Village of Schaumburg Attempts to Hide $17 Million in Accrued Village Sick Time Liability

From the Palatine Tea Party

(Palatine, Illinois) – The Village of Schaumburg went out of its way to hide employee sick time balances when we attempted to submit a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to obtain employee balances. Government agencies expect taxpayers to pay their expenses, but when asked to view the data the answer is met with clear opposition. The Village tried to hide behind HIPPA law as their excuse. We then appealed the Village’s decision with the Illinois’ State Attorney and won, click here.

After winning on appeal the Village of Schaumburg continued its uncooperative ways by mailing the balances on paper instead of scanning it electronically as originally requested. The Village of Schaumburg appears to be completely incompetent and does not understand that they work for the PEOPLE and NOT for themselves.

If you are outraged with government abuse at your expense, directly contact Al Larson 847-923-4704 and email the entire Schaumburg Village Board, click here.
