"Five sworn Deputy Coroners apparently have never done any work, nor has a county payroll number ever been assigned to Bob Reid, Richard Davis, Mark Mueller, Bradford Engel, and Jim Wilson."

Are all of these individuals allowed to carry?

Deputizing them does not allow them to carry a weapon, it's their training and passing of course that does.

But Todd will never explain that!

Todd's FOIAs. Clear as mud on tinted glass.

Yo-yo's explanations for Todd's articles, clear as seeing the sky while their heads are tucked away in a coal miner's.... well you know.

Other than you being 'scared', there is nothing wrong going on here. It is completely legal within the state of Illinois. If you dislike the situation, then why is it not the Illinois laws that permit this 'special treatment' you are mad at? If Illinois was not the only state which decides its residents can't have the same rights as the other 49 states in the country, maybe the law is broken.

So far, the coroners office has a better track record of who it decides to give gun carry permission to, than the county sheriff does. Remember that off-duty lunatic on the force who pulled a gun on someone in Walmart for having too many items in the express checkout line? I know it was almost a whole year ago, but try to focus. How about the one who was arrested for stealing drugs from the community drop off services. That was the sheriffs decision to give those men the power to carry, and it turned out horribly. Yet, not once single negative instance has gone on(in over 40 years of this being done) from the decisions of the coroners office who to give this responsibility to. If anything, it seems like a very well handled and responsible use of power.

If you were a judge in Illinois(retired or not), you would probably want to keep a gun on you as well. Or do you not know your local history?

If you don't like it, change state law so this special treatment isn't even possible, because all residents would have it already.

Now Oswegosmarts, they are not going from bar to bar with their guns, at least I am hoping. They're just preparing for a re-inactment of "The Gunfight at the OK Corral." However, they are planning to give it a more modern flavor by calling it, "The Gunfight at the OK Oswego Inn."

If you FOIA the information of the deputies or just take my word from the information that I FOIAed, it will show that some of these people are already in law enforcement or have been trained through the Illinois State Police, to carry a weapon as a declared peace officer.

So stating that they are "throwing badges around like candy at a parade", is very inaccurate to say the least.

These people supply their own weapons and ammo but if need to be trained, are sent to the required course.

I would rather have armed law abiding citizens or peace officers around, rather than have criminals run at will in Kendall.

Wouldn't You, Oswegosmarts?

@Jake,
I did FOIA the information on ALL the deputies that served from 12-1-2000 to present. Coroner Toftoy & FOIA Officer Purcell deliberately chose to withhold the five names in question that you now claim to have a FOIA on. These Five Sworn Deputies have signed an “Oath of Office” filed with the County Clerk and were intentionally left off the Official list. One of them, Matt Prochaska is Candidate for Kendall County Board District #1. If these individuals are “trained” peace officers, why were they not disclosed when asked & where are their credentials?

After what I found and documented, your word is that of an anonymous commenter that refuses to use your own name and take real ownership for your statements. This is one of many inconsistencies & questionable statements you have made along with Mr. Toftoy. Elected Officials are to be held to a higher standard & Mr. Toftoy has failed to live up to those standards of ethical & honest behavior.

Do we taxpayers need to pay for a Management Person (Ken Toftoy) of one full time employee, who both refuse to return a $40 Personal Computer HDTV chip used to watch TV on a county computer? We have 6 to 11 Deputy Coroners, some w/ undocumented training for a 2011 case load of 256 deaths. Less than one death a day per year, the average for On-Scene Death Investigations requires the coroner to leave the office like two times a month. You do the math, I want to hire someone that is willing to & will do the work, not party.

Milliron,

You never asked the appropriate question in the FOIA. All you asked for was the information of who is a deputy, not who is trained to carry a firearm. EPIC FAILURE! It's called research skills and you have none.

It's YOUR failure, not the reader trying to decipher your tall tales.

Good Try! but just another miss on your hit piece of an article. So your, "If you do, you are a very diligent person." quote on diligence has been missed on your behalf as usual.

Brought to you by Todd Milliron, Campaign Director/Financier/Manager/Sign Maker to the elect Michael Dabney.

Todd,
Where will you guys be at that night of the election? I would like to bring a sympathy card to you and Dabney. Maybe if Yo-yo shows up too, I'll bring one for him also.

Jake,
This blog is not a hit piece, it raises relevant questions on how the current Kendall County Coroner, Ken Toftoy runs & staffs his office. It is fair game, legitimate questions have been asked about current operations, & staffing that deserves complete answers. That has not happened, it's been documented in black & white.
http://www.todd4kendall.org/Patchblog/KC_Coroner_7-10-2012%20FOIA_Deputy%20Coroner%20Records.PDF Read the 7-10-2012 FOIA

It could not be more clear, see 2nd & 3rd paragraphs of FOIA. Note the term “Officially Deputized” in paragraph #2, and the term “Law Enforcement Agent” used in paragraph #3. Yet, five individuals’ names were intentionally and willfully withheld by FOIA Officer Purcell and Coroner Toftoy in violation of the Freedom of Information Act.
No reason has been provided for the Coroner's additional failure to account for all Electronic Assets obtained by Ken Toftoy (charged at ACE Hardware) that we taxpayers paid for & I officially requested, then had that official request ignored.
These are two examples, of many on how Mr. Toftoy believes he does not have to account for his staffing and operations or taxpayer funds spent. Instead, Ken chose to send two deputy coroners on a witch hunt to the Oswego Fire Dept. to try to change the subject & focus from how the Coroner’s office is currently staffed & ran. I properly brought the focus back to the subject, "Current Coroner’s Office Operations & Staffing" with this new Blog.

Illinois is the only state to not have carry and conceal. We, as a state, are behind in understanding constitutional guarantees, the 2nd Amendment. Chicago and it's politicians have lead the charge to eliminate weapons (i.e. firearms) in Illinois. They have not been as successful, as they have hoped, and thank God for that.

So, if your issue is the issuance of one man getting a permit or badge to carry, after the appropriate classes, you need to have other concerns that are far more important. Such as, understanding true fiscal responsibility starts at home. Mr. Dabney does not have that quality (2010 Home Foreclosure)

As my Civics teacher told his class a long time ago, if you don't like the law, go run for office and change the law.

Otherwise it is well within the LAW for the Coroner to do this. Now the issue is a non issue.

http://www.todd4kendall.org/Patchblog/Wilson_9mm_training_voucher

I forgot here's the actual payment voucher for Wilson's ammo, etc.

And while I think of it, who checked out these persons' background? What medications are they using, if any? Will these medications impair their judgement? Who will get hurt, or killed if a gun goes off accidentally? Talk about a litigator's dream. THE CITIZENS SHOULD CONTACT THE KENDALL COUNTY CORONERS OFFICE AND DEMAND THAT ALL UNNECESSARY BADGES BE COLLECTED. For the sake of the safety of the Kendall County residents, and the protection of the taxpayer from multi-million dollar litigation.

Yo-yo,

Do you have any basis for your claim of liability due to Mr. Wilson or any other deputy carrying weapons?

I doubt it because there are none.

Maybe the you should ask the citizens of Kendall to demand all of the Sheriff's deputies not carry either? and what you have referenced was an issue of a deputy in the Sheriff's department, not the Coroner's office of the incident in Oswego.

Very poor analogy. And Very Poor Taste for your low blow on the law enforcement agencies in the county. You are truly ignorant.

Steve, please be careful or you are going to get yourself sued. Your statement that Wilson has "never worked for the county, as a deputy coroner" is false. He has been on a significant number of calls, and is properly sworn in. Fact is he has not turned in his pay vouchers and is doing the call response work without compensation.

maybe that will be on nodabney.com

Mike,

I had a conversation with Dennis Miller, the Coroner of DeKalb County. He says that he does not allow his deputies to carry a gun. He said while it is legal, it is not ethical. Also, he told me that he can carry a gun, but does not.

Mike,

Dennis Miller, the Coroner of DeKalb County is able to have an opinion like everyone else. He chooses not to have deputies carrying.

If you know the history of Coroner's and they deputies, you would not have stated a question like this

Imagine that the Coroner or one of the deputies are at a crime scene. Then lets say there happens to be an issue, that involves those individuals protecting themselves at that crime scene.

How does the Coroner or deputy protect themselves? Then since they cannot protect themselves, full liability falls on the county in case of injuries or death.

It's a matter of opinion and by LAW the elected Coroners or Medical Examiners can allow deputies to be trained for weapons to carry.

Here's a good article that could explain the issue for all Coroners and their deputies throughout the nation.
http://articles.latimes.com/2009/mar/06/local/me-coroner-guns6

And if you don't think we have a gang problem in the area, you most likely have your head stuck somewhere. You just never know what could happen but when it happens, make sure not to criticize those being prepared. I would rather have a deputy going home at night to their families than being harmed or dead because someone on a blog didn't think it was appropriate to carry.

The irresponsiblity increases exponentially when you consider that the county paid for the ammunition, and training of a person who was, at the time, and up until today, not an employee of Kendall County.

Just because Todd says something, doesn't mean it is true Stephen.
Todd also says these people are not performing official duties. You(and Todd) don't get to have it both ways.
Either they are performing official duties and not getting paid, and therefore operating under the county liability policy...
Or they are not doing official duties, and are not being paid or on the payroll, and are therefore NOT included in the county liability policy.

Nobody expects you to know this, but for an insurance salesman to not know this? Not a chance. This is purposeful deception by Todd in an attempt to weave yet another story of his, light on facts as always. Or maybe he really is just that bad of an insurance agent.
The residents are not as foolish as Todd likes to make them out to be, and they see right through his latest round of nonsense here.

There is ZERO liability to the county, and that was a sheriffs deputy that pulled a gun in line, not a coroners deputy.

It's pretty sad when you and Todd are so confused by personal hatred, that a LIBERAL DEMOCRAT like me is more in favor of gun rights than you and Todd are. Do you understand? You are further to the left than most Democrats are. Let that sink in for awhile.

Tim,
I'm worried about your friend, and anti-Milliron cohort Jake Delrose... Hey Jake! We miss you in here! What happened? Did you run out of ammo? If you did, please call Toftoy. I'm sure he'll be able to get you some, and make sure that he charges it to Office Supplies.

Soo.... Everything is fine and dandy in Mayberry, right Andy?

View these articles and you tell me if those deputies should not be carrying. And if you still don't agree, I understand that facts are not a concern to you when making decisions. So what's the sense of listening to your nonsense!

Wow! little more action than what you may have thought in Kendall?

Sorry Yo-yo,

I have been to busy wiping away the tears of laughter from my eyes because of your posts.

I wish I could enter into the non-reality that you and Todd partake in because it must be fun there.

How could anyone take the information that they receive, Todd and Yo-yo, and create such a stretch from reality is beyond me.

The Coroner of Kendall County has been on the job for how long? and you guys now say there is a problem with the office, Johnny Come Lately?

Let's see how far this narrative has to go.

Yo-yo,

There you go again, claiming you know who I am and what I do. I doubt you know any of the people I do.

So as for your fishing excursion or your Mighty Casey at the Bat moment, just imagine that you don't have a clue who I am. Once you get to this notion, then you have just met reality and you can stop being delusional.
You have no clue who I am and nor will you ever know.
Matter of fact, you have even walked by me and I never cared to waste my breath on you.

Let's just put it this way, I'm much younger than you and better looking. but this is not about me. It's about a bunch of guys posting stuff on here. One group claims lies by writing stories and having others back him up on his lies and another group which sees truth and let's the sunlight cut through the lies and confronts those liars.

November 6th. See you at the polls. Hope you enjoy your loss. Still waiting to see where to send the sympathy card to Dabney. Game over.

Why would a coroner be at a crime scene without the cops also being there, especially if it is dangerous? And why would more than the chief coroner need a gun? I understand that the law allows for it, but you can't tell me that this 'right' is extended without some sort of responsibility required of the person giving out these permits. There's no practical reason for it in Kendall County.

Heck, the county dog catcher is at a higher risk of needing a gun during their duties as is almost every convenience store worker; long before all these 'deputies' would need one.

Animals usually don't carry guns, Mike.
Animal control does carry guns, they are just tranquilizer guns. They are well-trained to use them as well.
I'm sure if rabid dogs carried firearms, the dog catcher would carry a firearm as well.

This is the level of understanding of a 'friend of Todd'. This is his audience.

Jake-- you gave examples of criminal activity, NOT activities that have put the Coroner at risk. The Coroner does not have to be at a crime scene all alone without police protection if it is a dangerous scene.

When is the last time the Coroner or his deputies actually drew a weapon in self-defense?

And those turn into crime scenes. Think there is no danger there? That's just an example of why it would be a great idea to have these people armed. They are declared "Peace Officers" What is so wrong having another individual that is a law enforcement personnel to help keep public safety? Nothing, I wish all Legal, Law Abiding Citizens of Illinois could carry. This would eliminate this bogus argument here!

I understand Mike, I wish I could carry also in this state. I understand your frustration but this is not the way to bicker at a law that this office follows. It's the elected guys preference and if you or anybody else does not like this preference, go run for Coroner and don't allow your deputies to carry.

Yes, that's right. Coroners have been shooting people left and right around here.

For calling yourself Brilliant, you surely don't know sarcasm when you see it.

Yo-yo,

Still liked my best pro-Toftoy argument for ya? :)

If you wanted to defeat Toftoy in the election, you should have gotten together with Todd and publicly endorse Toftoy. You guys are sure death knells to campaigns!

Lame article. All it was is one guy, from Kane County, that has a beef with Toftoy.

Let's see here..... Oh! Here's my FOIA's from the Coroner's office.

Total Deputies: 5 Deputys
1 Coroner
Total: 6 individuals that could possibly carry

YES 6 INDIVIDUALS

Hardly arming Illinois or Kendall County.

Next crappy blog that can be debunked!

5 working deputy coroners? Why would we need more than one, or two? It's not like we are a Florida, or Arizona county. Sounds like a lot of people to pay for.

Harry,

Do you think these individuals are paid a full-time salary? Look at the amounts received for their service to the county. Not very much at all. There are no health benefits due to their part time status too. So what sounds like "a lot" of people to pay for?

Yes because of the offices track record.

Try to focus.
That was a sheriffs deputy, not a coroners deputy.

The coroners office has a better track record than the sheriffs office. And they should, as the coroners office is a law enforcement office with full arrest powers. The coroner even has the power to arrest the sheriff.

Was your intention to point out that the coroners office has been more responsible than the sheriffs office? Because that's what you just did.

And how is Kendall County not any safer because these individuals do carry?

As Tim noted, "Remember that off-duty lunatic on the force who pulled a gun on someone in Walmart for having too many items in the express checkout line? I know it was almost a whole year ago, but try to focus."

Tim quoted that because this was an issue at the sheriff's department not at the Coroner's Office. Apples and Oranges. Tim just called out the comparison as a distraction because someone else brought it up.

Tim has kept focus. This is a race for Coroner not Sheriff. Todd lost that campaign too by his support and his maddening FOIA requests.

Nuff said, right Yo-yo!

"Harry"- It does not cost any more to have additional deputy coroners outside of the initial training cost, which is under $500. The reason to do it is so that there are additional trained personnel to be ready to assist in a multi-death crisis. Remember the Bourbonnais and Fox River Grove train accidents? You never know if such a crisis could come to Kendall County.

OMG? Are you 14 years old texting your friends?

Hold up... Read the article. The guy had his own issues, legally. Next there is no where in Illinois statutes that allows the deputies to arrest. That is only for the Coroner, not the deputies.

As for those deputies in Lake County, if it did happen, pulling people over for traffic issues, that was outside the boundaries of their powers.

Horrible article to compare to this county. "Shame on you"

Now I'll use that quote as mine for Yo-yo.

I've filed a FOIA request to the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board for all the "form E" documents that have been processed (since 1/1/2008), or are being processed. These are the forms that are submitted by the State's Attorney Eric Weis that makes the statement that these people are employed by Kendall County.
I think we will find out that the names that are not on the payroll, but sworn in, will be on that list. It may not be in time for the election but the word will get out there nonetheless. Kenny boy, can I be your buddy? I want to carry a concealed weapon, just in case some guy wants to get into an argument with me at the Oswego Wal-Mart.

Yo-yo,

Are you even employable? I cannot imagine that you could pass an interview if these are the thoughts you have. And that's over one guy.

I doubt you could make the criteria of the Coroner's Office. I know you have some satire to insert here, but you could never make it from the issues you tend to show that you have just online.

I bet your the type of guy, that if you were on a case, you would believe anyone that died of a natural cause before the age of 55, that it would be a conspiracy. you would never make it.

Is this your "Oops, My bad" moment here? Are you trying to apologize for your short comings?

You finally understand that this is all legal for Toftoy to do? Send a memo to Todd so he can catch up too!

Good detective work. Maybe you could be a deputy coroner too. No, most likely not, you burned that bridge long ago.

:)

http://www.todd4kendall.org/Patchblog/Missing5.PDF

A person can only be employed when they complete an I-9 form, it is a Dept. of Homeland Security form. NO, “I-9” forms are on file for five deputy coroners with the county payroll dept.

http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-9.pdf = I-9 form

See sections,” What is the purpose of this (I-9) form?” and “When should I-9 form be used?

Again, Mr. Toftoy has not followed the law, this one has to do with Homeland Security.

Once again, Todd, your inability to construct a coherent request, is not the same thing as the information not being on file. A correct statement would have been 'No information relating to my specific request was located', after describing the EXACT workding of your request. This isn't a sales pitch you are making, and if you continue to use weasel-words, purposely leave out important details, and purposely structure your sentences in deceptive ways, you are going to continue to destroy your reputation. Although, it can't really go any lower now.

I'd tell you how your request was wrong, but I would miss out on the opportunity to watch your bury yourself in confusion. You deserve everything that you are doing to yourself.

Are you refering to a greaseball lawyer, who's in his mid to upper 30's? What's his firsrt name, again, Guido?

No but I have been told that I would have been a good attorney or judge if I decided to take that route in life. I decided to start my own business. That has been more enjoyable to .... wait. Second most enjoyable thing to do besides get on Todd and Yo-yo's back!

Thanks Harry.

I understand. Todd and Yo-yo are pretty breath taking in their narratives that they create. It's not for the faint of heart to read these two even here.

My best regards to you Harry and remember, Vote Toftoy!

Are you sure you have the full context of the quote, Steve?

Forgive me but when it comes from you or Todd, most don't believe what you guys claim...

And your right, you cannot add anything to that because you leave so much out for the rest of us to imagine what you left out.

Given the budget of the coroner office, and the population of the county... that seems to be what each person in the county pays per year for the services the coroner provides.

I'm not sure what Stephen sees in this statement by Mr. Toftoy, its is direct and to the point.

Buy a newspaper?
Do you put them next to your AM radio, and 8-track tapes?

You actually seem to have no idea how out of touch with the modern world you are. Although it comes through quite clear to everyone else.

No report of this in this weeks Record. Did not see that article or quote you are stating.

Go figure another wild goose chase from either Milliron or Yo-yo.

http://www.todd4kendall.org/Patchblog/Record%20election%20section_page%203_10-25-12.PDF = 10-25-2012 Record "Election Section" story, page 3 as referenced by Mr. Youhanaie

No body could say it better in the county, that's why he is out of the county attacking Toftoy because of a political boundary that protects Ward.

Keep on trying guys.. I'm sure you will hit the target sooner or later. Who am I kidding, they will never be able to hit any target. They keep on shooting themselves in the foot.

Nov. 6th. Vote for Toftoy, the guy that has the Experience, Compassion, Leadership and Motivation to handle the difficult situations in life that his opponent could only dream of doing.

Because what do you get with Dabney, A guy who claims he could do it all (He must be superman) , only keep the office open specific hours (cannot wait when there is a backlog of all the subpenas that are not getting processed and calls), handle a budget (when he could not even handle his own household budget and lost his home in foreclosure) and reduce office supplies(because when it comes time to handle autopsies and toxicology, supplies just take up unnecessary space that you could fill later with empty promises from a campaign.

Thanks Todd Milliron Campaign Director for the Campaign to Elect Michael Dabney for your backing of another lame candidate that poses more problems for the county then what anyone could imagine.

And what vested interest does Mr. Ward have in the Coroner's race in Kendall when he is a reporter in Kane??

Let's dig a little into this boon dongle. Any body have suggestions on where Mr. Ward has his allegiances to, before this election had even started?

I bet I can find out.

It's called MUTUAL AID you dumbass!

PT (Plenty of Talk),

And you just came into the mix?? So, what buddy of Todd's or Dabney's called you up to respond to me with such wisdom that you include?

And Mutual Aid to what?? Help us out to understand your strange outburst onto the scene and comment.

actually Jake, PT is right, when there is a disaster, there are gov't agencies that are connected to assist extraordinary situations. does one think that each, and every county in the gulf coast states has a hurricane disaster army? Paid for constantly? tthe answer is no, and so should be the coroner's office...Jake, i suspected you to be what PT said. and when you type on this blog, you do prove him right

Ah yes, Mutual Aid. Even though mutual aid pacts between coroners were only first started A FEW MONTHS AGO, you are going to apply it as if it has been there forever.

Watching this crowd shoot off its mouth, and only checking its 'facts' afterwards, is what torpedoes every single thing Todd is involved in. I can see why certain people find themselves agreeing with him so often, as you have the same faulty process.

Todd was actually at the meeting this was discussed at, and was there for the voting of it. Seems odd that he can't remember something that just happened. The coroner and deputies are still the only ones that can remove a dead body from a scene, there is nothing at all in the mutual aid agreements that changes that.
http://www.co.kendall.il.us/county_clerk/Board_packets/2012/packets/July_3_2012.pdf

Actually Harry, looks like Tim cornered you with that statement. Looks like you opened mouth and inserted foot since you have "decided" to show up on the scene for comments..

When did Todd or Yo-yo give you a call to assist in the argument?? Really haven't seen Youhanie here lately either,,, :))

Todd is pretty repugnant. But we still deal with him.

Wait, I thought you said, "i have read the Election Insert of the Kendall County papers. I will never comment on this blog again, as I am so speechless. "

What happened?

i was at the form, and now i have read the "trade barbs" blog.

http://www.ledgersentinel.com/article.asp?a=10357
other repugnant toftoy comments, looking for a raise

Please. I have been doing campaigns for 24 years. This statement, while not gently said, is not very damaging. You will see the results at the ballot box. The majority will comfortably return their dedicated and professional Coroner to office. No way they will put www.nodabney.com in with his embarrassing record at the Oswego FPD.

So it is repugnant to ask for a raise since you are the lowest paid Coroner in the surrounding counties?

Do you realize this county has more deaths then several of the surrounding counties combined and we still get a great service from a well qualified Law enforcement agency??

Probably not from your point of view from the Coal Miner's you know what....

@Jake,
Kendall County does not have a Hospital. We had 256 deaths that the Kendall Coroner processed last year. DeKalb County had over 500 deaths and La Salle County had over 900 deaths. Mr. Toftoy compensation was adjusted recently in the past couple of years to bring his pay up to par with nearby counties, yet he again asked for a $9000 raise this year.
Your statement regarding number of deaths is blatantly untrue. We are a county of 18 miles long by 18 miles wide with no hospital. 90% of deaths processed are nursing home or hospice related where individuals in their last days choose to preregister w/the coroner's office. 10% of deaths processed require the coroner to actually do a death scene investigations. Again, we had 256 deaths last year, 24 deaths required an autopsy, there are 365 days in the year, you do the math and then you can understand how someone like Mr. Dabney who is willing to do the workload of the coroner can now cut the budget by 20% plus and do it on, day one, 12-1-2012.

Todd,

Looks like your math is the one that is fuzzy. You do not quote the break down of the deaths of those counties as you have in Kendall.

And I did not state those are the combines counties that I am referring too...

Nice try. Go fish.

And those counties that I am referring to, also have a good crew of deputy coroners on their teams just as Kendall doe to operate efficiently.

Also I think one of those counties, possibly La Salle, does not even have a morgue as Kendall does from donated equipment... Their coroner must not be as resourceful as ours in Kendall, that being Mr. Toftoy. Ya he deserves the raise.

On 12-1-12, I'm sure we will see Mr. Toftoy still going to work at the Coroner's office performing his duties, as usual. He will also be providing education courses to the teens in the area, to which I know his deputies assist on and teach too, at no cost to the county. And all will be going great for the county because Dabney will never have the keys to that office.

Remember, how can a guy, like Dabney, handle and slash a govenment budget, since he could never handle his own finances and lose a house??

He cuts the budget by 20% because he will not pay the bills from the office as he did for his house.

Now I see how he will slash budgets ;)

You do to Todd, Right!

You are an evil human being Todd.
You are linking to an article that is attempting to take advantage of the death a 4yr old boy, for political purposes!
What is wrong with you?
What does this have anything to do with the election? Did someone hang themselves, making it relevant?(other than what you have metaphorically done to yourself here).

Wow... a supposed journalist that decides to put an opinion, online, that is worth as much as he pays taxes to this county. ZERO.

Todd,
Have you actually searched for your soul lately? I think the devil is holding it ransom for your first born because no body, and I mean NO BODY, would say the stupid things you do in life.

If that is not true, then you have drank you brain cells to oblivion and will never recover from sure lunacy.

So.. Milliron. What do you have to say for yourself attacking a guy that is helping his wife survive cancer and assist her with treatments?

Was it worth it to do this or do you always stoop this low to go after people when they are down?

You will be sued directly, and the Patch, by extension, for the many false claims in your fictional blog including claiming that Judge Wilson and others carry a concealed weapon when they do not. Right now everyone is busy winning this election over your embarrassing friend who can't pay his mortgage and has 5 disciplinary write-ups in a 10 month period. www.nodabney.com

What is embarrassing is Mr. Toftoy, purposely withheld official information about who were deputy coroners & the total number of deputy coroners. What is embarrassing is that five of the deputy coroner's in question, do not have any completed official county employee forms on file to include the Department of Homeland Security "I-9" form, something that is required for employment & mandated by the Federal Government. The “I-9” form is a legal requirement that every employer must comply with. Again, Mr. Toftoy’s disregard for official procedure & his lack of professional behavior for conducting his official duties has been brought into the sunlight for all to see.

Yes, Mr. Toftoy was “Written Up” in this audit, the auditor did not specify Ken Toftoy directly, but these five findings had to do with operational deficiencies within the coroner’s office to include Mrs. Purcell’s second leave of absence for maternity where she did not miss a check. Auditor Finding #8 which I documented in the blog = http://yorkville.patch.com/blog_posts/ka-ching-kendall-county-tax-payer-approved-33654974

Wrong again Todd. This has been pointed out to you MULTIPLE TIMES already, and you continue to do it.
You do not have the evidence to support what you are claiming.
You asked the coroners office for forms, they told you they don't have them.
From there, you made the ridiculous leap that this means the forms don't exist, instead of the more rational conclusion that you failed to ask the right question. In your continuing arrogance, you think the county works for you and will bend over backwards to get you what you want. In reality, you have burned enough bridges that they are going to follow the letter of the law on any requests that come from you. That means, unless you ask EXACTLY the right question, you are not going to get anything back.

Let me try an example for you;
Someone hit my car while it was parked, causing significant damage to it. I then ask you if you own a car, to which you respond 'yes'. From there, I make the leap that since you said you have a car, it must have been you that hit my car while you were driving drunk without wearing your seatbelt.

I told you already that you didn't ask the right question, but didn't tell you how to correct it to get the information you wanted. Instead of learning what you did wrong, you are persisting in your ignorance. willfully.

This is exactly the pattern you have exhibited in multiple posts, and it is becoming clear that you do not possess the cognitive ability to understand what you are trying to talk about.

Tim, Your right! People see a physical piece of garbage and oppose it. That being Todd.

Eric,
Your neighbor should not gossip without evidence to backup their claims. Yes, the deputy chief resigned, but it had nothing to do with a setup, and it is not being covered-up.
http://heraldnews.suntimes.com/news/15296774-418/former-yorkville-deputy-police-chief-pleads-guilty-to-felonies.html

He was caught by the State Police after an investigation. He was stealing drugs from the county drug drop off program, mostly used by seniors to get rid of expired medicine. It was supposed to be destroyed, but it was stolen by this police officer instead. While he says it was a 'personal addiction', there is no way 1 person could consume the amount of pills he was stealing.

As you may have noticed, Todd here was busy filling FOIA requests about what his political opponent was eating for dinner while this was going on. I'm sure a lot of people were glad that the counties limited resources were being directed to this.

So you knew about this, and STILL were busy figuring out with Ken Toftoy was eating for dinner?
You claim you 'serve the people' Todd, this is about as much proof that you are doing the exact opposite as that, as there could possibly be.

I think a simple way to find out the truth regarding Schwartzkopf is to put the chief and/or mayor "on the record" and ask them. Was he forced to resign because of trouble he was in. I challenge the Patch to do this and provide the TRUTH so we can all ease our minds and suspicions about this department.

No, just thanks to Todd's paranoia, every day is like Halloween to him. He sees monsters under every bed, and skeletons in every closet. It's shameful that someone who's served the public for so many years can't retire without people like Todd casting aspersions. So sad, but he's just a gossip monger.

Yeah, you sure are 'sticking to the issues' there Todd.

Research and information to what?? He has yet to reveal anything of significance.

All of this coming from the Green Party candidate, Todd Milliron... You can never disguise your true self, Todd.

Todd,

You are supporting a guy that would strip the Office of Coroner and make it a shell. This office, that Toftoy made and is an example to model even in Cook County and throughout the state, is how it is supposed to be operated.

It seems that your lack of ability to work in this settings, or in that job, now must bare the brunt of your stupidity and FOIAs leading no where. It shows that all you have is a vendetta to personally harm people as best as you can do. Heaven help you if you piss off the wrong person because Toftoy or one of his deputies will have to pick you up and they will still be professional about it.

Remember, Dabney called all of those deputies "Unprofessional". This man is a sad excuse of a person to be pointing a finger at people about being unprofessional, when he is the one out there getting write ups at his current job. I bet Dabney will have to resign from his post on OFD after this election!

Dabney will treat the office like he did his mortgage and that is how he will cut the budget by 20%. He just won't pay the bills.

One word on Yo-yo, CLUELESS!

He is clueless in his voting and looks to influence others with his delusions. Please, no matter how you vote, vote with knowledge and not Milliron fictions.

@Jake
I have never disguised my work product or myself, I use the name given to me at birth. The truth is a hard thing to deal with once it has been brought into the sunlight. It is a fact that Mr. Dabney can cut the Kendall Coroner's Office budget by more than 20%. Because he is willing to do the mundane clerical tasks and be the one to do the needed death investigations that are required. Those tasks can be performed by Mr. Dabney because of the coroner’s light workload. Last year we had 256 deaths, less than 10% required an "On Site Death Investigation", less than 1 death a day.

You continue to attack Mr. Dabney because Mr. Toftoy chose not to address the issue of number of staff needed to run the coroner's office or defend his spending for questionable items. Kenny’s creative cataloging of his extravagant expenses is well documented in line items within the budget that are unrelated to the “need” we taxpayers paid for. This is not fiction; it has been well documented with facts, which have proven many of the statements made by Mr. Toftoy to be false, a sign of a well-seasoned politician who literally does little or no work. Mr. Toftoy believes we need a Coroner to manage of one employee and 6 deputy coroners, I do not. You choose to defend the Toftoy façade and the farce it is, but will not use your real name, Why?

Milliron,

You never address the issues with Dabney. You have no clue on the operations of that office and the necessity of it.

Your idea is to strip that office and leave it with an incompetent person(Dabney). You have little to no understanding that the office must maintain a standard (how to operate a computer, Dabney's disciplinary issues of not knowing how to do reports on a computer). Finances need to be done by a candidate that does not have personal financial issues, as Dabney has from his foreclosure.
Why don't you state on this forum, for all to know, what Mr. Dabney makes from his $74,000 salary position on OFD as a paramedic and the accumulated pensions he collects?

You hid more than you present. Your credibility is shot and this is my real name thank you.

Welcome to November 6th. D-Day for Dabney to lose.

Eric,

You will never get the answer from anyone, in regards to this matter. The retirement to this issue was not in relation to the Coroner's Office. Another story has been tried to be attached to the Coroner's race without merit. Why? Good question since neither have been linked. My thoughts is that it is another wild goose chase leading to no where like many of Milliron's articles.
