Not-for-profit E.C. Health Clinic Files for Bankruptcy

Only in NWI can this scam happen:
E.C. health clinic faces bankruptcy :: Local News :: Post-Tribune.

This is a not-for-profit organization into which million of dollars have been poured in only a short time.  One hospital alone put in $1million.  The article itself points out that nationally this is as rare as seeing a dinosaur as mayor of East Chicago.

Look who is on the board.  Everyone in Lake County knows what happened.  It is Democratic party Chicago mode of politics and reduction of unemployment: steal the money.  (Stealing includes overpayment of salary or expenses.  It also includes hiring too many political friends and other scams.) 

Nothing here is new.  That is why we need to have NO NEW TAXES.  Actually, all taxes should end in Lake County and we should depend solely on the gambling boats.  The citizens will be amazed how over a year all of NWI problems will be solved if we moved in that direction.

Since million of dollars of state and federal funds came to this clinic, the FBI should be all over this situation.  I am surprised that David Capp, the US Attorney General, has not already filed subpoenas for accounting and bank records.

US Attorney General Investigate: Former mayor owes $120K in back property taxes

Only in NWI.  I take it back.  This is Chicago Democratic politics.  They are doing this now in Washington D.C. with Senator Dodd and Pres Obama's sweet-heart mortgage deals with Countrywide.  Let us not forget their fake assessment values for tax purposes.

Now we have the same thing with a sitting Lake County Mayor and Democratic Party Chair and his father, also a former mayor.  Isn't this the state in which the Chair of the Democratic Party went to jail recently for fraud, kickbacks, and generally being an evil rotten human being?  Yes, is the correct answer and the name is Manos.

Former mayor owes $120K in back property taxes ::  Post-Tribune.

It is amazing that McDermotts try to claim that this is an honest mistake, a misunderstanding, some lost papers, etc.  Everyone knows that it is a lie.  A bold faced fake lie.  The only reason McDermott is not in jail is because everyone is afraid of his son who has been certified by everyone who knows him and I have talked to as "certifiably crazy."  Even his personal lawyer tells people that he is.  By crazy I mean he has a tendency for violence and maiming of those opposed to him.

How can you tell the McDermott, the father, is lying?  (Not, the obvious, that he is speaking.)  McDermott says he was over-assessed at $1.6 million and that is in dispute.  Well he admits that he took out a $1.2 million mortgage originally in 2002.  Then he took out a second mortgage for $700,000.  If he put anything down on this house, which is a big if, than it is obviously worth more than the $1.6 million assessed.  It is a big if, because this is part of the sweet-heart deal from Dean White family and Whitco Industries to McDermott, Jr. and Visclosky.  Now I want to know what legitimate mortgage company gives you loans on over 100% of your houses' assessed value?  And then does not require you to pay the property taxes on their own leveraged property?  I would love to get in on this deal.  Where is the Dean White Bank when I need it?   Did he take care of Dodd and Obama?   Does he know Rizo from Chicago?  Now we all know where to do our banking.

Everyone is quite aware that there has been a felony committed here.  From everything I know Mr. Capp, the newly name US AG for Northern Indiana, is a straight-shooter who pursues political crimes irrespective of party.  Here is the perfect case.  Democrats, Republicans, new names, old names, business people, and politicians all combined to commit this fraud on the people of the State of Indiana.  Someone needs to go to jail and only the United States Attorney can make it right.  B. Carter, the Lake County attorney, is in McDermott, the son, pocket.  Even the Lake County Sheriff will not move against the father.  Look what happened when he moved against the son's supplier. 

As an added footnote, I am sure the NWI Times newspaper will pursue this story once Tom McDermott, the tax cheat, stops visiting Bill Nangle, the Times editor, weekly.  (For those of you who do not remember, it was this tax cheat McDermott, while working at the Times who broke the circulation union.)

My next entry will be how McDermott, the father, received a luxury car as a gift because of his son.  Auctioneers do a lot of business in Hammond.

New Democratic Joke: Homicides drop to 49 in 2009 in the Steel City

The following story about crime being reduced in Gary is a combination of being the biggest lie, which no one living in Lake County belives or  an outright fable meant to mislead the population of Gary and Lake County for the sake of the Democratic Party politicians like Rudy Clay and the chair Tom "the Dooby" McDermott.
Homicides drop to 49 in 2009 in the Steel City :: Lake County :: Post-Tribune.

This Post-Tribune story is fake and everyone knows it (or should know it, unless they are delusional.)  Crime in Gary only went down because of two things.  One, there is no population left and two, there is nothing left to steal.  The next census should show that Gary has no more than 70,000 people.  Anything more than that and they are cooking the books.  A drop of 40% of the population will eventually lead to a drop in the number of crimes (i.e. nobody left to steal from; it is the same problem the politicians in Washington are having.)  Those that are left in Gary have nothing left to steal from.  The first murder of the year was a visitor from out of town shot three times on the porch of the home he was visiting.  It is safer in Mosul than Gary.

The sad thing is that everyone in NWI is trying to keep the crime in Gary, Hammond, and East Chicago but it is becoming a loosing battle.  Merriville is almost finished with the old South Lake Mall going the direction of the Calumet City Mall.  The only safety net is Munster; but, that will only occur if it can create a high enough fence between it and northern Lake County and Illinois, otherwise it is also living on borrowed time.

By the way, what I am saying here is not denied or deniable by anyone.  The latest census numbers show that the population of every city and town in the north half of Lake County is dropping substantially.  The only exception is Munster, so far.
