The April 30 article on Robert Cantrell was explicit on what is wrong with both him and the system of electoral politics he represents. Suppressing the vote and encouraging voter apathy through rigged elections and self-serving government is the evil behind the throne.
Cantrell revels in all of this. Would you believe a sinner who said an empty church was a good one? Why believe a supposed advocate of democracy who says an empty voting booth is a good one?
From the outsider he brought in to run Hammond for the benefit of the construction and gambling industry, to the disappearance of mention of his children's legal problems, Cantrell has demonstrated his contempt for the ordinary citizens of the lakefront communities.
He claims the corruption is all behind us now as more of his handpicked candidates move to control our community's destinies. These people all talk about their financial knowledge, yet they take lakefront resources to create immediate, high-paying jobs for the south Lake County workers and tell us to wait 10 to 15 years for our return on investment.
In ordinary politics and business, this is totally unacceptable, but here it's a reality.
