw Joe Biden on TV. He was telling everyone what a great President for the Village of Fores View he would make...Then his people pulled him off stage and ended the press conference.
I didn't receive mine. Please have one sent to me:
Gary Wiseman

Just drop it in the first window west of the doors if I'm sleeping. I asked my Deputy Chief to get me a copy, but realized I don't have a DC, plus Sal stopped talking to me.
Signed,

It’s all such a JOKE!!!
Looks like larry stepoed on your feelings. Sounds like he really hurt you Jim
Youre not one to be outdone. Larry put out a whiney useless message causing you to put out an even more whiney and more useless message. Good job
Anyone else notice the group of villagers that dont feel represented by loudest trustees. I did. They didnt have kind things to say to you Jim, could you hear them during your lunatic ramblings? I did and i was proud of them
Wanna know why Jim makes stupid decisions concerning the village? Its because hes just a ditch digger. No points given for being the supreme leader of the poop patrol
You can try to punish everyone because you were born with a small penis but in the end you will still have a small penis
The blog should do a story about the late night homoerotic affair that Bainel Zarate and Jim Sudcapm are having. Bainel picks up Jim on his night shift and they drive off and park somewhere to do the unmentionable. We think that handcuffs are involved. Word is that Bainels vehicle comes back with a weird odor. Bad enough that we have to deal with Covid but now we have to worry about HIV too
Wheres the follow up on the gay sex where sudcamp puts on a leash and acts like a dog while licking peanut butter off of zarate?
Ive got nothing against fetishes but i dont think ot should be done when zarate is on duty
The citizenry has taken notice Jim's gross misconduct at the meetings and online. Seems like his attempted coup d'etat is very likely to fail as all the anger he created is turning strongly against him
Whos the asshole harassing kids with scateboards? Was that you Jim? Youre pretty close to being accused of being a child predator. Officially that is, i already consider you as being one. It could still happen, those kids still have time to press charges. I may just FOIA a copy of the police report myself and put a copy in everyones mailbox
If those kids do press charges, i hope that the police chief gets arrest you himself. ha Haha HAHAHAHAHAHA!
When you mention a difficult opponent, do you mean difficult as in difficult to deal with, difficult to be around, difficult to watch his childish tantrums and difficult to listen to his incoherent yelling or do you mean a worthy opponent? If its the first example than you must be talking about jim
Your silence validates my accusations. Thank you for that
I dont blame you for being anonymous. Your intense personal shame must be overwhelming. Larry puts his name on his statements so that automatically puts him several levels above your passive aggressive lunatic rambling. I dont think much of Larry, so imagine where you rank. Not that it really takes any imagination.
Gar-Bear is a fat blob of diabetes
I was trying to figure out the purpose of this blog since it wasnt immediately appearant. So i decided to read the only book that this blog has ever referenced.
This took me on adventure to the Stickney-Forest View library childrens section where I was able to get a copy of Mr. Wellington by David Rabe. There wasn't much to gained from that book as it pertains to the blog, but while i was there another childrens book caught my attention. It was a book called Weird But True: Stupid Criminals: 100 Baddies Busted. The psychology presented in this book helped me crack this case wide open. I can now clearly see that Jim Sudcamp is planning to build a mindless coalition of patsies to support him when he runs for village president so he can remove Gary Wiseman for the sole purpose of promoting Bainel Zarate to police chief. Its childish enough of a plot to be an afterschool special.
Here are some problems with the plan:
First problem is that Jim is an idiot, a predator and wanna be dictator. He has wretched people skills and should not be in charge of anyone and based on his lunatic rantings he shouldnt be in charge of anything important. Critical thinking skills are not his forte, he prefers childish emotional reactions.
The second problem is that Zarate shouldnt be in charge either. Anyone that uses an anonymous blog to attack his fellow officers obviously has no leadership skills. To the contrary, he has singlehandedly destroyed the moral at the station and made the organization refect poorly on our entire community. Thats not how leadrship works. Zarate has proven himself to be a cancer and should be removed and never advanced. He a cancer on the same level as John Kiser. Only an idiot would make Kiser a fire chief so i can only assume that he is part of the plan as well.
The people we have in positions now may not be the best or even adequate, but we as a community would be looking for a step up and not a step down as your plan would clearly be. Making the existing people look bad will never make Sudcamp, Zarate and Kiser look better. In fact, nothing could make those three stooges come across as passable.
I would love nothing more than seeing these three get poked in the eyes, have their noses twisted with a pair of pliers and kicked hard enough in the behind to project them out the door and out onto 45th street so everyone can see them for the real stooges that they truly are.
Wishing people would die from the virus? Is this a new low or just your normal low?
I was going to throw eggs at you during the meeting tonight but the meeting was cancelled. Theres always next week!
Run out of things to say or are you being quiet now that we know who you are? Whos Mr. wellington now? Mr. Jim Wellington and Bainel Wellington. You two combined dont have a whole brain.
Have you read "roberts rules for parliamentary proceedure" yet? Or are you still struggling your way through "Mr. Wellington"
If your brain was dynomite, you wouldn't have enough to blow your hat off of your head
Assault any children lately?
Did you run out of stupid things to say?
Halloween is coming! Will you be out assaulting children?
You should write a blog about how to be stupid, i think that you would be great at it
Which of the two of you is the dominant one? Who wears the leash in the relationship? Do you use the mattress under the bridge next to the canal?
Your description of larry is interchangeable with my description of jim. Why would i want either one of you in charge? I hope an emotionally mature adult steps up to take the position.
How many bloggers does it take to change a light bulb? None! Blogs dont accomplish anything useful
What should i do tonight? Should it be a surprise? Should i wait until the height of jim's narcisstic rage?
Does Mike Grossi get jealous of the time you spend with B? Or do you have three ways?
Did you know that there is a song about you? It goes Jimbo Jimbo bo Bimbo....
Whats on the agenda tonight? Yelling? Fist pounding? Toddler like tantrum? Do you plan to do this ahead of time or is this how you act all of the time? Are you the male version of a karen? Mr Karen Sudcamp..... I like it
Are you busy planning all the stupid things that you will say tonight or do you make it up as you go along?
Am i too late for the illegal meeting before the meeting?
