Island Lake Trustee Laurie Rabattini is giving Buffalo Grove Trustee Lisa Stone a run for her money. Rabattini is positioned to eclipse Stone as the new Lisa Stone of Lake County government. Stone admittedly is a tough act to follow, but Rabattini seems equal to the task. Rabattini picked up some earned media (courtesy the Daily Herald) by using the N-word on her blog -- where she compared her political foes with the Nazis. Island Lake trustee in blog likens mayor to HitlerAnd more recently, Rabattini with other village Trustees have brought Island Lake to a bureaucratic standstill by flooding their village government with FOIA requests. The Daily Herald got the scoop on Rabattini's, et al., FOIA frenzy ...
Island Lake FOIA requests covered a variety of topicsby issuing its own FOIA request. One little known provision of the Illinois FOIA Law is that it is recursive. A FOIA can be filed to find out what sort of information has been requested by prior FOIAs. In other words, a sharp-eyed operative can FOIA a FOIAer. Cut to the paper chase, your LakeCountyEye has filed the necessary paperwork for the 10 most recent FOIA requests issued by Island Lake's Trustees. They are enumerated herewith for your perusal:

There is no reason a trustee should have to FOIA anything, they should have all the information they need. If they are given an answer and don't like the answer, FOIA will not change that, it just wastes taxpayer resources. All these trustees using FOIA need to wake up-you are acting like spoiled children.
