Illinois public schools set record-high graduation rate, despite low math, reading scores! Despite what BBCHS will tell you, they too have low scores! Remember Pritzker lowered the standard requirements to make Illinois government schools look better in their outcomes!

Math is not a strong suit of the BBCHS School Board. BBCHS has lost nearly 500 students or 22% of their peak enrollment as of the current year's enrollment of 1,736, down again. BBCHS peak enrollment took place over 20 years ago yet they built a 16 classroom plus other rooms addition on the back of the building a few years ago. Now after keeping this information in secret from the voters, the board is spending $100,000,000 including debt interest for a mega addition.

In 15 years when the $100,000,000 is paid off BBCHS will be in a way overbuilt situation and have to close off portions of the building to save on heat and AC because people who do have children, far fewer are, cannot afford to live here without large home price reductions.

BBCHS board members who did the $100,000,000 F-ing of the community by getting referendum campaign donations from the contractors bidding the job, Jim Patterson, Ann Brezinski, Lubow Lewicky, Jennifer Edmonds, Sally Martell, Gretchen DeMarah Pammer and Justin Caldwell, who resigned after accepting a position with the Illinois Association of School Boards a reward for his successfully lying to the voters here, will be long gone from the area to a low tax state. But these BBCHS board members will be remembered as some of the worst lying people to ever hold office in Kankakee County. They will likely have their names on a plaque on the new $100,000,000 addition.

Illinois’ 2026 public schools report card shows 40% of students missed reading standards and 60% missed math.

Kankakee County Courthouse webpage shows Jason G. Diaz , Bourbonnais Township Road Commissioner, has had 18 legal cases filed against him, one is criminal, two are mortgages nonpayment and 15 are traffic offenses. Click on the three pages of legal cases filed against Jason Diaz posted here to enlarge to read.

Number 19 will be posted soon as a case has been filed against Diaz with the Illinois Attorney General's office for failing to follow Illinois law required bidding for $30,000 and up purchases with road district taxpayer dollars. Diaz spent nearly a $MILLION Dollars in less than one year in office. More than all the other road commissioners combined have done in Bourbonnais Township history.

Diaz is a conman! He is NOT who some think he is! His record proves it. OUTRAGE, NFP Corporation will always support consolidating local government bodies with a guaranteed put in writing property tax cut! In this case the amount is $500,000 to $600,000 annually!! The frosting on this cake is voting YES will get rid of this conman when his term is up.

Currently the separate road district commissioner Jason Diaz is being investigated by the Illinois Attorney General for spending over a Million road district taxpayer dollars in one year, most without required bidding and out of the wrong township fund under Illinois law. See chart with this post!

Searching the Kankakee County Courthouse website, Diaz has had 18 cases filed against him over his lifetime including having his wages garnished.

Diaz has been seen playing golf at the Elk's Country Club in St. Anne with a township nearly $100,000 truck he purchased with taxpayer dollars. Diaz was also seen using road district taxpayer paid equipment doing work at the Elk’s Country Club in St. Anne a private organization NOT in Bourbonnais Township.

Dissolving the separate road district taxing body and making it a road department under the township board will not only cut the duplications but will put road spending under the board approval.

A yes vote will Cut all the uncalled-for spending, duplications of administration salaries, pensions, health insurance and other benefits i.e. administrators, offices, attorneys, etc. resulting in a property tax CUT of $500,000 to $600,000 annually put in writing in a three-page document passed by the Bourbonnais Township Board. Nothing will change with the road maintenance personal. They will still be doing the road work from the same building. They will become part of the Bourbonnais Township Road Department instead of a second taxing district as they are now.

This movement to consolidate the township government with the road district government into one taxing body was started and done by Wheeling Township and Bourbonnais Township would be the 12th township in Illinois to consolidate with the additional two more that are on the November 3 ballot if they all pass. See document page 3.

Pass the word talk to your friends, family and neighbors, Vote YES! This is a NO BRAINER! Let's NOT BE LEFT OUT! We are long overdue for a cut in property taxes. When is the last time voters in our area have had a chance to consolidate government and cut property taxes? Answer NEVER! Don't blow this opportunity!

🚧💰 Bourbonnais Township Road District Spending Raises Questions!

The spending figures shown highlight a significant difference between previous years and the $1.1 million attributed to the current Road Commissioner.

Taxpayers deserve transparency about how public funds are being spent and what these expenditures mean for the future of the Road District.

🗳️ Tuesday, November 3, 2026, Bourbonnais Township voters will decide whether to abolish the Road District.

Residents of the Village of Bourbonnais, St. George area and some of Bradley, Vote NO to the Bourbonnais Library District's 85% property tax increase on the November 3 ballot!

Bourbonnais Library District will have a referendum on the November 3 ballot to raise their portion of your property tax bill by 85% next year over a $Million more for a huge expansion, see picture. Keep in mind, if this 85% increase passes, it will compound at the rate of inflation from next year forward.

This comes on top of the BBCHS property tax increase on this year's bill which had a 750% increase in debt service and interest payments already making this area one of the highest property tax areas in Illinois, the highest state in the union. BBCHS enrollment is down 20.1% or 468 students as of the last school year ended June 30 from their peak year enrollment 2008-2009.

Using the same tactics as BBCHS, the Bourbonnais Library District is telling big lies to the public.

Bourbonnais Library Big lie # 1 operating on the same rate for 40 years. As if this means the same dollars. Complete Bull $hit! The assessed value in the area has probably gone up over the last 40 years by 1000% or more because of all the new homes, strip malls and the huge increase in property values. So, they are getting at least 1000 times more money than they got 40 years ago. Just how stupid do they think people are!!

Another big lie is NOT telling the public the increase is 85%. They don’t know the tax extension sheets are available on the county clerk’s website to see all their numbers?

Just like BBCHS, they have hired a consultant to teach them how to lie to the public to get their huge tax increase referendum passed

Pass the word talk to your friends, family and neighbors, Vote NO to the Bourbonnais Library District's 85% Increase in their portion of your property tax bill payable starting next year!! Don’t fall for their lies!

Great idea!! Republican State Senator Sue Rezin, who represents Illinois’s 38th district has proposed Senate Bill 4203, which would make data centers pay a tax to what’s called a community benefits agreement a local fund that would rebate back to taxpayers a portion of their property taxes.

Under the current system Data Centers or any new development in a community does little to cut property taxes for homeowners no matter what lying politicians tell you.

Why? Because all new projects like Data Centers, etc. property tax payments, if they are not given tax breaks, go directly to all the taxing bodies involved as additional revenue for operation. NOT to lowering property taxes on homeowners under Illinois law.

Taxing bodies debt service i.e. principal and interest payments are set when the debt was issued so new projects do help with those payments.

Having said that, the operation part of the tax levy by taxing bodies is always by far much higher than debt service and there is NO HELP with that under Illinois law. Lying local politicians will never tell their voters this. State Senator Sue Rezin's Bill would change that for Data Centers. Great idea! Call your state representative's and state senator's offices. Tell them to support Senate Bill 4203!!!

Illinois State Senator Sue Rezin proposed Senate Bill 4203, which would require data centers to enter into community benefits agreements to provide tax credits to local homeowners.

Diaz seems to handle money in his personal life the same way he handles road district taxpayer dollars as a result he has had his salary garnished. A legal order to take money out of his Diaz’s check to pay his bills he owes but is not paying.
