Media “Black Out” On Carpentersville

Posted by Bill Sarto on May 22, 2009

It looks as though we are now going to see a media “black-out” on news from Carpentersville’s Village board meetings.

This is all part of the plan of course. For the previous four years you couldn’t pick up either the Daily Herald or the Courier-News the day or two after the Village board meetings without reading something about what took place at that meeting. If Carpentersville’s Village board is not making news, they must not be doing anything. I would think that the news media would cover actions or non-actions taken by ALL the Village’s. Didn’t Carpentersville take any action at the last meeting? East Dundee made the news for “not taking action.” Dundee Township made the news for denying a request to use Raceway Woods.  

It was conspicuous by it’s absence that there was nothing written by the local media about the Carpentersville Village board meeting of May 19, 2009.

The news instead focused on East Dundee not filling the Village Clerk’s position. There was another non-story about Dundee Township not allowing an event at Raceway Woods.

Is this what the people of Carpentersville should expect in the future? No reports on what the Village board has done or not done.
